“Prices are low for Dublin and service is top notch.”
BRIAN S., TRIPADVISOR
“Incredible food, cooked to perfection and melted in the mouth.”
CAROLINE, TRIPADVISOR
Both platforms rate this consistently high, with service singled out repeatedly; a handful of reviews mention firm table-time limits on busy nights and a discretionary service charge, so it’s worth confirming both when you book.
