    Great place and great food 👍🏻 Just one thing, they accidentally overcharged and we had to ask them about it. But the staff apologised kindly and gave us a new bill. They were also nice and friendly 🙂so I’d definitely recommend this place

    We had a very nice night at the Port House. The place is very cosy, with wide selection of wines, other drinks and nice food options. Their tapas menu is also comprehensive and you can surely find many tasty things on it. This time, I really loved their croquettes and mini burgers! Patatas bravas was not our favourite here.. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone who wants to spend some nice time out with friends or as a couple date.

    Such fabulous food and a beautiful atmosphere! It’s a tapas restaurant so the plates were smaller, but the price was less to reflect that. We were able to get a lot of different options for a decent price! All the food was AMAZING!! All food allergies were clearly labeled and staff was knowledgeable with questions I had.

    Just a churro review. Stopped in for churros to go. They were just average. Too thin for me. Plenty of chocolate sauce. Bartender was nice who took my order.

    Lovely cellar like decor and delicious tapas. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten free options available and they are really mindful of the dietary restrictions. Ended up sitting down for around 2 hours and kept ordering food. Definitely recommend

    I'm going to split this review into two parts - food and service. Firstly the food was hands down amazing. Maybe some of the best tapas I've eaten. The plates were a brilliant size, cooked beautifully and all tasted delicious. I had a fantastic spanish cheese board with some marvellous cheeses and there is a fantastic wine selection. I went for the Desig, something I've not heard of before but it was a gorgeous wine that i would look to have again. I want to make it clear i thought the food/drink was a 5* experience. the menu was so extensive and had the best and most varried selction i have seen, we struggled to choose! Unfortunately on the other side of this i did feel really let down by the service. One of the main dishes we ordered didn't turn up with the rest of our plates and we had to ask the waiter to check up on it which he did. He came back to check we had received it 5-10 mins later, we still hadn't. When it did arrive all our plates had been cleared and it felt like an add on to our meal not something we had ordered as a main. we were then left unattended for about 20 minutes without anyone coming to offer us dessert menus or another drink. I had to grab a waiters attention to get menus/more drinks after a lengthy weight. I ordered another glass of the wine I spoke about before but after it not arrive after 10 mins or so i had to re ask for it again. I did feel the service really let down the meal and we spent quite a while waiting to be served. I would like to add however that i thought the system for ordering by ticking the items you wanted and handing your menu back to the waiter was genius and a huge time saver and should be adopted at tapas around the world. the staff were also very helpful with our pram which was massively appreciated and were all very friendly. also i think the guy who was serving us knew the service could have been improved as when it came to our bill clicked 'no tip' on the card machine for us. While I don't know if this was intentional or not we appreciated it. I will also say it was extremely busy on our visit and don't know if we were just unlucky with our service. No one else seemed to be having similar issues with service. our bill came to €95, which for 8 dishes, 3 wines, a cheese board and a dessert i think is extremely reasonable for the quality of food. I would really like to give 4 or 5 stars, as the food and drink was amazing and despite the 3 stars i wourls still encourage you to try and see for yourself also get some desig.

    This is a place for drinking, not eating. Service started off poor, having had to wait 30 minutes after our reservation to be seated. No apologies anywhere and we eventually got sat at a table that was empty for the time we were waiting. Food was a mixed bag. If you like cured meats and pork, it’ll be great. If you’re here for paella and chicken, forget it. The paella was flavourless and watery, the chicken dry and bland. I’m sure if you drank enough wine it would taste superb.

    Been there many times with my boyfriend and my mom. We like this place. I love it. The staff is nice and friendly. Love it because it gives me Spanish vibes. Live the little tables outside where I can sit, have a drink and a snack, enjoy it and entertain myself while watching people walking up and down the street…

    Our recent visit to Port House in Dublin was an absolute delight from what I can still remember, from the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the cozy and vibrant ambiance that exuded a unique blend of elegance and charm. The menu at Port House showcases a wide array of delectable tapas, The quality and freshness of the ingredients were evident in every bite, the flavors were perfectly balanced. The service at Port House was also exemplary, with attentive and friendly staff members who were always ready to cater to any request. While the prices at Port House may be slightly higher than average, the overall experience justifies every penny spent. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Port House to anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience in Dublin. Whether you're a fan of tapas, a wine enthusiast, or simply appreciate exceptional service, Port House is sure to exceed your expectations.

    The place is cozy, the food is always brilliant (I am used to visit the Dundrum one) but the music is way too loud, so people have to speak really loud to compete with the music. In a busy day, it is really too much noise.

    Had a very nice dinner with colleagues there a few weeks ago. The food was lovely and service was good and fast too. Would definitely go back!

    I've eaten here a few times and have always thoroughly enjoyed myself. It's quirky decor and excellent food usually provide a great dining experience and I would usually and probably still will highly recommend it. So we thought it would be a great place to bring our French guests. Booking was for 7.30 on a Saturday. There,was a slight delay being seated as they were very busy and I would not usually mention it as I have been the cause of such delays on occasion BUT the first plate of food did not hit our table until after 9. In a tapas / pinchos type restaurant where food can often be delivered in minutes this was beyond my experience and painfully embarrassing in the company. To be fair the manager did make concessions in the bill which was appreciated and the removed service charge was returned in the payment as the staff, I felt, were doing there best in difficult circumstances. This was a lovely experience seriously tarnished. Please take fewer bookings or hire more staff

    Buzzy packed noisy fun tapas restaurant. Lovely food. Party atmosphere. Everyone had a great time. Great service - friendly and fast. We booked a table for 8 for a birthday dinner on a Saturday evening. It was manic busy and the manager called me 30 minutes before our reservation to say that our table would be delayed by 10-15 minutes so we had a very pleasant pre-dinner drink around the corner in Grogan's.

    My wife and I went to The Port House as we are big fans of Tapas. The place is small and the seating inside is very close to other tables. That close we could hear the couple beside us conversation. When busy the place is loud. We ordered an array of Tapas to try. They were OK. Not amazing but nice. The staff were friendly.

    Nice place, delicious food, good service, but incredibly small portions for the prices. I guess it's due to the fact that it's in the center of Dublin, but that's no excuse. There were not many visitors...

    Great food, service was not so good. The black pudding dish was delicious and the goats cheese salad was refreshing albeit a bit sweet. I had to remind them of my drinks after waiting for a while. Ordered a second glass of wine and they gave me a more expensive one and tried to charge me. They ignored me for the whole meal and had to stop them to ask for everything. When I corrected them about the wine on the bill another server got confused and brought another glass of wine. I also mentioned it was a special occasion in the reservation and there was no acknowledgement of it whatsoever. Such a shame because the food is delicious.

    We had such a lovely experience at the Port House. Every dish we ordered was super tasty. The sangria was delicious and the waiters were friendly and helpful. Such a lovely relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. Will definitely we back.

    Amazing accommodating staff, delicious food in small tapas sized portions and great selection of wine! Only downside was we came at a very busy time on a Friday and the food took 20mins to arrive but the staff were apologetic and did try to speed up as much as they could
