    Excellent restaurant. The first time I came in just before close and asked if they'd be willing to at least let me takeaway an appetizer, as it was my first day in Ireland and I was starving. The lovely hostess helped order me a burger, was so kind, got me water, and declined my tip. Returned for dinner and the chicken supreme was excellent, maybe the best meal I've had in Ireland. Host was also so kind and upfront that I'd face a wait, but it was barely a problem in the end. Thank you for such excellent service and great food!

    I could not believe the rudeness , not even finished our breakfast and there was a staff member standing over us looking for payment, really put us off our food. When I put my hand in my pocket to pay the bill , my wife’s food was taken from under her and the knife bounced onto my wife’s lap. Not even an apology. Asked why the rush. Staff member was requested to send the bill by management. Food no great Definitely will not be back here again , and would not recommend this place. In my opinion staff and management need to be re-trained.

    No stars here. Food incredibly bad. I have had lunch & breakfast here before & was nice but the take away is awful. We spent €65 on takeaway food & we put it in the bin. Everything seems to be pre-prepared earlier in the day & re-heated before delivery. The sauces are all soaked into the dishes & the meat is dry & chewy. I sent an email complaining about the food but heard nothing back. When I placed the order they said it would be ready in 20 minutes. 20 minutes to re-heat the food I reckon. Will never order or eat here again.

    Cozy yet lively place. Their ambiance is beautiful with serene views. It’s always best to book in a reservation before coming here to avoid any waiting time. The first time we chanced upon this restaurant, we did not have a reservation. But we got a message within 15 minute, that a table is ready. The food is delicious as well.

    Finally had dinner in this cozy looking restaurant and we were not disappointed. Food tasted good but we would like to commend their waiting staff for providing great service. Peter looked after us well. Would definitely be back again.

    Was expecting more from what I've heard about this place. Went in the evening when they were serving the dinner menu. Restaurant itself is nice staff are friendly but I wasn't too pushed on the food served. The menu could have had a little bit more of an option. The kids menu had enough to chose from if you bring them with you. I wouldnt be in a hurry to get back to try lunch menu anytime soon

    Delicious food and so many options. We sat outside as the weather was sunny and their area is a nice vibe. Staff were very friendly and helpful to top it off there is plenty of parking. Overall a great visit and would return

    Food and dessert was great. It did take a very long time to seat me (just one person) even through most of the restaurant was empty. I even started to look for other spots to go but I walked so I stuck it out.

    Had a late breakfast here, family of 4. Service was really attentive and fast. Staff were very friendly. It was really busy with most of the tables full so I was glad to have booked in advance. The star of the show was definitely the food. I had the chorizo hash and it was so full of flavour, absolutely delicious. Clean plates all round.

    Was up with my friend for lunch on Friday and we had a lovely time. The manager was so attentive when we walked in the door. She brought us upstairs to a quiet area. We were served by Chosen and Amy. The service was so fast and the food was lovely. Will definitely be back soon

    I love this place, it is beautiful and cozy they have good music while they serve you the food the waiters are attentive to every detail, the food is delicious a bit expensive but worth paying, the drinks are delicious, extensive menu with more variety, they have a special menu for children. Ample parking, ramp for wheelchairs, close to bus stop and little noisy street. Super recommended.

    Lovely place for brunch! Food was terrific, and reasonable value. Portions were generous. Service was quick. Casual, but upmarket. Nice atmosphere. Vegetarian options and customizations no problems. Allergen customization good too.

    Really disappointed this morning with the Gourmet food parlour. They changed the pancakes to waffles with sugar going right through the center of them which was really sweet and could not taste anything else on the plate feel a bit sick from all of the sugar. My family and I have being going here for some time because the kids loved the pancakes which are gone now we will be looking for some where different now!

    Food was delish! Great and fast service, nice environment, many options on menu. Perfect for a family lunch or friends meeting. I highly recommend this place, just crossing the road from Santry Park.

    The restaurant is mid-crowded during the evening working day's. The pepper and salt is available on table. The glasses are clean and decent decoration. All though they do not deliver new utilities upon fall downs without request. The employees are kind and proactive with the assistance, which brought stars in my eyes. However, it's recommended to call for the service after 15 minutes on a not crowded day. The ampliente is multicultural with employees serving in- & outside. The toilets are clean and immersive rustically. The tables are probably disinfected between customers. The price, value & quality gain is excellent for Dublin. Please remember that some items may be precooked; it does not change the value of you dine in—may be different for takeaways and delivery. I would recommend it for high class restaurant dinning for an unbeatable service and price. I have attached an example of their menu to showcase a great example; it was only nine euros.

