    Amazing food, service and atmosphere as always. The children's entertainer on a Sunday is particularly great for the kids. We are regulars and love it!

    The food was excellent, as usual. However, during my last visit, the service was somewhat slow. Even after using the device to request a waiter, we waited quite a while to place our order.

    We booked this last minute after seeing many good reviews and videos of the place on social media. As soon as we walked in we loved it the atmosphere was amazing so energetic, the DJ was on the lights were going. We came for food and drinks, I had the nyc hot dogs with animal fries and my partner had the Cajun chicken and chorizo pasta dish. Both of these were amazing and the prices could not be faulted at all great value for money. I would recommend this place for anyone from a couples date night to a group night out. We Will definitely be returning next time we come to Dublin.

    We waiting awhile for out food, and I also had to keep asking for my sons milk shake and food. Everyone was eating and he kept asking where is food was. He was the bday boy. My brother in law and sister in law also had to ask numerous times where their food was, we had finished our food before their steaks arrived. I don't like to moan but the service was very messy even asking for our drinks 😒. The cost of the service charge is very high too. I always love eating here but I would be reluctant to return. I had organised the meal and family members were not impressed .
