If you're looking for a dinner of Irish FOOD go here. It was quiet so you could hear each other talk. No Irish music. Not necessarily an Irish environment. Staff couldn't do more for you! read more

Table of eight called ahead and they were very accommodating, and the food was delicious!

upstairs restaurant...great food. we all loved what we got. nice portions. right in the Temple Bar area. i recommend. It gets busy

Well it's official...I was trapped...TOURIST TRAPPED. Normally I would look at a place like this in an area like this and know better but you Yelpers with your 5 star reviews had me convinced that perhaps I was being a bit too judge-y. Well I wasn't. Not a single local in there and the food was overpriced and bland, albeit plentiful. The best part of the meal was the bread and butter. The chips someone had at the table next to me looks straight out of the freezer section as did the chicken fingers (though unsure what would have inspired someone to get those here). I will say the staff was nice and the Guinness was good. Otherwise I feel bamboozled. Lesson learned and I will not be trapped again. read more

Traditional Irish dinner done just right. Fish-n-chips, Cottage Pie, Guinness and a shot of Jamison Crest 10. Great menu of classic dishes, huge beer and wine list. Music and laughter filled the room. This was a nigh to remember. read more

We enjoyed dinner at the Old Mill. It's very small and crowded, but the service was outstanding.

The Old Mill is a bustling Temple Bar restaurant that has some very good food. The menu is expansive, and I've only visited once, but my wife enjoyed her beef and Guinness Stew quite a bit, and I thought the creamy seafood chowder was among the best I've ever had. Service was friendly. Expect crowds and a relatively noisy dining experience (but in an area crowded with packed pubs, The Old Mill may be a bit quieter than a lot of other options up and down Essex St/Temple Bar/Fleet street party zone. read more

Randomly stopped in here while looking for food at 9pm in Dublin. Glad we did. While it's clearly a place for tourists, the food is great and the servings are American sized! It's a good value for your money and a great place to hit up if you want "traditional" Irish food clearly designed for tourists. My only complaint was that the desert was lack luster. read more

Food was meh. I've eaten better in the states. Service was beyond excellent. Spot is compact with people queuing up the stairs.

DELICIOUS!! We were skeptical at first, thinking that this restaurant might be another tourist trap restaurant.. Buoyyyy! We were wrong!! The nice guy greeted us and gave us brochure and convinced us to try. Best thing I ever did while in Dublin! We tried the Braised Beef and Guinness Stew!! Delicious! The beef was so tender and it is just perfecly seasoned!! It has carrots and potatoes but mostly filled with beef generously! We will definitely come back! These guys know how to cook perfectly.. btw.. the service was so great.. full of friendly people. We are truly tourists from Long Beach, California and just want to thank you for great food and great time! Thanks! read more

Got seated quickly and food was good. Had lots of options on the menu and they all looked tasty

Both the service and food were stellar! I cannot recommend this place enough. We were a large group and it was our first night in town. They were not only extremely accommodating but they were so friendly and interacted with our group with a wonderful sense of humor and attentiveness. The beef and Guinness stew was amazing as was the fish and chips. Don't miss this one! read more

The chicken pasta and garlic bread was to die for . The service was great and fast. Very nice pub . I definitely recommend.

Great food, friendly service, and good atmosphere I had the burger, it was cooked perfectly

This appears to be a touristy type place, but I decided to give it a try and had a very pleasant meal. I got there about 10:45 am and though I'd either have breakfast or an early lunch. At that hour, though, all they serve is breakfast. I got the full Irish breakfast, which was very well prepared and filling. It included tea and coffee and was 10 Euros. The restaurant is small and cozy with tables very close together. When I got there it was almost fully packed, but I was glad there were a couple of vacant tables. Service was very friendly and reasonably quick. This was a real nice place to stop by. read more

Fantastic food in Dublin. The food was delicious and the service was great. They have a great dessert menu as well.

Where to start... the food was inedible. Burger was dry and tasteless, hard to mess up a burger. Also, we ordered the beef stew, beef was beyond chewy but flavor was ok. What really ruined it for us was the service. We asked for the check and didn't receive it and had to ask again. They really are overly pushy with tipping, we left a tip via their tipping platform QR code and was reminded by the server again after doing this. The waiters seemed bothered by taking our orders at the very beginning. Don't go. read more

We really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service here! The Cajun chicken sandwich is excellent! The first time we came here, the people at the table next to us recommended this sandwich? Indicating it was their second time there because they loved it so much. We found ourselves going back again, too! The vanilla ice cream was also delicious. read more

We enjoyed a good stop for lunch. On a beautiful sunny day, the outdoor patio was slammed so we climbed up the stairs to the second floor pub and enjoyed a fine lunch of lamb stew and bangers and mash with a couple beers. The price point was good and the quality good. read more

