The restaurant is in a super peaceful and picturesque spot. We came in early, booked in advance and were happy about it, because the place was filling up fast. Service was absolutely fantastic, friendly, patient, helpful.
The food was amazing, loved crispy Brie, little watermelon/melon/ celery addition to chicken wings was so refreshing.
Lamb shank, absolute perfection
My husband said the noodles were a bit too mild, so you probably could do two options as with the wings mild or spiced.
Overall dinner was great, atmosphere 👌

Touring Ireland in motorhome stopped one evening to ask if we could stay overnight if eating here, yes it was fine.

So what's its like well the external areas look clean, modern and as it was warm weather looked very cosy with lighting. Basic decorative interior.

Staff attitude was pleasant, welcoming but I noticed a reluctant approach to some professional etiquette like dressing correctly shirts half hanging out, dirty trousers don't look very good.

Reviewed the menu and wine ordered bottle of wine and our meals. The only issue we had was a family gathering with young teenagers shouting, getting up from their seats, fooling around our seats and basically ruining the purpose of having a meal out. It was uncontrolled. The restaurant had no management control of sorts to ensure a pleasant dining experience is to had by all not ruined by a few. We weren't the only people put off nearly left actually but we already had our wine.

Food arrived and it was really well cooked, hot as food should be and within reasonable time from order.

We also had deserts which were nice.

A point for management is staff being visually aware of clearing empty tables quickly! and a sweep of the floor if tiled. We saw food on the floor after the family left with no attention given by staff to clean the area. Waiter wiped food off table in to the floor.

It's a nice location and has the potential for something really special. A more professional approach to waiter service, dress code when presented to all clients and cleaning a must!.

We ate here yesterday evening and really enjoyed it! The food was excellent, and the service was good too. The views outside were beautiful. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!
