Prior to visiting Locks, I was really looking forward to indulging in fine seasonal Irish food with some friends I brought along! However, my recent visit left me with a mixed impression. While the menu offered unique options and seasonal items and looked beautiful, the food arrived tepid & under-seasoned, falling short of expectations of warmth & depth of flavour.

Lastly, while the ambiance was pleasant, I was anticipating a level of hospitality and warmth that extended beyond mere formality by staff members.

Although this surprised me for such an establishment, I’m hopeful that Locks can use the experience as an opportunity for growth with their commitment to natural and seasonal flavours.

I popped in to the Cake Cafe last Saturday looking for a table for one. There was a bit of a wait outside but because the staff were so kind, accommodating, and warm it went by super quickly and I was eventually seated and enjoyed my breakfast! Food is always good and fresh and David the manager/owner makes you feel as though you’re having coffee at his own home :)
