    Really nice Christmas Eve lunch, 4 adults one toddler. Warm welcome, children’s menu offered for toddler. All tasty, nicely served. Good quality excellent, except perhaps the fish. I thought it didn’t look white enough for a white fish. It wasn’t my meal but I was glad it wasn’t my choice. Portion sizes perfect. Porchetta was lovely, deserts were really nice. A very welcoming relaxing ambience with lovely staff. Would recommend and will visit again!

    Just enjoyed an early dinner at Mermaid in Monkstown village. Pleasantly surprising how cosy it was on a damp dark October evening. Excellent food and chilled relaxing atmosphere. We’ll be back!
