Amazing restaurant with great food. I was very happy to spend my birthday dinner there.... Other than the host being rude to my friend for us being 4 minutes late to our reservation. read more

Delicious prawn starter and can't fault a nice Malbec but the Sirloin main didn't set the world alight which was disappointing. Will put it down to an off night but a little lacklustre compared to the recommendations I had received. read more

We were visiting Dublin Ireland looking for a first class steakhouse We walk in there with no reservation and we noticed they have a dry age meet steak . I ordered the prefix menu which was €55 and for the age meat wise €15 extra Which is fine and I ordered medium well When they serve the steak ribeye was completely raw meat and I send it back to cooking more and they bring it back the same way and the chef came to the table told me that way they're made a mistake or the medium and I told him Even the weather or the medium it was raw and at that point I already lost my appetite and I was walking to bathroom the manager with the blue coat was standing there talking shit about Americans having food trying to return to get a free food When I receive the bill they overcharge me drinks from other table to my check and they charge me all individual desert prices which was all inclusive with prefix menu If you're a tourist an American don't go to that restaurant. There's a lot of wonderful restaurant right on the same street Cheers read more

We had high expectations as Fire was recommended by friends who know great dining experiences. Service began well but soon slipped. Server took three drinks orders, forgetting fourth and disappeared. Finally took final one. Appetizers were fabulous. Ordered two price fixed options. Steaks pedestrian. Salads crammed into small bowls so hard to eat. Dessert was overchilled and pastry cardboard. Friends had flounder and lamb which were tasty. Then we waited for 25 - 30 minutes after we were done for waitress to reappear before asking manager for our check. It included an extra entree we hadn't ordered. 10-12 minutes and two managers' involvement later error finally rectified. No apologies and we're bid adieu by yet another manager who said "I guess you won't be joining us again." Odd comment to patrons who just paid 300 euros. Prior evening we had dinner at another iconic Dublin eatery for half the price and an infinitely better meal. They need less managers and more wait staff. A shame because setting is magnificent. read more

We stopped in for a before dinner drink on a very cold evening. The host asked if we had a reservation. We explained we would just like a drink and he offered to take our coats and then directed us into the lounge. This area is right off reception, and includes a Baby Grand player piano. A few parties were waiting there for their reservation to open. We chose to sit on a very comfortable sofa, strewn with throw pillows, facing the courtyard and street. The waitress came to take our order and asked for our reservation number. We explained we were there just for drinks. Seems the drinks you have here are added to your dining tab. Since we were not staying long, really just taking a break from the cold, I ordered from their 'wines available by the glass' list. My SO got his usual: a beer. The wine selection was fine. Not amazing, but I would expect the amazing wines to be by the bottle so I wasn't disappointed. We enjoyed resting our feet, warming our bones, gazing over the grassy yard as we sipped our beverages and enjoyed the piano. All the staff were exceptionally professional, friendly and courteous. There is a 'show case' in the reception area of some of the meats available in the dining room so if you are wondering, you can view them there. Also, if you have an aversion to eating meat, you may want to skip getting a beverage here as you have to walk by the case to get into the lounge. Stopping here was a much appreciated break from the crowds and noise of Temple Bar area just down the street. Not sure about the dining options, but for a relaxing drink, I wish we had found this place sooner. read more

Excellent steak and seafood restaurant. Both the inside and outside seating was very nice. The restaurant staff was nice and helpful. A little overpriced but great experience while In Dublin Ireland. I would recommend. read more

