"Amazing date night. The moment you walk in, there is a display of fresh fish on ice. We went for their specials which were Halibut and Black squid ink risotto. Both were delicious and we enjoyed every bite. Impressive wine list as well for every budget. It is a bit of on more expensive side but you get what you paid. Romantic atmosphere and great quality seafood."

"Restaurant is beautiful Service is great But I expected much more for those prices. Seating near exit is no good. Constantly cold breeze on my back. They should do something about that. Or not using those tables during cold months. And the most important part - food. Well, I really expected something more impressive for that money. It started with sliced baguette and butter. That baguette should be really fresh, fluffy and even little bit warm. But what we got felt like someone sliced it that morning and after all day sitting somewhere it was chewy and just didn't feel very fresh. I was really surprised by that. Starter (from today specials) was nice. Kind of shaped into cake with hazelnut crust. It was nice, but again, expected a bit more...felt really plain. Pasta for main course was lovely, but when compared to much cheaper pasta in Grano... I expected a bit more there too. Second main course fish with mushrooms and rosemary potatoes. Pan fried fish was nice and cooked well. Sauce and mushrooms also nice. But potatoes were just wedges from the oven with zero presentation. The whole meal looked like my regular dinner at home. So again, for that price I expect much higher food quality and presentation. This felt more like a regular lunch in decent bistro. Not what I expect for €250."

"The uniqueness, quality of preparation, and presentation of this meal has placed this experience in my Top 10 Dining Experiences of all times. The special was a salt crusted, broiled, whole Sea Bass that was finished table side, flambe. The hostess, floor manager, then skillfully filleted the fish directly into our dinner plates, leaving not one ounce of fish behind and without including a single bone. The fish was cooked to pure perfection, moist, tender, and beautiful flavorful. To simply add to this exquisite meal, was the most engaging service you could ask for from this all Portuguese team."

"Fancy place, the starters were great ( we had squid with vegetables and oysters), fresh ingredients, the desserts were nice (ferrero rocher and tiramisu), however the pasta was barely above average, you would expect exceptional pasta in an Italian restaurant for that price (179 eur for two with starters, main course and desserts including a bottle of wine which was 45eur)."

"What an amazing experience. Absolutely lovely restaurant. Service was 10/10 food was 10/10. From the second we walked in Luca and his staff were amazing to when we left. An absolute gent. We will defo be back. One of the nicest restaurants in Dublin would recommend to anyone who likes great food with a great atmosphere."
