   The portions were generous. I went for dinner right after work and was seated right away.

   My favorite pub in the entire world! Chowder is outrageously good. Vibes are immaculate.

   My experience of this space (previously Solas) has always been that it gets too crowded and too loud to really enjoy. But last night we were seated upstairs (didn’t know it existed), and had a really fun evening. Food is excellent, if just a tad pricey for Irish pub food. Great drinks, attentive service, lovely atmosphere.

   The ambience was very nice and the service good. I food the food a little too fancy for a true Irish pub.

   We were very disappointed by the service as well as the cocktails. Their food was over priced and while we enjoyed the sliders, the rest of our meal was not very good. Our cocktails were actually undrinkable and we were still charged for them.

   Easy booking process and table was ready on arrival. Lovely welcome and confident service. Was little reticent about the change from Solas which I loved, but there was no need to worry. Service was great , new menu , missing a few of our favourites but also with some eclectic new additions. The pretzels and skins to start were delicious. Unusually we all ordered the same main, the dubliner toasties, small negative was all three toasties were completely different shades of toasting! Which I thought didn't look great. Generous filling and tasty soup. Loved the " scooped spoon fries. Personally found them far too salty especially paired with the ham.But each to their own. But still loved whole experience . It's Very Early days , give it a go its still a GREAT GIG. THANK YOU.

   Really enjoyed our first time dining here! Table was ready when we arrived early and the food was fantastic. Would suggest the ham and cheese toastie and definitely get the dessert! Great restaurant

    This was one of the worst experiences of my life. Service was awful. Do not go here. Will never go back and will be telling others never to go.
