About

The restaurant’s terrace offers sweeping views of the Corrib, making it a romantic spot for couples or a cozy setting for families. Reservations are encouraged, especially for larger parties or Sunday jazz evenings, and can be made online via ResDiary or by phone/email. Dining hours run from 5 pm to 9 pm on weekdays, with extended hours to 9:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 4 pm on Saturdays to accommodate afternoon guests.
