My husband and I spent two weeks touring a large amount of Michelin reviewed restaurants and this…read morewas the one that fell completely flat. My husband got the shrimp cocktail salad...it came absolutely saturated in sauce. The lettuce was cheap iceberg along with tiny fishy shrimp. There was nothing impressive. When I asked the waitress if she recommended the pecan chicken or the pulled pork, her only response was "well you can have chicken any day". No recommendation regarding flavor/texture. Lastly, our water was frequently empty, silverware fell off while plates were being set down by staff, wait staff seemed uninterested and rude. Overall just an odd experience and we were hoping for so much more.

Friendly staff, everything prompt and efficient. Nice ambiance and everywhere looked clean…read more Liked that seating was spacious enough that we weren't on top of other dinners but it was a bit annoying that staff kept kicking my chair while coming from the pass for dishes. Meals looked lovely and well presented. I went for the Beer battered fish option on lunch menu and my request for mash potato instead of the frozen chips was honoured. Unfortunately potatoes cold and even the warm dish they served in didn't improve temperature so I just had to eat some mash with every bite of fish so the meal wasn't spoiled. Not that I would have wanted the potato microwaved but they should have been tasted or checked before serving. Fish was oozing grease so had to soak it off both sides with the napkins. Fish should have been left to drain off a bit while the potatoes were being warmed. Anyway my sons huge Buttermilk Burger & chips went down a treat. Loved that tea came in a non drip teapot but would have been nicer with a spoon of sugar. After seeing my son drop 2 sugar lumps trying to retrieve them from a tiny jar that teaspoon didnt fit in put me off having any, especially realising that only little fingers could fit in that jar and wondering if the lumps fall out on others 'do they just pop them back in jar again'? More hygienic way of serving sugar should be looked at. Having seen the dinner menu I am interested to go back again and give the Hudson Rooms another try. The ambiance, pleasant staff and competitive pricing has warranted at least another visit with higher expectations.

I have had breakfast and lunch at the Anvil and enjoyed my food on both occasions…read more For lunch I was being good and so ordered the grilled chicken salad with mixed veg which was full of flavour. The mixed veg was a nice addition. As the veg was hot it made the meal more hearty than your usual salad. For breakfast I was feeling hungover so decided to go for their 'traditional' breakfast rather than one of the healthy protein filled options on the menu. The breakfast comes with homemade brown bread or toast and tea/coffee. The highlight was the tasty sausages! Friendly staff and a bright light filled room makes the Anvil a good choice if you are in the area.

Tried here again this weekend! Another family dinner but not with the set menu!…read more To be perfectly honest this place is not a restaurant nor is it a bistro! It's basically a fancy sandwich bar! The menu has about 25 sandwiches to choose from and only about 10 mains! I just don't understand how a restaurant can have so much choice of one food and so little of anything else! Also the thick cut fries are basically half roast potatoes! I got like 15 roasties as opposed to just throwing 25 skinny fries which would of been so Much more appetising! Nobody likes spud overload! Staff are so good, helpful and polite! It's very kid friendly but the menu really lets this place down!

I…read morehave been coming here for years and only the name has changed, the food quality, service and standard has remained the same. It is all excellent. First off the decor is so inviting and cosy and reminiscent of an old gentleman's club or smoking room with large leather seats and dark wood tables. There is an impressive bar and the space is laid out well so that it is ideal for groups and parties as well as intimate dinners for two. But enough about that, lets talk about the food and menu. For me it is one of my favourite menus in Dublin. Good hearty meals and traditional flavours and styles with modern interesting twists like Chicken Lemon and Thyme, Braised Pork Belly and Grilled Goats Cheese, three of my favourites on the menu! As side dished the sweet potato puree and roasted veg are excellent! It is not the cheapest place to eat in the area but it is one of the nicest! Enjoy!

