    Every dish was completely nailed-on. Utterly delicious, adventurous and classy cooking, served by stylish, knowledgable, engaging and engaged staff. Cracking wine list - whites served from magnums?! Wonderful! I had heard from friends and colleagues that this was going to be good, and what had promised to be excellent was over-delivered on at every point. A seriously enjoyable and enjoyably serious experience!

    Small space with great ambiance - right away feels like the sort of place that is well run and that pays attention to details. The food and drinks menus are both relatively small, and evidently carefully curated - offering a great selection without over complicating things. The staff were lovely, accommodating and friendly - I was lucky to be seated at the kitchen bar and watched the plates being put together. Everything is organised, calm but highly efficient - and the results are absolutely delicious! I hope to be able to return on a future visit to Dublin
