   The food was good. The service was slow. We arrived at 6.20pm. Left for a concert at 7.45pm. only a main course. No time for desert or coffee. Too slow! The restaurant was busy but not manic. Could do better.

   Nice atmosphere inside, service was a bit slow as it was quite busy due to an event on in 3 Arena that evening. Some staff members were extremely busy whislt some were sauntering around. The starter was really good but the main wasn't great, the burger was burnt and the bun was soggy. Overall it's a nice restaurant but is over priced for what you're getting at the end of the day - a burger and chips.

   Poor service, had to wait 30 mins into our meal before drinks arrived after reminding staff. Food was average, not worth the price.

   As usual the food was delicious, the service was very attentive for a busy weekend. The only downside was we were seated beside the outside smoking area and the door wouldnt close properly so the wind coming through was bad. Felt sorry for the staff, they spent most of the night trying to keep it closed.

   Food is good. Service is decent but we were seated in a draughty section of the restaurant which didn’t make sense seeing as the place was procticalky empty.

   Had a lovely evening here. Food was delicious and service very quick. The only negative thing was the waiters/bar staff need training!! Twice tried to take my glass away that had drink left in it. The prices also are pricey enough!

    Lovely setting when you arrive. Were told table was ready and brought to it. Left waiting at least 10 minutes before anyone even came back to take a drinks order. When we got drinks, white wine was served warm and waitress had to take water glasses from another nearby empty table for us. Sent white wine back and barman looked at waitress like she'd lost the plot. Next glass was a bit better but still not great. Nachos starter was the worst I've ever had - chicken goujons were minimal and barely warm, cheese on top was like it had been sitting there hours waiting to be thrown under a grill. Beef burger and chicken burger and the accompanying chips were nice but the chicken burger was so thrown together and messy that it was impossible to manage it without knife and fork. Sauce left bun soggy before half way through. Had been tempted to order an espresso martini when we arrived but when I saw the size of the cocktail glasses (about half the size of the average espresso martini!), I quickly changed my mind. Wont be returning, disappointed considering the rave reviews I've heard about the chicken wings, etc!

    Beautiful setting but pricey for the quality of the food, we had to send back our dessert as it wasn't what was described in the menu, got it discounted though as a gesture which was nice.

    The food was below average. The salad was dull and lacked imagination while the wings were bland and lacking in seasoning or sauce. The restaurant was cold with a really heavy draft coming in also. I wouldn’t be bothered going back

    Honestly we were disappointed. €17 for a sandwich with barely any fillings. Small plate of fries for €5. Completely overpriced for what you get. Nice setting and atmosphere and attentive staff but food could be so much better.

    We had the pan-fried salmon, which was very good, and the burger, which was average. The tables are very near each other, so we ended up switching to a table in the lobby, which was much more pleasant. Staff were really helpful and nice! Would come again.

    Myself and a colleague went for lunch. We ordered over priced sandwiches which took a long while to arrive. Not to blame anyone, but kind of unhelpful when you’ve only an hour to get away and sandwiches took nearly that time to arrive :(

    Bartender refused to make a cocktail not on the menu (a cosmopolitan). I would have thought that a signature cocktail like that would have been made on request. Asked for changes to the burger and they weren’t fulfilled.

    Restaurant looks lovely and has a nice atmosphere. Main course beef burger was extremely dry and lacked flavour the staff I mentioned this to accepted the feedback and shared that this complaint had been made before numerous times. The rest of our food and drinks were lovely would go back again but avoid the burger.

    The restaurant is lovely with high quality furnishings. I feel more non alcoholic drink options should be considered. Portion size of chips was small and presentation was not great but they tasted delicious.

    After theatre dinner & treat for my wife, our 2 kids (14,8), and I. Really beautiful setting & fabulous food, served in generous portions. Server struck me as being slightly inexperienced, but perfectly courteous & attentive to us - a credit to herself & the establishment. Well done to Russell & the team - we will be back!

    Lovely evening and good food. Was a birthday celebration so nice surprise to have a birthday dessert arrive to the table but was a little disappointed to find when I arrived home that it had been charged to my bill although it was not ordered and we paid for this unknowingly and had tipped extra for the gesture. Otherwise nice atmosphere and good food.
