Second time coming here in a good few years, but the vibe is still fab. Cute sophisticated interior, great space overall, great music. The food was okay. I had the cauliflower steak which had good flavour but realistically was just a whole cauliflower with garlic sauce and sultanas… and it was the only vegetarian option that wasn’t a pizza so not ideal. Would’ve probably preferred if it wasn’t sitting in a bed of water too and was more grilled. My friend got the shrimp pasta which he didn’t love either and ended up ordering a pizza instead. The garlic aioli fries and the truffle fries were gorge nonetheless. Cocktails were stunning, we tried so many different ones and really couldn’t fault them. Very well balanced for sure. Would give the service 100 stars if I could! The waiter we had- who we are so upset we didn’t get the name of but he had red hair and glasses and was an absolute diva in the best way. He was very honest, super helpful, patient and quite amusing. He sang happy birthday to my friend with enough energy to cover at least 5 people and then we saw him sing it in Portuguese I believe to another table and we were SO IMPRESSED! Would come back just for the energy he brings to the place, such a gem!!

Nice place, service good. Pizzas really nice. My 17 year old had a non alcoholic cocktail and it was basically juice in a small glass for €10 which was rip off and no cheese on charcuterie board but was still nice. I would go back though

I had a lovely time with my girlfriend and family, our server Fionn was very pleasant and the banter was excellent. His recommended dishes were thoroughly enjoyed and the energy all night was great. The restaurant was quite busy hence there were a few delays on drink refills but it really didn’t matter because of how great everything was. Towards the end we were served by a newer Brazilian member of staff, he was great to chat to and overall the energy and experience of our was night was great. Would happily go again and recommend to a friend.

Thank you so much for making our two friends 40th Birthday celebrations, so special! The food and service was exceptional, and you offer great gluten free options, which is hard to find! We would like to give a special mention to Fion, who made us laugh and smile the whole night. We will definitely return next time we come to Ireland. Thank You x
