I visited this place for the first time with a friend. I enjoyed the wine and the atmosephere. I was dissapointed with the food. It wasn't bad , but I thought that as tappas are small portions and expensive that they would be so tasty. I found one staff member (thai)vv nice and friendly. However, the other member of staff...

We ate here as a family, but because we hadn't booked a couple of days in advance we were seated facing the wall, as a party of 4, which reduced the overall enjoyment. The place was absolutely jammed solid for the entire evening, which created a great buzz however. The food is lovely with a great variety of Tapas, some... More

This was a welcome change after days of Guiness and meat. Great selection of wine from around the world and delicious Tapas. Staff was courteous and knowledgeable. It was packed the entire time we were there. Highly recommended if you need a break from standard Irish fare. More

Had heard a lot about this place but I have to say I was underwhelmed. The bar itself is very nice, with simple decor and relaxing lighting. However the sharing platter we received left a lot to be desired. Some items were delicious, like the quails eggs but some seemed like they weren't the freshest. The calamari we ordered seperately...

I enjoyed my food, drink and whole experience here. Its a very quirky romantic tapas bar. Very casual dinning. I loved every minute and would return again. I had qual eggs and black puddin, Goats cheese with bread and chickpea with bacon. Food was fantastic. I drank alot of their cocktails, very pricey but delish!. More
