   Over priced and over rated. Staff were very good but the food was poor. The bill came to 200 euro for 3 of us, but it does in no way reflect the food we received. Was it because it was a pre concert meal? Who knows, but it was a let down.

   Hi Olivia, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we're glad to hear our team took good care of you, we're genuinely sorry to learn that the food and overall value didn’t meet your expectations — especially on what should have been a special pre-concert evening. We completely understand your frustration and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your comments have been shared with our kitchen team, and we’ll be looking closely at how we can do better. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to provide the experience we’re truly proud of. Warm regards, Maria Assistant Restaurant Manager

   Food excellent, particularly the deserts. Service very hit and miss, mix up with wines, deserts and my coffee was forgotten until waitress was reminded. Waitress very pleasant but restaurant looked understaffed of table servers, a lot of what appeared to be management.

   Hi Nigel, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet expectations.

We truly appreciate your comments and hope we might have the opportunity to welcome you back for the experience we’re known for. Warm regards, Maria Assistant Restaurant Manager

   Fillet steak an absolute rip off . It was cheap, old and not cooked properly. The lamb replacement was almost as bad.

   Lovely meal, very little on the plate for the price. Staff made up for it. Friendly service

   I came to the restaurant with good expectations. However, was left very disappointed, primarily down to the service provided. The staff either don’t seem well trained to the standard of what one would expect in the service industry, or they’re just rude. Secondly, the food was good, but not for the extortionate price, there was very little value. Food experience could have been elevated by the service, but was not to be. A shame, will not be back.

   Hi Páraic, I’m genuinely sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with us. We aim to provide both excellent food and service, and it’s heartbreaking to know we missed the mark during your visit. Your feedback about our staff is concerning, and we will address this immediately with our team to ensure we improve both our training and our customer interactions. We also deeply regret that the value of the meal did not meet your expectations. We truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to make necessary changes. I understand your decision not to return, but I sincerely hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards, Maria Assistant Restaurant Manager

   Very poor choice on menu, everything pre cooked, food cold and dessert stale... The selling point is that it's convenient but completely over priced fir very poor food

I’m glad to hear, though, that you enjoyed our service and the ambiance, but I understand that it wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of your experience.
