The restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars in its first year, then one of only four Irish restaurants to have received this accolade.[5][6][7] The restaurant retained its Michelin stars between 2020 and 2023, but lost them in the 2024 version of the guide following Bailey's departure as head chef.[8]
