Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Food: We came here for dinner one night. I ordered the 6oz sirloin well done (comes with fries, onions & mushrooms). 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!

Why they called it The Bram Stoker I have no idea, once you stepped inside there was nothing to do with Bram to be seen. Anyway, the batman, who I would think was the owner, was very friendly and I ordered a beer. But when I asked about ordering the chicken wings he said he would get some one to come down to me. As it turns out there is a restaurant, called Indigo, down the back of the pub and they cover all the food orders for the pub. It took quite a few mins before she appeared, though she was very friendly. The 'large buffalo wings' left a lot to be desired, they were not large by any sense of the word. I went with the BBQ sauce as she informed me, when I asked, that 'Franks sauce' contained Tabasco. They were alright but they weren't going to fill me up for the night. Before the waitress had come down to me I had asked the barman if he had any newspaper I could read. He said he was sorry he didn't but offered me a tourism magazine he had at the end of the bar. (it was in pristine condition and I would say had only been open a few times) After news, tourism would be my next best read in a pub... And I always like to know what Bord Failte are spewing to the tourists, what crap is m***pages.ie? :p Anyway I digress, finished the food and tried looking for the bill, going to the bar as I couldn't see the young lady, and was informed she would be sent down.... Another few minutes later. All in all the pub and barman were very nice and welcoming, the food delivery situation - and the food itself - leave a bit to be desired. Come in here for a quite pint if you are tired walking along the Coast Rd path..... You can't miss the big sign.

The rooms are very basic - no luxury here, no sir. Hard mattresses, 80's furniture. The afternoon we checked in, a dog in the neighbor's yard (the rooms face a row of residential back yards) barked nonstop for two hours when we were trying to take a nap. The staff seemed baffled when we told them, and not particularly helpful. The staff is the hotel's main weakness. There was a very unfriendly woman waiting tables when we went down to the restaurant and our waiter was an absolute snot. He made it more than clear, waiting on us was a big hassle for him. The reason I give the hotel a three is they have a beautiful, inviting restaurant and a surprisingly great craft beer selection. If they can upgrade the rooms to match the restaurant and fire the rude staff, they might have something.

I ordered a cocktail which came out quickly and was delicious, but then service was a little hit or miss. Not bad, but we did have to flag down our server a couple of times. I'm thinking they may have had more guests than expected mid-week. The chicken burger had an amazing crust, which was crispy and flaky - unique texture. However, the shape of the patty was a little awkward, which made it hard to eat the sandwich and I had to go in with a fork and knife. Overall a nice place to hang out and grab a meal, but a couple execution issues had me take off a star.

The staff was kind and attentive, and overall, the food was very good. I started with the Guinness brown bread and soft cream cheese. It was delicious, although I found the bread a little too dense and wished I had ordered the focaccia instead. I tried the rare-breed pork ribeye, which was beautifully presented but unfortunately a bit dry. The beef ribeye, on the other hand, was delicious, especially paired with the crispy beef dripping chips. But the real star of the meal was the sticky smoked short rib mac and cheese. Absolutely delicious and something I would not skip!

We chose outdoor seating (of which there was plenty), under the umbrellas and by the brick building. The one-way street with the periodic passing of a car, bicycle, or pedestrian didn't bother us. Orders: Lady Olives (app), Bread (side), Spicy Italian Salamella Pizza, Vegetarian and Classic Italian Sandizza, and Cream of White Onion Soup (app). After the adult beverages, the Lady Olives reached our table next and surprised us with an earthy and sweet condiment of basil mayo that complimented the salty olives. Our main courses arrived and I shared the Spicy Italian Pizza and the fresh focaccia bread. The pizzas and flatbreads are wood-fired and the fermented dough provided a nice firm and chewy crust. The flavors of Salamella sausage and the fresh basil, garlic, and chili meshed well with the chewy cheese. The focaccia bread was indeed fresh! Light and airy yet with substance finished off with olive oil. I couldn't let the fresh whipped butter go to waste and each bite melted in my mouth. Everyone else enjoyed their food and adult beverages - Aperol Spritzes, Rockshore Irish Lager, and Prosecco. The service was friendly but slow. Other reviews have noted poor service, but ours was okay. Note: The Lunch Menu is slightly different than the Dinner Menu and more favorably priced.

It has a nice quiet atmosphere, no-one else was there at the beginning, and our waitress was very helpful and friendly. I really wanted to like this place, but the food itself missed the mark. We didn't expect a fine dining experience, we were just hungry and this was near our hotel. With the exception of an excellent soup and salad, everything had some kind of problem, in fact it was very inconsistent. The soup was excellent but served with wheaten bread that was not fresh. The salad was very good, fresh and looked great as a dish. Then I sensed that what I was eating as a mains was a heated up frozen veggie burger. My son had the fish and he liked it, but we ordered a side of chips/fries and we had to ask for it a few times, when it came, we were already finished the rest of our food, about 45 mins later, and they were cold and soggy. I am Irish and lived in Dublin for several years, so I know a lot of the local restaurants, I don't have unrealistic expectations. The Girl and the Goose is in a perfect location and it is a cute place with a charming atmosphere, but they need to do something about the food quality they are serving. Hopefully it was just an off day, but unfortunately, I can't recommend it after trying it this time.

After reviewing their menu, I decided on their Golden Crisp Scampi. Without a description, I thought this was a breaded shrimp scampi and boy I was wrong. I ended up receiving fried breaded shrimp and fries with a tartar sauce and mushy peas. The shrimp was delicious. The breading was good and crispy. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The fries were average. My friend had the Chicken Caesar Salad that I tried and didn't particularly like as I thought the chicken was overcooked. After I enjoyed my shrimp, I was talked into ordering the tiramisu cheesecake. The waitress mentioned this was homemade so she swayed me. I am so happy I listened. This was the highlight of my dinner and the best dessert I had while on my trip to Ireland. I consider myself a tiramisu connoisseur as this is my favorite dessert, so I have tried lots and lots of tiramisu in many different forms and I will say this one is on my top 3 favorites! It was creamy, flavorful, and light. The flavors were delicate and all of the ingredients work so beautifully together. We had a great overall experience, the breaded shrimp was delicious, the tiramisu was outstanding and the service was exemplary! I would definitely return if I were in the area.
