Country Club at the Portmarnock Hotel

We ate dinner at the Country Club at the Portmarnock Hotel. The hotel and country club is located right on the ocean, and the small restaurant features very large windows that overlook the ocean. However, dining late in the evening, we missed out on the beautiful views. That said, the drive to get here at sunset was breathtaking.

Our dining party ordered the fish and chips, the sirloin steak and the seafood linguine. The fish and chips was a good size, but for me, the breading was a little soft, not the crispy breading I like with my fish and chips. The steak was fantastic, well seasoned and had a nice crust on the top and bottom from the griddle. The seafood linguine was also very good, but we were told, can run out quickly on busy nights.

After dinner we walked around the gardens a bit, and were taken to a coat of arms and plaque towards the front of the gardens, that explained that the location is formerly the Jameson Estate and the coat of arms is the Jameson family coat of arms.
