Every dish was completely nailed-on. Utterly delicious, adventurous and classy cooking, served by stylish, knowledgable, engaging and engaged staff. Cracking wine list - whites served from magnums?! Wonderful! I had heard from friends and colleagues that this was going to be good, and what had promised to be excellent was over-delivered on at every point. A seriously enjoyable and enjoyably serious experience!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant—it exceeded my expectations! The food was excellent, well-portioned, and reasonably priced. The staff was lovely and attentive. Honestly, it’s the best dining experience I’ve had in a local restaurant since moving to Blanchardstown. I highly recommend it to all my friends! I went there to celebrate my husband birthday, and also we had a taste cheesecake 😋.
