The seafood platter was delicious and, although pricey as a special on the night, there was a generous amount of selection on the plate. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Venue is a little cramped particularly on a busy Saturday evening. Overall would recommend

Our first table was very small for 6 of us. Manager moved us to a window seat which was perfect. We're Italian so we're extremely picky when it comes to Italian food. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They even brought ice cream with a candle in it at the end of our meal for our son's birthday. It was the perfect meal to end our trip to Ireland.
