Our first visit to the restaurant with a menupages deal. We received a warm welcome. Very pleasant surroundings and I liked the fact that there are different rooms on different levels. We were presented with a selection of breads and the Guinness bread was wonderful. The food was beautifully presented and very good, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that it was that memorable. My husband had the cured monkfish and Hereford beef assiette. The beef was very good. I had the quail and Wicklow lamb. I've never eaten lamb that rare, but it was very nice. We shared the fun toffee dessert. The staff was attentive, but I was surprised that empty dishes were cleared from our table whilst I was still eating. I wouldn't have expected that from a Michelen star restaurant. Still it was a most enjoyable evening in pleasant surroundings.

Dined here as a birthday present. The Quail and especially the Hereford Beef Assiette was magnificent. Service was good and very astute. The decor is very nice and roomy. I finished off a lovely meal with the Opera Choclate and thoroughly enjoyed my evening. A few things though for a Michelin resteraunt I noticed were the vegetarian options could use more imagination and some of the wines could be more suitable to reflect the price. I was a little amazed when the waiter reached across my plate while eating. However I definately will be returning soon.

Taste sensation and worth every penny. Atmosphere mid week is very corporate and can be a little stuffy but cannot fault food, service, or wine. Worth the spend for any foodies out there
