A. K.

Very nice old school/modern Irish style pub/restaurant with large outside garden with amazing view on a sea and cliffs. I can say that menu is very good. You have a choice for everybody. Steak, chicken, wings, fish, burger etc. We had seafood chowder, chicken stir fry (smoked salmon, fish and chips) and brownie as dessert. I didn't expect too much BUT I was surprised by the taste. Cheers to a chef!!! The price list is from €8-18/meal (€25/steak). I can only recommend if you pass it - it is worth to stop there, have a food and chill if you are on road trip. Servis is brilliant too. Thank you.

Visited on August Bank Holiday Sunday. Super food, great tea and fab chips! All with exceptional service from the lovely staff especially on a really busy day. They did trojan work. Thanks for a lovely experience.

Went for lunch with my family. Food was lovely and the service brilliant. Only negative was that the vegetarian option was off the menu-why was it on the menu if it was not available ?,bearing in mind we were there at 12.30 not late afternoon. However something was sorted out for my son which he enjoyed.

A.

Good food, lovely views, and good service despite the full house. Kids goujons were a little expensive for the portion size.

Great food and lovely staff great to able to eat indoors again

Excellent food and great service. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because you can't reserve a table for lunch and it's a bit of a spin if there's no space for you.

Typical Irish lunch, soup unusual but nice. Great views in the area.

T. P.

Excellent lunch and beautiful location

P. C.

Went there for lunch and was very disappointed, 2 adults and 2 children and none of us happy with what we had. Corned beef and cabbage which I love but this left a lot to be desired, a so called white sauce which was more like water than sauce, sausages that were overcooked, chicken goujons overcooked ......definitely not coming back here for lunch

D. M.

We ate here during a vacation to Ireland. It was a very busy night and the service was great and the food was delicious. The courgette and rocket soup was the best.

(Translated) Definitely a great place to eat or just grab a beer. The sea view is breathtaking and it also has a large garden. The food is very tasty and the staff are friendly. Both fish and meat are recommended. The place is also set up with objects that recall the world of the sea (boats, objects for fishing and a painting depicting the Lusitania). (Original) Decisamente un ottimo luogo per mangiare o anche solo prendersi una birra. La vista sul mare è mozzafiato e possiede anche un vasto giardino. Il cibo è molto gustoso ed il personale cordiale. Sia il pesce che la carne sono consigliati. Il luogo inoltre è allestito con oggetti che richiamano il mondo di mare(barche, oggetti per la pesca ed un quadro raffigurante la Lusitania).

(Translated) Great place. Food very good ordered a steak sandwich and something Ala nagets chicken fries with that, of course. The French fries sauce was very good. Price Oki even as the Polish pocket. Of course, also we ordered a dessert of homemade chocolate cake with ice cream and coffee to all great. A beautiful place to view the ocean cliffs on the beach just hit outflow. And to the two horses. All completes mentality irladczykow nice friendly people, despite the wet weather that they have. I highly recommend the place and tourist trips to Ireland. (Original) Super miejsce. Jedzenie bardzo dobre zamowilismy kanapkę z stekiem i coś Ala nagets z kurczaka oczywiście do tego frytki. Sos do frytek był bardzo dobry. Cena Oki nawet jak na polską kieszeń. Oczywiście zamowilismy też deser domowe ciasto czekoladowe z lodami i kawa do tego wszystko super. A do tego widoki piękne miejsce ocean klify plaża trafiliśmy akurat na odpływ. I do tego dwa konie. Wszystko dopełnia mentalność irladczykow mili przyjaźnie nastawieni ludzie mimo mokrej pogody która mają. Gorąco polecam miejsce jak i Irlandię do wypraw turystycznych.
