Every course was great, and several courses — a preserved strawberry sorbet with a pepper foam palate cleanser; a langoustine and caviar bite; an incredible rice pudding with rosemary sherbet dessert—were amongst the best dishes I’ve been served anywhere in Ireland. Service was warm and superb, and the space is cosy and charming. Very worth a journey to try it, the best and most interesting meal I’ve been served in Ireland in years.

Incredible experience; delicious food; knowledge, friendly, contentious staff. Wine pairing was excellent, as was the juice pairing! Will 100% be back. read more Incredible experience; delicious food; knowledge, friendly, contentious staff. Wine pairing was excellent, as was the juice pairing! Will 100% be back.
