Easy to make a reservation, right in the heart of Temple Bar, perfect for date nights. Just wave to wait outside till they come get you, then you’re shuffled off to particular floor and table. From there the magic begins, fancy drinks very typical to generational period. Food is off the chains good!! We started with cheese and meat boards, old fashioned and some other frothy drink similar to a pornstar martini… server was so great, kind and attentive. Bar tender served drinks like a maestro… cants wait to go back again!

Two guys who like their food, over for the rugby. Booked the early bird menu, both had starter & mains. Best meal we have had in a long time. Tight fit in the restaurant, hence the name, but for me that adds to the experience, and in fact we struck up a conversation with the couple next to us which continued throughout the evening. Staff all pleasant and helpful, despite working in the confines of the space. This place cannot be beaten for quality and value. My second time here, and it is definitely top of my list when I visit Dublin.
