    Very expensive - food was good but not amazing - service wasn't great with our cocktails being forgotten - tables were too close together and it was hard to have a discussion with the high noise level. Wouldn't recommend for the price.

    Love this restaurant. Staff, service, food and decor is beautiful. It is also a fabulous location for shopping in town and browsing the Food hall afterwards made it a wonderful outing. It is exceptional for Christmas gifts and unusual foods. The dining room was freezing cold. The staff explained it takes a while for the large room to heat up. However, it got colder, with a cold breeze, as time went on. We had to put our costs and wraps on.

    I loved dining in this restaurant but my experience last night says it all. The food are still tasty but portion are getting smaller, felt we were rush and push. I understand its a busy time of the year but the feeling of being rush left us make my group felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Including asking questions about the menu the server were very sharp and snob in answering queries.I have to think twice to come back again.

    We booked the table for 2 for a business dinner. The room was busy at 8pm which was great as there was a lively atmosphere. Service was fantastic and we settled into a lovely meal. The Sommelier was excellent and informative about not only our wine choice but her wider collection. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable meal.

    Went to the dinner room for lunch with my friend, first time ever. Good was lovely, a real modern take on irish cuisine classics. The desserts were unbelievably tasty, and the service was great. Great place for a get together, very relaxed and altogether in a gorgeous Georgian setting. I will be definitely coming back for the cocktails!

    Amazing restaurant on the first floor, my only comments would be they had a party booking which then took over the whole restaurant for 30 mins whilst speeches and presents were catered for… it was loud and disturbing, we asked to move away from this party because of the volume No good for the other diners, didn’t think it was a party venue, more of a fine dining experience Staff were very helpful indeed

    The food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent. My only reservations were that the amount of smoked salmon for my starter was tiny! Also the ambient noise level was very high making it a bit difficult to hear each other clearly but the restaurant was very full and I wouldn't let that put me off as almost everything else was really, really good.