Wonderful first meal as we started our Ireland adventure. We had Fish n chips and Guinness Stew, both were amazing. My husband tried fish and chips at another restaurant and wasn't nearly as flavorful. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. Such a great vibe and very clean. It's small so I could see it being hard to get into later in the day. Highly recommend read more

This was our first dinner out in Dublin and what a great first impression. The seafood chowder was flavorful and delicious, we are from New England and know good chowder. The beef stew was great and the fish and chips was great as well. Only neutral review I can give os the burger was just ok. Will definitely go back. read more

great food in a wonderful athmosphere with good service. Well worth a visit

A little bit touristy but non the less authentic, traditional Irish food. Prices were good. $5.50 for a pint of Guinness, woohoo! Ingredients were fresh and good quality. Cute establish with lots of Irish decor. Our waiter was nice and super funny. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere in the tourist district. Friendly staff. It's a small place but worth the wait.

Really great place to visit with great enviroment

they have the greatest burger I've ever had in my entire life be sure to add to the Dubliner burger, cheese, and egg and maybe bacon if you're feeling like it read more

One of the best meals we had in Dublin. Called ahead hoping for reservations. Arrived a few minutes early and they seated us as soon as a table opened up. There were people waiting in line, but they didn't have to wait too long either. The place isn't easy to find, but you have to look for the door with the sign above it and then walk upstairs to the restaurant. Very cozy space. We shared some mussels and they came out fresh, hot and juicy in a nice sauce that wasn't overwhelming. My husband had the irish stew and said it was very good. The beef was tender. I ordered the salmon and prawn pasta. It was sooo good I wish I could have finished it. The service was excellent. read more

This place is amazing. Great atmosphere. Service: the staff from the servers to the bartenders were all very friendly. They even gave me tips for getting around the city and asked me if I wanted any local suggestions. Food: I had some of the Irish Stew and it was absolutely amazing. My main course was the cottage pic and also delicious. The group next to me had the irish breakfasts. I didnt ask them to try it but they did tell me it was delicious. Several traditional options here. Price - my bill was 15.00 euros for a pint and a huge meal. I think its priced incredibly fair. Dont let the fact that it's in a touristy area put you off. The food is traditional and delicious and worth stopping in for. read more

During the weekend, you have to order a main entree. I got the bisque and mussels combo. Both tasted good and the portions were big! Good enough for two people. The sauce that the mussels are cooked in is great for soaking your bread! It has a lot of seating but be prepared to wait if its the evening on a weekend. read more

Went to the Old Mill Restaurant since we were in Temple Bar area and wanted to try authentic corned beef and cabbage hash. Didn't expect the dish to be what it is (imagine the typical American corned beef made around St Patrick's day, yeah, not the same at all!) - but I didn't regret this dish since it was very, very good! The dish was 15.95euros which included free potato leek & brown bread (the soup was delish!) My friend had their regular cheeseburger and fries fish, also very good. Try the curry spring rolls, which tasted a lot like samosas. Don't ask for water-they will give you the fancy bottle which will cost you 2.75euros!! Ask for tap water instead. Very good location in the heart of Temple Bar across from the courtyard. Definitely check it out! read more

The Irish Coddle was good, and the Guinness was generously poured here! It was a 10 minute wait before the major dinner crowd, but was a solid stop after a day exploring the city! read more

Maybe it's because this was our first meal in Ireland, but the Old Mill gets my recommendation! Yes, it's in Temple Bar (i.e. Dublin's answer to Bourbon Street), and yes, later in the evening they'll have someone outside imploring you to come in for dinner. Ignore all that, head upstairs, enjoy a pint, and sample the traditional Irish menu. Fish and chips are available (of course), Shepard's pie, Irish stew, bangers and mash. They also have burgers, steak (all Irish beef, naturally!), and seafood. Enjoy! read more

I love the energy in the Temple Bar area but have always been somewhat skeptical about finding good food there because it seems totally touristy. Well today I found a gem of a place. The Old Mill. Wednesday evening, I expected to get in like Flyn. But had to contend with a rather long wait. Several times during the wait I considered leaving to go somewhere else. But my patience paid off. I can tell you that the Traditional Irish Stew was, by far, the best I have ever had. Succulent pieces of lamb, al dente carrots and potatoes in a heavenly stew. What else can you ask for. The staff, each and every one, was attentive and friendly. This is a small place with tight seating. But who cares when the food awakens your taste buds. I would be remiss if I do not give a shoutout for Valter who was just outstanding in managing the front of the house. Kudos to him and his staff. I loved the ambiance. Nice job guys. read more

My friend is going to go to Dublin, Ireland this April and asked me for suggestions. I remember having the best fish and chips in my entire life and it was at this restaurant. It is so cozy on the second level, and the walls are covered in memorabilia and jerseys and everything. I remember the staff was extremely friendly and of course the Guinness beer was a must have. After a long day exploring the city, this little nook of a restaurant was just what I needed. My boy friend and I sat there for a good while relaxing and eating delicious food with the faint sound of street performers outside! read more
