Best meal of my life. The chefs' creativity shone through every dish.
This is the type of restaurant where the food tells a story. The chefs' explanation of the ingredients and origins was such a welcome addition to each course.
Truly an exciting experience. What a gem in such a beautiful city.
Simply incredible from start to finish. 24 course menu, which was thoughtfully done, beautifully presented and can’t really imagine it could have been any better! We skipped the oyster course as that’s not our thing, but did still try the oyster ice cream (which wasn’t our thing either!). Stunning setting too - it’s a wonderful place. Will certainly come back. Expensive (as we chose the premium wine option) but we think worth every bit of it. Thanks to all!
We loved our dining experience here. The creativity and intention behind every dish, decor, even down to the dish ware and cutlery - all highlighted regional Irish food and makers. Our server was amazing at giving us the lay of the land at the start of the meal. The chefs brought out each dish to explain in great detail what we were about to enjoy. A treat all around to experience this taste of Ireland and Irish culture. Best beet dish I have ever had. Venison tartare was absolutely stunning.
Pork and fish main courses were top notch.
