  We visited this resturant last Saturday evening. I had been pre covid but the rest of the party had never been before. I cannot stress enough the service we got... read more from the welcome we recieved on arrival to the attention received during our stay and the appreciation on leaving was 100 percent professional. The food was delicious and the staff were unbelievable helpful regarding the menu, one of our party required a celiac friendly dish there was doubt the staff completely knew their stuff. Alex and Peter, the waiters, were excellent and the food we received was full of flavor and presentation was fantastic. I can say with no hesitation this is the best resturant i have visited in a long time if the best ever. Thank you to all involved in this resturant for a wonderful evening.

  My boyfriend booked us a table at Blue Serenade for a later Saturday night Birthday dinner. This was our first time here.
From the very first step in we... read more were welcomed by two lovely staff members who served us that night.
The atmosphere, interior, even the music choice were tasteful and really cosy.
Food was excellent! Really tasty, filling portions that match the price (Veg blew my mind! Haven’t had such nicely seasoned veg anywhere else as far as I remember). We both got Crispy Sizzling Half Duck with HOMEMADE plum sauce, mash pot. and veg. I don’t know what else to say here, I was somewhere in cloud 9 after the first bite.
And lastly, the two lovely staff men were really professional, attentive, and pleasant. They made our evening even nicer as both of us are pretty chatty and they did not turn their back on us but joined in on a small conversation making us feel welcomed.
Honestly, I am coming back and I am bringing more people in because everyone has to know and experience this place!!
SUPERB!!
Once again compliments to the chef, and big hugs to the waiting staff :).

  Blue Serenade is a father (Peter) and son (Alex) restaurant in Castlebar.

We were fortunate to have Alex as our server for the evening. Firstly, he was exceptional warm... read more towards us. He was good natured and forthcoming wirh menu tips. Throughout the evening he fielded questions through detailed answers and anecdotes.

It was fantastic to hear from him how much of their excellent produce was sourced locally. Meat, fish veg all sourced from the greater Mayo area.

The food was of an excellent standard. Between myself and my girlfriend we had 6 courses. All was of note - the sauce of the scallops was delicious (and came from Alex's recommendation). The duck spring rolls were spicy yet bursting with flavour. Both mains, lamb shank and fillet steak were a testimony to the quality of the produce and cook (Nagi).

The lamb fell off the bone and the fillet was so tender and succulent.

In terms of value I thought it was very reasonable 6 courses, 3 alcoholic bottles and 2 minerals for less than a €100 (97 to be accurate.

Fantastic food and well priced but the night was made by the excellent service. Alex is a credit to the trade and his professionalism and personality are we'll married for success.

We were fortunate to meet Peter, Alex father. We were the last to leave the restaurant yet Peter was in hurry for us to go.

Instead he spent over 15 minutes talking to us about Mayo and the kindness of the people since he moved there. Both he and Alex couldn't be more complimentary of the local community and was quick to thank them for their support due to Covid lockdown. Both were so grateful that so many bought vouchers of a business celebrating 1 year open over the weekend. The pair show the importance of supporting local.

Their excellent service is some of the best I've ever received with great valued food too. Continued success to Peter, Alex and Blue Serenade!!

  We went by previous reviews & absolutely surprised by the quality & value. The special Seafood Takatak was divine, tasty and well seasoned. Lamb shank was delicious & vegetables were... read more coated in something very yummy!! Oh and the Chocolate Profiteroles were heavenly, best I have tasted. Well done just what Castlebar needs and we will be back. Thank you Peter.

  What a dining experience! From the moment we entered, we were warmly greeted with a smile and unique charm from restaurant owner, Peter. He entertained us all night with exceptional... read more customer service and interesting stories about his time in Ireland.

Not only did Peter make us feel at home, but every member of the Blue Serenade team made our restaurant experience very memorable. The service was second to none!

The quality of the food was amazing - we chose the homemade soup and 5 chicken spice for a starter which we finished within minutes!! Followed by our mains of Chicken Fajitas and Duck Leg with Plum Sauce and mashed potatoes/vegetables. The decor was wonderful and very cosy with some music in the background that fitted the overall vibe. Thank you to Peter and his team for making our final night in Castlebar an amazing one. I cannot recommend this place highly enough for visitors or people close to Castlebar!

Peter, If you ever find yourself in our neck of the woods in Belfast, please reach out and we will have a drink.

Thank you again - Paddy and Claire.

  perfect experience in this lovely restaurant with my family this weekend. our host Alex was more than welcoming and professional! he's a credit to this place. absolutely fab food with... read more plenty choices would recommend the seafood platter! if you are looking for an experience and not just a meal this is the right place to go

  I don't usually do reviews but on this specific ocassion I will do an exception because this place deserves all the attention! My husband and I were looking for a... read more place to enjoy a peaceful Saturday evening while in Castlebar and we came across this place while deciding where to eat. What got our attention was the Maitre D' in front of the restaurant, in a lovely suit, laughing with one of the waiting staff. Both were very well presented. When I see staff being jolly and laughing, is a very good sign. Something reminded me of the good old fashion french restaurants where you go for a treat and this place is nothing but that!
We did not had booking made but we were welcomed and seated like the place was open just for us. The ambiance, the greek'ish decor, the music in the background along with the staff personality and positivity added to the captivating flavored food coming out of their kitcken got us trapped in a fairytale.
I have been in many restaurants but I have never felt like this!

Drinks orders have been taken first and then our food orders. We opted for their australian Sav. Blanc which was perfectly recommended for our Seabass and their Indonesian Special Seafood platter. I simply cannot express in enough words the quality of the food! It was a culinary treat! Yes, they might not have the usual floral decorations on their plates but their food is more sophisticated than in many places we've dined.
We had the pleasure to talk to Peter and Alex and they shared their stories and you could simply feel the passion and dedication they put into this superb establishment. If all businesses would be like this one, we wouldn't have to travel abroad whatsoever! I don't want to get across as being to much, but all I can say is that this place deserves to be pact every single day and I hope that the locals are supporting them for they are a credit to their town! I wish we'd had a place like this in Dublin! Compliments to the Chef and the team! You're all doing a fantastic jjob!

Also, I want to mention that this place not only makes you feel like there's nobody else more important than you, but also makes you feel secure in these crazy times! The tables are well spaced out so we can feel safe and they clean and desinfect very well tables and areas. Things that cannot say about many other places we've been around the country.

Well done to the team! We will definitely come back and we will recommend to anyone this gem! Wishing you the best! Until we see you again!
