Fogg Cafe in Dublin

07/05/2025: I did a little research and came across this establishment. I booked a reservation for my wife and I and upon booking, was offered a normal table or a “mid week special” table consisting of the chateaubrianed dinner for 2 including a 16oz filet and sides for €70. I chose the special. We arrived early and were sat quickly. We proceeded to wait roughly 5-10 minutes before someone came to ask us for drinks/starters. It didn’t seem like the special I had booked was relevant so I followed up. They honored the special, but was told the filet would be 13oz, not 16oz. That was fine and we continued on. The food was fantastic, from the bread plate, to the steaks and sides, to the dessert. Unfortunately as the night progressed, the waitress became more aloof…sometimes disappearing for a while. When we had already finished dessert and coffee, the bill was imminent, but we had to flag her down to receive it. The music of the restaurant did not suit the mood or the decor. The food saved the night, but the confusion in the reservation expectations and the lacking attention to the service was unacceptable for this classy of a place. I would absolutely come here again, but the little details matter when considering repeat business as a customer.
