    The food was really good (the dessert was very luscious though but that's just to my tastes). The atmosphere was nice and quiet so it was great to have a catch up with friends! The service was incredible as well.

    Nice setting pre concert for a meal. Restaurant seemed very short staffed especially as they had a bottomless mimosa offering and staff were busy with that. We were over 90 mins in the restaurant for a 2 course meal and our mains were cold when they came out. I’m sure a good place most of the time just probably with Coldplay concert, services was not as good as it maybe is the majority of the time.

    Was sure a great brunch and would come back as the food was great and vibe is what you want for a boozy brunch, truly bottomless. Service always topped up the glass and the demographic of guests was great and off the beaten track.

    The food was very good, but the service was terrible. Our waitress was surly and impatient. We had to get up and get her numerous times as she never came over to the table proactively. Despite the good food, our experience was miserable, and we won’t return to this restaurant.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT BOOK! Advertised as €30, when we arrived it was €37. We asked about the difference in price and the manager said it was outdated and not her problem. Completely false advertisement. The staff are clueless and manager was just rude. They should have honoured the price advertised and not con people into booking. The restaurant was empty and now I understand why.
