   Food was amazing. I’d recommend booking a table since it was very busy.

   99% of my visits are to eat some chicken wings and Toffee pudding. Unfortunately this time, the chicken came raw and a bit cold. Not many wings on it, although the sauce was good as usual. The pudding was super dry and tasteless. (Definitely not from the same day) Service was outstanding, even offering some free drinks on the house.

   Brilliant service despite being very busy with tourists as it's St.Patricks weekend, food & cocktails were lovely as always & no rush/pressure to leave.

   Great time - all good but realised half way through my dish it was the wrong dish (very similar though to what I ordered). Great staff and very enjoyable overall.

   The hostess in the entrance was extremely impolite… But the Wings the best in Dublin.

    Friendly and accommodating staff, nice ambiance. We had burger and fries which was mediocre. Wings were reasonably tasty, but not as legendary as they used be, or as plentiful unfortunately. We used to like coming here as a special treat, but it has lost it’s appeal for us as of the last two visits.
