Quality of prawns shocking, oil with chilli's and garlic undercooked. My favorite chicken wings have really gone down in quality. Overall ambience very nice but you really do need to get a new head chef. Who ever gives out food like this should not be working in the kitchen.

                                                                I had an excellent experience with the chicken wings here. The portion was perfect for the €19.50 price, and each bite was bursting with deep Louisiana flavor. The potato bravas were spot on—crispy with a delicious garlic and cheese sauce on top, though they surprisingly came without the usual tomato sauce. The blue cheese dip was fantastic, with a great balance of strong flavor and light sauce. The onion rings, beer-battered and €6, were decent but didn’t quite stand out. Still, overall, it was a solid experience. Definitely worth the 40-minute drive—9/10, and I’ll be back!
