    A most amazing restaurant in Dublin. Very reasonably priced high-quality wine list service was amazing with very personable staff including a manager, who came by to chat more than once and was simply delightful but the food is what makes a restaurant great. Here the quality of food was on a par with any Michelin starred restaurant that I have ever been and not just the one stars. This is in fact, consistent with other bib gourmand restaurants that I have been to where the difference between those with stars is more related to table settings, China crystal, and so forth not the quality of the food itself. Cheers to the entire team from the chef to the serving staff thank you for serving one of the 10 best meals of my life.
