                                                Really good food. Nice new addition to the area. Service was a little slow but they are probably ironing out teething issues. Scotch egg was immense. Meatballs were amazing.

While we’re glad you appreciated our Meatballs or the Scotch Egg, we’re sorry if the service fell short. We hope to welcome you back and provide the excellent service we strive for.

                                                Had a lovely dinner and fantastic cocktails. Such a neighbourhood gem. The lasagne and the mussels are outstanding. The focaccia and chicken butter are sensational and pack such a good flavour and texture combo. My favorite was definitely the beetroot with the lovely and fresh yogurt. Such a good vegetarian dish, so so versatile from the ever so boring and limited options in Dublin. Truly something different and special. This was our second visit and we can’t wait to come back, thanks for looking after us Niamh! ♥️

                                                Really nice makeover done in the restaurant area. Good wine list and the food is very good. Pretty noisy as it's Christmas week and a bit of spill over from the pub but I think that was just the night that was in it. Excellent value for money considering the quality of the food. A great addition to the area.

Service was really on point and the room is beautiful. The mussels are a must, don’t sleep on them! Will be back next week to get through the rest of the menu.

                                                Hi Leah, Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had a great night and enjoyed your meal. We really appreciate you bringing up the point about the oysters. It’s great to know that you enjoyed them initially, but we completely understand how the melted butter solidifying could become an issue for some diners. We’ll certainly take this into consideration as we continuously refine our dishes and presentation. Thank you again for your thoughtful input—it helps us ensure an even better experience for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another lovely evening! Warm Regards, Joao Restaurant Manager
