Went there for birthday meal with wife. Excellent service. Lovely meal. Staff very good. Made little birthday desert. Only little thing was that they were out of Pinot Grigot. Otherwise very good

Susan and Co. thanks so much for all the work you put into the night we had there. It was outstanding. Service was first class, the food was beyond brilliant. The flavours and the presentation were fantastic. We are so lucky to have a great place to relax in Mayo. Friends in London who ate there in April send their... More

I've eaten here before but this is my first review. Had a meal with my wife and three kids and couldn't find a single fault with the food or the value. The staff were extremely helpful and provided paper and crayons for the kids while we waited which was a lifesaver when hungry kids are involved

We had the pre-theatre menu and it was LOVELY! I couldn't get over how reasonable it was for the quality of food. We were really well looked after by the staff and it's been a long time since I can honestly say there was nothing I could fault about the food, the venue or the service in this restaurant. Keep...

My wife and I had dinner one evening here. The first thing that struck me was the lack of availability and poor seating arrangements. Most tables are arranged that when you are sitting at them you are facing other customers which are situated very close. Such was that when I was chatting to my wife I nearly had to whisper... More

This is a great place. The food is absolutely fabulous - I had the chef's portobello mushroom soup with goat's cheese (?) (yes, I know but it worked), followed by the vegetable linguini, with leek sauce and parmesan and I even managed the most gorgeous meringue/fruit/ice cream dessert. Can't wait to go back. One fabulous place.

Ate here twice during a short stay in Ballina. Food in the bar was really good. Service was a little slow but it was mid week and not many on. Food however was excellent, If I am ever in Ballina again I would definetly return.
