We had a really nice experience when myself and my wife dined there. Waiter service was quick and efficient with friendly staff. Food was beautiful and there was a great buzz around the restuarant. Only issue I had was that it was quiet pricey but other than that it was great.

Beautiful restaurant. The staff were very professional. We had the smoked salmon and mussels to start, both were excellent. The monkfish and fish pie mains were excellent. The Guinness cake was good. The coffee was very good. Looking forward to our next visit.

Delightful from the minute we walked through the front door. There are times when a mediocre meal can be salvaged by a great wait staff. And then there are times when a great meal can be made awful by a horrible wait staff. Pleased to say that this was a GREAT meal served by a FANTASTIC wait staff. Dover Sole and Beef Carpaccio were outstanding. Caesar salad was prepared perfectly. I ordered the Dingle crab and it was very good. Definitely recommend as this was one of the best restaurants we have been to on our trip.
