We had the shoulder of pork as our main course which is the house speciality which was really special a lovely dish served with potatoes, salad and apple sauce. The desert of canoli was superb. We left very happy and off to the bord gais theatre. We will be back and would highly recommend this restaurant.

And the burger was delicious. Thank you so much. Very grateful to the staff.
