We went on our Date night too see what the two courses for €30 special would be like but there was nothing on the options that tickeled our fancy. However we were pleasantly surprised to find a steak on the stone special at €30 per person and we decided to run with that. The steak was absolutely delicious and was served with house chunky chips and mushroom and pepper sauce. It was served on a massive platter plate and was the best steak we have had in a long time. The staff were all really friendly and knew the menu inside out. We had Chicken wings to start whick were massive and a shared chocolate Fondant for dessert. The place was very busy for a Tuesday night and this gives an indication of how lovely overall the atmosphere is. And as Arnie says..Ill be back.

Friendly staffTasty food
We went here for Mother’s Day and had such a lovely experience. The food was absolutely amazing – everything was fresh, full of flavour and really well presented. You could tell a lot of care goes into the dishes.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived, which made the whole visit even better. They were also great with the kids, and the children’s menu had plenty of good options, which made it really easy for families.
For the quality of the food, the prices were very reasonable. We’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal out.
Thanks Ross. We look forward to seeing you again
Put the service at 4 stars as I felt there could be some improvement. Food was excellent but choices were limited for us. Price of food is good.
