    Prawns in sauce
    Jered S.

    Very good food , what I order complimented each other by taste and flavor I used the prawn sauce and added to my linguine

    Eton Mess
    Jeny H.

    We weren't sure what to expect when we walked in but were immediately put at ease. The staff was attentive and easy going. We ordered an Old Fashion and a glass of Prosecco. Then the Oysters, which were superb. A little sweet and salty and very fresh. The we ordered the Cote de Boeuf (Medium Rare of course) to share with the Wild Garlic Butter, Bernaise sauces and the Gruyère Black Truffle Mac & Cheese and Chargrilled Broccoli. This meal was perfection...every bite was delicious and unique, yet paired perfectly with each other. We ordered a bottle of the house red, which complemented the meal exactly. For dessert a glass of Tawny Port and the Eton Mess. Light and fruity and a excellent ending. If you're debating on where to go for an excellent meal in Dublin...go here.

    The All In Roast for 2, comes with Mash, Gravy, Yorkshire Pudding, Cabbage and Carrots

    Our first meal in Ireland and it was so good. Sunday's are for roast! Brookwood serves their special roasts on Sundays. We tried the "All In" roast for 2. Which consists of organic Irish chicken, rib of beef, belly of pork, mash, gravy, cabbage, carrots and Yorkshire pudding. My favorite starter was the seared scallops. It came on top of cauliflower purée and then sprinkled with black pudding sausage. Brother-in-law wanted to lick the plate! Lol. Yes, they accept card.

    Drinks board including 9% beer.

    I went here for lunch on a work do so the drinks were flowing. I had a red wine which was really easy to drink. The boys were ordering beers with 9% alcohol! And I tasted the cucumber cocktail which was really good. Had a nice kick to it. I had an unusual salad with feta cheese and chickpeas to start. It was a great choice. Really big portion so when my big rib eye steak, greens and paprika fries arrived I was already sort of full. A couple of people ordered the 28oz porterhouse steak as a challenge. They needed a lie down after! My steak and sides I could not fault. Staff were very attentive. Topping up drinks all the time and checking if we were ok. We had reserved a hip feeling room with its own bar upstairs. Bathroom is impressive with a big bunch of lillies. Cool New York vibe to the place. Would love to go back.

    Went to Brookwood yesterday for my boyfriend's birthday, had seen the Sunday roast mentioned in a Buzzfeed article on the most delicious dishes in Dublin and having checked out the website, really loved the look of the place- all 1940's speakeasy - and thought it'd be a nice alternative to the typical Sunday brunch. Having booked the restaurant, I then came across a voucher for a half roast for two people with 2 cocktails on the Taste.ie, having been stung before by using vouchers with some restaurants treating you like a second-class citizen when using them, I was a little wary of purchasing one for this, seeing as it was a special occasion. However, the staff at Brookwood honestly couldn't have been more accommodating and the service was really outstanding, my fears really were put to rest from the moment we arrived, they honestly could not have looked after us any better. As a party of five and having two vouchers which entitled us to four cocktails, they even threw in an extra drink for free, which we were not expecting at all but very happily accepted! The food was on par with the service, the roast for four people was an epic affair - big juicy slices of medium rare beef that melted in the mouth served with big, airy Yorkshire puds, creamy mash (we suspected equal ratios of butter to potato haha), beautiful roast veg and potatoes, gravy and a horseradish sauce so good that I am now a convert, not being at all keen on it in the past. Seeing as some of our party had been on the sauce the night before and we were all pretty schtarved we included some sides to the feast (pretty unnecessary really but the hangover had to be fed!!). The onion rings, parmesan chips and creamed spinach were all outstanding. If I had one quibble and it honestly would be tiny, it would be that the side dishes with the roast and the extras we ordered could have been a little hotter for my taste - but that really is me nit-picking!! I really enjoyed the fact that the food was served up to be dished out communally, it's a nice touch and makes the experience a little more fun. Along with the excellent food and service, the décor and vibe of the place is really cool too, from the heavy ornate water glasses that looked straight out of Mad Men (surely the glasses of Mr. Draper et al. would have held a little whiskey along with the water though haha) to the chilled tunes and great cocktail bar. Brookwood, I will be back, hands down the best roast I've had (bar the Mammy's of course!).

    Pork belly appetizer
    Nikki P.

