    Really enjoyed visiting. The food is slightly overpriced in and of itself but more than made up for by the experience in terms of ambience. Overall, first time going but not the last!

    We had a lovely relaxing lunch for four people in Glover’s ally. From the moment we arrived, we were made at home and the service was impeccable. Any request was immediately provided. we enjoyed the food wine and the ambience. Maybe you could provide some more wines under €60 a bottle.

    Very good overall. Really was 😊. Only thing I had is while we were at the end of the restaurant there was a constant cold draft, yes we are in winter after all, and you could really feel it, but bar that, staff were friendly and food was very good. Thanks.

    Lovely restaurant and food was great. The issue was when we arrived and said we had a booking, the person serving us couldn’t find it. When I showed him the email confirmation of the booking he said the hotel doesn’t really use open table as a booking platform but he would try and accommodate us. We asked if we could sit outside and we’re told there was no tables. There were clearly two tables outside not being used and when we asked if we could sit at one of them he agreed. It was an unusual first few minutes, but following on from that everything was great.
