    Have been many times and have never been disappointed with the food. However, on this occasion, the service was poor and we’d to ask for the bill numerous times. They seemed to be short staffed.

    The restaurant is lovely and our server was excellent. I ordered the fillet steak which unfortunately was burned,tough and extremely small for the price of €37 The cut of meat was definitely not a fillet as it was extremely hard to eat. I would have expected a better standard as this was the worst fillet I have been served in a restaurant.

    My daughter swallowed glass as there was a chip in her chocolate mousse dessert. Very poorly handled, as if it was nothing and we were ignored for most of our meal. I asked for a champagne flute as opposed to she wide brimmed glass. I was told there was none, then another waiter walked by with two in their hands. Something has changed in this restaurant. We go regularly, but last night our waitress was very poor leading to a bad experience.
