Service was friendly helpful and efficient. Wine was expensive by glass - €8-10 would be a better price point. Charcuterie board was a little expensive also for what you got- chutney was quite thin. Lovely venue- would return

I love this spot for coffee, pastries, sandwiches by day and wine and cheese/charcuterie by night. Staff are warm and friendly and when the music is live it’s even better!

We got the charcuterie and cheeseboard, which was extremely sparse. In the menu they mention truffle honey, nuts, olives, 4 types of cheese meanwhile all we had was maybe 6 pieces of cured meats, few crackers and a bit of bread and only 2 types of cheese. It killed me to pay almost 30€ for that. I was very disappointed.

The service is amazing and very friendly, the location of restaurant provides a pretty seated view of coast of clontarf providing good ambience and aesthetic. Amazing place to go for coffee or to settle with a wine for the date nights

We had a lovely night in Surge wine list was a little limited this time but the quality of what we had had was excellent and accompanied a beautifully presented cheese board really well. The service was excellent and we really loved the live jazz. So lucky to have this spot in our community.

I’m a local I regularly go for coffee and wine and I love this place but last night I was disappointed when the bright lights were turned on at 9.30 to ruin the ambience. Totally understand that it was last orders BUT saying so was enough it’s not a wild or raucous crowds. Instead the last 30 mins of our evening were spent under full headlights. I asked the waitress to turn them down but she shrugged her shoulders and said no. Disappointing will make me thing twice about rebooking soon.