    I don't always give 5 stars, but by god this restaurant earned every one. My husband and I came in here after a day of shopping around town. We totally meant to arrive in time for lunch, but (yeah for me, not for him), we spent too much time shopping and didn't arrive until around 5:15pm or so on a Saturday. Of course, because it was so early, we were the only people in the restaurant. We were told we could sit at the table till 7pm, because the table was reserved at that time. However, they informed us that when 7pm came if we were not done, they would be happy to move us to the bar at the window. We though, sure, sounds great! We started off with the pork belly and the steak and blue cheese salad as our appetizers. The salad was fantastic; the perfect balance between sweet and savoury. Also, the salad was significantly larger than I was expecting it to be. The pork belly was also very good, and was served with a honey mustard type of sauce. The pork belly was a bit smaller than I was expecting it to be, but still very good. For our dinner, we decided to split the porterhouse steak with a side of garlic mash and truffle mac and cheese. We ordered our steak rare, and it was brought out, sliced, on a hot cast iron skillet. We had to hurry and get our pieces off the plate to prevent them from cooking the steak more. The presentation was neat with the skillet, but I would have honestly preferred it had been plated differently for that very reason. The garlic mash was good, not too much garlic, and the potatoes were nice and creamy. The mac and cheese was also very good. There was just a hint of truffle, it wasn't particularly strong. So if you're nervous about the truffle, no need to worry! I was so full eating all this food, I couldn't even finish it all, but my husband was happy to take over and help! We didn't have room for dessert, but instead got drinks. I opted for the drink that comes with the yelp check in offer (unfortunately I've forgotten the name of the drink). But it was really nice and refreshing. I could see myself ordering this on a hot summer's day (the one time a year that happens in Ireland). I can't wait to come back to this place, it'd be great for a date night or a treat yourself dinner. They also do a sunday roast which I really want to come back and check out.

    Open faced Sandwich...
    John C.

    After a pretty intensive job interview my partner decided I needed something amazing to eat - enter Brookwood... There was a special listed on the chalkboard steadied upon the pavement which read that there was a special of some kind of Pork Sandwich. When we got inside the chef said that this was actually Beef. Beef is good. Beef is better than Pork...by a longshot. So we ordered two amazing open faced sandwiches, a basket of chips and a pea soup which was greener than your neighbours face if you told em you won the lottery. Disguised respecfully into the mix were 2 glasses of mind altering Malbec. After just a few sips all of the stresses of being the perfect candidate simply floated away. What did linger though waa the taste. The sandwich was delicious, in fairness though it would want to be. It was above average in price but above average in quality. it is imperative that there is a correlation between these two factors at all times when judging a meal. Its pretty nice here to be honest. Id imagine that the dinner menu is to die for. There is a lot of love and care injected into the food prep here. So if you fancy pushing the boat out a little for your lunch give Brookwood a whirl whether you're a boy or a girl.

    What a great steakhouse! I hadn't heard about Brookwood before and when a friend suggested we go there for a dinner on Friday night I didn't know what to expect. Well now I have a new favorite Steak joint in Dublin. This place is awesome. The staff are extremely welcoming and courteous and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The decor is pretty cool and make you feel more comfortable than out of place like a lot upper end steak places can do. We ordered starters and mains to split. The stuffed potato was great and felt like a meal in itself. For mains we got a rib eye steak that we split along with Spinach. My steak was really good but I tasted my friends Fillet Mignon which I would say was one of the best cuts of meat i'ver ever had. There was also a Yelp check in offer for a cocktail. I would love to go back and test the cocktail menu in the future.

    I could of licked the plate clean...

    We came with the 30€ voucher, which was a cocktail and roast dinner meal. I have to say it was a fantastic meal. Great value. The food and service was impeccable. Excellent cocktails, nice and strong. Also, check in and get a free cocktail. (The terry) a lovely refreshing cocktail. We will definitely be going back, with friends. The voucher is great value. (Voucher was bought on taste.ie) Great value, fantastic service.

    I visited Brookwood based on the good feedback I'd seen online but had a pretty bad experience to be honest. Found it overpriced (paying €1.50 for ketchup or mayo?!) and my fish main was awful. Partner got the burger which was good. Dessert of sticky toffee pudding was terrible too. Have heard good feedback on their steaks but I personally wouldn't bother returning based on my previous visit.

    Matt D.

    Absolutely the best steaks in Dublin. Laura will make you feel special. Try the oysters. In the middle of the mix of Baggot Street. Try to score a seat at the counter at the front window. Great people watching.

    See all

I had clear favourites and ended up ordering extra rock oysters after. I tried 4 types of oysters, and I chose the rock oyster for the rest of the meal. The oyster selection is priced at €7.00 for 2 oysters, which makes it dangerously easy to keep adding "just two more rock oysters" . The oyster tempura was also a win, and it's €16.50 for 4 oysters. We shared the 10oz rib eye (€49.50) and it was good, but steak-wise other places win, so I'd personally focus on the seafood here. The atmosphere felt lively and polished without being stiff. It was busy, but the staff were friendly and welcoming. We spent roughly €150 for the oysters and the rib eye, and I'd happily go back for an oyster-led meal.

We had a nice table, with a nice view of the bar and the room, and fun energy. Here's what we ordered: - Matt's Seafood Linguine (Eric) - Turbot (Gayle) - Halibut (Fern) - Porchetta (Don) We ordered a bottle of white wine for the table (Gavi Di Gavi), which Fern had heard good things about.

They were sold out, which is a good sign of their popularity and freshness. I started off side baby gem caesar dressing salad. It didn't taste much like caesar dressing. I could've done without it.
