This is a great alternative to the formal dinner option if you are meeting friends and don't fancy a full meal. It has a lovely atmosphere and there is always a friendly service. They have some good beers and a decent wine selection and a nice mix of tapas options that are reasonably priced. More

Having eaten in this restaurant last night I just had to write a review on how great it was. We had six dishes and each was wonderful. The service was friendly and quick. Will be back here again soon More

We stopped in after finding it listed on TA. We of course didn't have reservations as we had been in Kilkenny earlier in the day and then travelled onto Rock of Cashel and were unsure if evening plans. The owner/manager fit us in at the bar, which while not ideal for a conversation in a group, it turned out to... More

Great for groups but the wine is not the best for what they charge, food is average and service pretty much a gamble. But the place has a great atmosphere and is worth a visit. More

Cool atmosphere but the food was just ok. The salads and vegetables were tasty but the meat and desserts weren't amazing. I'd go again but probably try else where first. More
