We all ordered different things and all of them were presented perfectly , the taste was amazing. I add some ham hock & truffle terrine, followed by a pork belly with neck croquette, caramelized apples and pork popcorn; it was without a doubt the best pork belly i tried so far. We were drinking a Bordeaux cru bourgeois 2008, for €31 and a very aromatic luberon white for €26. We were 8, they asked us if a service charge was OK with us (???), first time I've been asked (do appreciate), we said yes. It came at 45 per person with dessert and coffee ( around half a bottle of wine each). Service was efficient and very friendly. We were very impressed, will be back .

On a positive note, the focaccia was enjoyable. Our companions savored the Shepherd's Pie and pork belly, yet considering the average quality of the meal, we felt we could have found better value elsewhere for MUCH less. The server, Eduardo,, was amazing. Our favorite part of the whole experience.

We read through many reviews to find just the right place to have dinner our last night in Dublin,…read moreand Bloom Brasserie turned out to be the perfect choice. As James Joyce fans we loved the name as well. An atmospheric space with stone walls, dimly lit with real candles, Bloom is beautiful without being pretentious. Warm welcoming service by Paraic and Breege throughout the evening. First we sampled their homemade brown bread, absolutely divine. We both started with foie gras and toast which was smooth, creamy and utterly yum. My local duck breast with spinach and potato main was very flavorful and a generous portion. Partner's mushroom risotto was a bit cheesier than he generally prefers but he said it was still very good. We were too full for dessert but were comped shots of Bailey's Irish Cream, a perfect ending. Paraic even called a taxi for us afterward, such a lovely gesture. We'll definitely return to Bloom Brasserie next time we're in Dublin, and recommend them highly.

We booked through the Edit by Chase Travel and got free breakfast for 2 daily, early check in, a room upgrade, and $100 credit. The breakfast buffet was delicious. We used the credit for their afternoon tea and it was just ok. At 65 euros per person, the food wasn't up to par. I'd suggest their other menu items - those looked great. The early check in was super generous. We came at 11am and got a room within 15 minutes. The only drawback of the hotel is that it is a 30 minute walk from the city center. It was fine for my husband and I because we enjoy walking when traveling but it might not be everyone's preference. There was a huge theatre right next to the hotel and it seems like a very popular place to catch a show.

This might be one of my favorite meals of all my travels. We were immediately seated and taken care of in a small cove. It was very secluded and quiet for a nice date night. The service was on top of it, someone at the table every few minutes. It's definitely an experience. They have some phenomenal wine options by the glass or bottle. We started with the avocado ponzu which omg really set the stage, it had perfect flavors. My fiancé got the duck, which was so tender and flavorful and the pepper sauce (mousse?) was to die for. I got the potato dumplings on the vegetarian menu and they had chunks of perfectly cooked morels! The sauce and the flavors were so delicately paired and showed the no brainer of why this spot is recognized my Michelin. We also got the side of carrots and the aroncini, both super tasty. It was a wonderful meal, definitely an experience. I was impressed with the prices, I expected much more expensive for a place of this type, but it's very fair and makes it attainable for almost anyone to splurge on a delicious meal. 1000000/10 probably one of the best restaurants I've eaten at, highly recommend.

The gentleman who greeted me was pleasant and took my coat and offered to take my bag as well. I was escorted to the second room where multiple individuals were there to greet me. They recommended a berry vodka martini to start. It was sweet but not overpowering. I was given an appetizer of the tartare which was beautiful and delicious. For dinner I ordered the halibut with broccoli as a side. I would have sworn the halibut was cooked sous vide (don't know if that's how it was but it was amazingly soft and delicate). I could have ate the broccoli as a full meal it was amazing. The team here would come and check on me and have casual conversations with me. They were engaged and I enjoyed the conversations. For dessert I chose the crème brûlée. This was probably the best brûlée I can remember ever having. As most places in Europe there was no rush and I enjoyed my experience peacefully. Everyone thanked me for coming and the gentleman at front recalled the rest of my time here and conversed a bit before leaving. I loved this place and absolutely will recommend making a reservation here.

Just over the Sean O'Casey bridge and right in the heart of uber-sleek IFSC shopping district, this is the kind of restaurant I wouldn't mind making a habit of. Our table was in the rooms under the main restaurant, enjoying a full view of the massive wine vault (glass fronted for maximum drooling) and stand-and-your-there bar access. The restaurant was buzzing that night but we could have been the only table there. The staff were, as to be expected, experienced professionals - suggesting wine / food combinations with practised calm. After a starter of oysters I opted for steak (done rare, pinking my mash so deliciously) and a good glass of red. If my little notebook could fit in my fashionably slim clutch, I could report on the name and pedigree of the selection. Suffice to say, it was tasty! Finishing off with espressos and a chocolate marquis, we raised our glasses, toasted the evening and wondered how to finagle another visit.

I've tried the lunch time carvery a couple of times, and snuck in for a quick pint after work on the odd occasion. Because it's sort of in the middle of nowhere, Branagan's gets a business crowd from Elm Park and the hotel guests. There's plenty of dark wood, the big couches are comfy, everything's clean, and the carvery is standard fare, although slightly overpriced. The best thing about this place is the fact that each time I've been there has been a real character or two at the bar. Pop in, enjoy a (quite good) pint and talk to somebody wearing corduroy - they might be a retired sociologist or spy!

Most of the customers seemed to be staying at the Tara Towers Hotel, of which it is a part, and at least when I was here there was very few locals.

It's not a bad pub, it's just nothing special at all.
