Stopped by Friday afternoon, plenty of parking which was handy. Staff were friendly enough at the door. Menu&#39;s got a good few options, though nothing blew me away. Grand spot for a quick stop.

The steak was cooked properly and looked lovely on the plate. Staff were friendly enough, made us feel looked after without hovering. Place has a nice warm buzz to it. Slightly on the pricey side, but you can see where the money goes. Comfortable seating too, which always helps. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back here again sometime.

The gluten-free bread here is genuinely good, which never happens. Fish and chips were solid too, proper crispy batter.

Stopped in for a veggie meal&mdash;poppadoms, a couple of mains, some speciality rice. Came to about &euro;62, which felt fair for what we got. Service knew the menu well, didn&rsquo;t hover. I had a mango lassi with mine, worked a treat with the spices. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re after something proper.

Been here a few times now, food&#39;s always packed with flavour and portions are massive. Prices fair too. Staff left us alone but were there when needed. Solid spot.

Stopped here on a sunny afternoon and grabbed a seat outside. The gluten-free carrot cake was genuinely impressive&mdash;moist, not too sweet. Staff were lovely too, really looked after me. Only thing is the concrete seating gets a bit hard after a while, but the park across the way makes up for it. Nice spot to unwind.

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up staying longer than planned. The cappuccino was solid, and the pancakes came out fresh&mdash;not too heavy, just right. Sausage roll was decent too if you want something savoury. Place had a nice buzz about it. Only thing is the portions aren&#39;t huge for what you pay, but it&#39;s fine for a quick bite.

Food was lovely and the place looks great &mdash; nice lighting, nice vibe. Staff were sound. Only thing, portions are a bit small for what you pay. Would&rsquo;ve loved a glass of something bold to match the mains.

The set menu&rsquo;s decent value and the pasta was properly authentic. Baileys tiramisu was light enough but I couldn&rsquo;t really taste the Baileys in it.

The beer garden here is a proper sun trap, catches the light from lunch right through to evening. Managed to grab a decent spot without a mad scramble for seating. Pizzas were solid, but I was more taken with the wine list, a nice glass of something cold really sorted me out. Relaxed spot for an afternoon, no complaints.

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

The vegan potato cakes and sweet potato chips were really tasty&mdash;proper flavour, not just fried for the sake of it. Staff were sound, had to double-check the ingredients a couple of times but no hassle. Irish breakfast was decent too, not greasy at all. Solid spot if you&#39;re in Kilkenny.

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.

The place has really good natural light and the seats are actually comfortable, which is rare for a coffee spot. I grabbed a pastry and it was decent. Didn&#39;t try the hot food this time, but I&#39;ve heard it&#39;s a bit hit or miss. Nice spot to just sit for a while though.

The carbonara schnitzel was a fun twist&mdash;creamy sauce over a crispy cutlet, worked better than I expected. Trout was fresh, cooked just right. Truffle hash browns stole it though, proper crispy without being drowned in oil. Place was busy but we got seated quick enough. Would go back for those hash browns alone.

The vegan cherry chocolate cake is properly good&mdash;rich but not too sweet, you can tell they put effort in. Just wish they&#39;d add a few more vegan bits to the menu.

The hot and sour soup was genuinely top-tier. Chicken Szechuan with cashews was solid too. We sat there for two hours chatting, no one rushed us out.

The pistachio basque cheesecake was properly good &mdash; rich and creamy. Small spot, so there&#39;s a bit of a wait, but fine for a quick stop.

The live trad session was the best part, hands down. Food was decent, nothing crazy, but the music and dancing made up for it. Staff were sound too. Place was packed but we still got a seat. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back just for the craic alone.

Came for the early bird, portions were decent for what you pay. Food was fresh and seasoned well enough. Staff grand, no complaints.

Great spot for a catch-up with friends. Got the kids menu sorted too which was handy. Prices are fair for what you get. Service was lovely and friendly.
