    Fab food and service as always but I can't believe how much they have increased their prices!! Always went here cause good value but now seems like they are the same as every other restaurant in Dublin.. certainly won't be in the forefront of my mind now when I'm booking a restaurant and looking for value for money..nice touch of offering a drink on the house tho..

    The food and service were good, however, we had to wait outside for a long time for our table even with a reservation. It was fine as the weather was good.

    We waited at the door for 10-15 minutes packed out, they were letting people who did not book tables in and we were waiting so we left.

    Greedy, greedy,greedy. No point going on open table and then filling your restaurant with walk ins. This is the second Saturday in a row I have experienced that resulting in standing waiting outside in the cold for 45 minutes. Not acceptable.
