We came here for a late night dinner on a Monday evening! Our server was so nice and incredibly attentive. We had the sourdough and prawns to start, both of which were fantastic. For my meal, I had the shepherds pie which was the best thing I’d had all day. The perfect balance of childhood nostalgia and authentic Irish cuisine, but still upscale and plated beautifully. Really really delicious. Would absolutely come back and order the shepherds pie again!

We had a really nice meal. The wings were delicious and both the slow braised short rib as well as the haddock fish cake mains were gorgeous as well. Good size portions, coupled with good quality ingredients, we will be back.
