On our three week trip to Scotland and Ireland, our last three days were spent in Kilkenny. Our apartment just happens to be above the Butcher restaurant. We arrived early in the afternoon, and once the restaurant opened, we were provided with free smells of wonderfully cooking beef. Our plans were to go explore Kilkenny, looking for a place to eat, as the Butcher did not have any available seats. As l've done with other cities around Scotland and Ireland, I walked in, asked Camila if there were any seats available for four, she said we have one available right now. I scurried back and got the rest of the crew, and we were provided with a wonderful meal. We all chose the daily special, which was a 12 ounce ribeye, which we shared between each couple. We also added in salads, as well as grilled vegetables and sautéed mushrooms. All aspects of the meal were really good. I don't recall the name of the server, but he was very good, along with everybody else on the team who were always paying attention, and provided you with anything you needed at a moment's notice. The restaurant was very busy, and I'm surprised we were able to get a table, but Camila did a great job. Great vibe in the place. A bit noisy at first, but a couple large / loud tables settled their bills and left. Quite pleasant then. Thank you! read more

Showed up 30 minutes late because I got the time wrong and figured our reservation was toast. The Butcher Grill is tiny and usually packed, so I thought there was no chance. But the hostess was an absolute gem. She had even tried calling me and still held our table. That kind of kindness already made me a fan before I even sat down. The food was incredible. I'm not usually into beans, but theirs were so good I kept going back for more. The scallops were perfectly cooked, sweet and tender. And the steak... wow. The flavor was out of this world. I've had some great steaks in my life, but this one took the cake. Every bite was rich, juicy, and unforgettable. I ate all over Ireland, and this was hands down my favorite meal of the trip. If you get the chance, do not miss The Butcher Grill. read more

This review is way past due! Quick note: I'm a huge steakhouse conisour. I've tried the best. And with that noted. I have to say that The Butcher Grill is the best steakhouse in Ireland and top 5 for sure in Europe. Small, cozy, intimate, vibes and amazing cuts and wine. Love this place. Can't wait to go back one day! Cheers! To an amazing experience! read more

Outstanding meal with friendly service. We shared two of the larger steaks across our party of 5 along with 4 sides and also had 2 apps and 3 desserts. The beef was beautifully prepared and served pre carved for sharing. We had the Irish beef. It was truly a delicious meal and one of the best ways I've seen steak served since we could enjoy a larger cut without pigging out. read more

We traveled across an ocean and half a continent to have this excellent meal. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection, the sides perfectly complimented the meal and the service was fantastic. The ambiance of the restaurant is very comfortable. Even though it was a 15 hour plane ride, we'll be back! read more

Wow. To start, I had the seared tuna tostados, avocado & chili mayonnaise. Sweet mother. I don't think I have ever eaten anything so flavoursome. Apparently they took this off the menu a while back and there was such a backlash with customers, they were forced to put it back on. I can totally see why. The tuna melts in your mouth, and contrasts completely with the little bits of crispy onion on top, then the coolness of the guac goes perfect with the heat off the radish on top, and I think a little bit of chili in there too. I shared the Côte de Boeuf for main and wow. Was it worth waiting for. Cooked to perfection - juicy and tender inside and a crisp flavoursome crust, it was perfect. Stick a bit of that on your fork, with some onion rings, and these beans, these beans that are cooked with smokey bacon for long periods, well, you have a much fabled perfect bite right there. As other reviewers have mentioned before, yes the staff really do know where their beef is from, what it was fed, and if it had bedtime stories read to it.. ;-) (Reminded me of the 'chicken scene' in Portlandia - here it is if you haven't seen it - replace 'chicken' with 'beef', and you've got the first 3 minutes of our meal last night to a T. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErRHJlE4PGI) Just while I'm talking about the staff, I would say that we had two very different experiences in the one night. Our main waitress was extremely curt, perhaps a little disinterested, and did not flash a smile the whole time we were there. It was rather off-putting and if the food wasn't so good, I would be docking serious points for having to part with my hard earned cash to such a surly lady who did not want to be there, or it seemed, us to be there either. There was another waitress floating around who was the opposite - she radiated happiness and nothing seemed like too much effort for her. It may have been an off-day for the afor-mentioned too-cool-for-schooler, but I actually didn't get that feeling. If I'm paying potentially up to 45 euro for a steak, I better get a free smile with it! read more

