We really enjoyed our dinner here. The staff were friendly, the food was great and well priced. It was a little loud due to a couple of noisier tables, but it kind of went with the easy going pub nature and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

Beautiful styled pub, clean and tidy, very inviting and picturesque, great location, meal was delicious, very busy but food still was on our table within 15 minutes of ordering. Only minor problem was lighting was very dull and very noisy but that’s what happens when it’s a busy popular place. Would 100% visit there again! Was sensational overall!

To make it easier for staff you should have a order app on the tables so there is no line up and hard to get pass the line up. and have more smaller meals and deals.

Great venue, friendly hard working staff and great food. It doesn't seem to be much of an Irish Pub anymore but it's still great.
