I was greeted immediately by the locals, offered "the best coffee in Ireland" (too bad I don't drink coffee), and spent the rest of the night hanging out with my new friends. This place combines coffee shop with wine bar with groovy music...what's not to love. When Tom (the owner) is there, free wifi is available (no wifi when he is gone). The vibe is total hep cat meets artsy caffeinated wino. I haven't felt as comfortable in a bar as I did there in a long time. I wish this place was on the corner of my street, because I'd be there every day.

The bottle of Australian Pinot Noir we purchased for 40ish Euro was young and didn't open much even after being open awhile. But we should have chosen differently. They offer tastes before purchase on wines available by the glass. It would be nice to see a few bolder options such as from California. Friendly staff, cozy and inviting environment. I would definitely return if in town.

We took a seat outside, under the stairs which was completely covered. Our cheeseboard was enjoyed with the candlelight ambiance. I couldn't stop looking around and smiling. I will say while service was nice, it was slow and we actually didn't get exactly what we ordered. There was only one person in the whole restaurant working. I believe he was taking orders and preparing them. The menu is very selective and doesn't offer alot of options. It is my recommendation to stop by for a glass of wine and cheese plate before dinner at another location. This place is gorgeous.

Such an amazing little gem in Limerick. While visiting the city, a friend and I were in the mood…read morefor a light dinner and wine, this restaurant made that possible and went above and beyond our expectations. The ambiance alone is worth the visit. The restaurant itself is below street level so eating outdoors in their outdoor seating area is like sitting in a romantic nook - candles galore, gorgeous twinkle lighting upon entry, a small fire place/woodstove(?), and tables & chairs that somehow felt so cozy. I can't say much for indoors because I only ventured in for the restrooms but it seems warm & cozy and on a colder night, a better place to dine. I will say however, based on the set up, unless I missed something, this location is not handicap accessible. Aside from the ambiance itself, the options were plentiful for boards and wine. Our host/server was so helpful and spoke to us about the daily cheese options and what kind of make up we'd like since only one of us eats meat. The board that was brought out was perfection. In addition to a delicious selection of cheeses, we ordered green olives and not just one order of garlic flatbread but two bc it was so tasty with the cheeses. I think I could eat the onion marmalade by the spoonful. The service, quality of food & wine, and ambiance made this restaurant a memorable night and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

The space itself is small and cozy, with just a handful of tables and a private room, which gives it that intimate, tucked‑away feel. I'd 100% go back. They offer two specialty cocktails and a wine list, and while the cocktail selection is limited, the wines are unique and fantastic -- definitely worth exploring. The food was outstanding across the board. The monkfish scampi isn't what you might picture, but it's fantastic -- super crispy and full of flavor. And you have to get the bread: tomato focaccia or brown bread, then topped with the fennel, thyme, and maple butter were all unforgettable. The bavette steak was delicious, and the mashed potatoes were truly out of this world. The sea trout was incredibly fresh; just a heads‑up that the gremolata is spread over the whole dish, so it ends up almost poached in olive oil -- worth noting for anyone sensitive to that, but the flavor itself was excellent. Definitely end the night with the affogato and the shortbread cookies (chef's kiss). Who doesn't like to dunk their dessert? Highly recommend, would absolutely come back.

It reminds me of a country home by the water. The service was friendly and young. I got the plum salad, fallow deer, and roasted peach/caramel ice cream. The salad was spectacularly tasteful and fresh. I felt like the deer was a little too salty for my taste, but presentation was good. I was disappointed by the dessert. My ice cream was partially melted and the peaches were cold. I would give the environment/ambiance 5/5, service 5/5 and food 3.5/5. Overall 4/5.

So I waited in the (fast moving) queue inside Sherdans, looking over the crackers, cured meats, sauces, jams and the other treats before I was helped by a very pleasant young woman behind the counter. I provided my wants - a firm or hard cheese not from cow milk - and she instantly knew what was available. A sample of the first one and a sample of the second one, and I took a small wedge of each. Reasonably priced and wrapped properly. They lasted in the bag for about an hour or so until I shared them with my friend for a picnic in Eyre Square.

The historical aspect of this part of the castle is particularly interesting, and we appreciated the history lesson given to us by our dinner server. The decor is in a similar style to the rest of the castle and is beautiful, extravagant, and well kept. Service was friendly but very slow for both meals. They have gluten-free options making ordering, if you're celiac, quite easy. Food was beautifully presented, and everything was good, but nothing really blew us away as far as our experiences with gourmet fine dining goes. It was all done well and innovative, but flavors were unexciting. Plating was marvelous. Prices are high. Breakfast was nice and came with our room due to how we booked. There was a mix-up with my food, and by the time I got my plate, my husband had been done eating for some time. It was a good breakfast, tho. Overall, it was a nice dining room of a caliber you would expect in this type of hotel.