The Butcher Grill - Yum - Steakhouses Near Me - Dublin, D

Love it. The decor is wonderful. You feel like you are in a butcher shop with the porcelain white tiles and the tracing of a cow and it's cuttings on the wall is a great touch - very Brooklyn. Small and classic cocktail menu. Wooden counter top that allows you dine at the bar which is great if you are eating alone or with someone. Small inside but that is handled well as Gilli said with the high tables. Service is fantastic. Our server could not have been more friendly and accommodating as we told her we just had 40 mins to dine. She noticed the fine details like the candle's wick had gone and brought a new candle to the table - I like that level of attention. Portions are huge so we shared a 10 oz steak cooked medium rare and it was cooked and flavoured excellently. To start we ordered a range of starters. Prawns, spring rolls, cheesy cauliflower and green beans. Get the prawns for the sauce alone. Our server said that it's a traditional Spanish sauce I believe with almonds and lots of garlic ground in it. The texture, the flavour - I could eat it all day. Loved the cheesy cauliflower - just right not oppressive with the sauce. Thoroughly enjoyed the spring rolls and green beans which were al dente. We stayed with tap water but the wine list looked great, nice and simple. I am a fan of short ever changing menus - seasonal is where it's at. And Butchers Grill is where you should be at, tell them you found them on Yelp ;) read more

Well I stopped using Yelp a while ago (I know, I know, sacrilege!) but after such an amazing time at the Butcher Grill I just had to come back on and do a little ranting and raving. It was for our anniversary dinner so after having a read at the great reviews on here decided to give this place a go! I went to make a booking and all they had was the bar - and I remembered one review saying not to turn it down, they were right! DON'T! The staff were the most accommodating and genuinely nice people I have met when out dining! Grainne who was working behind the bar could not have been more helpful when helping us to decide what to go for and giving a full explanation of all the dishes. And I really want to just thank her for making our night plain awesome! The starters were beautiful, I couldn't get enough of the little toast that came with my soup and my partner had the sticky ribs which were amazing. For the main we ordered the steak for two (cote de beouf if I have that right) and well, it REALLY was worth the wait! My partner is a big meat eater and constantly complains about meat in restaurants to me but I really had to eat quick to make sure I got a taste cause I could barely keep up with him, he was eating it so quickly! I really can't compliment the steak enough, I have been dreaming about it ever since! He wanted to order a dessert, and so ordered the yoghurt ice cream (this was delicious!) with strawberries & honeycomb, we were already having a brilliant night but Grainne had heard us talking about our anniversary in passing to each other and came out with a little candle in the dessert and a plate with "happy anniversary" written in chocolate. I nearly cried (I'm a softy) but its just those nice little touches that will now make me come back again, and again....and again! read more

I went to there Sunday night for dinner. I made a reservation. There're full of table, so if you wanna go to there, I recommend that you should make a reservation. I ordered Tuna Tostados for starters, Côte de Boeuf, Sirloin steak and house salad for main. Côte de Boeuf for two, but I could eat alone!haha:D and we ate Vanilla crème brulee and coconut panna cotta for desserts. Everything was delicious even cocktails. If you want to eat delicious beef, you should eat it at this restaurant. read more

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Dublin!! I've been many, many times and it has never been disappointing. It's a small place and the staff are ever so friendly. One complaint is the comfort of the seats! It is literally like sitting on a plank of wood (if you've got an outside seat - the wall seats are slightly better) because that's what it is!! I'm a steak fan and I don't think I've found better steak than at the butcher grill. Once me and my uncle opted for the 30OZ! T-bone which was amazing!!! The sides are really good too! Smokey beans and chips are two of my favorite... The decor is cool with a big picture of a cow outlining all the parts to put you in the mood for some steak! A key factor of any restaurant, the toilet, impresses me also. Lastly, The coffee and deserts are really good and + You'll always meet some cool people there. Last time we were waiting for a table off Johnny Sexton!! read more

