Such a beautiful atmosphere with candles, shelves of bottles of wine and the conversation of other diners. The food was wonderful, always a little different. Wonderful choice of wine to suit all price range. Staff always very attentive.

Enjoyed the refreshed menu. Chicken wings were very good. Not sure €16 corkage is value for money. Service always friendly and warm.

Everything apart from the noise was perfect. People were talking very loud and we were dazzled since the beginning. However we understand this is not up to the restaurant.

As always Ely was excellent, the food is fantastic, no issues with dairy free, I had the scallops and calamari for mains, my husband had the pork belly and steak! I felt for the staff, we had to wait 20mins for our table as the previous guests wouldn't leave, the staff kept apologising to us, but not their fault!

Our food was beautiful , I had the scallops but unfortunately there were tiny so not good value for me. We loved the artichoke & the crab claws but overall a bit expensive. Staff were really good and friendly , thanks again .
