Delicious food. Everything served quickly. Staff were always checking in (in a non-intrusive way) to see if we needed anything else or top ups, they were really lovely and attentive. Really great experience. Also, it was outrageously affordable for Dublin city centre prices. Looking forward to going back.

Excellent rib eye steak. Parseman and truffle fries were dry and disappointed with them. Disappointed that they don't serve oat milk or soya milk or almond milk cos I asked for the black tea with oat milk. They said they don't have specific milks so remember that people have sensitive stomachs. I would suggest you to think about serving specific milks and get more business with the people. Thank you Sandra
