The beef was properly tender, not gonna lie. Menu&rsquo;s got some creative local stuff on it, and the veggie options actually had flavour, which is rare enough. Service was sound, friendly without hovering. Only thing is the place got a bit loud as it filled up, but that&rsquo;s on me for going at peak time. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind heading back for that beef again.

Loved the vibe here &mdash; super clean and modern inside. Portions are massive for what you pay, honestly great for a casual catch-up with friends. Service was quick too. 😊

The wood-fired pizzas here have that proper thin base, not too doughy, and the toppings tasted fresh. I grabbed a glass of red to go with mine, worked well with the char on the crust. Taco chips on the side were decent, crunchy and salty enough. Staff left us alone until we needed them, which I appreciated. Place was busy but we got a table easy enough.

Stopped in for dinner during a work trip. Food was well-presented and the Slovenian wine was a nice change of pace. Family-run spot with a decent vibe. Service was fine, nothing to complain about.

The leek and potato soup here is still as good as the first time I had it. Fresh bread on the side, proper comfort food. Staff remember you after a few visits, which is nice.

The pints were spot on and the food was decent. Staff were friendly enough too. Seats near the window were a bit tight but it&#39;s a nice spot to stop in for a quick one.

Great spot for a catch-up with the girls. Caesar salad was proper good and the scones are unreal fresh. Service was lovely, just a bit of a wait for the food. 😊

The seafood pasta was the real deal&mdash;prawns cooked right, sauce had some depth to it. My missus got the beef and it was properly tender, came with decent veg on the side. Portions are fair for what you pay. Service was sound, nothing to complain about. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try the rest of the menu.

Fish and chips were alright, nothing special for a coastal place. Chips tasted a bit frozen tbh. Portions okay, not huge. Bathroom was spotless though, fair play. Seating area felt a bit cramped, not the easiest to move around if you&#39;ve got a buggy or wheelchair. Fine for a quick bite.

The seafood tagliatelle was the star of the night &mdash; proper fresh pasta and plenty of prawns. Bar staff kept things lively too. Service was spot on.

Came here with a big group for a hen do and we had the whole upstairs to ourselves. The waitresses were brilliant, honestly so on top of everything. Two courses and everyone was happy with their food. Just a really easy spot for a celebration, no fuss at all.

Been coming here for a while now, and the Sunday brunch still holds up. Pancakes were fluffy, loads of toppings, and the mini Irish breakfast with coffee included is a solid shout. Not greasy either, which you don&#39;t always get. Place gets busy enough, but it&#39;s worth it.

Lovely spot with that old-school charm. Kids were glued to the National Geographic mags while we had our coffee. Pastries were decent, though service was a bit slow. Would pop back in if I&#39;m passing by.

We popped in for a late lunch after wandering the gardens, and honestly the setting is the whole vibe. Vincent looked after us really well, super friendly without hovering. The caramel dessert was the highlight for me, so good. It&rsquo;s pricey, but you&rsquo;re basically paying for the castle backdrop, which is fair enough. Would come back for a treat. 😊

The host let us taste a few wines before deciding, which I loved. Ravioli with the slow braised meat was silky, sauce rich. Really nice spot.

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up grabbing a pastel de nata too. That thing was genuinely good, flaky and not too sweet. Owner was sound, chatted away like we&#39;d known him for ages. Prices are fair for what you get, especially in this area. Might be back if I&#39;m passing.

Asked them to hold the cinnamon in one dish, allergy thing. Chef sorted it no fuss. Got the lamb stew, proper tender. Sauce had real depth, not that watery stuff. Ate every bit. Good spot if you want straightforward, honest cooking.

Came here for a work thing and honestly the space surprised me. Warm lighting, not too loud even when it filled up. Staff were sound, kept checking in without hovering. Didn&rsquo;t try much food but the beef cheek was proper tender. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind going back just for that. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get but alright for a treat.

Service was impressively quick and the staff were genuinely friendly. Portions are generous and the food hit the spot.

Came for the trad session on Sunday and the food totally surprised me. The dish of the day was proper tasty, exactly what I needed. Place was packed but the wait felt fine, the music kept it easy. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind going back just for that again.

Stopped in for a late lunch after a walk around the area. Fish and chips were done right, crispy batter and the fish was flaky. Guinness was a proper pour too, creamy and cold. Place was busy but not mad chaotic. Only thing, took a wee while to get the food out, but sure look, it was worth the wait.

The covered outdoor area is a proper bonus, especially when the weather&#39;s doing its usual thing. They didn&#39;t bat an eye when we showed up with the retriever, even brought out a little pup cup for her. That kind of small gesture goes a long way. Nice spot to just sit and not be rushed.

Lovely little spot for a quick bite. The toasties are class and the desserts really caught me off guard. Prices are fair for what you get.
