    Food was fantastic - we had 'snacks' for starters (which are very small) , great main courses and sides, and delicious deserts. The service was lovely and the ambiance of the restaurant was perfect. Thank you for a lovely night.

    The food and staff were amazing. Went to celebrate a birthday with a friend and could not have had a better time. The food and wine were delicious. The staff were super accommodating and attentive. We were the last to leave with zero pressure from the staff who left us to soak up the last of our wine and chats. Could not recommend more!

    We had an absolutely fantastic time. The food was amazing, the flavours were exceptional. And what impressed me the most was service. Despite the restaurant being fully booked they were so attentive, we never had to wait for our plates to be cleared and they were always asking for feedback. Would absolutely recommend

    Pecan pie wins Nobel Desert Prize!!! Had a lovely meal this evening. Service was friendly and attentive … but also very light touch which I liked. Food was delicious, especially monkfish (liked this for not being heavy) and stem greens. Also … I kinda liked that bread was not available so we didn’t stuff out little piggy faces with it before the food arrived.

    Absolutely stunning. From the moment you step through the door the simplistic stylish decor instantly makes you feel ‘at home’. The staff are attentive and engaging. The menu is perfect. Flavour combinations and visuals are next to none. Stunning sauces with glazes that shine like silk. Highly recommend. It’s no wonder they are in the top 10 restaurants with Dining in Dublin. Keep up the great work.

    Wir hatten einen wundervollen Abend! Das Essen war einfach toll und die Weinempfehlungen waren sehr passend. Der Monkfisch war der beste den ich in Irland gegessen habe. Von den Snacks bis zum Dessert waren die Gerichte sehr abgerundet und fein. Wir können die Cocktails ebenfalls sehr empfehlen, die einfach außergewöhnlich toll waren. Ich würde am liebsten direkt wieder dort essen, um auch die anderen Gerichte zu probieren. Der Service war einfach Klasse! Wir kommen jederzeit wieder, wenn wir Dublin wieder besuchen.
