    Panko chicken sandwich/burger
    Cindy P.

    The service and ambiance were good; small little spot next to the river. I ordered the Panko chicken burger/sandwich and enjoyed it. It has an interesting mix of flavors with the cheese and jam. I just felt it was a bit over fried.

    Steak

    The ratings do this establishment justice for their food and while they are at least 4.5, I can't go to 5 on the first visit. I Did not have a reservation but snuck in as a single, the luck of the Irish I suspect! Started out with a prawn appetizer in a garlic oil and red chili pepper sauce that was top notch. The dish came with greens and toasted bread as dipping into the garlic sauce was essential and while this was a great dish that came with four pawns, tail separated, only received 3 tails could be found and suspect it was hiding somewhere in the kitchen! Ordered the steak with fries and greens cooked medium and came out as expected. They might have offered a veggie bust missed the opportunity. Steak was perfectly seasoned with no condiments required and barely any gristle. Paired a half carafe of Cabernet that went perfectly with the meal. The service was excellent and friendly and highly recommend this restaurant while visiting Dublin or if local.

    First restaurant I've ate an Ireland (all of Europe really) and the service/staff were very friendly! It's an intimate setting, the food is savory and sweet with a perfect view of the River. Would highly recommend

    Fish and Chips
    Cameron B.

    Named after Phoenix Park nearby, it's a great spot to spend eating dinner. I had their fish and chips. My wife and I loved our food and the service was outstanding. It was a little pricey, but we'll worth it for the quality of food cooked here.

    We were staying at the Hilton Garden Village and had walked to St. Patrick's Cathedral to attend services and then to the Guinness Factory. By the time we walked to Phx after that, we were famished! The place is not large, but has nice seating arrangements, and we had a table facing the street. The staff was very attentive and friendly. It was perfect. I had a local IPA while my wife settled for a nice glass of Chardonnay. I was hungry for Fish & Chips, so that was my selection while my wife ordered the daily special, which happened to be a lamb dish. The fish & chips were awesome. Nice big piece of fish laid on top of a big bed of fries that were crisp, golden, and hot. It was served with a tartar sauce and small bed of salad. The entire dish was absolutely delicious. My wife liked the lamb, but felt that it had a bit too much seasoning and was the texture of pulled pork. I really wanted to try some of the other dishes, but since it was our last day in Dublin, we were not able to return for more. Perhaps on our next visit.

    We really loved this cozy bistro. All the food is phenomenal. Our waitress was bright and delightful. We'd return in a heartbeat. I particularly was fond of the peanut butter brownie. Oh my!

    Steak & Frits + Mushroom Tagliatelle
    Judy C.

    Came here for the lunch special and got the duck liver parfait and the mushroom tagliatelle. Both dishes were amazing. There was more duck liver then there was bread and the server offered to give me more bread which I kindly accepted. Then came the mushroom tagliatelle which kind of left me speechless...the portion was so big that I was only able to eat half and couldn't finish the other which I was really sad about parting with. Would definitely recommend anyone Dublin to give this place a try.

    WHAT A GREAT FIND! We had went to the Jameson Distillery and wanted some place to eat after. PHX has great Google reviews and is close to the Ashling Hotel and Jameson. The food was outstanding and the servers were so nice! Everything was clearly marked on the menu for allergies and pretty much everything on the menu was gluten free already!! They had a fabulous pre-fix menu so it was also extremely reasonable. 100% Recommend!!!!

