Coffee price extortionate

We went for lunch today. We were seated quickly outside and staff were all really lovely. Ordered 2 Americano coffees to start... 2 mouthfuls it was gone!! Smallest & meanest cup of coffee for €3.25 I've ever been served....plus it wasn't great coffee. My vege...nachos..... well lets say you could get as good ...better probably at the cinema!!! Yellow sauce pretending to be cheese and awful watery "ketchup like" salsa.... avoid!! Nachos are such a simple dish that can be so good..... im amazed they are served like that in a restarant! My friends chicken burger wasn't too bad but overpriced. Would I go back ... no. Its a pity as the staff are really great and the setting is pleasant right in the middle of a bustling city centre location.More

Don't get the vegetarian nachos!

Stopped by on Monday afternoon and got a table very quickly, had no idea their outdoor seating area was so big. Ordered drinks and vegetarian nachos to share. The nachos were incredibly poor. They appeared to have ketchup and a "cheese" sauce and a tiny...bit of guacamole, and some peppers or something. Hard to believe any chef would allow these to be served up under his/her watch. Appalling. Everything else, service, ambience was nice, but the nachos were dire.a child could have done better.More

Good but slow

Food was lovely. Staff were very nice. My only problem was they were very slow had to call them a few times. Went on a Saturday night and it wasn’t majorly busy.

Dublin shopping

Went into they Chruch today while in Dublin. A very nice doorman welcomed us first of and opened the door for us. We were met by the receptionist who took our name and contact number dew to covid19. We were then taking to our table...by a very nice young man. We were sat at table 24. There was both food and drink menus on the table. We were quickly served our drinks by a lovely waitress. She came back shortly afterwards and took our food order. Very prompt service they food was absolutely delicious we had bbq wings for sharing than fish and chips. It was piping hot presented lovely and they service again out standing. From beginning to end we had a lovely time. Cant wait to go back and they staff had brilliant in house skills well done and thank you.More

Beautiful Setting and Food!

Had a fantastic first experience here in December 2020. I didn’t have a reservation but there was no queue. We were seated straight away at a beautiful cosy table in the corner. The service was very quick and the food delicious. Fab cocktails too. I...felt very safe - all the staff wore masks and masks had to be worn walking to and from the toilets - which were very clean and spacious. All tables and chairs were sanitised after each customer. We didn’t feel rushed at all and the bill was very reasonable, I’m already planning a trip back as there were so many nice options on the menu. Thank You for a great first experience - would highly recommend!More

Pre-dinner cocktails 🍸

Stopped by this iconic building for some pre dinner cocktails. It was dusk when we arrived and it looked so beautiful with the fairy lights. Really atmospheric and interesting. Lovely warm welcome by the staff even though we were just having a drink. Sat at...a high table in the bar area. Drinks are pretty pricy, but it is worth it for the venue. The toilets were really cool too and worth the walk to find them. Didn’t eat dinner here, but would really recommend a visit on any trip to Dublin.More
