    We went with high expectations from other reviews but left disappointed and probably won't go back. The food was only ok, quite bland and ordinary. I ordered a side of hash with my breakfast and I got a few baby potatoes which was disappointing.

    Lovely place and atmosphere but food was average. A bit expensive too for the size of the portion and quality. Got the Avo Eggs and the crispy bacon was completely overdone and really hard which cost €3 extra so expected more. Was not much taste too to the overall dish. Coffee and service was good.

    Amazing that our big dog was allowed in and the staff were super nice to him they even asked if there was any food he was allowed it that they could make for him and so he happily enjoyed a poached egg (which was perfectly cooked) while we all had a really nice brunch I will be coming back

    The staff are so lovely however I feel the selection has become limited. All our poached eggs were very over done. When I asked for new poached runny eggs I got very good eggs but the plate came back with 1 less toast than was originally on the plate. Still tasty but the details are lacking a little.

    Overall really enjoyed the food but the portion sizes are far too small- I ordered the Aleppo eggs which was delicious but I could have eaten two portions easily. As well as this I ordered a side of bacon and again for the price I got two very small pieces which were not worth the money.

    Fabulous meal from start to finish! High quality produce with excellent execution from the kitchen. Niamh was serving us and she was amazing! The wine list is also carefully thought out with some fantastic finds and a cocktail in the bar to finish by the fire. Would highly recommend, we will definitely be back!

    The best restaurant in Kildare right now! Have eaten here a few times and always a great experience. The menu is modern and the food delicious. The service is very efficient, friendly and very professional. Worth going for the cocktail menu alone! Looking for my next excuse to visit.
