First visit, top class food. Beef bourguignon packed with flavour and the pan fried chicken was the same. Well worth the price paid. Nice chilled atmosphere and good service. Shall definitely return.

The food and service were great, but the table (and pepper mill) were... sticky. Not the best thing, especially during a pandemic. Still a good place for dinner though!

This is a really special restaurant. It is our favourite place for dinner in Ballyhackamore and has never disappointed. The food is wonderful - fresh, flavoursome and seasonal. The cocktails and wine are excellent along with Guinness on tap and a selection of local craft beers.The service is always warm, friendly and attentive, you are made to feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The ambience is relaxed and intimate, perfect for date nights and conversation.Give it a go, you will not be dissapointed.

Very disappointed in Sunday evening roast dinner. Roast potatoes rock hard overcooked as were the Yorkshire puddings. Just didn't live up to expectations after a nice starter it went downhill. The beef was more like pulled pork id expect nice slices of beef. Chicken was OK but overall sad to have to say we wouldn't go back at the prices

Went for dinner before my friend flew back to Canada. We had shared the Korean Chicken - fantastic.I had the lamb ragu and was. It disappointed. My friend had the chicken supreme and again delicious.For desert we each had the crème brûlée and it was marvellous.The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was perfection.Definitely recommend definitely will be back.

We had dinner here on Friday night as a party of 5. It is the best meal I have had out in a very long time. The food was absolutely excellent - I had the Korean chicken bao to start, followed by pork cheeks and the white chocolate and raspberry creme brulee. All 5 thought their meals were fantastic. The staff were excellent and really helpful. Drinks were really nice and the bill was very reasonable given the quality of the food. Can't wait to go back!

A great place for a nice occasion. Really good menu, perhaps lacking on the chicken dishes but offers something different than the normal. Seafood casserole was amazing, full of flavour and meat. Service excellent and staff were lovely.

Not overly impressed. Food average , steak and chips lacked seasoning, peppered sauce extremely runny and tasteless. Lamb was a extremely small portion of meat. Granted the wine was great and cocktails nice. We waited nearly 45 minutes from ordering our main coarse to recieving our main coarse. Was given no acknowledgement or apology. Not really the sort of service I'd expect with the decor and prices of the place.
