Her service was exceptional and she made sure you we had everything we needed throughout our visit. If you are visiting Dublin, check it out and don’t missed this !

31/08/2026: Delicious, unrushed service. The food was very tasty and flavourful. Flexible booking times and just lovely bathrooms. The charming young man charged all 3 of our phones today, on Monday :)

26/09/2026: Excellent place, very good quality fish and the chips are a real treat, I recommend it, very good place.

22/09/2026: I went there to try the fish and chips. The cola in the picture is very different, I recommend it. It appeals to us, but I can't say it was amazing, but maybe it's because we come from a coastal country. Try this cola, it's quite good. Also, as you can see in the photo I took from the restroom, hygienic products are offered free of charge. Very good, it's usually very crowded, the place is very small and limited, they don't let you in without a reservation, but I went alone so they were helpful. I don't know if it was peak hours, I went around 4:30 PM, you should still make a reservation.

23/07/2026: We had a very good dinner at this restaurant. The service was very friendly, they greet you with a smile and give you all the necessary explanations about the dishes. We liked the careful presentation of the dishes.

23/07/2026: The restaurant and the service was great but I was very disappointed of the seafood chowder, I don t find mussels suits very well on it, bits of shells are very hard to eat, very crunchy, I would say it s the worst one I ever eat, very cheap version of a traditional one

17/09/2026: A good place for the Irish breakfast. Despite the place being packed on a Wednesday morning, the service was super friendly and swift once a table opened for us. Bonus points for no QR codes

17/09/2026: We visited Dublin end of August. This little place is classic! The host got folks in and out from the queue and waited tables to boot. He was excellent but please note there was a quota on how many questions you could ask. Don’t ask for cream with your coffee. Just order a white coffee. I admit I asked way too many questions. So if you’re like Sally in When Harry Met Sally this is not your place!! Our waiter gave us his very best service considering his workload and ignored us when appropriate! The owner who we didn’t know anything about harassed our friend for not finishing her plate and implored us to get the —— out!! We loved it!! This is a greasy spoon kind of place, so if you’re looking for upscale and scrupulous just forget about that and go elsewhere. We do wish we got a photo of the owner with our friend. He’s the best…

18/09/2026: Well guided by the Routard guidebook, we spent a little while looking for the discreet entrance before discovering this large interior space. Upstairs, we were seated after ordering. Our brunch was enjoyable.

11/09/2026: The best cafe in Dublin. Handsdown!!!! Delicious!

15/09/2026: After a recent visit to Findlaters I was absolutely delighted with the experience. The premises is gorgeous, the staff were super helpful, friendly, attentive and pleasant. The food was well presented and really delicious.... What's not to love about Findlaters of Howth... We'll be back...

13/09/2026: Nice historical pub, expensive prices and was pretty busy, so all good for the cash register but I prefer quieter spots. Great views of the harbour.

03/09/2026: Really enjoyed my visit here, came on a weekday so it was nice and quiet. Lovely staff and excellent portions and tasty food. Classy decor.

02/09/2026: Fabulous dining experience at the Sandyford House- special thanks to our server Eva! Everything done with a smile and she even gave us a free dessert as we were celebrating a graduation. She made our night. Thanks!

06/09/2026: We love going to Ely for breakfast, drinks and food, so it was really disappointing to witness the service yesterday. An elderly couple sitting outside were being looked after so kindly by Michelle — she turned on the heater and made sure they were comfortable. Erik then came out, turned the heater off, and when we asked for it to be turned back on because the couple were freezing, he refused and said, “Can’t you see I’ve just turned it off?” We explained again that they were cold and just needed a few minutes of heat, but he dismissed it, said “It’s not that cold, they shouldn’t be cold,” and walked away. He never returned, even after 25 minutes. His mannerisms and attitude towards the elderly couple were genuinely shocking. It felt rude, dismissive, and completely at odds with the warm service we’re used to at Ely. It’s a shame, because we really do love the place — but this experience left us very disappointed.

25/08/2026: The wine and bites deals food components didn't appeal, but the standard menu eas great and thr wine list put of this World. Wr went simple as had a big day the next day, but I would definitely go back again

30/08/2026: Food was excellent the bream was perfectly grilled and the banquet cheesecake was memorable!

01/08/2026: We had booked a table here for Lunch before a show in the Bord Gais.. lovely enjoyable lunch and Conor was a lovely friendly server.

23/07/2026: Great, authentic atmosphere. Fair prices.

12/07/2026: We first picked it because it was near our hotel, but it quickly became our favorite hangout spot during our vacation. A very warm place with locals, away from the crowds and loud noise. Slainté!

13/09/2026: Great new addition to Dalkey! Popped in here with my partner and daughter this evening for a bite to eat. We had burgers, wings, chips and the youngest was delighted with the soft serve ice cream! Beautiful cocktail menu, lovely friendly atmosphere and attentive staff. A big step up from what it was before. Well done guys, look forward to coming back!

07/09/2026: We had our day 2 of our wedding here. Couldn't have enjoyed it more. The staff were fantastic, the food was beautiful and the atmosphere was amazing. Couldn't recommend it more. Thanks again to everyone for making our day extra special.

07/07/2026: We had an incredible dinner at The Saddle Room! After spending 2 weeks traveling in Ireland, we had lots of great food. This meal was definitely the best! Our server Ellen was so sweet and attentive. She gave great recommendations and was very kind to our 1 year old daughter. Highly recommended this place for a fancy dinner.
