    We got the chateaubriand which was the nicest steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. Compared to Hawksmoor Fire and FXB this beats all of them. The service was quite good (very friendly waitress) I can’t wait to return and try the Sunday roast. Highly recommend this place

    Excellent service at our bar table- two fillet steaks cooked perfectly with delicious accompanying sides. The tender stem broccoli and hazelnuts was a favourite. Two well made cocktails pre dinner with bread and olive oil. Barman allowed us to sample wine before choosing- everything was great and that’s why we keep coming back. Definitely deserves the recent accolade of ‘5th best steak in Europe’!

    This hidden gem in Dublin is marvelous. Friendly, fast, and professional service, perfectly mixed cocktails, and artistically presented dishes surpassed in beauty only by flavor! From the fresh bread with olive oil and coarse salt to the tender and tasty Gambas and the perfectly seasoned, perfect "doneness" and delicious steaks this restaurant is not to be missed. And the wine list is extensive and interesting.

    Second time for Sunday lunch at this fabulous neighbourhood restaurant. Terrific jalapeno margarita kickstarted an excellent 2.25 hours here. The corn fed chicken so juicy - don't know how they do it, and all the trimmings excellent. Great wine list to boot. Best of all was the service - Emmett and the wonderful Grainne. Personal, attentive, efficient and welcoming - we rolled out of the restaurant and off to the airport very well fed and watered. An excellent end to our Dublin weekend and we will 100% be back (if they will have us!)
