   Pizza & chips are the only things I would be ordering here. Anytime I’ve been & ordered other mains, they have been disappointing & lukewarm in temp. Service can be slow also & staff are in no hurry to clear mains & offer dessert. Once you have your mains you are pretty much forgotten about.

   Overall experience lovely with great cocktails and staff. However I think the food menu has changed recently since the last time I visited. The starters of chickens wings were great with a really good portion. We were disappointed with the mains - we got the beef burger and pork belly. The beef burger was very greasy with little taste and seemed thrown together. The dining area was not overly full so I wouldn’t think the food had to be rushed. The pork belly portion seemed very small as well and very greasy - seemed like the pork belly, black pudding and carrots were thrown into the deep fat fryer at one time and then added to the plate. The potato fondant was a tiny feature. Similarly, with the burger it seems the plate was empty with a small burger. I would return to give it another chance but for the prices and reputation I think the menu needs to be rebooked especially the quality.

   Very nice and helpful staff. Low review as was served raw chicken whitch staff said they would bring me a new dish and I was satisfied with that then a manager dropped down the new dish and said it wasn’t pink because it was raw and gave explanation but I think the chicken inside was clearly pink and raw. Very good drink

   The only negitive i could say, was there was no hand cleaner provided if you ordered the chicken wings. A wet wipe would have been great. Our table placing was not the best either and unfortunately we werent near a window with a view. But the food was lovely and staff very friendly.

   There was no vegetarian option on the valentines menu and when I asked for a vegetarian menu there were only 2 options which weren’t great. The server seemed to forget that we were there. The food came in good time and the meat option was nice but we spent most of the time waiting for the server.

   Out of three meals that we got, we did not really enjoy any of them. The wings were very dry. They were supposed to be buffalo sauce, but there wasn’t much sauce at all and they were a bit dried out. I got the striploin steak for my main, and it was very thin and fatty. The outside was completely charred black, not like any good steak I’ve had before. We also got the beef and bone marrow burger as a main, and everything was just way too oily. The chips were covered in grease, as was the burger bun itself. The food here was not cheap and it was definitely not worth the money.

   Great ambience and the deco and lighting creates a cozy ambience which we enjoyed. I had the grilled chicken and my partner had the prawn pasta which was really good. They also have a huge selection of cocktails which was good.

    We have dined here a number of times and enjoyed it. Unfortunately on this occasion we thought that the menu are very limited, the portions smaller and expensive. My son got the tiger prawn dish and only got 4 prawns, considering the cost of €26 a few more Prawns would of been welcomed.
