The restaurant was very busy and the staff were under pressure but they went above and beyond to ensure everything was good. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were very generous.

We had the seafood platter which was amazing! Best ever (and we’ve had seafood platters in a number of coastal areas in Ireland).

Excellent service. The staff are friendly and very attentive. There is a good variety of dishes on the menu to choose from. We chose the open prawn sandwich and the Korean chicken bits. Both dishes were delicious and there were good sized portions.
