                                          We had dined here when traveling to Dublin a year ago, and were eager to return. Originally seated in a room next to a large party, our waiter quickly saw that we had difficulty hearing him, and he suggested that he see if a quieter table were available. He moved us to a lovely, quiet table in an alcove, and all was well. The food and wine were fabulous, and the staff could not have been nicer.

                                          This is a very fine restaurant, with a great attention to detail. The food is excellent and imaginatively presented. The wine list is very good, and the staff are a engaging mix of personalities. The decor is pleasant and the individual seating booths lend a very conspiratorial feel to the restaurant, it has a lot of charm.