****Read this review*** First off, I always leave very fair and accurate reviews. I am not a snob or a person who takes pleasure in shitting on things. BUT.... For advertising yourself as the "Worlds Best Luxury Steakhouse".....Sir..... I must speak out The steak is falsely advertised as 35 day dry aged...... I am a steak connessoir and have dry aged prime beef myself in the past. It has a very distinct and bold flavor, immediately recognizable. Fire served poorly prepared food with terrible presentation. The grounds are stunning but my ribeye was bloody rare and had the texture of a garden hose left in the sun on a hot summer day. The waiter stopped by every 3 minutes to ask if we were finished so he could seat other diners. My wife's filet was like a sad hockey puck that had spent the last week in between a bums ass cheeks, smelled like a soiled jock strap after two a day football pats five in the Texas heat. Don't waste your time here or be fooled by the staged photos. It was a total disappointment and I wouldn't eat here for free. The "head chef" does the final plating in front of the open fire oven, which is beautiful btw but I watched him go bare handed from plate to plate rearranging the plating while simultaneously wiping his sweaty forehead I've had better meals prepared at an interstate truck stop read more

Well, it's actually 3 and a half stars. I passed this place out a dozen times on the way home from work, and I always thought, "Jaysus, that place looks fierce schmancy!" and I always thought i was too much of a pleb to even be allowed in let alone be able to afford to. I'm blessed therefore that my employers pushed the boat out this year for the Xmas party and decided to book a room upstairs just for Ulearn staff, so I was well-chuffed! When you enter, you walk pass a very pretty garden with a waterfall, and you feel like you are walking into the Big Brother House. It's all glass interior, glass and wooden decor and ambient lighting, and people inside were all well-dressed in their fancy clobber. I thought ,"Damn, I should've scrubbed up a bit more. I hope they don't clock my trainers!" I was gutted that when i saw a lovely Steinway grand piano right at the entrance that there wasn't anyone hired to tinkle away some pleasant jazz, like a proper-upmarket joint...but the playlist they had running through the system was decent enough,ranging form old school soul to funk and a bit of instrumental......all in all, I like the look, feel, sound and smell of the place. However, I wanted to get acquainted with the taste of the place (we all arrived famished!). This is where it gets a bit disappointing. There was a set menu, and i went for wild mushroom salad starter, artichoke gratin main, and a cheese platter for afters. There were very big gaps between the dishes, and it took a very long time to serve our starters, and the staff were a bit coarse. At one moment, my mate got a very pointed double-tap on the shoulder so that he'd promptly move out of the way so he could set the drinks down on the table. It really wouldn't have killed him to say excuse me. And I was very disappointed that they were very stingy with the fish in the fishcakes and the artichoke in my gratin. They did that thing that cheap-ass restaurants do which is to pad-out using more potatoes. Not good, considering it was a costly night. Overall, Interior fabulous, food pretty good but not mind-blowing, not the friendliest staff...so a bit overrated. But good. ish. read more

This is the first time I've set foot in a Mayor's house, let alone eat at one. Fire on Dawson is housed in a wing off the main dwelling of the Mayor of Dublin's house, and the building is impressive. Over 100 years old, with high ceilings and white tablecloths, you would assume this to be one of the best spots for that special business dinner...especially if the man is paying. It's not cheap, and I wish the food were better. I ordered their signature 10 oz fillet rare, as I always do. Mine came out medium, and I was tempted to send it back, but the wine was flowing, our party was laughing, and I didn't really want to hold up everyone else or eat by myself after they corrected the problem. And it wasn't only me...my co-worker next to me had the same issue. I guess suffering in silence was balanced out by the ambiance, but next time I won' t do it. Overall a mediocre experience that could have been a great one. read more

Oh baby I'm on fire; I'm on fire for your service, atmosphere & food. Don't you just loved to be treated? I was not allowed to pay the bill last night, which was unexpected especially since I was told to order from every course and several vodka and tonics were given to me. I got the fish cakes which were good; they weren't astounding. For the main course I had steak medium which was perfect, it had a side of pepper sauce & chunky chips with salad. Dessert was coffee and local produce ice-cream, perfecto! The most generous gal in the world, had the same main and chocolate mousse for desert, it was so decadent and the presentation was wonderful... Actually the presentation of all the dishes was top notch. Service was superb. The manager herself made the rounds of the tables and got our drinks. It really started to fill up after 9pm with lots of people who like to be looked at with a smattering of Irish celebrity... Oddly enough I didn't get starstruck (I'm being facetious). The best touch was when the hostess took our coats and they have a heater under the coat rails, so that when you leave you are nice and toasty for the Dublin damp. The tab for the meal plus cocktails made me shudder but my hand was slapped away repeatedly. read more

