Went to Gilbert & Wright in Malahide and have to say I would not be recommending it ever again…read more Buying my first glass of wine I was stared at by a second bar girl who asked me was I going to pay for my wine. I had already paid the girl that had served me?! On my second glass of wine and needed the toilet, while leaving my glass with a little wine in it. On arriving back from toilet my wine was gone. Mentioning this to the lounge boy he politely informed me he would check what had happened. A few minutes later and I get a visit from what this pub calls a 'manager' (name witheld) and apart from him being enraged, he simply denied that my wine was ever taken, then proceeds to shout over me and act in a very confrontational manner, squaring up to me while roaring into my face. This 'manager' guy at Gilbert & Wrights would not even allow me to politely articulate my issue. His default mode was shouting full denial into my face. Not wanting to get barred from here, I felt I had no other option but to forget about my wine and go purchase another glass at the bar. This review is not about a wine glass, it's about Gilbert & Wright's response to my very polite comment about their removal of my drink. For to be treated in this manner by their raging 'manager' is inexcusable and I will not be returning here any time soon. Gilbert & Wright Malahide please get your act together and stop insulting your customers. AVOID Gilbert & Wright Malahide at all costs.. AVOID !

A little background, Chef Oliver Dunne had a Michelin star/fine dining restaurant upstairs, but dropped the star and fine dining to focus on the brasserie downstairs. So I knew the food would be tasty. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted and our coats were checked. We were led to our table for 4 in the basement (I noticed the Tapas bar was very lively & busy before heading downstairs). Waiter was friendly; however, he seemed a bit overwhelmed and we would have to remind him of things. Food? Foie gras-tasty and unique presentation. I enjoyed this starter. Pappardelle-w/mushrooms & an egg. Delicious. Overall, my food was Very Good, but I did notice that my husband's fillet was not prepared correctly (he ordered medium rare and it was closer to medium well). I got the impression that he was disappointed with his entree. Thus, some hits and some misses. Finally, while waiting for a taxi that they ordered for us, we were given a tour upstairs where you can now host events. Seems a lovely setting for private events.

It was so noisy which i know makes me sound ancient but we were having a meal and I literally had to struggle to hear the person sitting next to me. There were also people dancing right beside our table which is really disconcerting when you are eating The food was nothing memorable either good or bad and it's not cheap. The service was very quick but annoyingly as soon as we finished our main course they brought us the bill with no offers of desert or teas/coffees. When we asked they said no that the kitchen was closed. This was a little irritating as we had not been there very long and they didn't tell us when we booked or ordered. I think if they take a booking for a table at 9PM then they need to keep the kitchen open to accommodate that. There was no apology it was just matter of fact. Don't think i'll be back

I went for the Chicken Supreme as I hadn't had it in ages plus the sweet potato and Cajun jus got me interested. The portion was pretty massive and the food was decent. Was disappointed with the sweet potato though, pretty bland tbh. So overall, it's okay but not worth the dosh doled out for me.

With the pan fried sole, the potatoes and vegetables were delicious. We sat on the enclosed patio and there were no barriers for a wheelchair to enter, and different seating areas. To get into the actual restaurant there is about a 3 inch step but once inside there is a wheelchair accessible bathroom on the ground floor. Since I'm ambulatory, I didn't ask to see if they had a ramp, a simple ramp would easily make that 3 inch step doable for a chair. we didn't have the calamari, but the table next to us did and it looked delicious, if we were to go back, we would probably get the calamari and fish and chips.

The menu goes through changes on a regular basis so old favourites like the ten euro steak deal, lasagne and southern fried chicken have been replaced with more exotic options like falafel and seafood tagliatelle but you'll still find safe bets like burgers and meat and two veg on the updated menu. I've never had a bad meal here, but I couldn't rave about it either. It does the job to be sure, but it always feels a bit weird eating here as it's more of a late night venue with a young clientele, so as an "owl fogey" it's a spot I tend to avoid after a certain hour so I feel these negative connotations may have coloured my dining experiences slightly!

The chips were especially good dipped in the gravy from the bangers and mash. It was also a nice touch to have individual packets of malt vinegar at the table.
