This place is wonderful. We came here for dinner after a long day of driving, so it felt very nice to walk into a restaurant that was not only cozy but full of light and smiles.
We sat down in a cozy booth and promptly ordered a myriad of food items: duck, chicken, a side of vegetables, and of course TWO desserts (sticky toffee pudding and the brownie as unfortunately they were already out of the trifle). The portions were very large and my only area of improvement was I wish the duck had been a little more moist. Regardless, the flavor was rich and dynamic, and we gobbled it all up. In my opinion, their strong suits were their desserts which had a warm and comforting look but had a very elevated, rich, and delicious flavor profile. I definitely felt like I had a meal that tasted like the memorable childhood food that my Irish grandmother, if I had one, would have made me.
Really lovely place! One note - as we are not locals, we noticed about half way through that the majority of the people there seemed to be on a date night as a lot of them, the women especially, were dressed nicely. Perhaps this is the Irish way, but forewarning, if you want to fit in well, come cleaned up. And very hungry! read more