The Butcher Grill - 30oz t bone tasty stuft - Steakhouses Near Me - Dublin, D

Sublime! This place absolutely does it right. Friendly staff, intimate and clean restaurant, knowledgeable, and wonderful food. This is the best meal that I have had in Ireland, HANDS DOWN. The "smokey old fashioned" cocktail had wonderfully complex layers of flavor and was crafted perfectly, not rushed, and came with a piece of bacon that actually complimented the flavor and wasn't there just for show. My entree was the "Milk fed veal striploin, crispy sweetbreads, giroles, broad beans, herb gnocchi." I didn't know what to expect from this dish but let me tell you, I was blown away. The veal was tender and not overcooked, the sweetbreads left you wanting more and the rest of the flavors on the plate seemed to just compliment each other so nicely. Wow, what a dish. Please let me advise you that no matter how full you are from your meal, you should at least order the "Banana Fritter, salted carmel ice cream & cookie crumbs" to share. I'm running out of adjectives to explain everything, this dessert was nothing short of pure decadence. Be warned that it is very rich, but order it anyway, it's perfect for two people to share. The Bucher Grill is a wonderful example of the direction in which Irish cuisine is headed. If you are visiting and looking for a place to eat, this is it. But if you're a tourist, like I was, DON'T ACT LIKE AN IDIOT. Don't make substitutions and special requests, trust that they know what they are doing. Be polite, tip well, enjoy the experience, and try not to give the rest of us travelers a bad name by being ignorant. read more

My husband and I came here again recently for dinner to give the butcher grill another go. I will say, that this time instead of ordering the cote de boeuf, I got the hanger steak, and my husband ordered the american strip sirloin. Both of our steaks were VERY tasty, and in fact I think the hanger steak I had was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. We again got the tostadas, which are just SOOO good. We learned from our mistake last time with the sides, and instead got the french fries and mashed potatoes with bone marrow butter. This went MUCH better with our dish than the onion rings we had before. All in all, service and food was good, but PRICEY. My husband's steak was 44 euros for 10 ounces BEFORE we added sides. I wouldn't say that his steak was worth 44 euros, but my hanger steak was most definitely worth every morsel he 27 euros. read more

Oh.My.God. How did it take me so long to try this place? Wait, I know how, they're always fully booked. With good reason! This is a really small steak place. They serve meat and a fish of the day, they have delicious cocktail, and I guarantee you that you will have a delicious meal. I had the striploin steak, with caramelized onions and butter spinach. For a side, I got the mashed potato with bone marrow sauce. I could have this side for a main dish, but then the main dish was also too good. The steak was perfect for a medium, so lean and had no fat. It was heavenly. For a dessert, we decided to go for cocktails. They serve a mean old fashioned which comes with a piece of bacon in it. The drink was absolutely amazing. I would like to go back and try the teres major dish with baked bone marrow. I wanted to take that this time but decided to go with something I know I like in order to compare it with other steak places, and that was the right call. read more

Wait time: from being seated til ordering/anyone checking on us/drinks order - 25 minutes. Yes I know it's busy. I understand, but my god! Too long! Food: very good. Awesome ribs. I love ribs. I asked for a side which wasn't on the menu (onion rings, c'mon guys! It's a steak house!) but that's ok, they made them anyway. Price: expensive. Well 19 for a portion of ribs? Bit expensive but honestly worth the price. Maybe as a celebration restaurant? Wouldn't be dining every day! read more

Best cut of meat I have ever tasted. Period. The Côte de Boeuf was amazing! Service was 5 stars, there was some issue with our table when we arrived so we had to wait 20 minutes and for that we got upgraded on the wine (for the price of a cheaper one) which was a nice touch. Prices are not cheap, but that is expected in a city like Dublin (expensive). Great experience, out of tourist attractions (you won't find many tourists here). read more

Gosh, I'm gonna gush. If you can't take it, get out ma kitchen. It's flowing bovine stars... The Butcher Grill was, hands down forks up, one of the best meals I've had in months. My husband works in Dublin most weeks and had been here with a group of colleagues a few weeks ago. He's a carnivore with a refined palate -- and a huge fan. Thankfully we made it back this past Saturday, reserved a seat for 2 at the bar (recommended for a great experience!), enjoyed some fantastic cocktails, ate a lot of meat, and returned home infinitely happy. I started with an Aviation (quite perfect) and he with a Bloody Mary. I followed with a Negroni (a bit strong for me!) and he switched to a dirty martini (he likes them very strong I guess!) -- then beer. The cocktail list is wonderfully curated, and each created with care. At 12 euros each, they run a little steep but each drop is pretty much drunken gold. The wine list also looks lovely -- the Bovine (house) bottles line the wall, hugging the walls with booze. Indeed! Starters: warm bread with olive oil (complimentary, simple yet perfect), the squid fricasse (arguably the best thing we ate!) and the tuna tostadas with fresh guacamole. The starters on their own were so delightful, I thought that perhaps the mains would not measure up. Not the case, my friends. Not the case...did you guess? ;) We split the CoteduBoeuf (meant for 2 people), which is one huge slab of steak, onion rings and spicy black eyed beans. We added on a side of the greens for ruffage and good measure. It's 28 euros/pp -- but on Mondays/Tuesdays it just runs 20/pp -- a steal! The steak was good, but I ended up wishing I'd gone for the newly minted, Irish-grown Wagyu Beef on offer just to see what it was like. Room for more? Not really but we opted for tiramisu and a cappuccino. GLUTTONY! The t-su was standard, but certainly didn't disappoint. Did I need it? No. Ha! The real star is the service. Our barman -- didn't catch his name -- not only served as DJ (great tunes that didn't interfere, but complemented the vibe), but created the cocktails, took the orders, coordinated the kitchen runs, and basically didn't stop moving/working for the 2 hours we sat there. He answered questions, showed true passion -- perhaps he was the owner? I don't know. If he wasn't, then that owner needs to pay him more. I was blown away at how great the service was. It's certainly not cheap, but is worth every bit. Some notes: *The restaurant is quite small, so especially on weekends -- make a reservation. *Don't be put off by seats at the bar (if they are available). The service is stellar and it still felt private. Almost like a Chef's Table! Make a reservation. Today. read more

