    We are locals and visit the PK reasonably frequently. They have been and still are very good at what they do/offer. GM Emer & her team provide great service. Food is always hot & fresh. Lovely cosy atmosphere indoors. Best wishes for 2025 to all concerned.

    Always an enjoyable experience. Fergal makes you feel so relaxed and very much at home. Food is first class, today we shared several courses, all with great flavours. It's the the 5th time I have brought newbies to this hidden gem.

    We had a lovely meal with great service. It took a while for us to get an allergen menu for one of our party but the staff were aware of allergens in dishes when asked. We were even offered extra tortillas to go with the duck when we still had loads of duck left but no tortillas.

    Really lovely experience from start to finish. Service was really attentive and friendly. Lovely menu and we all enjoyed everything we ordered, from delicious bruschetta and aubergine parmigiana to gorgeous whole black sole, mushroom ravioli and seafood pasta. The homemade tiramisu was divine also! Looking forward to going back!
