The atmosphere is cosy, with excellent service that makes you feel at home and tasty food served professionally. Thank you a great service. I recommend this place guys!
The menu offers a LOT of dishes. Perhaps too many choices. Price for mains varies from circa €20 to €40 for fillet steak.
Given the price of the food, my expectations were very high. For starter I had scallops. These were cooked to perfection. For main I had fillet steak. I requested it be rare and it also was cooked to perfection (most Irish establishments tend to serve a rare steak as medium). However the quality of the steak itself was very poor. It was very chewy and surprisingly tasteless. I was completely disappointed in this dish. It came with mash, quarter of a parsnip and quarter of a carrot. Certainly not worth the price. Someone with me had spaghetti carbonara and complained to me that it didn't taste very nice. I tried it and agreed that it eas the most bland version I have tasted.
Someone else had monkfish and this was apparently lovely.
The service was fine although we didn't appreciate how pushy they were with trying to get us to buy another bottle of wine after we had finished dessert. When we said no they suggested we buy one to take away. At €34 for what I would describe as a supermarket cabernet sauvignon this was too pushy for my liking. Finally, beware that a 10% fee will be added to groups of over 6. This was not mentioned to us however it is written on the menu. Sadly we were not aware of this when we gave them a tip.
Amazing place! My family and I went twice on our 4-day stay around Maynooth. Every dish was great, and the service was amazing (so was the ambiance, especially Saturday night). Definitely would recommend to everyone, as their menu is diverse.
Dined here Saturday 26th April by chance, we were lucky with our choice.
3 of us, dinner menu , 2 course .
Staff were excellent, professional and courteous ( unfortunately missing a lot these days) .
All I can say starters and mains were excellent, flavour, presentation as good as it gets.
Would highly recommend and we will be back.