On the recommendation of Annie we went here. I was starving! Parking we were told can be tricky but we parked outside the door. The walk through the door and move the curtain and it is like walking into Aladin's cave for meat eaters. We were there on a Sunday evening and it was very busy so I would suggest that you book. The tables are high and you can eat at the counter this actually is a good idea as the place is quite small but the design does not make you feel cramped. We were handed perfect white lined napkins, knife, fork, menus, bread (gorgeous) and oil. Looking at the wine list I did not recognise any names so decided on the house wine (glass) and offered a choice of 3. They were great as we were able to taste a couple before deciding on the one we liked best. The menu was not vast as it does not need to be and we decided to share baby ribs with coleslaw and a side of fries (remember I was starving). Ribs arrived and we tucked in ...messily! They were gorgeous. The coleslaw had a healthy kick of horse radish (enough to clear any sinus passage) and the chips were the best I have ever had. Finger bowls were at the ready and I gorged my way through. Huge delema (?sp) as I then had to wipe mucky fingers and face on the napkins which we commented on to the lovely man behind the counter who said it was quite okay and would we like another napkin. Pure bliss. For me the best part of eating out with a friend is I can share the food which is particularly as you feel less guilty eating a dessert when shared even if you do eat the lions portion. The dessert was chocolate mousse topped with cream, fruit and little biscuits. Perfection. read more

This was the backup plan when the place I wanted to go (The Sussex) was closed on that day. Had I known how amazingly good The Butcher Grill was, it would never be merely a backup. A bit off the beaten path, the food coming out of this tiny restaurant is stunningly good. Perhaps the best meal I've had in my many visits to Dublin. Sitting at the counter (we were lucky to get that; the place was packed) and observing dishes coming out of the kitchen, it was clear that steak was the winning option. On that given evening (a Sunday), the Cote de Boeuf for two was on discount (45 Euro, instead of the usual 58), so my colleague and I opted for that. Ahead of our entree, we enjoyed a Smokey Old Fashioned, and interesting take on a classic featuring Woodford Reserve bourbon, homemade pecan bitters,fresh oak smoke, candied bacon. Along with that, we also enjoyed the Seared tuna tostados, served with avocado salsa, chipotle mayo, crispy shallot. Delicious and an excellent way to prime for the meal ahead. Served on a wood cutting board, the magnificent Cote de Boeuf came sliced and perfectly medium rare. On top were two big, crunchy onion rings and along side a serving of rich, smoky black eyed beans with bacon. From first bite to last, I couldn't stop thinking that this was one of the best steaks of my life. Service was efficient and courteous. Decor is fairly rustic and low-key, but entirely fitting with the no-nonsense food on offer here. I will certainly be back next time in this lovely city. read more

First, let me apologize for the not-so-profound review. I should really go into detail and explain why this place deserves one my rare five star ratings. But I can't . It's been a while since I've been there but all I remember is -seriously- the best steak I have ever had. Cooked to perfection - juicy, tasty, naturally flavored, in one word: fantastic. And apparently so fantastic that even after eating at 100+ steakhouses after, I still think this was the best. What I like about it is that they really focus on the meat. You can order side dishes but the meat is really the main part here. And you should really appreciate it. Don't ruin it with some gravy on the side. Be prepared to pay a lot for your steak (I believe the most expensive one was for 50 Euro) but you'll pay for a steak you'll never forget. Awesome food, great service, cute restaurant. This place is ON. read more

It's intimate (cramped, if you are a grumpy sort). Babies and tots not welcome (no space for Quinny strollers common among the D6 breeders). The staff are attentive (several refills of tap water without request). You can watch the chefs over an open dining counter (material for your Masterchef professional kitchen fantasies). The best part: the meat was delicious. Jealously drooled over the Cote de Bouef on a neighbouring table. We hadn't allowed the 40 minutes cooking time. Had the veal: perfect. The sauce a little over seasoned. Tip: the portions are generous and side orders not really necessary. read more

I love this place. The only problem is the table reserves. Sometimes you can enter with a lot of free tables. The best steaks in Dublin!

