We had a late lunch here. We loved the interior, a modern building behind an old church. The large window offers a wonderful view in any weather. Lunch was served surprisingly quickly, even though we ordered four different dishes. The courtesy of the staff was an added bonus to the excellent cuisine. Sincere thanks and a desire to visit again.

Based on the menu online (which is very out dated) I honestly did not think what I was expecting but the menu consists maybe 10-12 intriguing dishes in total mainly fish and meat (very limited vege options) and based on what we ordered, the food was 10/10. I ordered Baked Hake in Pancetta and husband got Steak Sandwich both dishes were absolutely delicious and super tasty! The steak sandwich was perfectly cooked, tender, juicy medium rare with a good balance of spices and extra crispy fries. The only thing we would do is to have the meat cut instead of serving with a whole stake without a stake knife. I personally do not order generally white fish but the waitress recommended it to me and the gambling paid off: tastiest dinner I have had in Ireland past 3 years. It's hard to describe but whoever's designed this dish bravo it was such a good balance of different components from soft and savory fish, crunchy potatoes and crispy cabbage (or something) and the tasty sauce completed it all. Perfection! I would have expected the dessert menu to have unique choices something home made authentic or classic irish but we got the Tiramisu which was good though. I hope that whoever put the recent menu recipes together has a good look at the dessert menu because I think there's potential to match the level with the fresh, tasty and brilliant food you serve. Thank you so much for this excellent meal!

We went to Sea Church for a family dinner. The updated menu is superb. I ordered the chicken wings with the spicy sauce option and it was absolutely delicious as the chicken was very juicy. For mains I ordered the seafood linguine and it was a little salty for my taste, but still delicious with high quality ingredients. One family member ordered the beef and Guinness stew which was absolutely phenomenal. We had a range of desserts and Irish coffees to end our meal, all of which were fantastic. To top it off the ambiance was very cosy. An absolute must visit!
