    Gorgeously decked-out for the holidays. Curious that the food was delivered in under 5 minutes (before drinks) but we all enjoyed our meals. Here is where I am baffled. A massive spirits list was offered. Amongst other categories- heavy on whiskey of course- dozens of gins available. I request a dry martini with a local gin of the bartender’s choice. Am told that their drink offering is limited to the half-dozen specials listed. Period. I must not be communicating well with the waiter, I must be missing something, so I go to the bar. Three bartenders rocking back there, measuring, muddling, shaking…egg white foams, bitters, the whole thing…including a full selection of Vermouths on display. I ask for same dry martini with interesting local gin, bartender calls a manager over. She stingingly says “oh, you must be an American. You won’t find martinis in Dublin.” OK then? I order a “French Martini” from the specials menu- this is Vodka, Chambord and Pineapple juice (?) A quick Google search shows dozens of cocktail bars in Dublin apparently famous for martinis. I can’t get over this. If the Gin list isn’t for call brands, is it only for neat consumption? Was I out of line? Someone please explain?

    We had crispy chicken and fries then for dessert we had cake and cappuccino. The ambiance was warm, the fries and chicken was the best. The staff, very cordial and professional. I highly recommend and would be visiting again.

    My husband really enjoyed his food i was disappointed as some of my wings were stone cold which I found very strange as the rest were lovely and hot. I was also disappointed with the chicken pot pie I had it before and was alot nicer and flavour was nicer. This time I found it was bland I actually had to use salt on my dinner and I never use salt and found the sauce was very thick compared to before. Recipe could of been changed from last time I had it. It wouldn't stop me from eating there again as I do normally really enjoy my food.

    Fun location. Reservations recommended as it gets busy. Live entertainment starts at 8:30p. Food was good. Service was so-so. In fact, it was the only downside of the experience. We asked a wait person who was the person that seated us for a drink menu and he said no, they don’t have any. We asked the person who took our order and he promptly brought us a drink menu.
