Best restaurant I have been to so far in Ireland. I had booked the terrace for the nice views. Spectacular views especially during the evening. Was a bit too chilly even with the heating provided. However we were provided with blankets to cover up. The service was exceptional, food came fast, tasted good as well. Just the steak wasn’t hot enough but still tasted good. A bit costly but I would say worth the experience.

Our main was great, fantastic actually. The chips as a side were not good though. The place could do with a bit of background music, but that wouldn't stop us from returning

The food was nice however we ordered nachos and for an extra €7 added chilli beef but we found this to be very scarce. It wasn’t a lot. And just for the price, we expected more. We got wings and chips. Wings were spicy absolutely delicious. The chips were not great, very soggy. We never got water or wipes with the wings which I thought was strange. The Guinness my boyfriend got wasn’t great. Very flat so just wouldn’t get that again. But the pints and wine were nice.
