A number of issues with the order ranging from only being told options were not available well after the order was placed, orders being delivered to different table and then being told there was none left and orders not being delivered at all. The food was ok but not worth travelling from outside Malahide to experience.

It is a hard restaurant to find but we did eventually. The food was average, very salty potatoes. The way the menu is written also was not straightforward. It is a very dark restaurant but a good buzz to it
