    Already familiar with Howth, we thought we thought we try somewhere we hadn't been before to celebrate our wedding anniversary dinner. One of us a seafood lover, lobster especially, and the other just happy with fish & chips. Both were delicious. From the moment we walked in, Jack looked after us, along with the rest of the staff. This has s a great spot with delicious food, friendly staff and a great ambience and vibe. Highly recommended!

    Good bisque, good tempura, good crab. Attentive servers. Touristic prices ( a bit above what would be expected for the meal).

    Great service and staff but sadly the seafood we ordered lacked any flavour or seasoning. A big disappointment.

    Nous avons juste fait l’erreur de ne pas dire dans quel ordre nous voulions les choses.. le vin blanc que nous voulions pour pour le repas est arrivé en meme temps que l’apéritif et le plat est arrivé un peu trop tôt… et le café est arrivé avant le dessert alors que nous le prenons toujours après … sinon tout était bon, avec un très bon accueil et si nous parlions mieux anglais, nous aurions pu préciser cela …

    Service excellent..our child's food was delayed but good communication from staff and it arrived. Wildly over priced though..22 euro for a crab salad..which was 80% salad...
