    Not a lot of options for someone who is Coeliac and lactose intolerant. Personally didn’t love the vibe it felt cheesy with the decor.

    The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It's a place that you can't miss if you visit Dublin. The service is 5 stars. The staff is always smiling and they are really friendly. The music and ambience are wonderful. It's one of my favourite places in town

    Overall good experience but it did take over half an hour to be acknowledged by the waiters at our table after multiple attempt to get their attention. Service just wasn’t the most attentive

    This was our first restaurant on our trip to Dublin and we absolutely loved it! We were able to get one of the last reservations available for the next 2 weeks and had dinner at 9pm. We were greeted and sat immediately and service was wonderful. My partner and I both ordered an espresso martini and it was delicious. We then split the fish and chips for our main entree and it was incredible! For a side, we ordered the Brussel sprouts and roasted carrots and those were both phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend!
