13/01/2025: "Disappointing Experience – Bland Food, Overpriced, and Poor Service" We visited this restaurant with high hopes for a nice family meal, but unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. There were four of us, and we ordered a variety of dishes to get a good sense of what the menu had to offer. We started with the Goat's Cheese Mousse Salad, Pâté, Arancini Balls, and Chicken Salad. All were incredibly plain, overpriced, and lacked any real flavour. For starters, these dishes could have been served at any budget restaurant, but here they were marked up far beyond what they were worth. For the main course, we went with the Duck (€40), Lamb (€40), and Dover Sole. The Duck was dry, bland, and came with just a few baby carrots and flavorless potatoes. The Lamb was overcooked and equally tasteless. The Dover Sole was completely dry and lacked any seasoning or richness. What really left us feeling deceived, however, was the price. We would have been disappointed with the food even at a lower price point, but when you’re paying €100 per person, it’s simply not acceptable. To make matters worse, the service was lacking—staff didn’t even bother to serve our wine, and our Calypso Coffee arrived cold. The only redeeming feature of the evening was the Margarita cocktail, which was actually quite nice. We will definitely not be returning. When you're paying premium prices, you expect premium food and service, and this restaurant failed to deliver on both.

13/01/2025: Experiencia Decepcionante – Comida Sosa, Sobreprecio y Mal Servicio" Visitamos este restaurante con grandes esperanzas de una buena comida familiar, pero por desgracia, no estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. Éramos cuatro, y pedimos una variedad de platos para tener una buena idea de lo que el menú tenía para ofrecer. Empezamos con la ensalada de mousse de queso de cabra, paté, bolas de arancini y ensalada de pollo. Todos eran increíblemente simples, caros y carecían de sabor real. Para empezar, estos platos podrían haberse servido en cualquier restaurante económico, pero aquí se marcaron mucho más allá de lo que valían. Para el plato principal, fuimos con el Pato (40€ ) , Cordero (40€ ) , y Dover Sole. El pato estaba seco, soso, y venía con solo unas pocas zanahorias bebé y patatas sin sabor. El Cordero estaba demasiado cocido e igualmente insípido. La suela Dover estaba bien, un poco seca y carecía de cualquier condimento o riqueza. Lo que realmente nos dejó sintiéndonos engañados, sin embargo, fue el precio. Nos habría decepcionado la comida incluso a un precio más bajo, pero cuando pagas 100 € por persona, simplemente no es aceptable. Para empeorar las cosas, el servicio era deficiente: el personal ni siquiera se molestó en servir nuestro vino y nuestro café Calipso llegó frío. La única característica redentora de la noche fue el cóctel Margarita, que en realidad era bastante agradable. Definitivamente no volveremos. Cuando pagas precios premium, esperas comida y servicio premium, y este restaurante no cumplió con ambos. - -

20/03/2025: Very good food. Good old fashion chipper. Really good menu.

11/03/2025: Terminó tirando todo lo que no fuera batido en el cubo. La salsa de curry parecía que había sido regurgitada. El conductor no tenía ni idea de dónde ir y tuvimos que ir a buscarlo. No malgastes tu dinero. Debería haber leído las críticas anteriores diciendo lo mismo

22/03/2025: What a gem. Don’t leave Ireland without visiting this restaurant and bar. The food is exceptional and very well priced, served by welcoming and friendly staff. Just don’t ask for lobster - it has departed these shores for Atlantic Canada.

15/11/2024: Went in without a booking but we were served even though they were fully booked on the 2 evenings . Excellent food, excellent service, lovely environment lovely hard working helpful staff Thank you Irene & Dave
