    Very good place, but when we arrive at the table we are not informed of the time we have to leave, so we order more drinks and beverages, after that the waitress informs us that we have to leave the table in 20 minutes, already bringing the bill and informing us that we have to leave the table, without being able to finish eating our food and having our drink!! I do not recommend it

    I booked this restaurant after seeing recommendations online. Myself and my friends were blown away by the food, service and the entire experience. So much so I booked a flight back to Ireland two weeks later to enjoy the experience again. Firstly, the service is outstanding, especially compared to restaurants at home. All of the service staff go out of their way to welcome you and make you feel so at home. No request is a problem, they truly go out of their way to provide you the best experience possible. They have excellent knowledge on the menu: both drinks and food. You notice the closeness of the team as they work together so well and communicate, especially when a waiter/waitress is busy with another table. We wished we could have given a bigger tip. Secondly, the food is outstanding. There’s not much more to say other than book this restaurant if you want an amazing meal. Timing is perfect, not too quick and not too long of a wait between courses. The food itself is cooked to perfection in how you request. I don’t eat red meat but my friends and partner believe the steak from this restaurant is the best they’ve ever eaten. I’ve had the chicken supreme twice and could truly eat it everyday for the rest of my life. Thankyou to the chefs. Finally, the overall experience is truly special. The view if you have a window table is beautiful. However, if you don’t have a window table the experience is still just as good. The open kitchen is probably the best part and the music is perfect for the vibe of the restaurant itself. Not too loud and not too quiet. Even the toilets get a 10/10 from me. Thankyou, can’t wait to be back.
