We loved this restaurant! Small intimate atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly attentive service! Anne Marie was chatty and helped us learn some Irish phrases. She whipped the cream for Irish coffee by hand. Ask her who 'Max ' is. Recommend lamb cutlets, monkfish, hake, scallops. Michelin guide restaurant. I was too busy enjoying the food to take many photos!!

Absolutely lovely evening spent here. Food was excellent and a very high quality with loads of lovely flavours. The atmosphere was cosy and kind. It was not pretentious at all. The staff went above and beyond to make sure you had everything and enjoyed your evening.

Lovely night here. We had the brie and soba noodles as our starters and the lamb and pork belly as our mains. The staff were lovely and the food was amazing! The desserts were also perfect. Great atmosphere.
