Reviews
The Mustard Seed has received positive reviews from critics such as The Restaurant's Tom Doorley,[2] Georgina Campbell[2][3] and a mixed review by Pol O Conghaile of the Irish Independent.[2] O Conghaile visited the restaurant before submitting his report for it to be published on 14 February 2009.[2] O Conghaile was on a tour of the region surrounding south-west County Offaly, County Tipperary, County Clare and Limerick itself, overlooking more well-known tourist destinations such as the Cliffs of Moher and Bunratty Castle in his attempts to locate what he described as "Shannon's hidden gems".[2] He described his experience at the restaurant as mainly positive; indeed he described the dining area as "moody" and the service as "chirpy".[2] O Conghaile's problems were with the food; although Kenmare cold-smoked salmon starter was "delicious" and the best of its type that he had ever dined upon, his main course of duck was "fatty enough to require a knife change" and the bacon breakfast he had the following day was "rock-hard".[2]
Awards
Dan Mullane and The Mustard Seed restaurant have received numerous awards for their work. These have included Black & White Awards but there has been no Michelin stars.[2] Mullane received the Best Use of Fresh Ingredients Award from Bord Bia in January 2009.[3]
