Excellent food with the right size portions for a 3 course meal. The complementary small tasty soup is a lovely gesture and all the courses are beautifully presented and taste great. Warm but unobtrusive service and no rushing customers to get the table back. Highly recommended.

Spent a wonderful Saturday evening at the Schoolhouse with my wife and 2 young daughters. The food, ambiance and overall service from the staff were all outstanding. A special mention to Germano for really going the extra mile to look after my family. It was greatly appreciated, and we will definitely be back soon as the food was also outstanding.

I was very impressed with The Leinster overall. It is a very impressive building. The bar on the ground floor has beautiful decor. The service was excellent. I had a very tasty and enjoyable cocktail called Peach. It was fabulous. I will definitely be back for it again. We went to the 5 th floor then to the restaurant. It was a great experience from start to finish. Eric was the gentleman who greeted us on arrival. He was very friendly from the moment he engaged with us. He sat us to our table. The wine was outstanding. The menu was lovely. So much to pick from. Eric went through each dish in detail with us. He gave us so much time. He was very helpful. We had the Parmesan chicken. Fab dish. Mushroom starter was so tasty. Amazing. It was truly a lovely evening from start to finish. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thanks Denise.
