Chapter One in Dublin

Chapter One is fabulous. One quickly realizes how it merited two stars from Michelin. From reception, to cocktails, thru dinner, everything was impeccable, including the service. Delicious foie gras creations, great lobster dish, and fabulous pigeon. By all means, you must finish with their famous Irish Coffee, prepared tableside. Awesome! This was right up there in our loosely formulated “Top Ten” Dinners ever, in the company of Auberge d’Ill, The Inn At Little Washington, Les Crayeres, etc. Some fine company. Nuf Ced! Highly recommend!

This is fine dining at its best

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service and solid rather than spectacular Michelin star food, but the portion size (for lunch anyway) is just too small. Main course came with no veg just mashed potatoes and bread. The portion of fish was so small we all end up eating mashed potatoes on bread.

What a delightful experience! I booked a lunch to celebrate my fiancé's birthday, and everything was fantastic. The atmosphere, service, and food were all exceptional. Everyone served us beautifully, but Thayna was a standout, she was attentive and charismatic, making our day even more special. It truly was a wonderful celebration!

Absolutely wonderful dining experience! Food, wine pairings, service and atmosphere were exceptional. We are so lucky to have such a fabulous restaurant in Dublin!

After hearing so much hype, I finally managed to secure a reservation at this fine dining restaurant. Overall, the experience was one of artistic cuisine and new flavors, but I felt it was a one-time experience rather than a place I would want to revisit. For someone like me, with more humble tastes, it can be a delightful experience for a special occasion or celebration. We chose the lunch menu, which is why the prices are reasonable compared to Michelin-starred restaurants in other countries, also appreciated and was impressed by the professionalism and kindness of the staff.

Wonderful afternoon. Thank you so much for everything.

This was a phenomenal experience, highly recommended. It truly blew my mind!

Had the absolute joy and pleasure of experiencing the tasting menu here last night. Hands down, the best food I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try it again. The service was also above and beyond, couldn’t have asked for a better evening.

This is our second time dining here (first time was pre-Covid). Excellent experience. The staff was great— very professional but friendly. We felt that they genuinely cared about our experience. Beautiful ambiance. Great drinks and food. The dishes were inventive but also very approachable. And the courses were layers like chapters in a story. The dessert—a 3 strawberry preparation—was amazing but we were too full to finish it (maybe we’ll ask to start with dessert first next time). Great showcase of Irish food culture. It was a wonderful way to end our Dublin journey.
