Was a pleasure to visit this new restaurant. The staff were very friendly and attentive. There is a great selection of food on the menu. I had the calamari and lasagna-both were amazing and so fresh. Perfect portion size too. Then tiramisu for dessert- is one of the best I have ever had. Lovely atmosphere and decor and I look forward to returning to the restaurant to try all the other delicious options.

Stumbled across this restaurant while waiting for the tide to come in for a swim at Vico Baths. Wow … the food was absolutely fantastic, staff were so keen to please & can I mention the toilets that were so so clean & fresh.

They very kindly gave us a un reserved table during the Lobster Festival, as it was so busy on the streets. The staff are friendly, competent and very sweet. The food was absolutely excellent, the nicest homemade lobster pasta and sea bass dishes and really good choice of wines by the glass both red and white. Had a gorgeous cheese board to finish up. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal, we will definitely be back x

My second time here & I don’t live locally. It’s just top class. Hard to find highlights & picking a dessert is some feat as I’m not always a dessert person - homemade meringue is the winner (but everything is homemade was the reply)

We had the pleasure of getting a table outside during the dalkey lobster festival. It was raining but the staff made us comfortable with blankets and covers and heaters . Ended up staying all night. Great food and cocktails, we had lobster Thermidor which was amazing and only 38 euro. Will be back very soon .
