Been coming here for a while now, and the fish and chips never let me down. Cod&#39;s always flaky, batter stays crisp without being greasy. Kids&#39; meal deal is decent too, keeps the little ones happy without breaking the bank. Portions are fair for what you pay. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you get what you pay for.

The trad music and general buzz in here made it feel like a proper Irish pub. Guinness was poured well and the spice bag had a decent kick. Seats near the window were a bit tight though.

The seafood risotto was the standout&mdash;prawns, mussels, and monkfish all cooked properly. Rich base, not too heavy. Cocktails were decent too. One of the better spots around for that dish.

Solid whiskey selection here. Tried a peated Islay I&#39;d never heard of and the bartender knew exactly how to talk about it. Outdoor seating was a bonus, though the street noise got a bit much.

Nice cocktails and a menu that&rsquo;s got plenty of options without being too much. Prices are a bit steep but you&rsquo;re paying for the quality. Solid spot for a proper dinner.

The coffee&rsquo;s decent but nothing to write home about. The free chocolate with your drink is the real winner though&mdash;always makes me stop in when I&rsquo;m passing.

Tucked away in a quiet courtyard, really nice relaxed spot. Porridge was spot on, though I wish they&#39;d a better wine list to go with it. Still, great for a slow morning.

The tandoori chicken special with Indian fried rice was a decent feed for the price. Portion was fair, didn&#39;t leave hungry. Service was quick enough too.

Stopped in for dinner last week and ordered the fish of the day. Really fresh, cooked simply, no fuss. Got a window table which was nice for people-watching. Service was friendly enough, though we did wait a bit between courses. Portion size felt right for the price. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped in for a late lunch and the lamb really caught my attention &mdash; cooked properly, still juicy, not overdone like most places do it. Staff were sound, no fuss. Menu&#39;s simple enough, nothing fancy, but that&#39;s grand. Place has a relaxed vibe, though it did get a bit busy around 1. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back for that lamb again.

The falafel bowl and flatbread were both really tasty, loved how fresh the veggies were. Great spot for a lighter meal with friends, though it did get a bit busy.

The fish and chips were spot on &mdash; crispy batter, fresh fish. Sat on the terrace with a view of the water, which made the whole lunch feel a bit special.

Came for the match on the big screens, ended up staying for the food. The fish chowder was proper&mdash;creamy, plenty of fish, not just potato filler. Chicken salad was fresh too, decent size for the price. Place was busy but we got our order quick enough. Solid spot if you&#39;re after a bite with the game on.

The lamb stew was spot on again&mdash;fall-apart tender, just like every other time I&#39;ve been here. That pie special was decent too, though the stew&#39;s the reason I keep coming back.

The eggs benny with spinach never misses, and those roasted potatoes with hollandaise are proper good. Pastries are the real draw here though.

Popped in on a wet Monday and grabbed a flat white. Proper coffee, nice and warm in there too. The girl behind the counter was sound, didn&#39;t rush me at all. Price was fair, which is always a relief. Just what I needed to get out of the rain for a bit.

Early bird menu is decent value, food came out quick enough. Staff left us alone which I appreciate. Place had a nice buzz even on a quiet evening.

Solid spot for a quick bite. Got the pasta, it did the job. Place was busy so service was a bit slow, but the food came out alright. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area.

Full Irish breakfast came out hot and quick, on proper warm toast. That&#39;s exactly what you want on a cold morning. Staff were sound, no fuss. Place is small but has a decent buzz to it. I&#39;d say it&#39;s a solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and need something filling without the wait.

Great coffee and they actually have oat milk, which is handy. Sandwiches are decent for a quick bite. The space itself is pretty snug though, not much room to spread out if you&#39;re staying a while.

Owner and staff were dead sound. Thai latte was unreal, ingredients tasted fresh. Spotless too, even the toilets. Kitchen closes early on weekdays though, caught us out.

Stopped in for breakfast and grabbed the avocado toast with a side of eggs. Plenty of options, even gluten-free and vegan stuff, which is handy. Staff were dead on, friendly and quick about it. Place was busy but we weren&#39;t waiting around long. Solid enough for a morning bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Big portions and the staff were sound. We sat inside cause it was lashing but it still had a nice buzz. The terrace would be deadly on a sunny day.

Stopped in for the first time last week and the staff really made it easy. Super friendly, sorted us out without any fuss. Food was solid too, nothing fancy but it hit the spot. Place had a nice relaxed vibe about it. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The sourdough toast was honestly the best I had while I was over&mdash;really decent for what you pay. Coffee&rsquo;s fine, nothing to write home about, but I didn&rsquo;t mind. Sat near the window, staff left me alone long enough to enjoy it. That&rsquo;s all I needed, really.
