"Excellent fine dining experience in Dublin. The waiter we had was exuberant and committed to tailoring the dining experience to our specifications. The options of food ranged from vegetarian to meat, game and fish. Great oysters and surprisingly the olives were a highlight. They brine them in house! We loved them so much my husband had a dirty martini made from them. The menu has a lot of variety and we were curious so we ordered the ox tongue which I normally wouldn’t have tried. To my surprise it was tasty and seared perfectly. I have had tongue before and the texture is not my thing but I enjoyed trying this style. The pork chop entree was very good. The gnocchi was creamy and had a twist with the flavor. Actually everything had was built on the plate so as you mixed things together you found yourself on a food journey that burst and highlighted the unexpected parts of the dish— an herb, or a smatter of cream or a yellow gel. I would say it’s an adventurous dining experience and I imagine the chef is in the back with a palette carefully playing with the whole experience. The front of house really care and are making their rounds glancing over every few minutes to make sure we have what we need. Checking in at the right times. The pacing and rhythm of meal felt spot on. They had non-alcoholic options. The desert was so fun. we had a surprise not on the menu chocolate based cake with no name! They treated us like special guests. Then the desert we ordered came out, cheesecake. Trying each component on its own was okay but then we combined the flavors and everything popped in our mouth. There was a little herb on the plate I had never had that left an impression! Small but mighty flavor! It was such a cozy spot we had as well. It was quiet and under the stairs. We loved the whole experience."

"Restaurant was inviting, festive and warm. The online booking hadn 't worked so they didn 't know we were coming, but found us a table anyway. Saturday lunch, so it was quite busy, but I suspect a second drinks order was forgotten until we reminded them. First glass was (when finished) found to be covered in old fingerprint smears and lipstick marks. Food was generally good, the family enjoyed theirs. I had a wagyu burger which admittedly in a British pub is probably expecting a little much, but it was just a burger, and overcooked. It was tasty, but I wasn 't asked how I 'd like it cooked (which I often have elsewhere and seems to be the norm these days) and it was quite dry. Presumably they can 't say it 's Wagyu unless it actually is, but I think the term is used often casually to mean 'super extra special massaged beer-fed cow meat ' whereas in actual fact it 's just a breed of cattle. So it was just a burger. IT came with bacon which was nicely cooked and actually tasted of smoked bacon (rare these days), and sweet potato fries which were really delicious, crispy and HOT (which is how chips should arrive). Condiments are good quality too. The mains took longer than we would have liked to arrive. All in all, I 'd go back because it 's a nice place, the food is good but needs more attention, and the price is on the high side but still okay. Staff are courteous. more aloof than I would prefer, but probably just right for a lot of people who don 't favour staff interaction much."
