Beautiful setting nestled away from a busy Temple Bar. We didn't have food, but from what we could see it looked lovely. The cocktails were extremely tasty and the staff were lovely, nothing was a hassle. The only problem we had was we didn't stay longer. Looking forward to next time!!

Food was unbelievable, service was exceptional, ambience was great. Only thing was we were seated in the bar area and it was very cold as every time the doors opened for people to come in and go a big whoosh of cold air would come in. Perhaps some overhead heaters at those bar tables would be handy for the winter months? But even still, excellent overall.

I did say to our waitress that both my husband and I were cold in the restaurant. I would have had another glass of wine and my husband a glass of red wine , but we decided not to as it was too chilly.
