I ate the salad which was ridiculously good!!! I HIGHLY recommend it! My son and husband both thought they're dishes were good. The wait staff was okay.

The flavours were amazing with tastes to suit all.....but the icing on the cake is W.O.W......Wine on Wednesdays.

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.

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 :)

With vegetarians and other conservative eaters in our party, we found this place a godsend for a midafternoon pre-Trinity-College-sightseeing meal. Actually, it's pretty good on its own merits. I've eaten at other Counters and I like the setup...but there are too many choices! Patty, bun, cheese, toppings, and sauce. So many options! But if you enjoy culinary creativity and/or control, you will not go wrong here. The sides are good too, except that they were out of fried pickles. Sad face. We enjoyed regular fries, sweet potato fries, and grilled vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their burgers, so the meal was a success. Ironically, The Counter has table service, so it's not quite as quick as you might hope. But their sodas are from a fountain (yay, American style) so you can get refills. Plus, a bonus--their soundtrack of classic rock and respectable 80s and 90s tunes inspired at least four individuals in our multigenerational group to sing at various times. Clearly, they are all about variety.

Giant bottle of Staropramen for a good price rounded out the positives attributes of my meal. Hubs' sweet potato fries were the 2nd best I've ever had (after the defunct 501 Club in Minneapolis). Unfortunately the rest of the meal was overrun with immense amounts of oil. My burger bun arrived. It was the color yellow and the consistency of a soggy sponge. That means somebody dipped it in Golden-Flo cooking oil before crisping it back up. Yes, it tastes delightful...the same way deep-fried Twinkies taste delightful. The guilt of eating it manages to cancel out the enjoyment. Also ruined by oil were the onion STRINGS. Confession: I thought they were onion rings. With just an 'R'. I was duped and disappointed when the STRings arrived looking all skinny and limp. Sure, they were promisingly covered in tasty batter...but as soon as I grabbed the first one, the underneath strings crunched the pile, which subsequently disintegrated into an oily pile of fried dough and stringy onion film on the plate. Not cool. The oil-to-food ratio ended up leaving me with hours of tummy feelings the equivalent to a brick buried in a pit thrown into a black hole. Had to take a dinner coma nap on the couch when I got home. Oh and I am from California so I am allowed to say this: For a California-based and California-themed restaurant, it feels nothing like California. This place feels vapid and sterile and I would never call California sterile. Vapid, maybe. Not sterile.
