Middle of the road experience. Nice restaurant. Nice, attentive, young staff. Ambience could be a lot better with more people. Food needs more imagination.

The ambience is lovely but the food was just par really. Not bad but the steak was very chewy. Could be a meat quality issue as it was seasoned well and sides were nice. Might try again just for the lovely vibes.

On the whole it was a positive experience. We all had the restaurant week 35 euro set menu and to be fair it was good value for money. The only issue was that the pork chop main course came out under temperature. Starters were great, dessert was good and the cocktails and other drinks were good. Service was good but could do with a bit of fine tuning. For the money we paid it was good value

Me and my girlfriends went for a meal here tonight. We found the food to be delicious. We were all satisfied, between the service, timing, food, atmosphere, staff and prices. We each payed roughly 40/50€ each not including alcohol. Our food was amazing and they had a fantastic drinks menu. I would recommend 100 times over :)
