We went for the 4 course set menu (approx 30 euro pp). When we entered the restaurant we where shown to a private candle lit... More

This is a good steak & seafood restaurant but I do feel the prices could come down a little! Can be rather noisy and stuffy inside! Presentation of the food leaves a little to be desired...

Ate here a while ago with 3 friends. I had the burger with fries. The fries where terrible, dry and I thought from frozen. Considering I was paying 20 euro for a burger I expected more.

I have been here a few times and have never been disappointed. The staff are lovely, the food is lovely, the service is fantastic, food presentation is amazing. Atmosphere is always great in there. The staff are really a credit to the place and I hope it is still there for many more years to come.

This restaurant has a very good atmosphere and all the food seems to be locally sourced or is at least traceable. we only had mains as the portions are very generous. I had the pork belly and my wife had the fish pie both were piping hot and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Need to book early. Very tasty food. Great atmosphere, busy, lively. Only negative, were left a half hour after mains before dessert order taken - but was worth the wait, amazing chocolate fondant!
