I ordered the Penne Carbonara - the absolute best I've ever had, and I've had some of the best New York and other areas have to offer. The service is phenomenal, and the food came out relatively fast.

Good for the sport of a Saturday, we attended a great midweek pub quiz there a couple of months ago. Solid, suburban and unspectacular.

We knew it would be difficult to get into certain locations but we were easily able to make a reservation at this location. The only issue was right off the bat we were informed there weren't any more wings! Oh noooo.. so, the restaurant needs to have us back when they have them again! I ate the salad which was ridiculously good!!! I HIGHLY recommend it! My son and husband both thought they're dishes were good. The wait staff was okay. They weren't overly friendly but were helpful and hospitable. The drinks they offered weren't "fru fru" enough for me lol.

This is defo the place to come to enjoy a tipple after wondering Killiney Hill or Vico Road/Coast Road! Full bar along with very reasonably priced wines available by the glass or the bottle; their food menu is very casual and good price tag. There is 2 TV screens for those into the sport, at the time I was there... They had GAA on one, football on the other. Inside is very clean and well spaced out, not at all what I expected from the outside. This place would suit both local as well as a great spot for tourists, the friendly staff make it definitely an Irish warm welcome. They host free quiz night every Sunday (drink prizes on offer); I'll be definitely back to try it and will let you in on that with an updated review soon! Plus...

There is an abundance of take away or fried fish & chips here in Ireland. But this, it was excellent. Pair w a properly poured Guinness and watch some football at the bar. It all made for a perfect relaxing Irish afternoon.

It has a classy vibe but is casual. I had a Cabernet that was good for 6 euro and served in a proper wine glass. For dinner I had the shrimp and crayfish pil pil which is a spicy Spanish dish with a garlic oil and chili sauce and it was incredible! So flavorful with a great heat. I was blown away. Hubs had the Irish Beef and Stout pie and it was also delicious! The gravy was thick and full of mushrooms, while the pastry on top was light and flaky. We were so surprised at the quality of cuisine presented in this tiny village- and at a great price! If you're staying nearby (we were at the Powerscourt and looking for something a bit more reasonable) this is an excellent choice. Just down the road off the main village square. I think we will probably return tomorrow again!

It's nice dim lighting with plenty of comfortable booths to sit in. The garden area is perfect for having a drink on a sunny day. There is also foosball and a pool table to keep you entertained. They also have a big projector that plays any big sports games that are on at the time. The cocktails are really delicious with a wide selection at competitive prices. So for interior/leisure/drinks I would give it a 4.5/5. However I thought the food was pretty average. I got wings which were pretty dry and tasteless. The sweet potato fries were good but not the best I've had. My friend had a burger which she claimed wasn't great either. Therefore I would highly recommend this place for a few drinks and some light bites but I wouldn't choose it as my go-to restaurant for a hangover meal. I would prefer it's sister restaurant The Counter.

Food menu stops at 10pm and around then I noticed the place started to empty around then too. Which is a shame but there is other places nearby when the crowd thins out. Still I'll be back for more food and drink :)

I've had some great steaks in my life, but this one took the cake. Every bite was rich, juicy, and unforgettable. I ate all over Ireland, and this was hands down my favorite meal of the trip.

The food was very tasty and we didn't have to wait long for it to arrive. The passionfruit lemonade and iced coffee was great also. I did have an issue with the wait staff however. Three staff members stood near our table and complained about their jobs and how much they were sweating while resetting the tables. There was also and incident where a lady with poor english asked for a table and the staff member explained to her more than once that she needed to go inside to be seated. The staff member then loudly complained about this lady in full view of the rest of the customers. There was a slight discrepancy with our bill also, which was quickly rectified but I dont think that the staff conducted themselves professionally by complaining about customers, in front of customers. All in all, food was enjoyable but service needs work.

I chose the 2-egg omelette, which has both a breakfast and a lunch variation (lunch includes a side salad). Thinking that adding a few veggies to my meal couldn't hurt, I went with the lunch version, and in fact chose the vegetarian option, which features tomato, cheese, and caramelized onions as the filling. The caramelized onions had me sold! And, to accompany the food, a nice pot of tea. The presentation was simple but inviting. instead of a typical omelette with a sort of "fat banana" shape, they rolled it like a sandwich, and cut it on a diagonal. Nice! The fillings were just right, and not too heavy or wet from the tomatoes. The tomatoes were lightly cooked. The salad, too, was inviting. In addition to greens, there was some tomato, slices of pepper, an olive or two, and some hand cut shards of carrot, which is a nice change from the usual packaged, dried-out, grated variety. It was served with a choice of white, wheat, or soda bread. It was a pleasant, light meal that was easy to eat and easy on the wallet, at just under 10.00. Best of all, my server was kind, attentive but not intrusive. She noted that I was keen to get some work done while eating, and so she cleared my plate to give me more room when I finished my food, but assured me that I was welcome to stay. I did, but of course, kept an eye to make sure that I wasn't taking up a table if it were needed. I'll definitely head back. Soon.

They don't take breakfast reservations but on an off season Monday morning, there were plenty of tables available. My husband enjoyed his toasted breakfast sandwich on sourdough which was a huge portion. My Irish breakfast was delicious and they accommodated my request to swap out the black and white pudding for an extra rasher. My daughter was expecting a much fluffier version of the Belgian waffles - we noted that the menu describes the meal as "Waffles with crispy streaky bacon" and she only had a single waffle with not so crispy bacon. But we did enjoy everything else and will likely return.
