    Blue cheese boxty was excellent. Appreciated the small-sized beer option. Two "nibbles" for 8 euros = good deal.

    I enjoyed the food and the location was great. The restaurant is located in the heart of Dublin (Temple Bar Square) and therefore easy to find. The inside was nice and rustic. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They were really fast- maybe even a bit too fast. We barely sat down and got asked what we want to drink almost immediately. As soon as we finished dinner they asked if we want any supper. But when we told them we need some more time they were very nice about it :)

    Food was great, portions could have been slightly larger. Otherwise staff were lovely and engaging. Beer flight was lovely and the location perfect to explore the area around. Would recommend going back!
