Feature 1: you avoid all the tourists while still getting a high-quality dining experience. Start with cod croquettes or Irish scallops, for instance, to kick off the experience nicely, or anything with truffle. The duck confit was nice, as is buffalo ricotta gnocchi, and any fish like roasted cod. These might not be on the menu your visit since things change daily/seasonally, but you'll still have good similar options. Feature 2: The staff are friendly and the environs cozy, especially on a blustery evening. Drink selection is just right, with something for most from cocktails to beer and wine bottle/glass choices. My colleague and I had a lovely time, and I'll return as oft as possible.

We came as a group of seven, and between the basement‑level space and the lively crowd, it was tough to hear each other. I'd absolutely go back, but next time with a smaller group so conversation doesn't feel like a sport. [A quick note for accessibility: the restaurant is below street level, so you do need to walk down a set of stairs to enter.] Food-wise, everything we ordered was excellent. Standouts - The warm gougères were savory, fluffy, and such a good start. The stracciatella from Puglia was creamy and fresh. The duck special with green pea risotto and asparagus was rich and beautifully cooked. The pasta special was decadent and perfectly cooked. And of course, the truffle and Parmesan fries were exactly what you want them to be -- crispy, aromatic, and addictive. Service was decent overall -- attentive enough, though not standout -- but the quality of the food definitely carried the night. Great spot, just be prepared for the volume. I'd return, especially for a smaller dinner where you can really enjoy the dishes without shouting across the table.

We came in as a party of three and all of us were just mind blown with every dish we tried. It sounds like they create a very seasonal menu, so this would be a wonderful place for you to visit multiple times! Our starters were gorgeous and each element had blasts of deep flavor. Extremely impressive. The entrees were even better. We very heavily enjoyed the vegetarian entrees because to make a veggie taste good you have to create something wild, and that is what they did. The cod was also incredible as well. Desserts, as expected were nothing short of perfect. We got all three that were on the menu and were more impressed with each one. Can't forget about the drinks! They crafted an INSANE vermouth and tonic that had so much depth we didn't even think was possible. I loved the orange wine they had too! I mean, I wish I lived in Dublin so we could have a date night here every season. This is not a place to miss out on. Sincerely, someone who loves good food and hates mediocre food.

The space is close, but that's not uncommon in restaurants in Dublin. Frankly, I'm not sure it would be possible to put more tables or people in this space.

We enjoyed the appetizers, the Goats Cheese and super food salad and steamed Irish mussels. They were very tasty. The Filet of Cod was good, not great. Ditto the Pan Roasted Kitchen.

Walked into the restaurant at around 17:30 and found the waitress chatting with kitchen staff. All tables were available and I was quickly seated. Environment: Wall and ceiling decor as well as table set-up were more classic/Georgian, but seats and cushions had modern vibe. Ample lighting. Music is a bit too loud for me. Service: generally friendly and attentive. Both my waitress and the bar man (?) came to ask about my feelings of the restaurant and the dishes. Drink: Old-Fashioned with Teeling single malt. Standard. A bit on the bitter side. Starter: grilled quail, quail egg, mushroom, and sauces. I was going for the scallop when I browsed the online menu, but apparently they added this dish so I tried it. Three pieces of quail meat (two breast, one tiny leg) was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a vibrant and nutty flavor. Mushroom and two types of sauces (sweet & savory) lifted the dish by adding that wild, outdoor vibe, bringing that forestry feeling to the mouth Entree: venison loin, venison croquette, mushroom, samphire, celery, and black pudding. Another surprising dish as it replaced the pork belly on the online menu, but a pleasant surprise again. Venison grilled to pink (medium rare), slightly charred on the outside, buttery, tender, with that beefy but less fatty bite. Mushrooms, puree, and sauces again did their job well. Another higlight of the dish is the samphire, adding a refreshing, crunchy, and briney seaside taste, adding more complexity to the dish. Croquette tasted good as well. The black pudding is a bit redundant; I am not sure if it is also made of venison ingredients. But overall, a well-thought-out dish. Dessert: Hazelnut and fig parfait, yogurt ice cream, chocolate mousse. Consistent, not too sweet, contrasting and interesting tastes from all ingredients. Overall: 4-4.5 stars. When it comes to the food alone, the place was perfect for me tonight. A meticulously designed menu,creative dishes, not-so-common ingredients, all the garnishes doing their job right, consistent in quality. However, given this is a fine dining restaurant, I would like to lift the threshold and address a few service issues. First, the online menu could be updated more frequently to reflect latest changes. Second, I hope there is a dedicated receptionist at the front so that the waitress need not worry about greeting and leading customers and sending dishes at the same time (I've seen her busy pacing around all night). Third, the music could be toned down, and new selections of music should be considered; given the overall decor, I'd rather have more classical background music than pop and electronic music.

It is a bit of a tight space but makes it such a unique and cozy space. For a set price, they have a menu (I assume it rotates based on what is sourced for the week or season?). We started with some olives, and some bread with duck butter "Navettes of bread/Achill Island Sea salt/duck butter". The duck butter was so good, I wanted to lick the serving container. I resorted to scraping as much out as I could. My starter was absolutely amazing. It was the "Foie gras crème/Brioche/apple/sauternes/grape". So delicious, I am still thinking about it. The main I had was the Skeaghanore duck breast. The sauce was amazing, however the duck was just ok. I think if it were sliced into smaller medallions, it would have been easier to eat. I struggled to cut it into bite sized pieces even though I was provided with a good knife. The 2 pieces were a hearty serving as well. It would be more palatable (I found it a bit tough) if it were presented with smaller cut medallion pieces (with crispy skin would be amazing!) I had tasted my friend's filet of prime Irish beef, and while it is a nice presentation, they both left their sides untouched. Overall, I feel like The Vintage Kitchen had a few hits and misses. Still fun spot to try out though! Desserts were amazing, we just were so full by then! The price at the time was €72 and although there were hits and misses, the portions served imho was worth the price.

Also to top it all some other customers who ordered the same thing after us received and ate their meals before we were even able to get ours. I would never want any of my friends to experience this since it tainted my experience in Ireland - avoid if you can :)
