    Food was outstanding. If you want a proper authentic taste of Ireland come here. Beautiful little bistro style place with wonderfully friendly staff, great food at pretty reasonable prices for what you're getting.

    We were in Ireland for our first trip for 10 days, traveling around the country. Every day we were in Dublin, we wound up eating there, because the food and personal service were just spectacular! We’ll be back again and again we know!’

    We hadden veel goede reviews gelezen over dit restaurant en daardoor besloten er te gaan eten. Helaas was het geen fijne ervaring. We hadden een fles wijn besteld en twee keer een stoofpotje. De ober kwam al wat nors over, maar dat is op zich niet meteen een probleem. De wijn stond snel op tafel, wat altijd fijn is is. Het eten stond echter ook binnen 10 minuten op tafel. Ook dit is niet direct een probleem, maar dit zorgt er wel voor dat je snel uitgegeten bent. Met een fles wijn bij het eten is het lastig om dan ook meteen klaar te zijn als je klaar bent met eten. Dit werd niet gewaardeerd door het personeel. Tijdens het eten werden onze wijnglazen bijgeschonken (attent zou je zeggen), maar deze werden zo volgeschonken dat de boodschap dat we op moesten schieten al langzaam duidelijk begon te worden. Toen het eten op was en er gevraagd werd of we nog iets wilde hebben en het antwoord daarop 'nee' was (we hadden nog steeds wijn) was het duidelijk dat er niet meer aan ons verdient kon worden en werd zonder dat we daarom gevraagd hadden de bon gebracht. Ik weet dat het policy is dat je maar 1,5 uur mag blijven zitten, maar we zaten er net een uur en misschien 5 á 10 minuten. Het restaurant zat ook niet vol, anders hadden we dit zeker wat beter begrepen. Hoewel... het is niet netjes om je gasten het gevoel te geven dat je weg moet natuurlijk. Vervolgens kwam de pinautomaat er al aan. Mijn vriend en ik geven eigenlijk altijd wel fooi want we hebben beide in de horeca gewerkt. Omdat we zo weggekeken werden hebben we er hier voor gekozen om geen fooi te geven. De ober was hier niet van gediend en keek zeer geïrriteerd toen hij zag dat we geen fooi aanklikte op de pinautomaat. Normaal gesproken kan ik dit heel goed begrijpen, maar deze meneer had ook gewoon vriendelijk kunnen doen en ons niet kunnen opjagen dan was er niks aan de hand. Ik heb m'n laatste slokken wijn achterover gegooid, jammer!

    Waited for 20 minutes to get a drink in a next to empty restaurant. Being that the menu is horrifically expensive we left after the wait.