Tucked away from the bustle, but still close enough to where you are, is this cozy kitchen with…read moreplenty of pizzazz but no pretense. Feature 1: you avoid all the tourists while still getting a high-quality dining experience. Start with cod croquettes or Irish scallops, for instance, to kick off the experience nicely, or anything with truffle. The duck confit was nice, as is buffalo ricotta gnocchi, and any fish like roasted cod. These might not be on the menu your visit since things change daily/seasonally, but you'll still have good similar options. Feature 2: The staff are friendly and the environs cozy, especially on a blustery evening. Drink selection is just right, with something for most from cocktails to beer and wine bottle/glass choices. My colleague and I had a lovely time, and I'll return as oft as possible.

What a beautiful event!…read more i've noticed events like this creep up in popularity around Dublin and isn't it a richer place for it. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's nights like this that instill in you a pride in being Irish, and a pride in our past, present and future. Honestly there were some parts that gave me goosebumps, the type I get every now and again when I'm wandering around the city and realise that after eight years away, I can honestly say there is no place in the world I would rather live right now. It's hard to decide what the highlight is. I won't go into massive detail as those before have, but allow me to point out the bones of what makes this into such a gorgeous way to spend a Saturday; - The setting. Old Georgian wooden stairs that are worn down in the middle by hundreds of years of stepping on them, the old crumbling cornicing, the candle lit old antique tables. - The food. Each course was a perfect size, and the perfect representation of modern x traditional Irish cuisine. Quality ingredients, beautifully presented - The talks in between courses by food historian Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire. Funny, informative, nostalgic, and funny again. If you didn't pick up on it already, I would highly recommend this as a night out. For any age, those who live here and are visiting, those who grew up here and those that are now making Ireland their home.

This night was the ultimate night of magic and delicious food - I just had the best time ever here,…read moreand am still thinking about it now. It's a wonderful way of enjoying some Irish history, poetry and music with delicious food. I knew we were in for an amazing night from Emily C's review but I was still totally blown away. Sure, the building itself is a little old and run down, but once we were seated and enjoying the food and wine, that didn't matter. Our host for the evening was awesome, lots of banter and amazing stories. It was really captivating and enjoyable hearing him speak, since and recite poems between courses. Everything was linked back to the food which was just as amazing - traditional Irish scran but served up a bit fancier than normal. Kind of like if your Mum went to a class to learn how to plate her Sunday meals in a nice way? I really enjoyed the food and only the main needed more sauce but they happily delivered us some. Yum. What a fabulous evening, this was a beautiful way to experience Dublin in all its glory.

When we decided on traveling to Dublin, we thought the winding stair looked particularly nice and…read morebooked a dinner here. We were very happy we did! The spot is located up a literal winding staircase that takes you into an inviting room that boasts a lovely view of the river below. We didn't go to the third floor, but I can imagine it was equally lovely. They've got an impressive wine list and a moderate beer list that's predominantly bottle. Interestingly they don't have spirits so the mixed drinks are wine cocktails - boss! I tried a white port and tonic drink - seriously next level! I don't often find wine cocktails and even more rarely are they really good! The menu is impressive and seasonal, save the potted crab and haddock, which are on all the time. It should be know for any who dine with our crew, that we share a lot, so everything we had was enjoyed by all 5 of us. The crab was unbelievable! Creamy, flavorful, magical. The beef cheek and fish plate were also perfect for sharing. We also had two scotch eggs - these could have a Klondike bar (look it up youngins!) like marketing campaign! We shared the Haddock and the Pigs on Green Port Tenderloin. Both were awesome, with the Haddock more memorable. We haven't had such delicious mashed fish since Iceland and the cheddar mash and onions were the perfect accoutrement! The chocolate fondant was delicious and the bread and butter bread pudding was life changing. The whiskey sauce is something I'd swim in if given the chance! It was lick the plate good. The service was spot on and we got out of there for about €50 a person, full and happy! The whole evening was excellent and this place definitely deserves the accolades. If you're in the area, you should check it out!

Located along the river, The Winding Stair offers a modern twist on Irish cuisine with locally…read moresourced ingredients incorporated into every dish on the menu. This is evident by the name drop of some producers in each dish. My family was able to try a scotch egg for the first time, some beef cheek, crab and a charcuterie board with meats from Cork. Even the beers we ordered were local as well, mine from the Waterford area. Our server walked us through this experience with ease and we all couldn't be happier with our time here, especially for a Sunday afternoon when it could have been a lot louder and chaotic.
