    Small menu, food is nice - kids love the pancakes. I had a ottenlengi platter which was very small for €16.50 considering it was the same price as the burger and chips.

    Very disappointing indeed. I ordered the full Irish breakfast and it was dismal, it cost 13.50 no tea or coffee included, one slice of toast cut in half, the sausages were poor quality, and the pudding was a disgrace. My friend had a vegetarian dish with humus and pitta , a very small portion which set her back 16.50! Absolute extortionate prices for what you get! I don't mind Nd paying these prices at all but only when the food is up to par. Total rip off.

    Probably the worst hosting experience I have witnessed in any restaurant. Overpriced food in a tired unit that needs a good clean. No understanding how this business has received it's 4 star rating, truly unobtainable based on the night we dined.
