Really beautiful meal, one of the best I've had in Dublin. The pork was a real highlight... absolutely outstanding. Wonderful staff. Also great to have the option of a more affordable wine pairing. I can't wait to go back.

Exceptional meal.

Food was stunning. Focaccia was delicious. The 3 snacks were absolutely to die for, in particular the croquette, I'd eat one every single day if I could. Not really a mushroom lover generally but that cais na tire shitake agnolotti was a real standout dish, perfection. The pork was amazing with a great balance of flavours, the confit potato reminded me - maybe just because I wanted it to - of the hash brown fries from clanbrassil house. The tenderstem broccoli served alongside the mains could be a meal in itself, so good. Tried some of the cod as well, incredible too. Lastly finished with the tart tatin which was indeed legendary. The mousse was also great.

The wine pairing was excellent. The most surprising, in my opinion, was the sweet wine served with the desert. Worked so well.

Service was impeccable from the moment we entered as well, couldn't fault it. The description of each wine and dish were great. At one stage we queried what way a dish was done and the server didn't know but she quicky got over the manager who filled us in with great detail.

Also dealt with allergy requirements really professionally which was brilliant.

10/10 for sure. I'll definitely be back.. if I can get a table! (Need to see that knife collection)
