3.5 / 5 Fair prices, decent portions (could be cheaper though, if they wish to be competitive). Coffee is good, and so was the pastry. But the Eggs Benedict was overcooked with mediocre sauce. Pleasant, quick service. Nice interior design and comfy chairs, but acoustics aren't great (e.g nearby table felt too loud).

A bit dirty in the dining area. Self serving and so small tables. The plates are plastic and not ideal for eating in. Overall the food was nice and well seasoned.

Abysmal. Booked in advance and pre-advised it was for a birthday meal. Arrived on time to be advised our table had been given to someone else. So were sat at a tall, poser table in the bar. Then advised we could only order bar bites because of the table location. Terrible service throughout. Ordered drinks as the mains arrived and still didn’t receive them by the time we were leaving 30 mins later. Despite that the drinks were on the bill. Pizza included raw garlic and human hair! Worst dinner experience of the past 10 years!!

3.5 / 5 Delicious food but the dishes are too small to my liking. Value for money is not great. Paying €56 for three courses and at the end being a bit peckish, makes you wonder... Service was fine except advice about wine. They seem not familiar with basic topics. The atmosphere inside is great, but the entrance to the restaurant looks a bit dodgy.

10 out of 10 for everything, the staff went above and beyond for us. The food was amazing, best Italian food we have had in years! The atmosphere was so romantic and cosy, we can't wait to come back again. Thank you

Absolutely awful the ladies toilets are filthy and right beside the kitchen and I paid the bill and asked for a large Sambucca for my husband and paid for a large shot and he never received it and then the manager proceeded to argue with us in front of other people. Avoid! This restaurant has gone down hill and the staff genuinely don't care about there customers! I actually took pictures of the toilets they were so bad but would be sickening for anyone to see here! Definitely avoid this Restaurant! I only spoke to the owner who said she would come back to me but never did. This speaks volumes! Food: 3/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5

10/10 Food was exceptional and atmosphere was so nice it was dimly lit and laid out like proper Italian restaurant. A real gem of a place. Food is top quality and there was a lovely happy buzz in the air from all the happy customers! Couldn’t fault the service either! Very pleasant staff

11 of us had dinner on Saturday evening for a family birthday. I cannot praise the staff, the food and the atmosphere enough. Páraic looked after us so well without being overbearing. The food was superb and we would be fussy about quality and everyone of us had a great experience. Highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back

Me and 5 of my friends were really excited to go to this place after booking a reservation. However, on the door we were denied entry by Kevin and got told our reservation is going to get cancelled. The reason being was one of my friends rocking up with a can of cider that she was just about to finish before entering the venue. When discussing the situation Kevin was rude and commented that some of us looked drunk. I personally find that very disappointing to assume since all of us could speak and walk just fine. No one gave any signs of being drunk so I am not sure where he came up with that conclusion. All we were trying to do is have a nice meal and drink after sightseeing in Dublin. Since it was St’Patricks week, I am sure we weren’t the only ones enjoying a drink while strolling through Dublin and not the only ones he turned away, hope Kevin is happy to contribute to other restaurants making profit but the one he is working at. We went to The Old Mill afterwards and we 100% recommend!!

Nice enough atmosphere. Average steak for the price. The server automatically put a tip on the bill. When questioned about this, I was told I could remove it, but it is restaurant policy to put in on without asking. This is essentially theft for those that don't question it.
