Lovely lively atmosphere. Very good service by Paola- prompt but not too quick or pushy! I had oysters which were delicious whilst my husband had prawn cocktail. I had turbot for mains which was perfectly cooked although the white asparagus was almost impossible to cut- a bit too al dente. My husband had monkfish which is favourite of his but he felt it was pretty tasteless with the small piece of crispy bacon laid on the plate rather than wrapped round the monkfish pieces! Overall a good experience

Fabulous food, beautiful surroundings. We thought the service was very good but maybe a little functional. Staff could be a bit friendlier.

We sat at the front of house, it's was myself and my mother. We had the main plater to share for 80 euro and was extremely fresh. We also had the seafood chowder to start and it was delicious. The waitress that was serving use was a young blond woman who was lovely and very polite and severed us with a lovely smile. I will be 100% recommending sole to all my friends and family.

My rating for our dining experience is moderate because of a very unpleasant experience at the end of our meal. The food was outstanding and the table service was excellent. The at end of our meal we ordered dessert and a coffee. Moments later one of the floor managers (I wish I knew her name) arrived to tell us we had to leave the table immediately as other guests were waiting. I certainly appreciated the situation but it was handled very poorly and in my opinion rudely. Never in my 50 years have I experienced anything like this. Normally party who is waiting would be seated in the bar to wait as we certainly would finished quickly knowing that other guests were waiting. I expect better from a restaurant that comes so highly recommended.

I had an incredible Grilled Irish lobster and my wife had excellently prepared Turbot. For appetizers I had a sensational tuna tataki and my wife had a good but not great shrimp appetizer. Restaurant is loud and service was non-existent at first but then turned good. Definitely recommend having a meal there but don't come hungry because the wait staff- which seems understaffed, but friendly, may take a while finding your table. Enjoy!

We apologize for the initial delay in service and appreciate your understanding regarding our staffing. Your comments about the noise level and service are valuable, and we’ll work on improving these aspects. We’re glad you still had a positive experience overall and recommend us.
