My favourite place I’ve eaten in the last couple of years. The chef’s menu was delicious and service was so friendly. It’s very loud is the only thing so just be prepared! Can’t wait to return!

This hidden gem in Dublin is marvelous. Friendly, fast, and professional service, perfectly mixed cocktails, and artistically presented dishes surpassed in beauty only by flavor! From the fresh bread with olive oil and coarse salt to the tender and tasty Gambas and the perfectly seasoned, perfect "doneness" and delicious steaks this restaurant is not to be missed. And the wine list is extensive and interesting.