    I was greatly surprised to find an authentic BBQ joint in Dublin, but here you have it. Don't miss…read morethis place if you are craving smoky meats, creamy Mac 'n Cheese, and sweet & savory sauces. We purchased the platter which included Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork and Wings. Came with two sides, so I had to try the Mac n' Cheese and Baked Beans and it also included fresh dinner rolls. Ribs - smokey and tender. I would love to go back during the lunch rush when they come out fresh, but since we were there around 20:00, they had been sitting for a while. But even though they had been sitting, they were still amazing. They were glazed perfectly, and the tender, juicy meat was amazing. Some would say "fall of the bone" are the best, but that just means they are overcooked. These ribs had just the right amount of tenderness. So amazing. Brisket - also amazing. Had a perfect smoke ring, and was tender and juicy. The slices had the perfect pull, and were so deliscious. Pulled Pork - tender, juicy and succulent. Not mushy as sometimes can happen if it sits too long. This pork was simply amazing. Smokey, moist and perfect. I added some of the BBQ sauce, and it was simply deliscious. Chicken wings - cooked to perfection. Also asked for them to be dry so that we could try the different sauces. So tender and juicy. Mac n' Cheese - sometimes places will have a big pan and will just scoop it out onto the plate. Not here at Smonin' Bones. They make it fressh and put it into a dish, add some extra cheese on top and then broil it. So yummy. I could have eaten a lot more of it. Baked Beans - probably my least favorite of the night. The beans were a little under-done, so they had a little bit of a crunch. But the flavor was good. Keep working on that. Overall a wonderful, delightful surprise.

    Quick review for a quick lunch stop. We shared an Irish Lamb Stew: meat and vegetables in gravy…read morewith a layer of mash(ed potatoes) on top. The meat and veggies were plentiful, the portion generous, and it was tasty enough but maybe on the bland side? It was served with a side of braised red cabbage which we really liked: sweet but not sour like pickled cabbage. And house-made brown stout bread, also very good. The wife had a Guinness and I, thinking it too cliché to order Guinness as a tourist in Ireland, tried a different stout whose name I've forgotten from the ample selection. But comparing the two, so much better! The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Irish dishes, more than most of the similar pubs in the area. As well as the other expected pub type food: sandwiches, burgers, etc. As for desserts, if we were hungrier, the wife might have ordered the Irish Whiskey Bread & Butter Pudding. The hubby would probably get his dessert later, as the selection was limited and neither that nor the Apple Crumble appealed. Sitting at the bar we had a more personalized experience than were we at a table. The bartender offered to take a photo of me behind the bar which I of course accepted. We made the right choice in coming here.

The…read morerestaurant is located within a quieter neighborhood in the city while still walkable to the sights. Far from the crowds of Temple Bar, the restaurant was understated and peaceful. The meal was divine. The restaurant appeared to be a cross between a steakhouse and an Irish pub overing a diverse menu. The restaurant was dark and homey. The staff was attentive and friendly. I'd recommend visiting Bull and Castle during your next trip to Dublin.

    Such a change from the last experience a year ago…read more We had 8:30 PM reservations. Arrived around 8:10 and were told to wait at the bar. No problem, it's NYE, we can wait for out booked time. Less than 5 minutes later we were lead to a table, not even time to order a drink! We shared everything. Ordered cocktails to begin with. They were ok, two different old fashioned drinks. We tried to order bone marrow, scallops, tuna tataki and a Caesar salad as starters. They were already out of the bone marrow and scallops. It's a holiday, you know there are reservations... what?! Poor management and planning!! They recommended the lamb kidneys... never had them before, super gross. I'll never do that again. It smelled like urine! We ordered the burger and 14 oz sirloin to share, medium rare on the steak. Polenta fries, and mashed potatoes. The polenta fries were outstanding! The burger was delicious! Smokey flavor, it was great. It came with huge steak fries, I prefer shoestring. The steak was not tender. Had a better steak sandwich at the Morrison for lunch. All in all, I will not be going back nor recommending this place. The wine I ordered never arrived, our water was never refilled. In fact, after the food arrived, we never saw anyone again!! When the check came with an obligatory 12.5% tip I missed it and paid. Once I noticed, I flipped out!! This was the worst service ever!! I double check tipping culture in Ireland before I complain. 10% is good for good service and bad service is ok to leave zero tip. So I asked for it back. They gave me credit for the tip but not the tax on tip. Unimpressed. Won't go again.
