The food here is excellent as is wine list. Went there recently and had early bird. Good choice and even though we were a tad dearly, waitress, who turned out to be owner, invited us in and suggested we have a bottle of wine before the menu was produced. This I thought was a great touch and would happen but... More

Went there Wednesday night with family. I had two courses of the Early Bird Menu and when I saw what the others were having for starters wished I had ordered one also. I had steak for the main course ordered well done - it was absolutely beautiful, ate slowly cos I didn't want to let go of the flavour! Had... More

Went on a Wed night and availed of the 2-Course menu - had crab cake and the cod - both so tasty and my friend's choice lovely too. Have been going to this restaurant over the years and the standard of fine cuisine has been retained. The service was great with a delightful fun lady serving us. We will return. More

Star Anise offers a taste of the Mediterranean and a trip to France taken aboard your palate. The warm atmosphere and friendly, efficient service is a worthy partner to the superb cuisine. I opted for the early dinner menu at €23 for two courses and €28 for three courses. My starter was a smoked haddock and leek potato cake. It... More

All the food tasted fantastic, and portion sizes were perfect. There was just the right amount of time between courses. Restaurant is small, but nicely... More

I had read a lot of good reviews for this restaurant and so we booked for a Saturday night. We arrived on a cold night and as we considered the menu, I found myself regretting that I had not wore a jumper. The restaurant was cold and I tempted to put my coat back on. We ordered a bottle of... More
