    Recommend by a friend and we were not disappointed. It’s is in the Temple Bar area so it’s quite pricy but very good food and excellent service. If you’re a fan of spicy chicken wings, these are the best we’ve ever had.

    Choose Brioche buns for the burgers. And make sure the buns are toasted first. This will hold yhe burger together better. The dessert was very rich. Maybe slightly less rich and bold next time. Bring back bacon and blue cheese. And more fries The wings were incredible as always

    Excellent service, good food. Needed more goats cheese on the spaghetti dish but a really positive experience for both price and atmosphere in a busy tourist area.

    We've been there before, the food was really good but last night it wasn't nice at all. The cauliflower wings tasted like I was drinking bottle of vinegar, the rest of the food was mediocre. The service was excellent though.

    Hello Irena; We apologies the food not up to standard during this visit and we have pass on the comments to the remaining if our team. We appreciate the feedback and look forward to see you again
