He knew the menu inside and out and gave us fantastic recommendations, including perfect wine pairings and great cocktail suggestions before dinner. What really stood out was how attentive and generous he was throughout the meal. He even surprised us with an extra beer, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel incredibly well taken care of. Exceptional service is hard to find, and Vinni absolutely delivered. He struck the perfect balance of being attentive without ever being intrusive, and his positive energy made the experience even more memorable. If you're lucky enough to have Vinni as your server, you're in for a fantastic meal and an even better dining experience. He's a true asset to the restaurant, and we'll definitely be back because of him. Highly recommend!

The staff was very accommodating, when we were cold they moved us to a table inside. Finally got to try the Sarti spritz!!! So excited amazing taste. Overall the apps were good. Got truffle arancini and burrata green goddess salad- loved the basil puree and fresh peas! The crab crostini were okay crab was very fishy. Got rigatoni carbonara, the guanciale and sausage meatballs were good but pasta was overcooked , also did not expect the sauce to be that spicy.

I got the seafood chowder; it was tasty. My daughter got the Smashburger but confessed to me she felt guilty about ordering a burger in Ireland since we had just arrived here from the USA yesterday. She was pleased to report that it tasted a lot different from the typical American burger and she was glad she had ordered it. The other members of our group also enjoyed their burgers and mushroom burger; the only complaint being that they were "messy". So I guess if messy is a big concern of yours you might want to be careful about ordering that. I think though that probably most people who order something called a smashburger probably realize this already.

We made an excellent choice! Our server Chloe was friendly and a delight. There are riddles on the walls, hence the name, and we had fun guessing the answers. The smoked seafood chowder was the BEST chowder I have ever eaten and the hot organic Clipper green tea with honey was perfect! Hubby enjoyed a tasty chicken bacon rigatoni and iced tea with lemon. Both his tea and the water were brought to the table in glass carafes; a nice touch. Even the water in Dublin has a good taste! Thanks Yelpers for sharing your experiences here which in turn caused us to eat here.

There was six of us to be seated. We arrived around 920am, just after opening. We were greeted…read morewith a smile by the server. We had a couple questions regarding what a rasher (bacon which is saltier) and the black and white pudding (the white are the white blood cells). She was very animated talking about the pudding. We ordered porridge, the Irish Egg, and the full Irish breakfast. The porridge didn't have a lot of seasoning/flavor. The Irish egg was good, liked the bacon jam on the toast. My friend wasn't a fan of the bacon jam as it was too sweet for her. The eggs were a little over cooked for me (ordered medium). The sausage in the full Irish was very good. I tried both the black and white pudding. I liked both, but preferred the white. The mushrooms and rashers were very good. All in all, a good breakfast!

Stopped in for lunch and found the place quite busy. However we were seated immediately by the…read moreserver and our drink orders were taken. We were also told about the lunch special, a fish burger with fries. We ordered the fish and chips and the special fish burger. Our order came quickly and everything was very hot. The fish and chips had a large fish filet, tartar sauce, a small container of peas (not mushy peas as was expected) and a metal container of fries. The container was very hot and helped keep the fries crispy. The fries were unique in that the shape had a celery shape with a valley to keep the ketchup in place or as I was told by the server mayonnaise for her. The fish was well fried and very hot. The fish burger was unique in that from what I could tell it was flaked or mashed fish filets then surrounded by a flat filet to keep its shape. It was served on a soft bun with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. The 'burger' was very large and thick that it almost made it hard to eat, but I managed! The batter was very thin, light and crispy. Again the fries were super hot and crunchy and there was a small container of tartar sauce. Both meals were good but lacked seasoning. Not sure they would be ordered again. The menu is small but would have enough for most appetites. They do offer an all day Gorgonzola and bread appetizer which, if we were going to spend time drinking, I would have ordered. Atmosphere was very loud with plenty of bar noise (dishes, silverware, and glassware being knocked about) which sometimes made it difficult to hold a conversation. Seating was a combination of booth, tables, and chairs. This is a large establishment with another bar area to the rear, labeled Molly's Room (Malone perhaps?). All in all an ok visit not sure we'll pop back in on our next trip.

It was a nice day so we day outside. We ordered oysters, fries, and a sandwich with some Guinness. My oysters weren't bad (I had better ones on the west coast of Ireland) and the rest of the food was pretty standard. The restaurant itself is neat inside and our server was good. There is a large parking lot nearby if you are struggling to park. We would return here if visiting again!

Hubby had the Bacon cheeseburger & 1 litre of sparkling water. My steak was done really nicely & still juicy even though it was well done. The fries (chips in Ireland) were done well too as were the onions & mushrooms. I really enjoyed my meal & ate until I couldn't eat anymore. LOL. Hubby said his burger was really good & it came with fries as well. The portion & prices are reasonable for the location. Service: There was a front door person who took us to our table. And then we had a nice lady as our waitstaff. She took our order quickly and we got the food pretty quickly as well. Everything was efficient & smooth. Ambiance: Flanagan's has a cozy but nice atmosphere. The floors are wood with wooden chairs & the upholstery is red. To one side is a speakeasy bar which we didn't go into. Everything looked classy but not intimidating which is why I called it cozy. As a tourist to the area we were dressed casually but we felt comfortable here. Washrooms are clean which is always important. Overall I'd say the food quality & service were worth it. It's across the street from the Gresham hotel so it was very convenient. We had a great experience here. If we ever go to Dublin again I would definitely eat here again!
