Stylish modern restaurant, nice spacing of tables, good buzz not overly reverential! Great local ingredients cooked with flair. We had the tasting menu which was well paced and sensible portion sizes. Standout dishes: beet tartare and mint sorbet.
Very attentive friendly and professional staff

We chose this restaurant for my husband's birthday meal because it was the only one available in the michelin guide which actually offered us lactose free alternatives. The other did not care and also some wanted put 9year old to pay for the entire menu which is a lot.
The food was great and the lactose free alternative very tasty as well. However we do agree with other reviews that the service could be better. All the employees were very nice once we got hold of them, but there could me much more proactivity, which is unusual for a 1 star restaurant.
We would still recommend the place and it works also very well to take kids, it is spacy and very tolerant. However it did not seem to have a diaper changing room.

Lovely setting. We had a view over St. Stephen’s Green. The food is beautifully presented and tastes delicious. We’re big eaters so we would have liked slightly bigger portions. Loved when chef Andy came out and spoke with us, as he did with all fellow diners. I also loved being told what we were eating. On the pricey side but a lovely treat all the same.

On all a very enjoyable evening. Took a while to get our starters.
Had put in when booking that it was my birthday but this had not been picked up by the staff.
