Great food and cocktails. Food was delicious and came out really quick, not much waiting between courses. Cocktails were interesting, some ones I hadn't seen before, the avocado, ice tea and dill ones were tasty. Service was fantastic, really nice and friendly staff. I had noted it was for a birthday in the booking and when my partner was away from the table they checked with me it was a birthday and gave us a candle in the dessert and a glass of limencello. Very nice of them, totally unprompted and stuff like this really adds to experience. Would recommend this place to anyone.

We had a table for four in the basement of the restaurant. The food was excellent, from a simple and very tasty pasta dish to more sophisticated fare. Staff were friendly and efficient. Cost for three starters , four mains and a bottle of wine was €56 each including tip.
