    Lovely lovely dinner, but the noise level on the top floor too loud .. need to invest in dampening ceiling pieces as people should be able to have fun and laugh without an echo for other guests

    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.
