As always we loved Andy's food. The staff were so good, Danilo helped choose our wine, he was excellent. Also Roger and the Greek girl ...I can't remember her name but it means Rose. We loved every course of the tasting menu, especialyl the deer. Personally I found the desserts too sweet but I like very dark chocolate and don't have a sweet tooth so unfortunately the dessert and petit fours were much too sweet for me. We love this restaurantand will be back. It's our favourite in Dublin!

Have eaten here a number of times and the food has always been of the highest standards. Mouth watering steaks, large choice of sides to accompany same. Reasonably priced and with a wine and drinks menu prices similarly reasonably priced choices. Staff very attentive & pleasant. There’s always a good atmosphere as the place seems to be very popular. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
