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.

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! :)

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 .

Casanova's Wood Fired Pizza

29/03/2025: Three Girlfriends on a Friday Night Out! Casanovas was perfect - fab food & wine, lovely staff & a great buzz in the place! We’ll be back! Thanks
29/03/2025: SERVICE: Really amazing staff. Arrived without a reservation on a busy night and sat outside. They did everything possibly to make sure we were comfortable, and above all warm. Shortly after they found us a table indoors, but we were well set up at that point and more than happy with the arrangement. FOOD: The food was very good indeed. Can highly recommend the Mare e Monti pasta and the scallop starter. OVERALL: Perfect balance between quality and value. I'll be back!

25/04/2025: We celebrated a friend’s birthday dinner here. The customer service was amazing, the waiters were attentive and charismatic, the food was spectacular and so flavourful! We couldn’t get any pictures because we couldn’t wait to eat it all!
18/04/2025: Llegamos para una comida reservada para celebrar el 80 cumpleaños de mi madre, una ocasión muy especial para nuestra familia. Después de haber conducido desde Tipperary, elegimos este restaurante porque una vez había sido nuestro favorito cuando vivíamos cerca. Mencioné esto al hacer la reserva, esperando que se sumaría a la sensación de ocasión. Lamentablemente, la experiencia no estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. A la llegada, el hombre que nos saludó era cortés y poco acogedor. Nos apresuramos a ir directamente a una mesa que estaba tan cerca de los demás que nos sentíamos todos sentados en una larga mesa comunitaria. Era incómodo y completamente carente de privacidad. Afortunadamente, una amable y atenta camarera entendió nuestro malestar y nos ayudó a trasladarnos a un lugar más adecuado. Fue decepcionante ver a los huéspedes delante de nosotros, que parecían ser habituales, que ofrecían bebidas en el bar antes de su comida. También hubiéramos apreciado esa opción, especialmente dada la importancia de la ocasión. Un mes antes, había cenado aquí y me quedé impresionado por la comida. Fue excepcional: complejo, refinado y bellamente equilibrado. Nos encontramos con un hombre amable, con ropa tradicional, y aunque llegué tarde, todavía era maravillosamente acogedor. Esta vez, tristemente, la comida se sentía plana en comparación. No fue malo, simplemente poco notable. Todo sabía un poco demasiado similar, sin la sutileza y profundidad que había admirado anteriormente. Para un día tan especial, simplemente no valió la pena el viaje ni el costo. En contraste, almorzamos al día siguiente en The Ivy, y la diferencia fue notable. La comida era excepcional, el ambiente cálido, y mi madre se hizo sentir realmente especial — todo lo que esperábamos en esta celebración de cumpleaños. Escribo esta reseña con la esperanza de que lo que está pasando con este lugar se puede arreglar, ya que siempre fue una joya.
