Everything was amazing. Dishes are inventive and delicious. Service is fantastic and prices are really good. The ambience is lovely, tableware is beautiful and it’s so cool seeing the pasta being made in front of you. Only drawdown is that it was really cold! We were also the first sitting and went during the cold snap.

Food was okay. A bit pricy for what you got, but it was Christmas, so that was okay. Service was kind, but very slow. Again it was Christmas so that was fine too. They added a service charge which is not customary in Ireland. Not cool. I was going to tip because again it was Christmas, but I don’t appreciate when it’s added already. We didn’t have a large group.
