The Gables in Dublin

We’ve been regular customers at The Gables for quite a while and have always enjoyed the food and warm service, especially from one particular waiter who is consistently friendly and professional. However, our recent visit was disappointing. The waiter who initially served us seemed rushed and impatient from the moment we sat down. We felt under pressure to order almost immediately, before we had a chance to read the menu. Dietary questions were handled without much care, and a drinks order was missed entirely. Unfortunately, this left us feeling like an inconvenience rather than welcome guests, even though the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy. I emailed the restaurant afterward to share our experience. While I appreciated the polite response, the focus was more on defending the staff member than acknowledging how the situation came across from our side as customers. This isn’t typical of our previous visits, which is why the contrast stood out so much. Hopefully it was just an off day, and we’ll give it another try — but it was a disappointing experience for a place we’ve usually really enjoyed.

The menu and the food is excellent. Served in a very attractive restaurant by very helpful staff. There is plenty of parking near the restaurant.

Nice spot with tasty food could have more vegetarian options.

It's was nice with decent menu and they didn't rush us out. A little expensive for adult menu. Kids were ok.

Not alot makes me happy... but this place does

Me and my wife have become regulars here for lunch - great atmosphere and decor. The food never lets down

A very chic and stylish place, with lovely staff and a great location.

Lively place for lunch. Love the decor and the food was fantastic.

Nos encantó The Gables y volveremos. La comida era excelente y los servidores muy agradables y atentos. Las únicas pequeñas dudas que tendría son que el barbudo Maitre nos había dejado parados en la puerta demasiado tiempo y aunque mi cerveza llegó rápidamente el vino de mi compañero tardó mucho en llegar. El menú es claro para los alérgenos, aunque el salmón ahumado tiene pan integral Guinness, que nos dijeron que no es apto para gluten, pero no está en la lista de gluten.

Precioso almuerzo sabroso en un gran lugar! Conocí amigos y pasamos unas horas muy relajadas. Recomendaría encarecidamente The Gables, Foxrock
