We had a dinner with a group of 12 friends last week. The service was friendly, and they gave us a good table. Starters were really good i.e. deep fried Camembert, hot n spicy chicken wings and nachos. For main course, some of us ordered fish and chips, some ordered steaks. The rib eye I had was medium cooked rather... More

A pleasant enough meal, but not exactly sensational. A perfectly average steak and chips. Service was friendly and attentive tough and good value for money. With a bit of attention paid to the food and decor and this could be a star restaurant in Kilkenny. It's more of a shame than anything else.

My boyfriend and i like to eat out and we come here every now and then. Even when we decide to try somewhere different, we usually end up eating here as it would be one of our favourites. The most recent of our visits exceeded our delight. We got the steak which i like to have rare and it was... More

Food tastes great, really enjoyed the goats cheese burger but there is a lot of cheese, would be nicer with less. atmosphere is ok. tables are quite close together. service starts out ok but it's very difficult to get the attention of the waiting staff in the middle of your meal and it is a nightmare to try and get...

If you are really into your steak, then this restaurant is not for you. All the steaks ordered in our group were medium/rare, even though one was ordered as well done. The steak itself is nice enough, but the flavors for the steak come in extra little bowls. I've seen this around the world in a number of steak houses,... More

This is a very nice restaurant with a very decent menu. It's well located in the town centre. The food is lovely, well presented and service was prompt. The staff were friendly & engaging. It's a mid price range restaurant and wouldn't want to be any more expensive than it is. There is also a nice ambiance.

Some food on the menu were not for me. Staff ok a little bit overpriced. Sunday lunch could be reduced in price for families.

This is an odd restaurant.. The decor was very dated and mismatched and didn't quite go the type of food it was serving. It certainly didn't give the "steakhouse" vibe that I was expecting. We were there on a Tuesday and so it was quiet enough with one waiter who was friendly enough. Read through the menu,which consisted of 3/4... More
