                                              We had a pint of prawns, the monkfish special and steak. The food was delicious and the monkfish in particular was beautiful. The staff were attentive, friendly and happy to help with recommendations. Our table was in the covered outdoor area, which we were aware of when booking, but it was a cold night so we didn’t linger. I will go back over the summer though as we all enjoyed the visit!

                                              Fabulous meal, drinks and service. Great for after a match in the Aviva (or any occasion).
