We were a party of 7, 4 adults and 3 young boys. We had an amazing time m. The boys (who are quite fussy eaters) ate everything! The food was exceptional, would highly recommend. The waiting staff were all meticulously mannerly and checked just enough that everything was to our satisfaction.

Our dinner was a joy from beginning to end. The food and wine were sensational but what you can’t get elsewhere is the atmosphere. I put this down to an exceptional staff led by the charismatic and intuitive Zelda. Wow she MAKES the place- loved by all, she is a total pro. Thrilled with the return of this Dublin institution.
