Frommer's Review
This bright cafe with light streaming in through floor-to-ceiling windows is a cheerful place in both cuisine and appearance. It's open all day, starting with homemade scones and biscuits at breakfast time, moving on to a lunch menu stocked with comfort foods for busy Kilkenny shoppers and business folk -- mainly homemade soups, salads, sandwiches, and hot plates. But the place really comes into its own at dinnertime, when the menu comes alive with zestier options, like Louisiana crab cakes with tomato salsa, chicken and mozzarella wrapped in phyllo, and steamed mussels with wine and garlic.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
