The Glen of Aherlow in Dublin

12/10/2024: To find this place one am has to walk through Ballsbridge and look for a green door almost hidden between 2 pubs. Walking up the stairs leads to a nice restaurant with themed decorations. The interior is nice. The atmosphere possibly too quiet considering that the room was almost empty. Food is good and the chef clearly makes an effort: recipes are not obvious and the presentation is lovely. Taste is not as consistently good as we would have liked. We had one dish lacking salt, one (the special) that couldn't get much taste even after adding salt twice and one that was even too tasty. I would have preferred to be warned that the special that I ordered had basically the same taste as one of the starters (the croquettes). Coffee felt overpriced: 3.10 for a cup or Nespresso?

11/10/2024: Perfect food, warm friendly service and an experience we will remember long after this vacation ends. Thank you Girl and the Goose!!
