   Went here twice on recent trip to Dublin. Very open concept with views of kitchen. Attentive and friendly staff.

   Four of us were dining. I ordered the Mediterranean pizza on a gf base and was informed they had run out of gf bases, so I ordered something else. My mother ordered the fish and chips but it would be more accurate to call it batter and chips for the amount of fish she got. My sister never received her main course and no one came to our table while we ate. We tried to catch staff’s attention to no avail. By the time someone noticed the rest of us had finished eating and my sister did not want to there eating with everyone watching her. We were offered the meal in a doggy bag but she did not want reheated food. We were also offered desert to take away but had to catch a train and did not want to wait any longer. We were asked what could the staff do for us which is very well but really they should be able to tell us what they were going to do. They took my sister’s meal off the bill and “some” of the drinks, still charging for a pint of Guinness. However they had left my cancelled Mediterranean pizza on the bill, which I had to point out to them. Staff were very apologetic but considering that the bill for a starter, three main courses and a Guinness came to €105, this simply wasn’t good enough. This was a birthday outing and rather spoiled the occasion. Next time we’ll go to the Wetherspoon’s two doors down.

   The service was brilliant and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was of excellent quality - really well done. Our table had really good things to say about the fish and chips in particular. I had the 6oz steak, asked for medium but it came well done. I fear this is an Irish thing to cook well done despite the order, but a steak can always be cooked more, not less. As we had a show to go to, I didn't think there was time to say it. As a well done steak though, it was good. The seating was comfortable, lighting perfect and noise level about right. Not too loud or quiet. The pricing was about right for the area.

   The food was lovely, calamari,cheese burger and beef tacos shared between two of us. Our first waiter was great, drinks and food ordered soon after we were seated but after that it went downhill, food was dropped to the table, not asked if we needed drinks, finished our food and first drink but no one checked on us at all, empty plated and glasses not cleared. After some time I went to the bar myself to order more drinks, it was not overly busy so I feel as though we were forgotten, not we did try to flag a waitressa few times. Good food but was let down by service.

   When our food arrived it was cold. We brought this to the attention of our waitress who got this sorted. When we paid our bill in cash instead of giving us change 20 was kept as a tip. We did not intend on giving that much.

    Staff were lovely, cocktails were fab. But starters way over priced for their size. The prices would be more fitting for sharing plates, but the portions did not match.
