17/07/2026: We came hear on wednesday to the bar/restaurant and choose to sit outside the place was lively as probably for the weather the staff were very nice checked in a good amount of times and were very helpful when choosing food and drinks I had the calamari to start and it was a very good portion if I do say so and then I had the mussels wich I usually never go for the mussels as alot of places have let me down but theese were fresh and the amount of them was amazing me and my husband had a good few each I couldn't recommend this place enough I would 100% come again

02/08/2026: We went on a Saturday night and the music was fantastic! Two young musicians from music school, a flautist and a guitarist/singer, played a mix of popular Irish music and traditional instrumental music. It was really good! And of course, a nice pint of Guinness went perfectly with it!

29/07/2026: Great music, very friendly, great craic

25/07/2026: Food and service was second to none.

25/07/2026: Tipping in Ireland is not like the U.S. (unless you eat here). First place in 4 trips to Ireland that “automatically add 10% gratuity” and unlike the states, where automatic gratuities are added when the party size is 6 or more people, this is added regardless of party size. I always tip when here anyway, so not a big deal, just never saw that anywhere but here. Food was wonderful, service good. Our first time here MANY years ago was to a bar… they have redone the place since and completely different vibe as mainly a restaurant with a tiny bar.

02/08/2026: Fantastic dinner in this restaurant. Fresh and delicious meals , great service. Highly recommended

30/07/2026: Ordered half a dozen of oyster, fish and chips and potato wedges. Everything was delicious.

25/04/2026: Great coffee, smashing sausage rolls and friendly service. Fab array of products. Will be back!

08/04/2026: Saw it in the Lonely Planet Travel Guide, delicious Toasties and lot‘s of local Food & Drinks, highly recommend

04/07/2026: What a lovely cafe .. friendly staff and the food was delicious (exquisite home made pastries and cakes. So glad we stopped in here

10/08/2026: Fabulous food, reasonably priced

02/08/2026: Very disappointing restaurant! A long hair was found in my main course and wasn't even replaced! A simpler approach would be preferable, and hygiene is definitely needed! Avoid this place!

12/08/2026: Had lunch there today 12/08/26. Food was absolutely superb, service was perfect, just the right amount of attention not pestering us as we ate. Couldn't recommend highly enough, great value especially by today's standards

11/08/2026: Great restaurant for fish lovers. Excellent service.

03/07/2026: €300 a night and they won’t even serve me a cup of coffee 15 minutes before their breakfast officially starts. But they did ask me to move to the lobby. Thanks I walked the whole city from 5:45am until 6:45am looking for a coffee.

18/05/2026: The staff here make your stay very special . They are so welcoming and accommodating. The rooms are very clean and the breakfasts have a large range. The smoked salmon, scrambled eggs & capers are delicious.

09/08/2025: Best BLT in the west of Ireland possibly?

03/08/2025: Very comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Quality staff. Wholesome home made food. Would highly recommend this restaurant/coffee shop
