Sol y Sombra
Killorglin
22/10/2025: It's so hard to know where to start with this review because Cliodhna and all at 10 Bridge Street completely and utterly blew us away for our wedding!
10 Bridge Street was the first venue we viewed after getting engaged and we just had a "feeling" there. The setting is absolutely gorgeous but it was our meeting with Cliodhna which really stood out to us! Cliodhna was genuinely welcoming and warm, and we could tell that she was excited about what she had to offer as a wedding venue. When we left that day, we both said that the venue was gorgeous but we were excited to have someone like Cliodhna planning and running our wedding! We viewed a couple of other venues but they came nowhere near the bar set by 10 Bridge Street.
Everything was so easy in the following 17 months of planning. Cliodhna and Adrian were easy to contact and really responsive. Cliodhna linked us up with Kingston's across the road for our drinks reception and again, this was all so easy and seamless. She also made excellent recommendations for local suppliers (flowers, cake) and did all of the coordinating with them prior to and on the day. As a stressed bride, this was so so SO appreciated! We were able to just turn up to our wedding and truly enjoy it. Nobody asked us anything or for anything on the day, but everything was just as we wanted it!
The attention to detail on the day of our wedding was incredible. The way everything came together and how it all looked surpassed all of our (very high) expectations. The decor, the ceremony set-up, the table settings... everything was just beautiful.
The food was sublime. We struggled to decide what to put on our menu because the choices were all so amazing! The canapes, the dinner, the midnight food....all of it was just perfection. The feedback from our family and friends on this point has been incredible. We keep hearing the words "best food I ever had at a wedding". It was all beautiful and there was plenty! The service was absolutely brilliant on the day. The staff were so attentive and couldn't do enough for us! They were personable and great craic, and really added to the atmosphere.
There is something special and unique about 10 Bridge Street, and we can't put into words exactly what "it" is. We are so happy we came across 10 Bridge Street. It was the perfect venue for us as a couple! The whole day was so relaxed and fun, as well as beautiful and exceptionally well coordinated. It had the familiar rituals of an Irish wedding yet was unique. Cliodhna is a perfectionist and the team in 10 Bridge Street are just brilliant. Thank you all so much for everything. It was the wedding of our dreams!
20/10/2025: We recently had our wedding at 10 Bridge Street. Everything was perfect for us - the food was fabulous and the setting was amazing. Thanks so much to Adrian and Clíodhna for everything they did for us on the big day and on the lead up to it!!

The Port House
Dublin
14/12/2025: All first class.
All types of beers on tap.
09/12/2025: The place is small, has a great atmosphere, and is centrally located. I recommend booking a table as it's quite popular. Between two people, we spent a total of €79, which is considerably more than I would spend at any other restaurant. The difference is justified by the fact that other options are junk food, while these are typical Spanish tapas. And very good ones at that. I will definitely return.
If you order croquettes, be aware that a plate of croquettes only comes with three.
The staff were very friendly, and we didn't have to wait long for all the dishes to arrive.

Pasta Bella

20/12/2025: An absolute gem, the food is delicious, full of flavour, fresh and the menu is varied to suit anyone from vegan to sea food or beef lover. Our Christmas party was spot on, great place to be for any occasion
14/12/2025: Best Italian food I've had in years. Service is friendly and efficient. Not expensive. What more could you ask for? Been there twice in the past month and will be back.

Port House Pintxo
Dublin
22/12/2025: Place has really gone downhill in the last few years, food quality is not what it once was and staff don’t really care
15/12/2025: We had low expectations of finding truly Spanish food, but we were pleasantly surprised. The food is quite good, although, since they only offer tapas, the portions were rather small. The price is reasonable for some dishes. The only thing I didn't like was the atmosphere... It's dark! I don't like eating in the dark.

