    My wife and I went for dinner last night, and from the moment we arrived till the moment we left, we really enjoyed the experience. The staff were very nice and they had a real good balance of being friendly but also very professional in their service. For starters, we had the pig cheeks and the gorgonzola salad. For main, we had the Sea Bass and the Bombardini Pasta. The starters and mains were really well presented, tasted fab, and we were both really happy. We had the Ndugo Mayo and Parmasan fries along with carrots and parsnips on the side. These were such a treat. For drinks, we had cocktails and some red wine. All were really good. We finished off our meal by sharing the sundae, the sauce was so good and I love pecans, so I am biased that the sundae was so delicious. All in all, a really great experience. We would definitely go again and we would certainly recommend it to our friends.

    Me and my partner went for the valentines sharing experience and it was absolutely amazing food, starters,tomahawk steak, dessert and a bottle of wine for €120 was just amazing. The waitress we had was so attentive, I didn’t catch her name but she had braids in her hair. Thank you so much for an amazing evening. We will definitely be back.

    Very good food. My tomato starter was rather bland (needed a dressing - maybe a balsamic glaze or just a vinaigrette dressing?) but the rest of the meal was very good. The pork belly was excellent. Crackling was so tasty. Tiramisu lovely and the mango sorbet delightful.
