    We had a table (booth) just for us two which was lovely. My husband sat on the outside which he got a bit annoyed as people kept opening the door and a little draught came in. This didn’t spoil his enjoyment of the meal and service. Starters - he had beef croquettes and I had Gambas which I’d never had. 5 prawns in a chilli oil with sourdough bread. I think you are supposed to pick them up but I used my cutlery. Lovely. Mains - husband had 7oz Beef which he said was delicious and filling. I had Rotisserie Chicken with rice. I’m not mad about rice but this was delicious that I liked it more than the chicken which comes with gravy. Chicken was oh so tender and too big a portion for me to finish. Deserts - I had lemon tart, meringue and raspberry sorbet which cleaned my palate nicely. Husband had choux bun which comes with pistachio ice cream that they changed to vanilla and jug of chocolate sauce. He’s not a lover of nutty ice cream. 2 bottles of still water and 2 bottles of Malbec. Total €207 which we rounded to €220. Service was excellent. All staff smiling and well presented. I liked how the restaurant was separate from the pub. I’d definitely return.

    If you want to drink with your friends in a nice place I think it’s perfect. But if you want to have dinner I believe the prices are a little bit too high. It was 22.50 euros for a burger and chips.

    Not a lot of options for someone who is Coeliac and lactose intolerant. Personally didn’t love the vibe it felt cheesy with the decor.

    Overall good experience but it did take over half an hour to be acknowledged by the waiters at our table after multiple attempt to get their attention. Service just wasn’t the most attentive