    Highly Recommended! It was beautiful evening and I can not thank ourselves for deciding to choose this place to spend it. Food was amazing especially their Beef Burger, Chicken Boneless Bites and Waffle Fries😋 Service cannot be better than this. Suggestion: My vegetarian friends could be happier if they had more Vegetarian options :)

    1 stars is solely for the customer service from the 2/3 people who looked after our table. Food was tastless I may aswell have bought a frozen bag of prawns and fried some bread. Chips where hard with little potatoe. Ordered the kids meal with was chips and sausages for my nearly 2 year old sausages where fine but the chips I didn't find suitable for a child.. Desert was okay hard to go wrong with but dinner was a hard no from me. It would take a lot of convincing to get me to go back & try breakfast or lunch. Overpriced & tasteless don't see the attraction.

    One star for the food. Atmosphere was terrible, service was poor from start to finish and If ever want the feeling of not being welcome just head to the Gormet Food Parlour. Went with my wife and 2 year old daughter and I have to say I will not be going again. The prices are high you expect a pleasant experience to accompany your meal. That was most definitely not what we got. Plenty of other cafes about that would be happy for the custom and have some manners. They cost nothing. I really do not see any appeal. Place was empty and going on like they were rammed. Get a grip. I will spend my money elsewhere in future and I recommend the same to all that see this post. Honest review from an honest person.

    Fries are OK, the rest is supermarket level. Soup, chicken sandwich, and my steak sandwich was awful. The steak was overcooked, I asked for medium but got well-done, no, I got congratulations...

  • 2/5 olive t. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place. Friendly helpful staff unfortunately the 'famous chicken' sandwich ordered was the the driest sandwich I have ever experienced...even after my lovely waitress brought me more mayonnaise I ended up leaving most...the tea was lukewarm as always...such a shame. Unprompted my bill included a discount which was good management. Ultimately my food let the whole experience down.

    Served by a lovely lady named Chosen, very attentive! Brunch was lovely, poached eggs are Devine. Restaurant is really nice, noisy though!

  • 3/5 sunny 2 years ago on Google
    Food was great, plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. 3/5 as the staff made us sit on the seats away from the fire burner and it was 12 degrees, we asked for the table indoor we were told all full (I could see empty tables inside, but I understand maybe they were reserved) then we asked could you move close to the burner where 3 tables were vacant and we were told all are reserved, we then asked table are reserved on the basis of indoor or outdoor then why we are made to sit far off the burner and there was another asian family made to sit away from burner (looked biased) all this while they allowed locals to come in 10-15 mins after us and they got the seat next to the heat. We asked how local couple were allowed to sit there, did they reserve specifically that table? Only then they realised and allowed us to move from cold and windy corner to one of the empty table around the burner. Due to this different treatment I am not sure If I will be interested to go again, or maybe that is what they want.

  • 5/5 Garrett S. 4 months ago on Google
    I was on a split shift so I had three hours break . I decided to walk up to Santry park. It’s amazing, absolutely beautiful. Anyway I was thirsty so as soon as I saw coffee I was sold. I went in. Very nice . The bar is small but they seem to fit a lot into a small space. I got a double espresso for takeout. While I was waiting for it to be made I had a look at their cocktail menu. It’s excellent, all of the usual suspects are there plus one or two surprises. Unfortunately as I was going back to work I couldn’t get one, The mock tail menu looked good.

  • 4/5 Dylan Do C. 2 years ago on Google
    Good quality for a decent price, make sure to book in advance as they fill up fast. There is both inside and outside dinning.

  • 5/5 Slobodan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little restorant with a variety selection of foods for any taste. A bit of expensive but experience compensates for it. Great staff - very friendly! Would recommend!

  • 1/5 Carlos Maria Garcia A. 4 months ago on Google
    Been there a few times in the last weeks to give it a try as it's close to work but no chance. Food wasn't great but the main thing is about services and waiters. Some days they are extremely polite, some days the opposite, relay rude till the point the even don't look at you when serving or taking the order. Never seen that before really. All the staff are like robots but bringing their personal life or mood to table and costumers. Just the young fella is amazing, natural, fresh and always with honest smile and willing to make your stay happy, but ever again!!!

👍 Airport pub, with a smoking area. Reasonable selection of beer but was actually really reasonably priced. In fact the price was comparable to that charged in the area we stayed at in Dublin.
