31/03/2026: Food never disappoints here. Very attentive service. Generous complimentary after dinner drinks. Would recommend highly.

02/09/2025: Located in Cabinteely village, nice family pub, well run, friendly staff and spacious. Great place to meet friends for a drink at weekends

06/10/2025: Amazing food with Asian touch cooks.

20/09/2025: Got food without fork or knife, and the manager asked for the bill very rudely. Really disappointing experience.

21/11/2025: Any time we come in here lately for lunch or breakfast, I get mine relatively fast but my partner has been waiting 20minutes after I get mine. So I’m all done before hers comes out. What’s the point in having lunch together if it ends up we don’t have our lunch together, the place isn’t even that busy and other people that come in after us have gotten served before hers comes. If it was the odd time you would get over it but has become a regular occurrence so it’s disgrace really and we decided we won’t be coming here again.

12/10/2025: Good food and very good service.

25/08/2025: A very nice place directly at sea but unfortunately our food wasn't very good. The fries were soft and not salted enough, the burger was dry and it was only meat and cheese, no vegetables whatsoever, the pepper sauce for the steak was way to thick but the steak was decent, good meat and cooked just right. The staff was very nice!

17/01/2026: One of the best Spice boxes I've had.

30/11/2025: What a find!. Best test of a restaurant is to order vegetarian options,which I did. (Im a carnivore) They were beautifully prepared, full of flavour and very satisfying. Lovely wine list. Place was very busy but service was flawless. Enjoy

17/11/2025: We had planned this dinner for weeks and arrived dressed formally, hoping for a nice evening. One member of our group had more to drink than the rest, but the most dramatic moment from our side was him repeating a question during ordering. There were no raised voices, no comments directed at staff, and no disruption of any kind. It was simply a mildly tipsy lad trying to decide between mash or chips. Despite this, the staff seemed convinced we were about to stage a full-scale riot. Service became unusually tense very quickly, and the passive-aggressive highlight of the night was receiving a takeaway dessert box with an angry face drawn on it. Nothing says “fine dining” quite like a doodle that looks as though it was done by a bored child in a maths class. When we politely asked what the issue was, we received no explanation at all. We were given only vague references to “inappropriate behaviour,” although nobody seemed able to describe what that behaviour actually was. We left confused but ready to move on. I was not even going to leave a review. My friend had already shared his experience, and that was going to be the end of it. However, after reading the owner’s public response, which was full of sweeping accusations without specifics and included the particularly theatrical claim that our table “should have been asked to leave at the first instance of the behaviour,” I felt the need to clarify what actually happened. If that is truly what they believed, I genuinely wish they had said something at the time. We would have happily gone somewhere else and spared everyone whatever imaginary crisis they thought was unfolding. To clarify our experience: • No inappropriate comments were made. • No one spoke to staff disrespectfully. • No disturbance occurred at any point. • Staff raised absolutely no concern with us during the meal. • When we asked directly, no explanation was provided. • All accusations afterward were vague and unverifiable. If the restaurant genuinely believes something inappropriate occurred, they are welcome, at last, to specify exactly what it was. They did not do so on the night, and they have not done so since. The only inappropriate behaviour we witnessed came from the staff, not the guests. We will not be returning, and I sincerely hope the next group’s greatest offence is not asking the same question twice.

26/04/2026: Lovely chips.. the standout menu item. Place is a bit pricey.

14/12/2025: Lovely setting and great staff. Food was mediocre, fries way too greasy and the burger was cremated with an odd smoky flavour. Wings were amazing though.

06/12/2025: Place was crazy with people attending Christmas parties, but the lady wondered us was brilliant and made sure our experience was top notch. Food was very nice and would recommend