This is really a 3.5 star rating as it's better than a 3 but not quite a 4! I booked this restaurant as it looked fantastic with a great atmosphere. The decoration and lighting in the building is lovely and it really has the wow factor as you walk up the path. As we sat at the table, the whole thing wobbled and a waiter had to wedge a bit of paper under the pillar. Our water for the table was lukewarm & tasted of chemicals! In terms of the food, both of our meals were tasty and of good quality BUT nothing special. For the price and environment, the food really should have matched. Luckily we ate from the pre theatre meal so we weren't too annoyed that the food wasn't amazing. I think that this restaurant has to improve the quality and presentation of the meals in order to justify the price. The staff were friendly & attentive. read more

Oh My Goodness! What a find! Absolutely beautiful from the first step into the lounge, to our wonderful table in the main dining room. Cozy little corner where we could observe the entire dining room. Our Server Becky was quite knowledgeable with descriptions of plates and recommendations based on our desires. We had filet and sirloin. One of the best meals we've had in Dublin. Definitely 5 star for atmosphere, Clientele, and delicious food! Highly recommend. read more

Wanted to go somewhere new and special and found Fire highly recommended. We were looking some good meat and found their steak menu comprehensive. There was also an intriguing set menu on offer but we decided to order the prime rib for two. This turned out to be a delicious tender cut of meat cooked to perfect and seven with delicious pepper cream sauce and mustard Mayo. The side was delicious bacon and potato cubes and we also got some creamy mash! Accompanied by a bottle of Spanish house red it was highly enjoyable and there was a great buzz in the restaurant. The staff were courteous and professional and this led to an overall enjoyable evening. Highly recommended. read more

FIRE Steakhouse & Bar - The delicious prime rib for two! - Brasseries Near Me - Dublin, D

Really disappointed about fire. Have been wanting to go here for so long. At first I thought wow when I entered the restaurant. A huge hall like layout with great features all around. But after a while with the noise, I felt like I was in a work canteen. I had goats cheese brioche for stater. It was tiny and burnt on the bottom. Really not on for €9. The fillet steak was nice and the béarnaise sauce. But It was served with 5 chunky chips and a soggy Mayo rocket and Parmesan salad. We shared a cauliflower gratin which was also burnt on top. Very disappointing and I will definitely not return. I filled out their comment card that they left with the bill I so will see how they deal with unfavourable comments. read more

FIRE Steakhouse & Bar - Brasseries Near Me - Dublin, D

Fire is an enormous restaurant, almost too big to be able to enjoy an intimate meal. I was with a big group but it immediately struck me that had I been with one or two other people then I would have felt that any closeness would have been lost within this gargantuan space. It is the colossal space that really struck the largest cord with me, more so than the quality of the food. The great space therefore, much to the restaurant's detriment, steals any foremost concentration that should be put forward away from the superiority (or not) of cuisine. That's just it though, I can't really comment in any formative sense on the quality of cuisine. It took a back seat in light of the overwhelming surroundings. We spent a long time in the cosmopolitan outdoor seating area at the front of Fire owing to cigarette breaks from the food and also to take some photos. This outdoor area hints at the style that pervades throughout the imposing interior and the spacious dining room. It is slick and successfully blending a sophisticated modern feel within the historical setting of the building. read more

Wahooo!!!! What a place - I came here for a work dinner and really wasn't expecting it to be so beautiful. Not only the food but the decor when you walk in kind of takes your breath away!!

