There were 20 of us including eight children in a large family group, we were accommodated upstairs in a very comfortable area on a long table. It was 3pm on a Sunday, the place was busy but that did not impact our service. In fact the table service was excellent, the young waiter did everything he could to meet all... More

Great restaurant with a very extensive menu for lunch and dinner and also a wide choice for children. The quality of the food and presentation is 5 star. The staff are very professional and attentive. As far as I am concerned this place is a Must Dine In when ever I am in Cork. More

I cannot fault this place... My one complaint would be that they change/take dishes from the menu from time to time and I hate when my favourite dish is removed but saying that, they always replace the dishes with something new and exciting and the food here is always so tasty and delicious! The type of food that you are... More
