Halfway House in Dublin

05/01/2026: The food is good, the mussels and venison were excellent , selection is ok, there should really be a white fish on the menu. The service is very pleasant but a bit hit and miss, there was a mix up with our order but the dealt with it very professionally. Beautiful room but if it isn’t too busy it can seem big and cavernous. Worth a visit.

However, when our wine was served, another staff member spilled wine outside the glass, in more than one place, and simply walked away as if nothing had happened. Later, my steak was brought out. I had ordered a rare ribeye. When I took the first bite, the steak was already slightly cold and extremely tough, almost like chewing gum. Each bite required at least a full minute of chewing. To their credit, the service staff were attentive and quickly noticed that I seemed dissatisfied with the steak. He patiently asked for my feedback and relayed it to the kitchen, remaining polite and professional throughout. He explained that the toughness might have been due to the steak being cooked rare. However, regardless of the doneness, it should not have been served lukewarm in the first place. In the end, they removed the steak from the bill. The other dishes were decent, and my girlfriend was very satisfied with what she ordered. Overall, the food was average, but the service was generally good. It would be better if the restaurant could improve the food quality and the performance of certain staff members.
