The Catalina - Fermanagh

We tried the five-course dinner menu with wine pairing and were blown away by the delicious food and impeccable service at the restaurant. Thomas and his team made our experience truly enjoyable. The raspberry soufflé was absolutely divine.

I had dinner with my brother on Saturday night. The venue was beautiful, the staff was super friendly, the food was nice, and the service was exceptional. The surroundings were also pleasant. I definitely plan on coming back again.

My family and I had an incredible Sunday lunch experience at this restaurant on November 13th. The food was delicious, but it was the attentive staff and welcoming atmosphere that truly made our visit perfect. Our 18-month-old daughter was well taken care of by a kind waitress, and we felt like we were dining at a 5-star restaurant.

We visited the resort for “Afternoon Tea” on 8/10/22 for our 6th Wedding Anniversary. To say that the experience was terrible would be an understatement. When we arrived at the restaurant we had wait at the main reception area for at least ten minutes before being seated. When we finally were seated, we were seated behind a large pillar, beside a wall. When the waitress arrived to take order, she brought two cups of tea without any milk, and both of the pots of tea leaked all over the white table cloth. We had to ask the staff TWICE for some milk and new pots of tea that didn’t leak. The afternoon tea we ordered took over 45 minutes to arrive. When it finally arrived it looked like something that had been severely rushed. Slanted desserts, unfinished etc. When you go to a 5* resort for afternoon tea you expect the food and patisserie to be outstanding. This was basic at best. We were served a Victoria sponge cake that was piped extremely poorly and it wasn’t cut straight. We received the end cuttings of the cake as well. The patisserie was basic and bland, even the shortbread was soggy. We ended up not finishing the food, and left extremely disappointed. We have had “Afternoon Tea” at this resort many times in the past and it was fantastic. However this experience was so terrible, I really don’t think I would want to go back to the hotel to eat or stay. Extremely disappointing for a 5* resort.

Had the pleasure of having Afternoon Tea The Catalina Restaurant. The experience from start to finish was delightful. We both went for the Chocolate afternoon tea with the Irish Whiskey Tea and both were delicious. Caitlin our server for the afternoon was knowledgeable and very accommodating. They were able to accommodate that I don’t eat Red Meat or Pork easily. Wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Couldn’t recommend it more. We will be back. Annmarie and Mary