This place has been on my list for a while and when we visited here I had high hopes as I'd heard lots of good things. We chose from their pre-theatre menu and I'm glad we did as the food was just ok and I left a little disappointed. I had prawns to start then chicken. The setting is lovely but it was kinda empty so it lacked atmosphere. Like I say it was OK but I wouldn't go back. read more

Steak house looks Nice from outside we walked in without reservation, we were seated right away. I ordered aged prime rib cooked medium well but came out completely raw I returned it and second time still came out same way. It was part of the pre fix meal. I returned and couldn't wait for 3 rd times because my family finished dinner. I canceled my dinner they still charged me starter and dessert that was supposed to be set meal. Plus they charged us Heineken beer which I didn't order. Not recommended!!! read more

Was really looking forward and excited to dine here while on vacation. My girlfriend and I had looked this place up and made a reservation for me, her, and her brother. We all thought it looked beautiful, which it was, and the food was good, but the service was non-existent. We were sat and waited about 20 minutes and then the server walks up and says "ok, you ready to order?" It just kinda threw us all off. We definitely had some questions and would've loved someone to explain the flavor difference between their dry aged or their marinated cuts, or even give us some cocktail recommendations but that didn't happen at all. We ordered drinks, and then she stood there just looking at us. I let her know that we needed a couple minutes to decide. About another 20 minutes go by and she returned with our drinks, set them down and said "ok, ready to order?" By now I was beginning to wonder if she spoke English at all. We did ask questions but she couldn't seem to answer them so we just pointed at what we wanted on the menu and she rang it in. We didn't see her again until we were halfway finished with our meal. She never checked in to see if everything was to our satisfaction or anything. She would awkwardly walk by and look at us and keep walking. When we were finished, she did her awkward walk by, walked all the way down to the end of the row of tables, turned around and came back to clear the table, said "thank you" and we didn't see her again. After about another 20 minutes I stopped someone that looked like he might be a manager and asked for the check. He brought it over to us so we put our cash in it and walked out. No desserts, no after dinner drinks, we were over it by that point. As we walked out the door we passed our server and another guy who may have been another manager and I heard him ask if we had paid. She responded with "no" and they both walked into the dining room, I'm assuming to go and check. Well of course paid and if the server actually provided the type of service that is expected at a nice steak house that this place is trying to be, she would've known that. Extremely disappointing experience for a place that looked like it was going to a memorable dinner. Now it's just memorable for being a disappointing one. read more

Fire is great for a really nice meal. It's part of Dublin's Mansion house - for non locals this is where the Mayor of Dublin resides - and the room itself is pretty spectacular. It has really high ceilings with a great big stone oven as a feature point, where you can see the chefs cook speciality dishes like the wood fired jumbo prawn. Now it is on the pricey side. A two or three course meal for two with wine would set you back about €120. But I think the food is great - some friends think its only ok and overpriced, but I am happy to pay for good food and good service. The staff can't do enough for you and the setting is just really lovely. A great place for a date. Ps, definitely try the steak! read more

I was at a catered event here, and really enjoyed the experience! The menu was simple, but well executed considering the vast amount of people. My only criticism (which was enough to deduct a whole star) was the placement of tables. We were placed dangerously close to steps, and my friend kept having people push up against her seat to try and get by. read more

Walked right in.  The bar is hip and the grounds are beautiful.  Atmosphere at dinner is tops and would be awesome for any date or special occasion on the town. Spendy, but the food and service well worth the cost. Set menu or A la carte. Had to slow down the servers since they expected me to me in a rush. Tried the watercress soup, Irish sirloin, and white chocolate / raspberry cheesecake.  Wow. So much food, I could almost not finish! read more

FIRE Steakhouse & Bar - Brasseries Near Me - Dublin, D

Pretty restaurant that was recommended by several people. Sadly, the food was mediocre. We ordered martinis..,they were out of olives. Ordered the dry aged steaks on the menu. They were out. The 6 oz filets were the only comparable item. They came out looking like they were steamed..,not grilled. No seasoning or flavor. Wine list was middle of the road. Server never looked us...just typed our order into her iPad. I would not recommend if you are looking for a foodie experience, read more

