No atmosphere at all. It’s like you are in the lobby bar of the restaurant!

Food menu is limited. Fish and chips was served without peas or salad garnish. Gluten and dairy free guest had soup and side salad for main course, as were no suitable main options. With a half full dining room on Thursday night, presentation etc there is plenty to improve on.

Food was lukewarm, service was very slow. Second time here, first time food was average, but it was quiet that time, so we tried again. There was xmas parties on but seemed a lack of staff to deal with volume of clients. Also it was freezing cold. Not sure why, though we did ask. They said air conditioning was off. Won’t be back

The burger was 10/10. We came here before a match in the Aviva and we were well looked after.

Really pretty and intimate venue, although the service is something could be worked on A LOT. They do have n/a champagne, which is great, the food is just fine, nothing special.

Listing said Irish cuisine. Menu card g8ven had four items, a burger, a middle east influenced dish, a ceasar salad and a baked fish of some sort. Restaurant inside of hotel, no signage, and looks like the casual quick place.
