I feel there should be more sides of different vegetables. Just seems to be peas and Brussels sprouts.. would love more options. Or side salad should be served with steaks

Booked a table for 3adults and 3 children - 14, 10 and 4 years old. This was recommended by the 14yr old and her social media addiction. Staff were friendly and very efficient. The resultant was tucked away on a cobblers street off temple bar and was cosy and classy. Food was delicious and it was actually nice not to pour over a menu - garlics bread for starters, chicken or steak for mains and profiteroles for desert is the set menu. Really glad we went and glad the social media addiction has a positive benefit - who knew!
