A group of 6 friends had a very enjoyable evening in the Little Kitchen restaurant. Availing of the early bird menu, the choice was excellent and the food was exceptionally delicious. Highly recommend the prawn risotto starter and all were very happy with their mains. The lamb is the best I’ve had in any Irish restaurant. Service was excellent and overall, great value .

This restaurant does uncomplicated, delicious, beautifully cooked food. Relatively short menu but everything sounded great - I fancied everything! The fish I had was fresh and perfectly cooked. The vegetables were also perfect. Everything was hot, straight from the kitchen which was 3 metres away. Waiters were easygoing but efficient and friendly. We were there early before a gig - the Early Bird menu was such good value.

I absolutely love this place! The ribs are the main reason I keep coming back—they’re simply unbeatable. The food is always amazing, and I truly hope nothing ever changes. Keep up the great work!
