Ok food. Not the cleanest place with ok service. You get what you pay for. Prices are moderate for the food you receive.
Service and staff are a little rude especially when dealing with older customers which are 85% of their customers.
Atmosphere feels old and run down.
Nice to have a tea with friends but there are definitely better spots in Dun Laoghaire for breakfast.
Edit: the quality of food is getting worse. Black/white pudding taste off and under cooked. Chips are bland and soaked in oil.
Dirty cutlery. I will not be returning
