    Food was delicious as always. Staff really nice and very efficient. As it was World Cup night for Ireland the restaurant wasn’t as busy as usual. Unfortunately as we were driving in order to get home for the 2nd half of the match we didn’t have any wine with our meal. We will definitely be back in the near future for more of the delicious food.

    On arrival we were seated given menus, our order was taken promptly once we received our food not once were we asked if everything was okay. We were looking to buy dessert after but after several attempts to call a waitress over we had given up. Bear in the mind the restaurant was not that busy at this time. After finally getting the waitresses attention we asked for the bill. When she arrived with the bill several minutes later. I had said is it okay if we pay separately and showed her that we worked out how much we all owed. She replied yes no problem and walked away? We then had to pull a second waitress to which we asked could we pay our bill. She said yes I’ll get the card machine we then had to wait another several minutes for the card machine. The food was good but the service was dreadful we will not be back.

    We were greeted warmly and shown to our table. As we ordered, a very astute waiter recognised that we should be looking at the tapas menu- which was so helpful. We had five incredible dishes, patatas bravas, fig, beets and goats cheese, Parma ham crostini, spicy chicken wings, prawns pil pil and a variety of breads with pestos and hummus! Our wine was so good and beautifully presented at room temperature. We sat for hours over this exquisite feast for hours, never felt hurried, but part of a quietly festive Friday evening buzz. Thank you kindly, we will be back.

    our order was very late to arrive . The table next to us arrived at same time and were served, had finished and paid their bill before our food even arrived . My meal was not served and all the others at the table had theirs . I waited to have mine cooked and when it came it was awful so I had to send it back and didn't reorder

    Had a delicious meal here on 10th June. Wings to start and had the Scampi and chips The chips are by far the nicest chips I've had in any restaurant, takeaway or at home! The scampi was really good and the salad with it was fresh and tasty. Service was really good, and we had a lovely meal. And bumped into a friend I hadn't seen in years at the next table!

    The food was of a very low standard, certainly not gourmet. Chips cooked in week-old oil, cheap frozen chicken burger patty etc. Would not reccomend.

    This was a work team event. The staff were excellent. Food also excellent (though The Beef in stroganoff was a bit tough, but sauce tasty). Everyone enjoyed the time there, and the venue is very attractive and well located near the Dart Station.

    The food here is amazing. Always a great spot for brunch. Unfortunately, the service is terrible. We were very rudely greeted at the front door by an obnoxious front of house individual. We complained to him later , but he was indignant and was entirely unapologetic for his rudeness.

    I recently had breakfast with a friend at this restaurant and overall, it was a great experience. The food was delicious and well-prepared, and the service was efficient and friendly. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a delicious breakfast at a good value.

    It was Saturday lunch madness when we arrived, so it took a bit until we got seated, but everything went flawless after this. The food was really good, and we got it quite quickly after ordering. Portion size is quite big, couldn't handle a dessert after the main course. We booked our stay in advance, thankfully as the place was full. Staff are very nice and efficient. Family friendly place.

    The restaurant iteself was very comfortable and I liked the decor. Staff were attentive, pleasant and professional. Dined recently and opted for the early bird.3 options for each course.Got the Calimari and Burger. Calamari crumb was excellent. For some reason, maybe because the squid seemed a bit stringy, I thought the dish was overall just ok. The burger was just ok also. I didn't think it was the best quality to be honest.The brioche was tasty, but the filling didn't do it for me. Onion in batter would be better replaced by plain fried onion in my opinion. Keep it simple. The pancetta...would be best left out also . I tasted a bit of the profiterole dessert which was substantial and seemed fine. The wine was good and the 10% off when ordering the Early Bird was a very nice touch. Perhaps the à la carte menu is more interesting.

    We booked an early dinner/ late lunch for Mother’s Day.it was clear when we arrived that the restaurant was extremely full and staff were under pressure. We understandably needed to wait for our seats. We were seated and our orders were taken quickly. Staff were pleasant. We ordered Louisiana spicy chicken wings to share. We needed to ask for more sauce and there didn’t seem to be any sauce: when it arrived it was very mild and lacking in any real flavour. The mains arrived. My mother had the burger which she enjoyed, my husband, the lamb shank which he needed to season and said he would not order again. I ordered the mushroom linguine which was cold. I asked for it to be heated and for more Parmesan and another drink and water for the table. By this time the restaurant had emptied out and staff were setting up for dinner service. My pasta was left under the hot lights and nobody ever arrived back with drinks, food or Parmesan or water. I tried to catch the eye of staff with no luck. When everybody else had nearly finished their food I eventually decided to collect the food myself. Nobody seemed to notice. Shortly after someone came and we were able to order our drinks etc. It was a particularly busy day for staff, but it wasn’t until the restaurant had emptied that we were left waiting for service. The food was only ok apart from the burger and children’s pasta. Overall a disappointing experience.
