I always have such a lovely time here. There was a wedding scheduled for this evening and whilst I don’t know how it went, it certainly is a beautiful choice of venue.

I was very impressed with The Leinster overall. It is a very impressive building. The bar on the ground floor has beautiful decor. The service was excellent. I had a very tasty and enjoyable cocktail called Peach. It was fabulous. I will definitely be back for it again. We went to the 5 th floor then to the restaurant. It was a great experience from start to finish. Eric was the gentleman who greeted us on arrival. He was very friendly from the moment he engaged with us. He sat us to our table. The wine was outstanding. The menu was lovely. So much to pick from. Eric went through each dish in detail with us. He gave us so much time. He was very helpful. We had the Parmesan chicken. Fab dish. Mushroom starter was so tasty. Amazing. It was truly a lovely evening from start to finish. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thanks Denise.
