    Dining at 1909 Restaurant in Dalkey was a delight. The warm ambiance, attentive service, and expertly crafted dishes made for an unforgettable evening. From the perfectly cooked steak to the indulgent desserts, every bite was exceptional. The live piano added a charming touch, making it a truly special experience.

    I think its fair to say this was our best ever visit to 1909. It was busy, but we enjoyed top class service, food - but the drinks stole the show. A fantastic night which everyone thoroughly enjoyed, we'll be back!

    A lovely evening out was had here. The staff were efficient and attentive, the food was beautiful and the mood was great too. There was just enough buzz without it being too loud, while keeping a Christmassy atmosphere. The turkey and ham was fantastic, as was the creme brulee. We will be back.

    We were a group of six squashed into a booth suitable to sit four comfortably. I was very disappointed as I had made the booking weeks in advance. The food and table service was good. We were next to food counter and there was a lot of noise which made conversation difficult. We had each brought a gift and we had to leave them at side of table we hadn’t room to have them beside us. So even though good was good, our experience was over shadowed by our being uncomfortable due to noise level and lack of room.

    This is a useful little restaurant within walking distance of Dart Station and with good parking nearby too. A useful place to meet. The staff are always friendly and the food is reasonably priced. There is a variety of lunch options from a quick lunch to a la carte and a good drinks selection. Water both still and Sparkling is included with the meal.
