Solid spot for a quick bite. Got the pasta, it did the job. Place was busy so service was a bit slow, but the food came out alright. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area.

Been coming here on and off for the past year. The steak was cooked exactly how I asked, medium rare, and the chips were proper crispy. Place gets busy around 7 so you might wait a bit for a table, but it&#39;s worth it. Same quality every single time, that&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Stopped in before a show at the Opera House. Place was packed but they found us a table anyway. Had the pizza and fajitas, both were decent. Service was quick and the staff were sound. Nothing fancy but it did the job for a pre-theatre feed.

Big portions and the staff were sound. We sat inside cause it was lashing but it still had a nice buzz. The terrace would be deadly on a sunny day.

The sourdough toast was honestly the best I had while I was over&mdash;really decent for what you pay. Coffee&rsquo;s fine, nothing to write home about, but I didn&rsquo;t mind. Sat near the window, staff left me alone long enough to enjoy it. That&rsquo;s all I needed, really.

Bit of a wait to get served, but the sandwich itself was solid. Good bread, decent filling. Place feels more like a casual cafe than a 4-star hotel spot, which caught me off guard. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area, just don&#39;t expect anything fancy.

Food was decent and came out fast, but the dining room felt a bit chilly. Portions are fair for what you pay, though.

Felt like having dinner at my auntie&#39;s place, staff were dead sound and let us swap things on the menu. Proper hearty feed, mostly locals in which is always a good sign.

Went in on a Friday night, they&#39;ve started doing food weekends now. Got the brownie, fair play it was deadly. Portion sizes are decent for what you pay. Place was busy enough but we got sorted. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try the rest of the menu.

Came here on a tip from a mate who lives nearby. Seafood chowder was proper creamy, plenty of fish in it. Steak came out cooked exactly as I asked. Staff were grand, even with the place packed for lunch. Menu&#39;s big enough you&#39;ll find something. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

The wild mushroom and poached eggs were the standout. That sauce soaked into the toast just right. Got there right at opening, place was already half full. They don&#39;t take bookings so you&#39;re rolling the dice if you show up late. Portion was decent for the price too. Would eat that again.

Stopped by for dinner on a Tuesday. Service was quick and the waiter didn&#39;t hover, which I appreciate. They brought out a candle with the dessert for my partner&#39;s birthday without us asking. Small gesture, but it landed well. Food was solid, nothing groundbreaking, but the place runs efficiently. Fine for a casual weeknight meal if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for a late lunch with a few colleagues. Place was busy but we got seated straight away. Food came out quick, which I appreciated. Had the burger, decent portion for the price. Service was friendly enough, no complaints. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and need something reliable.

Food&#39;s solid and the tortilla is spot on. Croquettes were good too. Portions are a bit small for the price though. Fine for a quick bite.

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.

The porridge with the sweet chopped apples was proper comfort food. Soft, warm, and not overly sugary. Portion was decent for the price, which I always appreciate. Place itself was nice enough to sit in for a while. Simple breakfast done right, no complaints from me. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

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.

Stopped in for breakfast again&mdash;still solid. Eggs came out right, toast actually buttered properly, coffee hot. Staff let me sit with my paper without hovering. That&#39;s basically why I keep coming back. Nothing fancy, just dependable. Place gets busy around 9, so go early if you want a quiet table.

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