“Probably one of the nicest steaks I have ever had.”
UNA N., TRIPADVISOR
“Freddie and Kelly were exceptional. Service and food outstanding. Will be back when next in Dublin.”

Tripadvisor’s value score (3.8) noticeably lags its own food and service scores, and OpenTable’s value rating (4.5) – the gap seems to track with the dining room itself, which is genuinely small. Most reviewers love the cosy, personal-service feel this creates, but a handful find it cramped when the room is full, which can colour how fair the bill feels even when the cooking draws consistent praise.
