This is truly a gem of a restaurant. Warm, cosy, and refreshingly easy to find—with convenient parking, which is always a bonus.
If any restaurant deserved six stars, this would be it. The service was exceptional, genuinely friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient without ever feeling overbearing.
The wine list is concise but perfectly curated. We enjoyed some beautiful bottles of Chablis, all very fairly priced and thoughtfully selected.
As for the food, simply outstanding. Prepared by a Michelin star chef, every dish was absolutely delicious, served piping hot, presented with real care and attention to detail.
All in all, it made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening and one we’ll be looking forward to repeating.

Fab place. We were en route from Wicklow to Galway its a 8 minute detour off the motorway and worth it. We rang ahead and wanted 4 they said they could fit us in for 4.30 and if we arrived early we could sit at bar. We arrived at 4 and we were seated at 4.10; perfect! The service was exemplary got bread before our food arrived. Water and miwadi for our kids was laid out on table when we sat down with plastic cups for our v young 2 kids; ideal! They read the situation so well. I had chicken supreme and it was delicious. With so many astro pubs not serving a veg these days a bowl of root veg came out to accompany it as well. The carrot puree was so tasty. Highly recommend
