I simply cannot understand the bad reviews. My husband and I dined here on the 20th Feb we expected to pay a little more due to the decor atmosphere etc. The food was simply delicious allowing that the portions were a little on the small side we had rib eye steak and ordered extras when we saw the portions were...

I live in Dublin, so I have been in this place more than once, and most of the time there has been some problem in the entrance.. the security guys are most of the time very unfriendly and last time it's been the very last drop: they decided to let in "only couples" and no groups, so they wouldn't let...

The manager was quite rude and even though I brought 30 people with me she refused to allow me to take out the bar stools from the kitchen (they had been... More

Asked for a cup of tea and a Guinness and was told "no hot drinks" settled on 2 Guinness only to find they had a coffee bar with tea and coffee drinks. Didn't stay and left our drinks. Bartender was new possibly but she hopefully will get more training or others like me will give more bad reviews. More
