I don't like writing negative reviews, but I fail for the life of me to see much positive to say about this place. There was nothing wrong with the food as such, it was edible and well presented..but that was about it.

Courses ranged from the boring pate / soup / irish stew brigade to to ' something approaching thai food the head chef (if they had one) thought would look good on the menu. Stick to chicken kiev (even if you can't even be bothered to spell it correctly on the menu !) it's more in your comfort range.

Some menus are reasonably priced such as the lunch or 'after office' menu at around the 10-14 euro mark with a drink. They clearly get repeat trade in this way, but with the overpriced menu of the food equilvalent of magnolia paint in the evening, they won't be getting my business again.
