One of the best steaks I’ve ever had, hands down the best value for money you will find in Dublin. 30€ 3 course meal left absolutely stuffed! Unlimited chips as well and garlic bread, staff were beyond lovely and so helpful, accommodating as well. Food came so quick, was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I cannot stress this enough, please go to try this place I promise you won’t be disappointed. Will definitely be going there again!

We had a wonderful meal here on a very damp cold Dublin night. Dishes were very tasty. Huge wine selection. No draught beers but lots of choice in bottles. A little pricey but not vastly dissimilar from more commercial restaurants, with a significantly higher quality. Staff were professional and attentive. A lovely evening all round!

Beautiful place, lovely ambience and decor. Service was so slow though, we waited ages to order a drink, even though we were given the menus as soon as we arrived. Had to ask for a drink, and later to order food ( even though we had the menus already), then had to ask again for desserts) food was delicious and the one staff member was very nice, but obviously run off his feet. We were going to the theatre closeby
