One of the best meals in Dublin. We took Elle's father to Dublin, because we talked about how…read moregreat it was and he just "had to go!" so we decided on the second day of our trip to try Toddy's as we were staying the Hotel next door (no not the beautiful Gresham, but the Holiday Inn express - the Gresham was booked solid for our stay....next time!). As we entered, we were acknowledged straight away. We were greeted, made to feel welcome and taken to a table, but there were some very loud and rowdy Spainish tourists at a near by table. So we asked for somewhere more secluded and quiet. The hostess was very happy to move us with no problems to a much nicer part of the restaurant. She was very bubbly, pleasant and polite. Laughing with us and making our meal a perfect one. I decided on the fish and chips with a guinness (must have a guinness while in Dublin), Elle's Dad had braised Ox Cheek, mashed potatoes and stewed vegetables, Elle had a sirlion steak with onion rings and chips/fries. Everyone enjoyed their meal so much we all decided to have our final meal in Dublin at Toddy's before coming home the next day. My meal was so good, I didn't stop talking about it and convinced my companions to also have fish and chips on our final night when we went back to Toddy's. When we go back to Dublin we will definitely visit Toddy's again I can't recommend the restaurant highly enough!

One of our party requested manager Riain to disconnect the speaker beside our table but he had no interest in improving our situation. Food was not terrific which was disappointing. We all ran out the door when dinner finished and went to a much more comfortable venue for tea/coffee/drinks and b/d cake. The 2nd venue gave us wonderful memories of this special event which should have been created at Botanic House. NO I WOULD NOT recommend booking here for an important function as this was.

Fantastic meal, ambiance and service!…read more We had reservations for 7 people at 7pm and were greeted and directed to our seats before the last of us had even entered the restaurant! Lots of drinks and buffalo wings were the highlight for me. I had a beef pie that was very good though the pastry was a little tough. The buffalo potatoes were well undercooked but still nice. Those buffalo wings though!! Full transparency I am American so I have eaten a LOT of wings in my life. At least once a week. These were better than those. Than all of em! Just amazing! (As I prepare for a beating from US wing nerds). I love this place. Going on my list of "when in Dublin" (which is often) spots to eat!

Although a beautiful venue, we had two very different experiences within a few days as we visited…read moretwice since we were staying nearby. The scampi and the Mediterranean salad were both outstanding on our first visit. The service was slow and not very attentive but the place was very busy. On our last day of our holiday, we decided to go back for fish and chips because the scampi had been so good. This time the service varied from indifferent to downright rude (2 different servers) and my husband's fish and chops were fine but mine was mostly batter. Not what we expected at all.

We got this reservation as a last minute decision and we're so happy we did. The atmosphere is…read morefantastic, very moody and very quintessential gastropub. I would recommend smart casual clothes for anyone stopping in. Our server, Allison, was so friendly and even recommended us splitting the summer greens which was a fantastic choice. All of the food was fantastic, my lamb chops were perfectly grilled and seasoned. Would definitely recommend!

We had their Sunday Roast and it was delicious. You have options for striploin, pork belly,…read morechicken, or roasted nuts as the protein. We chose the striploin and pork belly; both were seasoned flavorfully. The meat quantity is small (my striploin only came with two thin slices), but there were abundant sides: Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, green cabbage, carrots, parsnips, turnips, stuffing, and extra gravy. For dessert, we had the Bailey's and coffee panna cotta; it was like having Bailey's in a solid form -- very good. I enjoyed the sides and dessert just as much as the meats. The entire meal was like a plate of very comforting American Thanksgiving. Note: Legal Eagle automatically applies a 10% service charge to all customers, which is not common for Ireland.

This place is alright but nothing amazing. The location is…read moregood, right in middle of the IFSC area and in front of the National College so a good spot for students and also to watch a game. That's it, this is a match pub with a big screen and very loud volume so if you're trying to have a chat and you aren't really into games this place isn't for you. I've been here for a few times and it's usually empty until a certain match day or time of the eve. The decoration is simple and modern, nothing like an old style rustic pub, their finger food is standard and their cocktails are pricy and watery. In my last visit, my 8.50€ original mojito filled 1/3 of the glass and was very, very, very bland, so extremely disappointing for such price. Still central location, comfy couches and laid back atmosphere (if you go in a day with no games!).

So to start, Kealy's is in a great location near Dublin Airport; if you're staying at a hotel…read morenearby or just want a quick bite before your flight, it's very accessible. The two times we've been there, it has been quite busy, so service can be a bit delayed for at times... but they are passing frequently so you won't feel ignored. It's a very good example of Irish food and beer; worth a stop even if just for a pint of Guinness. Excellent portion size - bring your appetite or a friend to split with if you're about to fly. Airport security will not allow leftovers from here onto your flight, and it would be a shame to leave such good food behind. A bit of a family friendly place, but still with a slight pub atmosphere as well.

We happen to be in Dublin the weekend of a big MMA fight so the bar area was loud but they seated us in a back seating area and it was less noisy. Ryan was our server. He was very good and extremely friendly. Although, they were busy, he took time to chat with us. The food and beverages were delicious. I had a limoncello spritzer cocktail and loved it! My husband had an old fashion. For an entree I chose the Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon. It was cooked perfectly. It was flaky, not dry at all. It practically melted in my mouth. It was served with fresh asparagus, potatoes and mushrooms topped with a beautifully done Bearnaise sauce. My husband chose the Slow Braised Lamb Shoulder and loved it. We both had red wine with dinner. After dinner we shared a plate of sticky coffee pudding with vanilla ice cream and finished our meal with a Bailey's Coffee for me and an Irish coffee for him. Overall, it was a wonderful evening! I recommend you try Harbour Master the next time are in Dublin.

Delicious food. Highly recommend the chicken goujons with slaw, chips and pepper sauce. Nice…read moreambiance Service below average -- waiter insisted to take drinks orders before taking our food orders -- but drinks arrived halfway through food? Waiter said he would bring sauces with the food. Then another waiter dropping off food asked if we wanted ketchup & mayonnaise. It was super quiet as noon on Sunday. No real excuse. Table sitting next to use had to give their order a second time because waiter lost it...& couldn't remember what they ordered. They arrived before us and got their food as we were leaving. Choice of sauces with wings. I had spicy butter which tasted like franks wing sauce. Blue cheese randomly €1 extra. Only 1/2 stick of celery with wings.
