It unfortunately did not live up to the hype.
We booked a table for six people and apparently that meant that we were limited only to the chef's menu. The staff said a warning about this is on their website, but I still cannot find it.
The atmosphere is quite lovely and the wines were delicious, but the food was lacking. The burrata with the tomatoes was yummy and the crab tostadas surprisingly fresh. The Pumpkin Cappellacci was delicous, but the lamb ragu was very forgettable. The ribeye was cooked well, but lacked seasoning and felt like a very cheap cut with little flavour. My friends' sole was extremely salty. The sides were also a big disappointment, with the broccoletto being so tough that I needed my steak knife to cut through it and the salad fell flat. The potatoes were okay. The tiramisu I got at the end was really good.
I do have to mention that the chef's menu said that each pair could pick two sides, but when we were trying to order, we were told not to and that they would bring everything. Apparently that meant bringing all three sides twice, which was very much not what we wanted, so I have no idea why they would just assume that this was okay without asking or explaining. They did fix this when we complained, but we did get some weird looks from the staff.
Overall, I found the experience to be lacking, especially for the price point. Please be aware that for large groups, you can only get the chef's menu and be very specific about ordering the sides you want. Not sure if I will be returning, but if I do, it will be in a much smaller party, so I can actually order the things I want to try.

Quite frankly best dining experience I’ve had in Dublin. Not cheap, but absolutely worth it. Chef’s menu recommended

Great restaurant so popular. Menu very well designed . Staff so nice and professional. Some of the seating has bar stools sitting up with no back support.

One of the best meals I’ve had in Dublin and I’ve lived here for over 10 years. We went with the chefs menu and every dish was delicious from start to finish. I thought it was reasonably priced considering the food quality and the amount of food you get. Staff are very friendly and attentive and the overall experience was really enjoyable. It definitely lives up to the hype. Can’t wait to come back!

Food and service were amazing!!! The chef's menu is exceptional.
My only problem was to find it a bit too crowded to my liking as the tables are really close to each other. However, everything else surpasses this minor issue.
Ask for recommendations from the staff. They are GREAT!

Highly recommend the chefs menu, and delighted it was able to be modified for a group of 3. Highlight was the pumpkin ravioli. The staff were so welcoming. And the wine was delicious also!

Fantastic service and tasty food. The only downside I could point to is the amount of cold, kinda less preparation effort starters on the menu that are still quite pricey. The ragout pasta and gnocchi are to die for on the other hand! Recommend!

Spectacular. The food, the service and the atmosphere. We loved everything we ordered. The burrata, pasta and meat are 10/10!
We will repeat soon.
(Maybe what I wouldn't order again is the octopus, it had a bit of a burnt taste).
