There has been much fanfare with the opening of the restaurant, and its chef, Mikael Viljanen. Although only opened for several months, many are anticipating a Michelin Star from The Greenhouse. Unfortunately, The Greenhouse did not get a Michelin start this year, but they are definitely headed in the right direction. Chef Viljanen is very creative and many of the dishes have a molecular gastronomy spin on them. The restaurant is extremely small, only 40 seats. Eating at The Greenhouse is more of an experience, so they won't rush you out the door trying to turn over tables. With all of the recent publicity, trying to get a reservation isn't easy at the last minute. It is suggested that reservations be made at least one week in advance. I was fortunate to get a lunch reservation. I had tried to walk-in the night before, but there were no openings and the kitchen was closing. We decided to eat at One Pico instead and the General Manager there, Andrew, called The Greenhouse to see if they could squeeze us in the following day. He was able to get a lunch reservation, and the General Manager, David O'Brien, from The Greenhouse even came over to One Pico to introduce himself and said he was looking forward to us eating there the following day. We ordered the Chef's Choice Five Course Tasting Menu. The meal started off with an amuse bouche of a maitake mushroom cream puff. A perfectly light and crunchy cream puff shell encasing, a rich earthy filling of mushrooms. The first course was foie gras, royale and frozen, green apple and candied nuts. This dish is a grab bag of flavors, textures and temperatures. Pairing the earthy and velvety foie gras with the tartness of green apples, and the sweet crunchiness of nuts will keep your taste buds dancing and wanting more. The second course was a Jerusalem artichoke veloute with truffle oil. The soup is silky smooth. The truffle oil adds some richness and earthiness to the dish. A very well balanced course. The third course was cod, smoked mussels and cauliflower puree with hazelnut oil. The cod was cooked to perfection. Still slightly translucent in the middle, the delicate flavor rose right to the top. The smoked mussels were tender and did not overpower the cod. The cauliflower puree added some earthiness to the dish. A great way to start the meal. The fourth course was venison, pumpkin puree, roasted shallots and bacon. The venison was a perfect medium rare. The roasted shallots added some sweetness to the dish. The pumpkin puree added some earthiness, while the bacon added some saltiness and a textural contrast. The meal ended with a dessert of chocolate, carmelized onions, with sorbet and a mousse like dish, and milk solid crisps. The dish just did not work for me. The sorbet and mousse was strange to have as a dessert and was rather tart. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the ingredient and lost my notes, but it is something that is usually associated with savory dishes rather than desserts. To me it did not pair well with the chocolate. The menu at The Greenhouse is very ambitious and creative, but certainly in the right hands with Chef Viljanen at the helm.

The food was really good too, we tried the following: Tuna Tartar (~€13), my favorite appetizer here by far, refreshing and the flavors are balanced and great My friend got the cumin ribs (€36), fall off the bone, my friend loved it Friend rice cakes (~€8), I liked it, but my friend didn't like the sauce, it was too sweet for them Miso Salmon (~€15), super good, nice and refreshing Tuna Boa (€18), it was crispy, and all but it wasn't for me, like I didn't like it at all, the manager was great and got me a replacement that I preferred instead. It was refreshing to get American quality customer service here in Dublin. Truffle Fries with Parmesan cheese (~€6), it was good Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ginger Ice Cream and Miso Salted Caramel sauce (~€12), super good All in all will definitely go back, great food and night out.

We ordered off the "Early Doors Dining" menu which is available from 6 to 7.30 with excellent value at €19.50 for 2 courses or €24.50 for 3!! The flavours were amazing with tastes to suit all.....but the icing on the cake is W.O.W......Wine on Wednesdays. You get to bring your own bottle of wine and there is no corkage fee.....this is a great way to save money and still be able to eat in style!! The only down side to this is the possibility of over indulgence which ensures hangovers the next day! Definitely a must!!

I sat at the first booth. No one came to greet me. 3 white women came and sat down after me at the both in front of mine. Of course, they were instantly greeted by the server and orders were taken. My blood was boiling. I tried to sit at the table long enough because I wanted to read those employees and manager for filth but after 25 minutes of patiently waiting and not a soul acknowledging I was there, I left. This is the trashiest, most racist restaurant I have went to and that's saying a lot from a black woman from the US.

I emailed ahead to let them know we'd like to sit outside in the courtyard and that we were celebrating and they were very kind and set they'd reserve an indoor and outdoor table and we could choose which one to sit at when the day came.

They had set up a beautiful table for us with a happy anniversary banner and a happy anniversary balloon. It really made the moment very special for us. The staff were so kind to us the entire time. The outdoor space was so serene, and because we came early for afternoon tea - we had the entire space to ourselves which was perfect. The afternoon tea was delicious, the sandwiches were great, the pastries were great, and the desserts were great. My favorites from the menu were the cream cheese and dill pastries, the fancy ham and cheese finger sandwiches, and the eclairs. We also ordered two little Prosecco bottles to celebrate which were tasty. Everything was very reasonably priced as well, I highly recommend Old Music Shop for an afternoon tea!
