Stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday. Three courses, and honestly the sticky toffee pudding was the highlight. Service was professional without hovering. Place has a decent buzz but you can still talk. Price felt fair for what you get. Wouldn&#39;t cross town for it, but if you&#39;re nearby it&#39;s a solid option.

Celebrated our anniversary here and honestly the portions were massive for the price. Couldn&#39;t finish my main. Staff were lovely too but the food alone was worth it.

The lighting in there is really something&mdash;soft and warm, makes the whole place feel cosy without trying too hard. We sat near the window and it just worked. Food was decent too, nothing wild, but the vibe carried it. Maybe a touch slow between courses, but honestly I wasn&#39;t in any rush.

The gluten-free pancakes were lovely, really nice to find somewhere that does them properly. Staff were sound and didn&#39;t make me feel awkward about asking questions. Will be back.

Food&#39;s consistently good and the staff are friendly. Quiet enough to hold a conversation, which is rare around here. Solid spot for a relaxed dinner.

The eel sushi here is genuinely good, and the wonton soup hit the spot. Service was quick even though the place was packed. Prices are a bit steep compared to other spots around, but you can tell the quality is there. I&#39;d go back for that eel again, no question.

Stopped in here on a Tuesday night, no booking. Got the steak on the stone&mdash;decent piece of meat, you cook it yourself which is a bit of a gimmick but it works. Duck was tender too. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Prices fair for what you get. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area.

Came here for lunch and was honestly surprised by how roomy it is inside. Southern-style food done pretty well, nothing fancy but solid. Got a decent portion for what I paid. Only thing is the seating area felt a bit cramped near the window, but the space overall makes up for it. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area.

Caught DJ John Gibbons here last weekend and honestly the music alone is worth the trip. Place was packed but the vibe stayed sound. Staff were grand, doormen sound too. Only thing is drinks are a bit steep for what you get, but sure you&#39;re paying for the atmosphere. Wouldn&#39;t be my first stop for a cheap pint, but for a night out with decent tunes? Fair play.

The early bird menu is a decent deal&mdash;about &euro;25 for fresh, well-spiced dishes. Portions were generous too. Service was friendly enough.

Carbonara was spot on, creamy and proper. Tagliatelle with gorgonzola was rich too, big portion. Cocktails decent. Place gets busy so it&#39;s a bit loud, but fair for the quality.

Food&#39;s definitely on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. Portions are proper generous, so you won&#39;t leave hungry. Service was spot on too. Only thing is the place gets pretty loud and packed, so don&#39;t come here expecting a quiet chat. Fine if you&#39;re up for the buzz though.

The steak was cooked exactly right again, and those wings with blue cheese are still my favourite thing on the menu.

The BBQ pork and nachos were the real deal, proper comfort food. We grabbed a nice bottle of red to go with it, which worked a treat. Service was sound, though the place was a bit mad busy.

Tomato mussels were unreal, steak cooked perfectly too. Service felt proper fancy but not stuffy. Pricey enough but class for a treat 🍷

The staff sorted out my big phone order really quickly, even though the place was packed. They were polite the whole way through, which I appreciated. Nice to see service like that when you&#39;re in a rush. Made the whole thing a lot less stressful than I expected.

Food came fast and portions were generous. Got the chicken burger and it was properly fresh, not soggy at all. Solid spot for a quick bite.

Stopped in for a quick coffee and a bite. Service was fast, no hanging around waiting to order. Staff were sound, friendly enough without being over the top. Place was busy but they kept things moving. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and need something efficient.

Stopped in for a late breakfast &mdash; coffee was properly hot and the staff didn&#39;t rush me. Food came quick too. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The Guinness was spot on, proper pour. Chicken burger did the job too, though I&#39;d have liked a bit more sauce. Good crowd, friendly enough bar staff. Solid spot for a pint if you&#39;re in the area.

The open kitchen really makes the place feel alive. Pizzas have that proper crispy-chewy crust, no complaints there. Service kept up fine even when it got busy on a Saturday. Only thing is the seating near the counter gets a bit cramped, but it&rsquo;s alright for a quick bite.

Stopped in for a drink and tried the Christmas gin with the strawberry swirl&mdash;lovely. Paloma was good too. Prices are a bit steep for the size, but you&#39;re paying for the vibe.

The salt and chilli chicken was a bit soft, but those wontons were spot on. Curry sauce is proper good.

Came here for a quick bite and honestly the staff were the best part&mdash;really friendly and on top of things. Food was a bit of a letdown though. My dish tasted like it was reheated, not freshly made. For the price, I expected a bit more. Might give it another go but probably just for a drink next time.

Lovely little spot in Naas&mdash;the lamb was proper tender and the sticky toffee pudding hit the spot. &euro;153 for three with drinks felt fair enough.

Been coming here for a while now. The pizza&#39;s still decent for a pub, even if the toppings are pretty basic. Good enough for a quick bite with a pint.

The pear almond scone was genuinely the standout&mdash;still warm, buttery, not too sweet. I grabbed a seat by the window and just took my time with it. Staff were friendly enough without hovering. Place has a nice quiet buzz to it. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try the other cakes, honestly.
