Food was excellent, but overpriced. Service was horrible as we had to keep asking the waiter for things, event to clear the table. He was terrible. Then at the end they tried to double tip us! We had a party of 6, so the tip was already included and the manager said it wasn’t, so I had to show her it was already included.

Very nice fish restaurant, friendly and efficient staff, very good quality food and fairly nice ambience. Wine was a little over-priced for my liking, but that seems to be more and more the case in Dublin generally. I had soup to start, fantastic. Then monkfish for my main, very nice. All in all, a good shout for an upmarket fish restaurant in Dublin. Two starters, two mains and a bottle of wine, with good tip, just over €200.

Overall this was disappointing; having chosen the ‘tower’ it arrived very quickly, as if it had been waiting in the kitchen. Crab claws were very dry & the mussels tiny. €137 was overpriced. We were served by 4 different waiters & there was no real interaction, & the restaurant lacked any atmosphere. In my opinion this restaurant has been overhyped.

The food was mainly good and large size portions. I wish the server told us we were ordering too much good. Also, I believe the scallops in the Coquille St Jacques could have been fresher. I’m a bit of a scallop snob and just not the best.
