Stopped in for a pint and ended up staying longer than planned. The barman knew his stuff, poured a proper Guinness and even showed me the bottle when I asked about the wine. &euro;4.50 for a pint is fair for Dublin these days. Place had a nice hum to it, not too packed. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a relaxed drink.

The full Irish breakfast here is a solid shout if you&#39;re hungry. Portion size is proper, not one of those tiny plates that leaves you looking for a snack an hour later. Service was quick enough even though the place was packed. They split the bill for our group without any hassle, which is always a bonus. Only thing is it&#39;s not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Loved building my own bowl &ndash; went heavy on the spice level and it didn&#39;t disappoint. The house hot sauces on the side were a nice touch.

Bright spot with loads of seating, no hassle getting a table. Portion sizes were decent for the price, left full without feeling ripped off. Would pop back in if I&#39;m in the area again.

Food was spot on &mdash; the lamb melted off the bone. Service got a bit lost near the end though, took ages to flag someone for the bill. Nice vibe inside, just needed a bit more attention.

Decent spot for live music at night. Fish and chips with my dad was pretty good, service was quick.

We popped in for dinner without a booking and got a nice table near the window. The waitress was so patient explaining what was gluten-free, which I really appreciated. Food was tasty, nothing too fancy but well done. Only tiny thing was we waited a bit for the bill, but no rush on our end. Would happily go back.

The butter chicken was proper tasty and the paratha had that nice flaky texture. Only thing is the portion felt a bit small for what you&#39;re paying. I&#39;d say it&#39;s decent for a quick bite but don&#39;t come starving. The seating area is pretty cramped too, not much room to spread out. Fine for a casual lunch but nothing fancy.

The sourdough loaf used to be available on its own. Now it&rsquo;s only in their sandwiches. Bit of a letdown if you just want the bread.

The view over Cork at night is stunning, and the waiter really looked after us. Pricey, but worth it for a treat.

Stopped in for a pint on a quiet Tuesday and the bartender was dead sound. Didn&#39;t rush me at all, even when I was just staring at the wall. Prices are fair for Dublin too. The live music later was a nice touch, not too loud. Probably the most relaxed I&#39;ve been in a pub all month.

Great food, and the wine list actually pairs well with the dishes. Pricey, but you get what you pay for.

The taco chips were decent, nice crunch and seasoning. But honestly, the portion was a bit tight for what they charge. I&#39;d probably skip them next time and just go for the pittas instead.

Been coming here for a while now, food&#39;s solid. But the closing time is a bit of a lottery, honestly. Turned away twice before 9pm, which is annoying when you&#39;ve made the trip. Wish they&#39;d just stick to the posted hours.

Came here on a Tuesday night, place was busy but we got seated straight away. Ordered the pad thai and green curry, both came out hot and fresh. Portion size was decent for the price, though I&#39;d say the curry could&#39;ve had a bit more chicken in it. Staff left us alone which I actually prefer. Paid about &euro;15 each with a drink, can&#39;t complain about that.

Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed the grilled salmon with greens. Fish was fresh, flaky, not overcooked. That&rsquo;s the main thing for me&mdash;when a place gets the protein right, I&rsquo;m happy. Portion was decent too. Room was a bit warm near the window, but nothing a cold drink couldn&rsquo;t fix. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area.

The gluten-free desserts were pretty good, and the prosecco ros&eacute; came in a nice little bottle. Toilets were spotless too.

Walked in with our toddler and they couldn&#39;t have been nicer. Opened the back section early just for us. Staff kept smiling at the little one the whole time. Proper friendly spot.

The spaghetti alla norma was pretty good &mdash; tasted proper and authentic. Place is small but the staff were sound about it. Decent spot for Italian.

Great spot to hit with the girls on a Saturday. Staff kept the prosecco coming and the vibe was buzzing. Just wish the DJ had started earlier than 5pm, we were ready to dance! 🥂

Good sourdough base, nice char from the wood fire. Toppings tasted fresh. Solid pizza spot in Cork, nothing fancy but they get it right.

Dropped a fair chunk of change here last week, and yeah, the wine pairing really did push the bill up. No regrets though. The food was solid, but honestly, the sommelier&#39;s picks were the star for me. Each glass matched the dish better than I expected. Just mind the final tab if you&#39;re not careful.
