“ Had a lovely dinner here today. The roast beef and hake dishes were fantastic. All beautifully cooked, and the accompanying sides were packed with flavor. Our picky toddler tucked into the kids mac & cheese (which was also delicious. All very reasonably priced, especially considering the quality. Drinks were great, music playlist likewise, and although we skipped dessert, based on a previous visit they are every bit as good as the mains. Thanks for the welcoming, friendly and attentive service - we'll be back before long. ”

“ To put it simply, outstanding with just one tiny complaint! We popped in for lunch where I ordered a BLT, my wife a tomato soup and sausages with chips for my son. The BLT, was for lack of a better word, was savage! It was a unique flavour that I never encountered in a BLT before and I really enjoyed it. My wife had the tomato soup and it was top notch. My only tiny complaint would be that the children's menu was very limited, but my son enjoyed the sausages and chips. The restaurant itself was very comfortable and the host was welcoming and friendly. Well worth the visit and I would recommend. ”

“ As Mizen Head dwellers, we normally head home from Cork via Copeen, but weather was poor and contacted a friend from Bandon to ask her where could myself and my 8 year old have lunch. The 8 year old is a precocious oyster loving foodie, and was completely won over by the food, friendly service from the lads, and the amazing décor, as was myself. Having had a relative in hospital it was a salve, wonderful food, good little wine list, easy parking, great job on the refurb. To sum up my 8-year old, "I could swim in a pool of the deconstructed meringue'. Now making 2 tired people happy after some tough days in hospital on a rainy day = a result! Thanks so much lads. ”