It was ok. Put us in a spot where we had no air flow. It was so hot that I stopped eating my appetizers and barely ate my dinner. Gave my glass of wine to my son to drink. Waiter didn't explain the menu at all and we sat there for at least 10 minutes. Didn't greet us just said are you ready. We had to fill our own water and wine. Barely saw him. Didn't pre-bus at all and didn't bring out our entire order. Had to flag him down to get salt & pepper. For these prices the waiter needs to learn how to wait tables at a finer establishment. Was to be a great night in Dublin before flying home tomorrow. But no we got so so food with horrible service. read more

hmm.. This is a tough review to write. I would characterise the experience that myself and the eight other diners I was with as decent with mostly negative over tones. In summary, good, though inconsistent, food at a high price provided by very poor, inattentive and rude service. Starting off on a positive note, we were able to secure a reservation for nine folks both quickly and easily - for the evening of the same day that we made the reservation. Having dined at Fire about two and a half years earlier, I was delighted to see the finished product of the renovations that were going on when I first dined. The completion of a waiting and bar area on the ground floor was quite nice, felt comfortable and enabled early arrivers a nice place to gather while waiting for their full party to arrive. Getting to our table was also quick and easy, with a nice transition from the ground floor, up an interesting staircase, opening into the very large and open dining area. Once seated, things went down hill... Our server quickly delivered menus and then disappeared for 5-10 minutes, before coming back to take our order. No specials, no introductions ... and no wine list... Upon inquiring, we did receive the wine list and then just as quickly asked "What do you want to order?" Quite rude. After placing our order (a mix of a la carte and set menus), we were presented with a nice assortment of breads and spreads. Really good. Both the freshness of the bread and the great flavour of the spreads was a nice way to start. Appetizers for those that ordered arrived reasonably quickly and the consensus across the board was that they were decent. I ordered the French Onion soup, and it was quite delicious, a good balance of beefy flavour, onions and sweetness. A not too salty, a common problem I have seen with this soup. After the appetisers, we experienced a long wait (45 minutes or more) for entries to appear. Our server was very inconsistent in bringing our entrees with a duration of 5-10 minutes before they fully arrived at the table. As an aside multiple servers were rude in reaching in front of the diners to place entries, pour wine, remove finished dishes, etc. All this while sitting at a round table with access almost 350 degree access around it! No reason to reach in front... While the entrees we ok, there were several that missed the mark. Good on flavour but clearly plated too early. Fish that was lukewarm in the middle while sitting on a burning hot plate as an example. After another long delay with the entrees it was time to move on to desserts. Desserts were ok, however we saw extremely long serving time. While my dessert arrived with the first group, my wife's dessert didn't come out until at least 20 minutes later... And she had the same dessert as another guest whose dessert arrived alongside mine! Coffees and dessert wines also came out very inconsistently in timing, some prior to desserts and some 15-20 minutes later... Closing out our bill was ok, nothing memorable nor any real issues. As I said, I think the food overall was good, though definitely pricey, but the service was clearly lacking... read more

In my opinion, there isn't a better place to go as a group in Dublin. The service in Fire has always been excellent and I've been there 5 times over the past 2 years. The waiters are both friendly & attentive, service has always been prompt. Fire is very spacious but I think it adds to the atmosphere. I've only been as part of a group and I've never been disappointed. My favourite appetizer would have to be the Moroccan Spiced Lamb Skewers and for main course the Hereford Prime Aged 6 Oz Fillet Mignon. I will be back again soon as we have a birthday coming up - might give the monkfish a try as it received a thumbs up on the last outing. read more

