Fabio's in Dublin

26/02/2025: Can not recommend this place enough,food and staff was excellent

16/02/2025: We normally love the food quality, ambience and staff of The Boat. We wanted to have a dinner during Valentine's day as we trust everything about this place. It was the first disappointing experince we had there. Bubbly on the arrival was really poor: we were served from 2 different nearly empty prosecco bottles and our glasses weren't filled same amount and the proseccos were different while seeing other tables were getting full glasses. We both ordered red pepper soup as starter, the soups were cold. I got chicken kiev which was nice and hot. But not the usual quality food we normally get there. My boyfriend got a lamb, nice but cold one. We asked for the bill and waited 15 mins to get it. I could understand the day could be busy, but overall experince was really bad. It was a 1-2 stars experience but since I love this place and giving 3 stars for all the times wr had great food and service. I hope they will match their normal food and serving standards.
