    Really good. We were not there for months because quality went down for a bit but this time was really good. I hope they are back as used to be.

    I had a booking and arrived about half an hour early, so it was completely understandable that our table wasn’t ready yet. Our group went for a coffee and returned exactly at the reservation time. However, when we returned, there was still no outdoor table available. I believe our reserved table may have been given to another group, which I found quite unfair. We were a large group with children, and I had specifically booked outdoor seating a month in advance for that reason. I completely understand that arriving early meant our table wasn’t ready, but once we returned at the agreed reservation time I expected the table we had booked to be available (It could even have been a little later than our booked time, and I wouldn’t have minded). Unfortunately, this made the experience quite disappointing.

    Hi Renata, Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback, and I'm sorry the seating didn't meet expectations. Looking back at the booking, your table was seated 9 minutes after your reservation time - we were exceptionally busy that day and I do apologise for any wait. As you were a group of 10, we made the call to upgrade you to our large table inside rather than seating you at small tables pushed together outdoors. It was meant as a nicer option for a group your size, but I understand that wasn't what you expected. For this we are sincerely sorry. We'll take this on board for how we handle larger groups with preferred seating going forward. Thanks again for the feedback, and we'd love the chance to have you back. Warm regards, Grace

    Not great. Tables crammed into a very small space. Had chicken tinga tacos and they were cold. My partner enjoyed his burger. Staff were friendly but busy cleaning up around us and walking past with huge bag of rubbish. One staff member took a table beside us to sort out her cutlery and napkins. Loud chatter among the staff about the amount of bookings the following day. Customers don’t want to be listening to all this while having dinner. Won’t be back.

    AVOID!!! I had booked here for 7 people for Father's Day. Easy enough to do so. I was contacted 4 times in the week leading up to confirm attendance, a bit overkill , but understood with the day that was in it. When we arrived, the staff were so unfriendly. We had to stand in the courtyard on top of other customers while waiting to be brought to our table, waiting 15 minutes before someone took an order for us, despite being texted twice that morning to confirm attendance. The menu given to us didn't match the one online; the pricing on the menus also differed from what we were charged. Cappuccino on the online menu and in-store says €3.80, but we were charged €4.20. It was another 30 minutes before anyone came to take a food order. We had to get up and get our own refill on water as no one came at all during the meal, despite us being seated at the walkway. The entire place needs a good deep clean,carpets peeling away on the stairs to the toilets, a serious trip hazard on the way inside where the lip of the door is raised with no signage. Just very grotty. The food was a big letdown, especially for the prices. Not one person finished their meal.We had minimal interactions with staff and received no service throughout the entire meal — yet they were so quick to take payment. The irony was not lost on us; not one person had been so attentive during our time there. We were then hit with a 12% service charge on the bill , €20 . This is particularly annoying as given that their own online menu states that a tip for groups of 5 or more is optional. No mention was made of this charge at any point during our visit. To make matters worse, the bill was presented on a card machine with no printed receipt; one was only provided when we specifically requested it.Staff alone would make me never return. The male server was so rude and dismissive to my father when asked about sauce on chicken wing, eye rolling and shrugging, just no need. felt unwelcome from the second we arrived

    Kelly, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I'm genuinely sorry your experience was not up to par. None of what you've described reflects the standard we hold ourselves to, and I'll be addressing it all directly with the team. On the service charge: our online and in store menus states it's optional for groups of 5 or more, and as you were seven this was applied automatically but can be removed on request. To refund the €20 to your card please reach out to me directly. We recently updated our drinks prices due to rising costs and must of forgot to update OpenTable, my apologies. Thank you again for the honest feedback as it's helped flag some real gaps we need to address. I'm sorry we let you and your family down, and I hope you'll consider giving us another chance.