Fire for your Euros Price: This is mad dear for what you get. I guess you could spin this positive and say it keeps the undesirables away... Atmosphere: It has a rather classy atmosphere. I liked it very much - though it isn't going to rival the finest of the fine. Service: The service was top notch, though one small irk. I don't much like it when the hostess inquires 'how long it will take us to eat because she has a reservation an hour from now.' - I don't spend or attend a place like this to be rushed. I think it's a bit rude of a question. A hostess should host and plan the seating accordingly...inquiring how fast I'm going to eat is just too much. Food: The food was above average, but the portions were quite small. My colleague ordered some pasta and it was more like a starter. I ordered the steak and it was made to perfection. The waiter brought me a horseradish sauce and the hollandaise because I was unable to make up my mind. There were five of us having dinner that evening. We had some wine and cocktails. It was pleasant enough, but the bill was quite staggering considering the portions and quality. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad food - but it wasn't wrapped in 14kt gold foil either. There was little culinary reasons to justify the high expense. Our party will not return (though we do get a good laugh when we joke about going back.) read more

I went to Fire last night for my birthday, and after reading the reviews beforehand, I was very excited. The lounge of Fire is beautifully decorated and has a nice atmosphere, however that is where the positives end. A friend I was meeting was late to the restaurant, so the rest of us ordered drinks, which after 15 minutes were still not there and had to follow us up to the table. We ordered starters and mains from the normal menu. I got French Onion soup which was good and very filling and others ordered lamb skewers and goats cheese which they seemed to enjoy. We were handed a large wine menu, however the descriptions for many of the wines was the same. When I asked the waiter as to the differences between the wines he said he didn't know. When I asked if he could find someone who did know he said yes, but then never returned. Another waiter took over our table, who also did not know any details on any wines and did not offer to find anyone who did. He leered over us until I finally chose a mid-priced wine then curlty said "good choice." The service was painfully slow, and small details were off. Instead of giving each of my companions the type of sauce they ordered to go with their steak, they gave everyone pepper sauce. The steaks and fish were fine, but bland and had no special qualities to make them worth the €39 euro for each. They never refilled our water. When the check came, I asked as to whether anyone had ever found anyone who knew about the wine list and the waiter unapologetically said no. If you're going to spend your money on a nice meal, I would suggest going somewhere else. read more

Yet another eatery in the grounds of the Mansion House but unlike the previous 2 incarnations this one has legs! - even in these times of financial drought I can't see this place going out any time soon! The dining room - and really that should be spelt in capitals is HUGE, with a ceiling that is so high it makes the room look even bigger than it is, this should make it cold and impersonal (as indeed did with the previous 2 places here) but the layout is clever enough so that you really don't notice it. The food is really not bad at all though not exactly cheap either, however the desserts I remember were nothing to write home about, so if I have advice...and I do, go for the cheese plate! I have no idea of costs as it was a company do so 'the man' paid for us... nice when you can get it! read more

3 stars because the food is excellent; however the service is terrible. Don't expect to be asked if you would like any drink refills, or to get your empty dishes removed promptly, or to get your check promptly. Expect to spend 2-3 hours just waiting around to get these things. But when the food comes, it is amazing. Also an incredible atmosphere. Beautiful inside with great ambience. read more

Went here when a friend was visiting recently and what a great night was had. The food is good, the service is fast and efficient, and the desert is the stuff of legend. read more

The food was good, but not great. And at these prices, it should have been amazing. I had a good soup and I had the monkfish dish, which was also good. But holy heck was this monkfish dish expensive, and you only got three tiny pieces of monkfish. And 3 pieces of asparagus. And some bland mashed potatoes. The place is huge, garishly decorated, and you see how expensive the overhead must be. So it's no wonder they charge so much. But really, you can get much better food for much less, without all the pretense. Plus, my waiter was creepy, and also not a very good waiter. For these prices, the service should be impeccable, and impeccable, it definitely was not! read more

