F.X. Buckley in Dublin

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.

Great experience here for Mother's Day. Food is excellent, steaks are amazing, lovely atmosphere and really great service with super friendly staff. Great for a special treat

FX Buckley’s in Monkstown never disappoints! Their steaks are delicious, the porterhouse for two is our go-to favorite. Cocktails are spot-on every time, but what really makes the experience is the staff, they’re genuinely the best! The Monkstown location has a warm, local vibe that makes it feel like our happy place. Can’t recommend it enough! Muchas gracias! :)

Wonderful experience team are so friendly and helpful. Superb restaurant with a great atmosphere food is so good. We have tried nearly everything on menu as our regulars. It’s all gorgeous our favourites are the onion soup and prawn starters and for mains the sole and beef Cote De Boeuf. Highly recommend.

Great Steak with a nice side dishes.

What can I say!? Impeccable food - the T-bone was absolutely cooked to perfection. Service was also very impressive. Thank you!

One of our local favourites! Especially the upstairs Frank's Bar with very relaxing atmosphere. Great wine selection and fantastic staff! Food never disappoints!

It's a cozy environment to dine in style with very good and attentive services. The fillets were very slightly salty at the very beginning, but tasted very good and was so tendered. The rib-eye was a bit over-done, but the waiter offered to change it straightaway. Overall, it was a very good dinning experience.

Had an excellent meal here on Saturday evening. The food was excellent. Perfectly cooked. High quality ingredients. Everything was served with professionalism and a smile. If you are in the area and want to have a steak - this is the perfect place. Will definitely be returning.

Food was well worth waiting for , honestly first class. But as it wasn't very busy the times in between each course was to long ,35 minutes between mains and desert is far to long .
