    First time visiting for us. Great experience. Service great, staff excellent, food fantastic. Full marks all round. The pre theatre menu was a little drab for me but my other half enjoyed it while I chose the a la carte menu. Clean plates all round but the stars of the show were the halibut and the lemon dessert. If you’re going there get it. You won’t be sorry. Prices aren’t out of line with everywhere else and we felt it was good value but that lemon dessert …. The chef is a magician. Great job.

    Beautiful restaurant, staff was friendly, however. Food needs work. Fillet steak was so dry and taste was not there. Chips where over cooked, the mash was nice but a little greasy the pudding hash was okay.

    It’s not actually open on Mondays - not sure why it takes bookings. Ended up calling on Monday morning to confirm and was told I actually didn’t have a booking like I thought I did. Disappointing because it was booked weeks in advance for a birthday and we had to find an alternative on the day of that could meet the same dietary requirements we chose this restaurant for

    The service was excellent. Very attentive from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were very knowledgeable on what was gluten free and there was plenty of choice too. The king prawns were amazing.

    Visiting home from Africa to see my daughter in Dublin, this was a lovely location for a special occasion, pre-theatre dinner. Hosting hospitality was excellent, supported by a helpful sommelier. Nice interior location with a surprisingly warm ambiance. Overall, we will definitely return in the future. Any issues or questions were dealt with immediately and the helpful nature of the staff was superb. Look forward to our next visit...

    Had the pre theatre menu at 5:30. Very nice food and friendly service. However, a long wait between the starter and main course. So much so, that we passed on dessert, as we weren’t sure if we’d be on time for the theatre which started at 19:30.

    50 mins wait for meal. Waitress not familiar with menu. Got raw smoked trout and thought we were getting cooked trout. But manager didn’t charge us for one meal. Too expensive.

    Food was very poor, we changed it for something else which was also awful.

    A raise for Sebastian please - he gave us such a lovely evening! Lovely food, swiftly sent dessert to get us to theatre on time. Lovely food - my dessert looked like a UFO! Well done all.