Not sure what's holding me back from 5 stars here to be honest. Food is fantastic, service is fantastic, drinks are fantastic... I've been here twice now for two different kinds of meals. First was ordering from their a la carte menu. I had a prawn cocktail type dish (though it wasn't a traditional prawn cocktail), pork & sorbet for dessert. The prawn cocktail was both delicious & visually amazing. Huge big prawns displayed like a giant claw waving at me from the dish! Loved it. The pork was moist but not fatty. Very well cooked. The sorbet was about the best I've ever tasted - my husband & I have a rule where we're not allowed order the same food at the same meal & it's safe to say that my dessert won! The second visit was for their Sunday Roast. They are not kidding when they say it's the best roast in Dublin (sorry Mammy). We had the chicken which came with stuffing, vegetables, mashed & roasted potatoes and gravy. It was honestly beautiful! The mash was creamy without turning into a complete mush, the roasties were cooked in Drippings so you got the delicious deep fried flavour without all the grease, the chicken was cooked to perfection, moist throughout and full of flavour & the vegetables were the right balance of cooked & still crunchy. On both occasions we still had a good amount of wine left at the end of our meal but the staff didn't approach us to make us feel rushed & we managed to enjoy our wine while relaxing. There's a lounge downstairs for pre or post drinks (we did both). The give you popcorn with your first drink & the service is quick without being rushed. The atmosphere is just so relaxed but without being slow. The decor is modern throughout, with the exception of the ballroom which is still in it's original condition - maintained meticulously I'm sure. Definitely worth a look in. Possibly my new favourite in the city! read more

I am a regular here so love it but brought 6 friends who hadn't been but have heard me talking about fire for long time . Had lovely cocktail at bar the before we went to our table . Staff friendly and excellent . My friends where impressed by the decor which from the minute you go in is fab. Got the best fish cakes in ireland , partner got new tiger prawns which where also fab. Again I am a regular so went for my steak with chunky chips , excellent . Finished off with the delicious cheese cake . I can recommend this pace for any occasion and you will enjoy from minute you walk in until you walk out , they have music in bar at evening so recommend finish off there . Thanks to Katherine who sent me over glass prosecco for my celebration . She is so welcoming and always has a big hello . Can safely say FIre has 6 new fans ! And of course I'll be back . read more

The best part of this place was definitely the setting -- it's a beautiful room, formerly part of the Dublin Mayor's residence. The steaks were properly seasoned and prepared as ordered (medium rare). The starters were bigger than I expected -- the corn & tomato chowder was a BIG BOWL of soup (pretty filling too). Nice flavors though. I wouldn't necessarily recommend trying something 'innovative' here -- stick with the basics, and enjoy the nice ambience. I didn't think the pricing was unreasonable, especially for a 'date-night' place like this. read more

I've been several times to this restaurant with my friends and must say i love it! I felt like a queen in the palace,very posh very luxurious design,however well affordable, enjoyed my steak there with a glass of red wine. This restaurant is absolutely perfect for celebrating special occasion or for a first romantic date to impress a lady! Also very central! Right on Dawson Street,perfect for those travelling on a green luas line into town. read more

Love the location, the setting and the views at this place! Really nice and a great spot for winter and summer days/nights. For starter I got the goat cheese, which was amazing. Full of flavour and a nice combination with the honey and beet root. I have also tried the fish cakes and they were delicious - wouldn't know what to take next time! My steak was good, I got what I ordered and the portion was quite big too. Something was missing though, it was a boring dish for such a highly recommended place...it was very simple and I reckon I could get the same quality in a good pub too. The fried onions were weird, nothing really exciting. One downside is the fact, that I got white wine and it wasn't chilled enough, what's the issue there? No enough fridges? I am kinda between the 3 and 4 stars but have to stay with 3 with potential to 4! Fire, surprise me when I am coming next! read more

Great experience. I had a lamb skewer starter with a morrocan curry twang and a Hereford steak cooked blue. Beautiful. Was with 6 friends and the table was brilliant. On a small balcony looking over the restaurant with efficient service. I tasted the other guests food also (mussels, duck, hake, pasta ravioli etc.) and all was spectacular. The starters are perhaps a little costly at an average of €11 - €12 but the mains are reasonable and all is well worth the money. The total bill for 6 of us was about €340 - for six starter/mains; 6 beers; a bottle of pinot noir; a glass of chivet regal scotch and a glass of glenmorangie scotch and a cappuccino. Not bad at all! Highly, highly recommended read more
