                                          Delicious carrot soup with super soft and yummy bread. Espresso macchiato could be improved but overall very good quality.

                                          lovely brunch , service very prompt and lovely smiling waiters however service is slow after you eat main course, i am a regular to Avoca Ballsbridge, managers could be more welcoming, smile and be happy to see you - slow to catch the eye of waiter when ordering coffees / desserts -they are very busy and close after lunch so i feel they want to get you out. Not much choice of salads or side salads on menu

                                          Slow service, a few things were not on the menu, the server never informed us. So we were let down while ordering. A staff member also dropped his cloths on the floor but proceeded to pick it up and continued to clean the tables. Menus were also grubby and had food on them. Disappointed for Avoca standards.

                                          Disappointed with only a brunch menu which was mostly egg dishes all day on a Friday, expected a lunch menu but we were told it was because it was Christmas. Several things were not available. Relaxing ambience and service. The food was nice and very generous portions

                                          Made a reservation for Christmas Eve. The menu was all over the place. I assumed it would have been more Christmas based or like foods but it was mostly breakfast items, service was slow and not very attentive. No need to go back.

                                          Beautiful cafe, nice food and the staff are nice and hardworking. My only issue was the noise. It was incredibly noisy. Empty dishes and cutlery are sorted at the front of the bar. This should be done in the back. I could see other customers reacting to the noise from this also.

                                          Very nice food but the service is shocking - SO SLOW.

                                          Full Irish breakfast not great. Rashers very very salty, and dried out as if cooked 2 hours before. Sausages seemed deep fried and pudding not great. Wpuldnt recommend
