"Breakfast was good, coffee lovely, their was a group meeting casually but for mid 50's talking so loud everyone could hear was a bit rude. Nothing the staff could do as they were regulars.
Lovely views, nice food and good service. We will definitely be back"

"Great new spot looking over the UL sports fields. Was very happy with the food and coffee on offer. Breakfast menu was fantastic and I imagine it won't take long to become an extremely popular spot for both the UL community and visitors."
Calum Hogan
"Our team had the pleasure of dining at the newly refurbished Terrace at UL for our lunch break during the EPS Team Build Day. Upon arrival, Edel and her team had thoughtfully cordoned off a private section for us, complete with four large round tables, ensuring a comfortable and exclusive dining experience.
We had pre-ordered our meals, and they arrived promptly once we were all settled. The food was fantastic and very plentiful, with everyone complimenting the delicious dishes.
The service was equally impressive; the team at the Terrace were friendly, efficient, and attentive, making sure all our needs were not only met but exceeded.
Overall, the Terrace at UL provided an excellent dining experience with great food and outstanding service. Highly recommended for both team events and casual dining!"
