13 of us went to have a family dinner to remember my brother who died earlier in the year. The service was efficient and friendly. The room cool to the point of uncomfortable. The food very poor and overpriced. My started salmon pretty basic and uninteresting. Breads were nice but had to keep asking for more butter. Lamb for main was just okay sauce and gravy not nice, mustard grained mashed potato not nice and unseasoned. Strawberry pavlova was actually meringue not pavlova, the cream appeared not to be real cream far too sweet, a scattering of strawberries. All very disappointing for circa €70 a head. I would not recommend at all and won’t be returning

3 of us had an early dinner here. We shared the antipasto for 2 starter There was plenty for the 3 of us. I had the monkfish pasta of the day main. It was lovely. The catch of the day was very nice but bit expensive at 26.50. A shared ice cream and a latte to finish. Service was very good.

6 of us ate here recently (Including 2 children). Everything about it was good. We all felt safe. Vaccination certs and identification was checked. The restaurant was spotlessly clean. The food was excellent and good value. Our waitress was very efficient. We will return

A brilliant evening, great value for a tasting menu, every course was delicious and the interaction with the murder mystery theme was just right. Would definitely recommend.

A bit disappointed, lacked good service and atmosphere / vibe was not there. Most expensive meal we had, yet most dissatisfied, even though we had no expectations.

A bit messy with the service, very small portions for the price, and seems like nothing that is in the menu is actually available. Mezze maniche was served instead of trofie, grilled octopus was proposed instead of fried halibut…and on. Food is ok though

A limited menu & in a touristy area, La Caverna provided a hearty meal, though we weren't sure the value was there.

10/10! Nice when you’ve heard good things about a restaurant and it exceeds expectations. Lovely place, quite small so I’d recommend making a reservation. New lunch menu is incredible value for the standard of food and service. The waiter/manager was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. I can recommend the chicken & scallops, the hake with mussels and the salted caramel tart with vanilla ice cream. Divine. Looking forward to visiting again soon! Another visit in January 2025. So good again! The staff are really welcoming, kind & accommodating to solo diners, which is must appreciated! I had the Halibut for mains & Sticky Toffee Pudding to follow - both delicious. The spuds with truffle dip should be illegal, they are so good! And I have never tasted carrots like the Orwell Road carrots. Thank you for a lovely evening!

10/10. We stumbled upon it by chance and ate the best meat of our lives. We recommend it to everyone with a clear conscience. Unforgettable culinary experience. Very professional service, pleasant decor, it wasn't loud. Dishes completely worth their price.

An escape game unlike the ones I made I was expecting seeing the price has a higher level and there disappointment ,even if in the end we are explained the way to proceed. I felt more like a puppet who is dictated what to do than has reflection.The place is well decorated , the ideas are good but I think the puzzles deserve to be developed in order to let the players play...I do not recommend it.

It was a very good experience, perfect scenery and atmosphere, no complaints. The butler (William) was very good at acting. Nevertheless, we found the payment system a bit complicated, everything is done on a terminal and not with a person. So for those who wanted to pay differently, it was not possible because the door only opened once the full amount was paid.

Visited last Saturday night for a girls night out. We went into the front part and waited a good 15 minutes for 2 drinks when it wasn't very busy. We stood at the bar and over heard another customer giving out to the bar man about waiting for 15 mins for a tonic that someone was getting for him,he was livid. We got a seat for 4 and ordered a bottle of prosecco and it was brought to the table and the waiter promptly left without opening it,it wasn't a screw top it was a cork. I called another waiter over to open it which they did. Once opened it was warm ,we had to request more ice in order to drink the €50 bottle of prosecco. Will never go back service is terrible this is the second time being here and the service was terrible the first time too. Expect better for the prices.

A good discovery. The ground floor is only the bar area. If you want to eat you have to go upstairs and don't hesitate! The food is very good, the dishes are homemade. You will leave full! And the prices are affordable. Go for it!
