The cafe is beautifully decorated and has an expensive look about it.
We were seated towards the back of the cafe, at a table in the centre of the floor, underneath a tv showing the rugby match. The front area is much nicer. Service was efficient,but not really friendly. I had a crab roll served with chips, priced at 16 Euros,which was reasonable for Dublin. The roll was very small with not a lot of filing, and no bit of greenery to decorate it. A handful of chips came with it, served in a tiny bowl. My daughter has a salad at a price of 18 Euros. She added some chicken, which pushed the price up to 23 Euros. Although it was nice, that is very pricy. Desert at 9 euro was beautifully presented, accompanied by tea at 3.60 which was reasonable.
While we enjoyed it, it was not over-whelming. I prefer The Ivy. My main gripe was the cost of a glass of house Sauvignon Blanc at 12 euros. I honestly did not notice the price when I ordered it. Other whites were priced at 9-9.50. Because of this we decided not to leave a tip.
