    Booked for dinner with some friends and thought it was more of a Gastro pub. Was very pleasantly surprised - the food was excellent. Great menu choice and really high quality. Decor was lovely and overall restaurant was very comfortable with a nice atmosphere. Also liked that we could have dinner in the restaurant and then go downstairs for a drink afterwards, and the music was great in the bar.

    Wanted to try somewhere new and Old Fashioned Sam's popped up on OpenTable... Really loved it... Cocktails to start were amazing.. I had Wagyu Burger and my partner had black sole.. both delicious... but the service, ambience and cool vibe really made it.. will be back

    The menu was not the menu online -I had checked before I booked that it suited our budget and it did -when we got our table they gave us a different menu -which on average was €10 more expensive than advertised online plus this didn’t include sides which were around €7 each. I had planned on getting fish and chips at €22 but closest option on new menu was halibut at €34 And chips for €7 making it €41 almost double what was advertised online - I questioned the different menu but was told this was tonight’s menu ! For a new restaurant to be using a different menu already without any warning is disappointing . I had been on their instagram and was talking to them on the phone in advance and the new new menu wasn’t mentioned . We were so disappointed that we had to leave and will not be returning !

    Excellent. Great service and setting. I’d say this place will become more and more popular as time goes on. Ribs / halibut / sides all delicious

    We had a bad spot to be seated in, lacked ambiance…. friendly staff, but we waited an extremely long time for food we had to keep asking what the delay was! ( to begin with we were very patient) but an hour and a half was ridiculous!! the food came and was presented well, it was nice but tepid!! we spent a lot of money for a lack lustre evening. we ordered pornstar martini’s and had to ask more than once for the prosecco shots for them !

    When I booked the table I wasn’t made aware that it was a set menu and so limited… 3xstarters, 1x main course 3xsides and 2xdesserts for the princely sum of €120 for 2 excluding drinks!!! Robbery… we will not be back!!
