Sammi was a fantastic waitress, she was happy and enthusiastic, so much so that we thought she might own the place! She recommended the delicious fillet steak (it was the most expensive item on the menu at 25 euros, but worth it!) She also recommended a delicious bottle of red wine. Service was efficient and with a big smile. A bit of light background music, full tables and other happy staff made the whole place feel relaxed but a bit more upmarket than the Irish bars and other cafe type places around. A really lovely evening meal.

This is a good little place where they serve the best home made chips around. We had barbecue ribs and half a roast chicken. Both had great flavours and cooked to perfection. If you want a change from the tapas bars and restaurants cooking the same food this ideal. Nice ambient music and good decor. Not a massive menu but we would come back.
