3 years waiting to try this place after all the hype. Food was lovely but unfortunately service was super slow and very very basic. We had to ask for menus, to order, had to get their attention for more wine and for dessert. I would expect a bit more for a place with 12 tables and 3 waiters really. Loved the food but doubt we will be back.
40 minutes wait for 2 burnt-tasting burgers, terrible place, never to return again, at least the Asian waitress was friendly and did a very good job
Excellent food and service
Good food
Great food
106Eur for a bottle of wine (60Eur), ravioli and spezzatino! Thanks but never again! This is not traditional Italian food and the place look really bad!
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 couples booked in for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Arrived at 3.15. Started served promptly. Main course served at 5pm, over an hour after starter !!! Requested to speak with a manager when waiting as food was so delayed we were considering getting bill & leaving. Despite 3 requests, no manager came to us. Food eventually arrived. No acknowledgment or apology for delay.
10/10 as usual 🩷 Staff are so friendly Food is excellent Prices are amazing for location as it’s in temple bar Service is brilliant
10/10 experience! The ambiance is unmatched. It is cool, relaxed, modern, yet comforting all at the same time! The dishes were nostalgic, delicious, cozy, and fresh! I got the sea bass which was fantastic! Also, what made the experience top notch was our lovely waiter, Edward! He really made our experience special.
Representative review excerpts add operational context to the topic signals.
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.

Had an incredible experience sitting at the bar - good food, best Irish coffee of my life and wonderful suggestions from the bartender on whiskeys to try. Had a great, local crowd - we got to sing happy birthday with the whole place for an 80th celebration. Cannot recommend more emphatically.

Too bad for the service and the wines, because the food is great (super lamb roasts, super meat). They got lost in a glass of water (which costs more than wine)

We celebrated our 65th wedding anniversary with our family. We had a wonderful evening and the food was amazing. Every dish delicious. Looking forward to going there again. The staff exceedingly good.
