Marco Pierre White’s idea of simple is old school: elegant dishes prepared using the finest ingredients by chefs trained in London by Marco himself. The deceptively simple menu demands every dish earn its place: the choicest cuts of meat, freshest fish, classic sauces. The vibe? Grown up, relaxed, playful. The setting? An opulent room you’ll feel at home in, only better!

Overall experience was fantastic, the depth of knowledge of the mixologists there was fantastic, having knowledge of the history of the drinks we're drinking was an experience like no other. The mixologists Gavin and Enzo were next to none, you can tell they're masters of their craft. Was up there with one of the best cocktail experiences in Dublin our party have ever had.
