    Really great food and great service. Our table was booked for 6 pm and we arrived late as the so it was given away . The staff acted promptly and got us a table 15 mins later . They apologised for giving the table away and gave us a free pint on the manager. It was lovely touch .

    We both chose the burger as recommended to us and boy did we hit the jackpot! Juicy and full of flavour served with delicious chips. How to make something really amazing out of the humble burger. Will be back.

    Can't really comment as they cancelled the booking we'd made a few weeks previously about 90 minutes before we were due there. Reason? There's a match on. Because you really don't know that in advance for you....

    Our last night in Dublin was a bit of a let-down actually. We went to the Storyteller as we heard there was good music there, but there wasn't. OK, fine. The food was unremarkable. I had the beet and chicken salad, hubs had the burger which had some kind of gravy on it. Not awful, but not stellar. i was sitting on a stool with no back which got tiresome quickly. The real kicker was the guy next to us picking his nose. One hand then the other, for a solid hour. Not the fault of the establishment, but made for an unpleasant experience to say the least.
