Nice Medditerinan-looking restaurant in Waterford, on Saturday we couldn't get a booking so we booked for Sunday. The menu is not impressive that much, they need to improve the menu and add more Mediterranean dishes, it looks like they are trying to keep the menu ordinary but the design of the place is Mediterranean. We ordered a burger and pasta with jumbo prawns. My pasta was almost cold, with no steam not warm enough, you can see in the pic I added the cheese even not melted. I loved the treat; olive and butter with sourdough bread. And the red wine I ordered was good though :))

Such a vibe. Food is unreal and they made us a cocktail that wasn't on the menu. 10/10 would recommend

As I noticed a long time ago, if one dish in a restaurant is delicious, then the others will be very good. This restaurant is no exception. Excellent cuisine and friendly staff. I recommend this restaurant to visit.
