Reviews
Most of the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. All the other dishes we ordered were excellent and really well cooked.
There was just one small issue: we ordered a steak medium to well, but it arrived not properly cooked on one side. However, to their credit, the staff handled it very professionally and fixed it quickly, which we really appreciated.
Overall, a great experience with fantastic food, great service, and a lovely setting. We’d definitely go back.

We order padron peppers & pork skewers for starters- both were amazing, definitely a must order!!
For mains we shared the Ribeye & grilled prawns. They both looked amazing but presentation was better than quality unfortunately. The steak was a bit underwhelming and quite flavourless, with heavy amounts of fat, the chimichurri (which cost €4.50!!) was just oil and rosemary and really let down the steak overall as it didn’t taste good, no garlic or chilli flavour at all!!
Prawns were great, cooked perfectly and flavours were delicious!
They handled my egg allergy professionally and were confident my meal would be safe which was reassuring!
Staff were friendly and polite but service was slow overall to clear plates etc!
Favourite was beef carpaccio – good portion and accompanied with some fried nibbles.
Ceviche dish experience was nice- but could have been combined with bread or side nibbles to accompany the flavours and sauce.
Cocktails were nice.
Drinks and starters were nice, but the portions were very small for the price. For our mains, both my partner and I ordered the ribeye steak, but the quality was very poor. Half of my steak was inedible due to excessive fat, and the portion itself was small—more like mismatched pieces of meat on a plate rather than a proper cut. The chips that came with the meal were overcooked, clearly having been left sitting around too long.
I did raise these issues with the waiter, who was understanding and offered us a free dessert, cocktails, or to have our steaks remade. However, by that point (25 minutes after we’d already eaten), we just wanted to leave. They did remove one steak and the chips from the bill, which I appreciated, but overall the meal was very underwhelming.
Sadly, I wouldn’t return and definitely wouldn’t recommend this restaurant—there are much better places to go.