The Grapevine
Kilkenny
10/11/2025: Everything from start to finish was excellent. Waiter was brilliant 👏 food delicious and great value. Location so central snd overall atmosphere was really great. 👌 can't wait to return. Highly recommend.
22/10/2025: What a fantastic experience at Grapevine Kilkenny! The atmosphere was warm and lively, the service friendly and attentive, and the food absolutely delicious. We tried several dishes, but the highlight for us was definitely the paella — perfectly cooked, full of fresh seafood, rich flavours, and that authentic Spanish touch that made us feel like we were on holiday. The tapas were all beautifully presented and bursting with taste, especially the prawns with chorizo and the patatas bravas.
The wine list is impressive too, with great Spanish options that pair perfectly with the food. The staff were so kind, taking the time to recommend both dishes and wines, which really made our evening special.
A wonderful place to relax, enjoy amazing food, and soak up the great vibe. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back soon!

Attico
Dublin
31/07/2025: We had an incredible experience at Attico. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely warm from the moment we walked in. The food was just as impressive: fresh ingredients, beautifully presented, and full of rich, authentic Italian flavors with a modern twist. Every detail, from the ambiance to the wine selection, was spot on. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality Italian cuisine in a relaxed yet elegant setting. Will definitely be back!
11/05/2025: Service was very slow and not great attention. We were a large party which we booked for and we had to move some to another table because it was so crmped

Port House Ibericos
Dublin
04/12/2025: Not great, cold food server was not attentive. Hour wait for food 20 wait for drinks. The dishes are something which you can just make at home with ease
Would recommend los tapas de Lola in town instead
01/12/2025: Cosy restaurant if eating inside, not so cosy on the terrace in November. This is especially true if you are seated waiting 45mins for just the wine!! When we asked for our said bottle of wine, the response was ‘we are very busy’ - in other words, ‘you are not a priority’. Eventually got our bottle of wine after asking a second time. Needless to say the food hadn’t arrived either by that time. In fact we nearly got a dessert!! Two waitresses made a great fuss bringing us a birthday cake with candles lit and song to boot - hungry as we were, we sent them packing to find the real birthday celebrant. The food was nice although the platter of cheese and charcuterie is much smaller than expected. they had v little wine stock, couldn’t order 2 bottles of same wine.
Suggest you don’t take bookings if you can’t look after them.

The Grey Goose
Drogheda
29/09/2025: Great food and staff. The best.
27/09/2025: It's a split business between "Grey Goosey Goose" and "IL forno... cation?...(Jk), with a little alleyway in between with some stools and tables smaller than usual in the hallway but it's visually interesting and not a typical space which is honestly refreshing as the alleyway leads to a small-ish area out back with a stairway up onto a balcony all around which I appreciated and led back down into the bar downstairs although their was a fancy event space/cocktail-ish bar upstairs for private events. The interior is very nice, just a really lovely interior with friendly staff with food served regularly which tbh looked quite enticing.

Yolo Gastro Bar & Grill
Kildare
08/12/2024: pizza was disgusting cold and chicken on pizza was not fresh it was auwfull and smelly we left bin thr pizza and drove home empty stomach
27/11/2024: Myself & my partner decided to visit this restaurant after not being there for quite some time. We were looking forward to it as food was always amazing & staff were lovely. How disappointed could we have been!!!When we went to order we asked the waitress did they still do the "lovely coleslaw" & she told us "no, the chef thinks it's too time consuming to make it" We should have left then!!!! We decided on the wings to share, which were clearly clearly taken out of the microwave & a small bit of hot sauce put over them. The main course consisted of my partner having greasy, heavily battered cod with frozen chips & I having the the part boiled pasta, tossed with boiled chicken & what seemed like a tin of condensed mushroom soup. No taste & absolutely zero effort put into each dish. The so-called "chef" should be ashamed of himself presenting food like this to paying customers. When we complained, the waitress (who to be fair was a lovely lady) understood & didn't charge for the pasta dish. Such a disappointing experience & as locals to the area, we won't be back.