I dropped into this nice little spot per chance when visiting relations in Dublin once upon a time. There isn't much room so it feels intimate and almost cramped. The service was good, though, and overall the place has a lot of character in a good way. I don't recall what everyone else had but my beef short ribs were fantastic. The meat was braised to perfect tenderness (soft but not baby food) and the unctuous sauce (Guinness based?) covered it in a rich, velvety goodness. I couldn't have picked a better meal for a frigid winter night. The rest of the menu also looks exciting so hopefully I get the opportunity to dine here again. The Butcher Grill reminds me of the excellent restaurants typical of San Francisco... and that is a good thing. read more

Arrived for our reservation on a Sunday evening at 8:15pm to no waiting, which is always a bonus, but not always a given in Dublin. Situated in an converted butchers in Ranelagh, The Butcher Grill is the newest venture by the people behind Dillingers. The decor is plain wood and the original shop tiles. Seating is at the bar or a selection of high tables with stools and benches. The staff are full of smiles, very friendly and don't make it an overly formal experience. From making drinks that were not on their menu to their general attentiveness, they helped make the experience extremely pleasant. For drinks we had a Martini and a Gimlet. The Gimlet was not on the menu, but the tender did an excellent job with it. To start we had the baby back ribs and four oysters on the half shell. My companion assures me the oysters were wonderful. The baby back ribs were delicious, the sauce was great, so much so, I found myself mopping it up with the entree bread we were given upon sitting down. Main course was the strip-loin surf and turf medium rare for both. The steak was served on a wooden board with the prawns, in shell, on top with just the right amount of sauce. The prawns were lovely, the sauce not too busy too or heavy. For someone who isn't normally so fond of the strip-loin cut, the steak was great and brought no complaints. Desert was an amaretto fogatto - homemade icecream in a martini glass with espresso and amaretto poured over it. A first for me and a wonderful combination. Having arrived relatively late in the evening for a restaurant whose kitchen closes at 9:30 - we were left hassle free to drink and relax in our own time with no pressure to leave from the staff who were always up for a little bit of banter. It is worth noting that while the restaurant says children are welcome until 6pm, with the high stools and tables I can't really see how this would be comfortable. It is also, perhaps, a little on the pricey side for some. You can do it for between 20 - 40 per person, but for a full meal with drinks and wine, you could be spending quite a bit in comparison with some of the other places around the city. The Butcher Grill is a superb addition to both the Ranelagh night life and the greater Dublin. I will be going back when I can. Try and go here. read more

Went here on a Friday nights and really enjoyed it! It's a small place but it has a nice ambiance. The staff were friendly and service was relatively quick. I ordered venison which was excellent - perfectly cooked and lovely flavour to the vegetables. However, portions were small, so I'd recommend getting a starter as well. It was ok valve for money. I'll definitely go again! read more

We went to the Butcher Grill, yesterday (Tuesday) at around 19.00. We didn't have a booking but were able to get the last table available. So I recommend you to book in advanced. [Food] We ordered: Apertive: - 1 Glass of red wine. - 1 Glass of campary w/soda. Starter: - Artichoke - Must try if you like artichoke in general. - Olive - - Seared tuna tostados, avocado salsa, chipotle mayo, crispy shallot - These are two tostados. I really enjoyed it, the combination of flavours was just perfect. However, I wouldn't recommend it, if you don't like fish, in fact my wife didn't like, and yes I was lucky enough to it both :) Main: - 24oz CôteDeBoeuf w/ smoky beans & sage onion rings (for two) only - Just perfect, we asked for eat medium/well done, and it was exactly half of eat medium and the other half well done. The onion rings we so nice too, but I had the impression that they were fried on the same oil as fish usually is. About the meat, it was the tenderest meat I ever it in Ireland. (This is usually 58€ but because it was Tuesday, the price was actually 45€, they do this on Monday and Tuesday) - Fries - Dessert - White chocolate panna cotta - Delicious. - Creme brulee - Delicious. - 1 Espresso. The bill was 104.00€, the staff was really nice and always reachable when we needed something. I you still not convinced about this place, I must tell you that everything, even the fries, were home-made. Ps. I am sorry if I did not post pictures, but I was too busy eating, that I couldn't take any picture :D read more

