My coworker played a nasty trick by sending us here by way of Enniskerry. The backroads here are so…read moreinsanely narrow, and the hills incredibly steep, not for the faint of heart! By the time we reached this place, we felt we earned every drink and nibble of food. By the time we ventured here, it was my 7th day of driving on the "correct" side of the road for the first time in my life, so the route here was certainly the final boss which required all my driving skills and full focus. The food was delicious and felt like something home cooked by your grandparents. Although I get the impression from locals that this is kind of a touristy place, I did not get that vibe from the atmosphere here. There were people from out of town asking about the dancing show, which is in a separate room and you need to purchase tickets for this in advance. The service here is what you would expect from Europeans: friendly, but slow. They seem to want to make you feel welcome to stay and not rushed out the door. I always feel awkward having to ask for the check, but I am getting better at it Overall, the experience was just what we were looking for: something warm and cozy after a week of dreary, cold Irish weather overlaid on top of our 12+ hour workdays. The table we sat next to were some local roofers who had far more difficult and dangerous jobs than we did, so we ended up leaving this place with a sense of gratitude for our jobs. Energized and refreshed from the long journey, we plowed through the rain and mist back down the mountain to our hotel in Dublin. The main roads here are far easier to traverse than the backroads.

The restaurant is under a bright conservatory and the furnishing is delicate, ornate and farmy. All of the food is homemade on the premises and it tastes wholesome and flavoursome. The bree tartlets were light and tangy and the rhubarb pie was sweet and crumbly. Other dishes included soup, fish pie and beef in Guinness. The menu wasn't extensive but the options were all tasty and the atmosphere was relaxing, just as it should be in the middle of the Wicklow countryside. Pop in here on your way back from Glendalough - it'll be welcome fare after a good long walk in the valley and you're guaranteed a warm, homey welcome.

My burger tasted and looked like it had been microwaved my brothers chicken was extremely greasy with next to no sauce and the crushed avocado was either not present or was a white paste.

We…read morewere walking around the town and saw an ad promoting the restaurant because it was featured in the Michelin Guide for a few years. We weren't looking for a full meal, but we stopped in and ordered dessert. We ordered the rich sticky toffee pudding. I've never had it before so I expected more of a pudding consistency, but it was more like chocolate cake. It was good, but not the best dessert I've ever had. The atmosphere was quite and mostly empty. I guess it wasn't dinner rush yet (although it was around 4-5 PM). They do have free wifi here, which is always great to have when you don't have any cell/data service in a foreign country. Ask the bartender for the password!

The dark wood table tops and cast iron bases just make me feel grounded. One of the hosts asked if I had a reservation, and I was almost sad because I didn't expect it. She was kind enough to seat me anyway. I don't know her name, but she was lovely, golden hair, and bright green glasses! I was served by Avinash, who had a warm demeanor. My phone was about 20% and he kindly let me charge it; hence why I do not have any photos of the meal :) at the end of the meal, when I asked for an espresso, Avi came back with my phone as well-- a nice touch of remembrance. I had the slow cooked lamb leg, with potatoes, carrots, and rosemary stuffing with a balsamic mint sauce. It was divine. It was my first meal of the day, and I savored every last bite. The atmosphere was just what I needed. 5/5 would return. And did yall know they got first editions of Bam Stoker, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce??? Sheeesh.

This was a sizable restaurant with an large outdoor seating area. Inside was nicely decorated and busy. I ordered the Seafood chowder that was thick, hot and with nice spice. After two mouthfuls the Corned Beef Rueben came out which made for a difficult decision to eat what first. The corned beef Rueben was ok, not as good as The Temple bar, too dry and a far 10th to my own juicy corned beef. While waiting for the check, I headed to the head to wash up and upon arrival back, my remaining beer was gone and table cleared as they thought I left. I Paid the bill and on my way. Place seems like a great place To hang outside during warmer weather although it seemed the staff was short handed.

This was my first meal in Ireland, and my first experience of Guinness 0.0. We were lucky to be given the last table, as it was Friday night, and there were bus-loads of tourists (for upstairs space). Guinness 0.0 turned out to be too bitter for me, but my husband happily finished my pint, after finishing his own. I was then recommended to try their alcohol-free Chardonnay, which was very nice and more suited my palate. One usually goes to a pub to drink with friends, and wouldn't expect much from the food offerings, but this place obviously puts a lot of thought and effort into their cooking, both in taste and in presentation. Good drinks, good food, and good company, in a loud and happy space - a perfect Irish experience!

It's a nice cosy space with the beautiful view framed vertically by the long row of large connected glass windows. I can imagine sitting up here on an autumn day and the colours being spectacular. I'd say the exterior detracts attention from the interior, which is a good thing as it's pretty bland and non-descript. Thankfully the same couldn't be said about the food which was really gorgeously presented and full of flavour. I went for the crab salad which came in a pot topped with avocado with smoked salmon and toasted rolls with seaweed baked through them on the side. It was just gorgeous. Not huge mind you, which I think may have been on purpose, as there was plenty of room left for the desert. Desert was exquisite. And huge. Not cheap at around 8 euro per portion, but they're huge. We shared two between three and it was loads. We went for the chocolate brownie and creme caramel. Both perfect in their own forms and incredibly moreish. Check out the photos if you don't believe me!
