Really friendly and helpful server. She offered suggestions and answered questions. Tasty food on small sharing plates. Really liked the arancini and leeks and dumplings and sweet potato hummus. Chips were good, but would be better with a fun sauce like the other dishes have. Many drink options for cocktails and wine.

Delicious food, beautifully cooked and presented very well. We had dinner and found the staff very knowledgeable about the menu and confident in recommending a good wine pairing. The choice of complimentary still or sparking water is a nice touch that other restaurants could learn from. The bavette with pavé potato was perfectly cooked and had a delicious crust. Ceviche was very fresh although would have been nicer if the fish was thinly sliced rather than diced and the chilli could have been toned down a notch or two for my liking. Service overall was unobtrusive, efficient and considered. The view out to the working dock was interesting and added to the bustling atmosphere. I felt more attention is needed to table presentation however. Either the wood needs to be spotless with no off putting paw marks or stickiness or table clothes or nice place mats should be used. Overall impression was good and we felt it was good value for the standard of food served.

Food, service, wine list all spectacular.

Dropped in for lunch on a Saturday without a reservation. Tables were all booked up, but we were able to be seated at the bar. It was lovely and the lads at the bar were all good craic. We had the seabass, the mushroom & farro pie, and the fried chicken with bibimbap-style accompaniments. All were delicious. We didn't get any special drinks, but there was complimentary sparkling water which was also very good. Note: the menu posted online is just an example and was substantially different from the menu of the day. This is because the dishes change frequently to use fresh fish and seasonal produce. They were happy to explain all the options and ingredients and made some small adjustments to suit particular tastes.

Very cool atmosphere, and very friendly service. The food presented beautifully, though not very tasty nor generous, while pricey. Great wine and cocktails.

A very enjoyable evening wonderful flavoursome food and great wines

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Different spin on combined flavors. Step out of your daily palate explore something distinct.

Went for lunch and was blown away by the experience. I had honey butter fried chicken and the chips and it was fantastic. We both had the chocolate mousse and blood orange sorbet for dessert and it was so well balanced. Service and location are great. It’s expensive compared to an average lunch spot but it’s so worth it, would absolutely go again soon!

beyond flawless. The best bloody mary and bowl of chowder I have ever had! The dining room is stunning with a view over the bay. The only thing that rivals the food is the genuine warmth of the whole Front of House team. Can not wait to come back

Food was incredible! Judging by the photos the portions defintley got a lot smaller over the year but we didn’t find it a problem! Staff was so friendly! Loved the vibe nice dim lighting
