Good spot for a decent lunch. Portions are generous and the food tastes fresh. Only downside is the seating, can be a bit of a squeeze at busy times.

The lunch special with soup and sandwich hit the spot. Veggie soup had real flavour, and the sandwich was properly filled. Staff were friendly too. Upstairs seating was grand.

Came for dinner, got the sea bass and carbonara. Both were solid, pasta had a nice kick to it. Chocolate fudge cake for dessert was the highlight though. Staff left us alone mostly, which I liked. Place was a bit loud by the end but whatever.

The French toast with ice cream was a decent treat, but honestly, the mini breakfast was the better deal for the price. Portion sizes are on the smaller side, though the river view makes up for it a bit.

Stopped in for lunch and honestly the presentation caught me off guard &mdash; everything looked almost too good to eat. Flavours were proper, you could taste the freshness. Staff were sound, didn&rsquo;t rush us at all. Place has a nice relaxed buzz to it. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind going back to try more of the menu.

The festive fries are the reason I keep coming back, honestly. Coffee&rsquo;s solid too, never had a bad one. Service is quick but the welcome could be a bit friendlier, not a big deal though. Place gets busy around lunch, but the food makes up for it. Just wish the seating was a little more comfortable for a long chat.

The set menu here is honestly the reason I&rsquo;d come back. Everything tasted fresh, not heavy or overdone. I had the fish option and it was cooked just right, with veg that still had a bit of crunch. Portion size was decent for the price too. Service was fine, nothing to complain about.

Stopped here for dinner and grabbed a table by the window. The view over the town is lovely, especially as it got dark. Food was solid&mdash;starters and mains both hit the mark. Staff were polite, no complaints there. Only thing is it&rsquo;s a bit quiet, but that suited me fine.

Stopped in for a quick bite before heading off. Food was solid, fresh ingredients for sure. Portion size decent for the price. Service was fast enough for me.

Stopped in for an early dinner with a few friends and we shared the crispy wontons and chicken satay. The Massaman curry was the star, everyone kept going back for more. Staff were nice, not hovering over us which was good. Place got a bit busy later on but we had a laugh. 😊

We&#39;ve been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The food is reliable, portions are generous, and the staff remember you. It&#39;s clear why this place has been a local favourite for so long.

The toasted chicken pesto sandwich was proper tasty, and the chips were decent too. Didn&#39;t break the bank for a quick lunch, which is always a win. Service was quick enough that I was in and out. Place had a nice hum to it, not too chaotic. Reckon I&#39;d pop back in if I&#39;m passing through that way again.

Came back twice after the first lunch, that says it all really. Gluten-free options were clearly marked, no awkward questions needed. Goat cheese platter was the standout, proper portion too. Place was busy but we got a table easy enough. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Duck was decent and the staff looked after us well. Price felt a bit steep for what you get though. Starter was nothing special. Might give it another go, but not rushing back.

Solid burgers, juicy enough. Boneless wings were decent too. Service stayed quick even when packed. Good spot for a quick bite in Athlone.

Pasta was spot on, cooked just right. Starters came out pretty big too, could&#39;ve been a meal on their own. Place is tiny though, so definitely book before you go. Walked in on a Saturday and nearly had to leave. Glad we waited it out.

Nice spot for a drink outdoors. The cocktail tree at &euro;45 for six is decent value. Service was fine, no complaints. Would pop in again if in the area.

Solid feed for the price. Portion sizes are generous and the staff didn&#39;t keep me waiting. Handy spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a quick bite without fuss.

The spinach ravioli and garlic focaccia were the standouts. Nice and quiet in there too, made it easy to relax. Service kept things moving without hovering.

Walked in and was greeted straight away, proper friendly. Staff left us to settle in, no rushing us along. Felt more like a local spot than a cafe, really nice vibe.

The Sunday carvery here is massive&mdash;like, properly loaded plate. I went for the beef and it was tender enough, gravy was spot on. You won&#39;t walk out hungry, that&#39;s for sure. Prices are fair for what you get too. Didn&#39;t try the evening menu but it looked decent enough.

Stopped by for a coffee and ended up staying longer than planned. The takeaway hatch is a nice touch, though I wish they had a better wine selection to pair with their pastries. Parking out front makes it easy.

Stopped by for the 3-course deal, went with the T-bone. Steak was proper good, cooked just right. Place had a nice buzz to it too.

Stopped in for a late lunch and grabbed the rump cap steak with peppery mushroom sauce. Cooked properly, no complaints there. The Guinness stew in the sourdough bowl was decent too, filling enough. Portions are on the smaller side though, so if you&#39;ve got a big appetite, you&#39;ll probably want a starter or something after. Fine for what it was.
