    When I think of beef stew, I think of my mom's homemade version. So one of the things I was most…read morelooking forward to in Ireland was trying authentic Irish stew. Our first meal in Dublin was at The Old Mill Restaurant, right in the heart of Temple Bar. It's been serving traditional Irish fare since the 1980s and has become a favorite stop for both locals and visitors looking for classic comfort food. After about a 20-minute wait, we were seated in the warm, inviting dining room. Susan ordered the mussels, one of her favorites, while I went with the Traditional Irish Stew and my daughter chose the Braised Beef & Guinness Stew. Both were exactly what we hoped for: hearty, flavorful, and perfect after a day of sightseeing. I finally understood why the Guinness stew had such a rich, dark color, and I have to admit, I came home a big fan of Irish stew. We finished with the Homemade Bread & Butter Pudding topped with fresh cream and custard, a comforting dessert that was the perfect ending to the meal. Service, atmosphere, value, and food were all five out of five. We also enjoyed chatting with the floor manager, whose pride in the restaurant and his team was obvious. That kind of hospitality made a great meal even more memorable.

    I wanted to love this place, but it missed in several areas. We had reservations and they were…read moretaking walk-ins. They told us our table was ready at the same time they were seating a walk-in. Our table was next to the window with decent space between tables, I saw the walk-in complain that where he was getting sat was in the middle of the restaurant with no space between the next table. He ended up just taking our table even with the waitress saying it wasn't his. They just shrugged and told us to sit in the middle. The mussels were good, and they had gluten free bread, but there were limited gluten free options, even the Shepards pie wasn't gluten free. I was hoping a mash potato topping would be available, but only the Irish stew. This had lamb, but also chicken, so you had to hunt down the lamb. The beef stew was good, but the overall experience and being squeezed in shoulder to shoulder made me feel like I stumbled into a tourist trap. I wouldn't recommend.

The whiskey sour was tasty & strong and the Guinness was smooth and perfectly chilled. I had been tentative to have lamb but we finally ordered it and wow was it the most tender and flavorful cut of meat. The sides and gravy were grand. I wish I had had my dog with me so I could give him the nice bone afterwards haha. We also ordered hot wings and surprisingly they were much better than what one gets in the states. The dessert was good and the bartenders helped us find a cue ball so we could play pool for a while. The atmosphere was nice because it wasn't a bunch of tourists but felt more like real suburby Dublin. We might go back to Ireland just to eat at this restaurant again :)

While we did not order dessert, the selections were broad and looked very tasty. After eating an excellent meal, we discovered the other end of the large restaurant had a full service restaurant, so there was more than cafeteria style available. The servers at the cafeteria line were cheery and fun to watch at work as they expertly served the plates to order and sent them down the line. Even with the large crowd, we had no trouble finding seating.
