We had a lovely experience here when we visited cork. Lovely cosy chairs & great atmosphere. We were waiting a while for drinks so my partner actually got them himself from the bar but this was only due to minimal staff! The staff that were working were lovely, very accommodating but were running around constantly trying to get to tables as there was only 3 people on the floor! But, considering they were getting a bit of stick from other customers, they were very helpful. We really enjoyed our time here. Food was delicious & we weren't waiting long! Would definitely go back!