Went with Mrs. B - she booked it and I have to hand it to her...she pulled it out of the bag with this place. It's a really funky little place and the tables are slightly on top of each other but I honestly didn't notice because I enjoyed my experience here so much. We shared the Cote de boeuf and even thinking about it makes me salivate. The staff were so helpful and willing to give their opinion without being pushy. On the slightly more expensive side of things but you pay for what you get and here you get the real deal. Next time I go, I'd like to get a seat at the bar! read more

The place is so cute and intimate, with the old butcher tiles still lining the walls, an open kitchen so the smells of grilled meats flow through the small establishment and high wooden tables and stools for you to sit on and enjoy your evening. The food was fantastic albeit expensive, but so worth the cost, rather than going to your usual every month, save and go to this. The waitress we had knew all about each steak, how it should be cooked, what kind of cow it was (is?) and what the best complements would be. Th atmosphere was so chilled, with dim lighting and a small seating area. You could eat your meat in a relaxed not stuffy place and have a great conversation over the table. I oddly went for the fish..but it was divine! Save up, go, eat. Be a carnivore read more

I found this gem on Yelp before arriving in Dublin. Made a reservation for a Thursday night and the overall experience was fantastic. Quaint and lively place with great ambiance and music. Greeted by friendly staff and seated immediately; place was a full-house. I ordered the flank steak from the special, my father ordered the beef tartare, and my mother ordered the burger. My steak was delicious; tender, perfectly seasoned rich with flavor. My father said the tartare was the best he's ever had and it is something he orders if it is on the menu. And the burger was scrumptious; cooked exactly medium rare and onion rings were a perfect added touch. We dined here our second night in Ireland and my dad raved about the place the rest of the trip. Best meal in Ireland! read more

Was lucky enough to be a guest here recently. Had never been so a real treat. Started with some Pacific Oysters, lovely small fresh Oysters. The host had the Tuna tostados which looked very good also. Main was a hangar steak which was delicious, others had the Cote de Boef, and the rib eye, I tasted them all and they were delicious, lovely meat, full of flavour and a nice texture, all steaks were well cooked, accompanying sides were excellent. I shared a cheese plate which was quite good, not all the cheese was in great shape. I also tasted a chocolate dessert which was very good. A lovely evening. read more

Very good restaurant. Three of us went and two of us decided to go for the Donald Russell 30 oz steak. The meal came to about 180 for 3 with a bottle of wine. The food was top class and can't fault it. We arrived and had a few drinks on us. Only docking it a star because when the bill arrived we were charged for an extra steak. We all thought they might have been trying to pull a fast one as they thought we were drunk. Apart from that, I would recommend :) read more

The Butcher Grill - Donald Russell black Angus t bone for 2 . 30oz - Steakhouses Near Me - Dublin, D

Ok, let's start with the good, and there's a lot of it: Starters - 1 x Scallops & 1 x Steak Tartare, very good. Cocktails - Smokey Old Fashioned is nice (but could be a bit more bourbon heavy) Dessert - Rhubarb creme brulee, really excellent. Service - attentive and helpful without being intrusive, absolutely perfect. However, the bad - or not so much bad as mediocre. We came for the steak, ordered the Côte de Boeuf, and to be perfectly honest it was quite underwhelming. Maybe we were just unlucky with the piece of meat we got but it was quite fatty, and in terms of portion size, it wasn't a lot of meat for two people. Tasty enough, but not worth the price. The beans/fries/onion rings are all good but it was disappointing that the steak didn't live up to expectations. Will give it another try at some point in the future though. read more

I consider myself a pretty experienced steak eater, but hands down the beef in Ireland is some of the best meat I've ever eaten. I just got my mind blown away by this 30oz T-Bone! This place does it prober! read more

The Butcher Grill - 30oz T-Bone, Mash with bone marrow butter and broccoli. - Steakhouses Near Me - Dublin, D

This place is overpriced as you can eat in Shanahan's for the same money and the ambience, food and service is way better there. However, they used to serve a seriously good burger but unfortunately they've changed the recipe so it's not quite as stellar. The starters and cocktails can be excellent but it's a small cramped space that I much preferred as Burritos & Blues. You won't have a bad meal here, but it's going to cost you. read more
