    I was totally underwhelmed here. I was so looking forward to dining here as Dylan mc grath has achieved a Michelin star. The steak was nice, the fries tasted like they were cooked in very cheap cooking oil, really awful. The price did not reflect in the quality. The service was very slow, it was busy, but no excuse. You had to catch the attention of the staff to order a drink. Not ideal. The Rooftop bar is amazing, but drinks are overpriced. The best part of this experience was the building and the red walls. Thats it.

    The tripled fried fries were so dry and flavourless half our table didn’t eat them at all. Don’t get me wrong, their meats are delicious. The dessert menu was a bit disappointing too with some weird alterations to classic desserts (who puts soft prunes with crème brûlée) so we went with the ones that seemed less complicated and the portions were generous as well as good. Service wise, they forgot a few things several times. It’s a pity drinks are handled by the bar upstairs because that bar is always busy so it can take a while to get your drink, or it’s forgotten entirely and the poor floor staff gets to apologise for that. Noise level was high when we arrived as the rooms were full. It echoes quite a lot around so fortunately there’s no background music. It died down significantly as people left.

    the ambience is nice and the interior is cozy and all, but hey, its all about the food in the end! so.., the food is, a disappointment, just like all the other fancy restaurants in dublin :) asked steak to be cooked medium, but the one i got was basically well-done; the meat was very chewy and almost no flavour! ordered salmon and tasted like something i can get from tesco. please focus more on the food and less on the interior, maybe that would help :)

    Beautiful Christmas night in Fade street, the food and service was excellent. The place was very busy but our waitress was great at running through the menu and looking after our table.

    Service was so incredibly poor. We sat down at 1 and received our food at almost 2pm. Our mains arrived and sides took 10mins to come and it was all just a bit of a mess. The food was great but because it took an hour to get our main courses we didn’t get anything else. We were there for a special occasion and it was just a bit disappointing

    We were a table of 3 for 12:30 and got put into the far corner of a giant dining room that was freezing cold because the staff had left doors open. A further table of 3 arrived about 45 mins later and were seated at the opposite end to us, and then no one else arrived into the room until after 2pm when a giant office party arrived. So we were basically alone in the restaurant section for 80% of our meal. This despite the higher tier of the restaurant being busy and appearing to have good atmosphere. Unfortunately, despite being the only table in a giant room, the waiting staff were more interested in having a laugh with themselves, than coming over and seeing if we wanted anything. Bizarrely, the meal took nearly 2.5 hours to finish with long gaps between courses. There were a lot of items unavailable from the drinks menu. Starters were nice, and steak was tasty too. However, the chips were overcooked, the broccoli burnt and the mash was a pot of slop. The dessert menu was uninspiring so didn't bother to have any. Finally, when we got our desserts, the manager announced that they were under pressure for our table and would need us to finish up. This despite them taking so long to serve us throughout the
