    Buffalo chicken
    Amanda C.

    We stopped in here after a long day of shopping! The servers were nice and the buffalo chicken calzone (folded pizza? I forget the name) was amazing. It was served with a nice salad and some guacamole, but the whole thing was amazing. I finished it all. The place seemed lively and had a few groups eating in there while we were there. I wish I could have this again lol

    We just went here for our first day in Ireland. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. I love all of the pizza options!

    Ate here recently for lunch as we casually walked around the shopping district in Dublin. Though the restaurant was very tight and crowded the food was pretty decent. I did not know that my pizza would come with a bunch of arugula piled high in the middle of the pie, but other than that I was pleased with the pizza that I ordered. The name of it currently is escaping me. The service was very good as well. People with me agreed this was a nice stop.

    Curry and rice
    Maddie H.

    A trendy spot in Dublin for the younger crowd. After reading the reviews of fellow Yelpers it appears I made a wrong choice of what I ordered so I partially blame this review on myself. It seems like pizza is the thing to get here and now I am sad that I didn't. I ordered the curry and rice. Although it was an okay dish it was both lacking the heartiness of curry at local pubs or the flavor profile of a Thai curry. It came off as a dish that wasn't quite imitating a proper curry from any culture. I did think that the presentation, the ambiance here and the service was all pretty good. I am not sure I'd return since it wasn't one of the more memorable meals that I had in Ireland, especially for dinner.

    Lively cafe off the shopping district of Grafton Street. We met up with friends who come here often whenever they're in town. It has a family friendly menu and the pizzas come in two sizes. We were able to reserve a table at lunch for our large group. It does get a bit loud during the height of lunch hour but we were able to hear one another. Once we were served, we really didn't get much attention from the wait staff. We needed to ask for condiments like ketchup and vinegar. Our food was pretty decent but nothing really stood out in flavor. I'd return again for the convenience.

    Very nice staff, good pizza, great drinks and cosmos that are not that expensive! Nice, relaxed environment. Free WIFI! Just ask for the password.

    Starter - Ceasar Salad
    Michael A.

    Excellent food, I have had many a good meal here over the years! the portions may not be huge, but the combinations of flavours are second to none! The service always comes with a smile the staff are polite and always willing to help. :) When it gets really busy it is hard to hear what your saying, but the atmosphere of the place becomes electric ... but then again I usually go to restaurants to eat not to talk, so it really doesn't bother me ;)

    This place has such a unique menu compared to many other restaurants in the area! We ordered pizza and both really enjoyed it. They were new and exciting flavors and it was very reasonably priced. Perfect portion size. One star off for very slow service, but they were friendly.

    This is where we held the UYE Coronation Brunch for Dublin Yelp Queen Fiona L. 8 yelpers including the Queen herself attended the event! This was my first time here, I chose from the Brunch menu (which is only available on Sundays or Bank Holidays) I went for the chicken ciabatta which came with side portion of chips, (see attached photograph). It tasted nice but the chicken was a little bit cold, the sauce was tasty and warm though. Other yelpers opted for a desert type of brunch - banana pancakes and french toast, I had a taste of both of these and they were delicious especially the french toast and maple syrup, yum! The place is spacious with friendly staff, who brought us all glasses of water while we were waiting to order( I like places that bring you water without you having to ask!) All the walls are covered in framed rolling stones magazines with iconic images on the cover. Cool vibe to the place and lovely for a nice Sunday brunch! I will probably go for a desert when I go back again :)

    Prawn Starter - bit oily but nice seasoning
    Daniela H.

    Gotham is something different! Have been in there yesterday since a year or so, used to go here of lunch quite a lot when I was working in the area too. They have great deals and choices for all kind of types - if you prefer healthy or munchie. The style of the cafe/restaurant is amazing, Rolling Stone magazine covers. American Diner style but chic. Food is more Mediterranean I'd say, the pizza is really nice, crispy, fresh and good amount on topics on it..the salads are worth the money too and also antipasti platter - yum yum yum. Wouldn't go for starter and main without doing the lunch deal, as the starters are only ok-ish, they could have some less random choices.

    Gotham Cheesecake
    Vlad O.

    Not bad, not amazing. Just above average. Came here with the family recently for some food. Read good things online and it was in a suitable area. We all ordered some drinks, a starter, main and a dessert. The starter came out and was pretty great I must admit. If you do go here, get the garlic butter prawns. Rich in texture and flavour, a decent size portion and presented very well. I think this may have gotten my hopes up somewhat for the main. Now okay, I did order pizza, probably not the best thing to judge the place by but still felt like they could have done a little bit better. The pizza was plain, lacking a certain something that I can't exactly put my finger on. The expectation of a restaurant pizza for me is that it would have a different taste to one ordered from the local delivery place, maybe a different tasting dough, a special sauce or even just a selection of unusual toppings. This claimed to have the odd toppings and a funky name to go with it but for some reason I felt like I had just gotten my regular Dominos or Mizzoni's. The fontina cheese and baby potatoes were almost non existent. One of the other meal ordered was fish, with a mixture of seafood and sauce. The waiters and chefs did very well to accommodate in making the fish without the sauce as requested and it still turned out rather nice from what I hear. Our dessert was brought out shortly after we had selected it from the menu but we were left waiting for coffee and tea, a good ten minutes, it got to the point where we had to call a waiter. When the coffee did finally arrive, the Gotham Cheesecake went down along with it. Such a filling flavour, a unique taste and a decent size slice. One other small thing was the music that was playing in the background during our meal there. An odd selection that did not personally bother me but did the people I was with, and apparently the people sitting across from us too as they politely asked the staff to change it. Overall I feel three stars is fair, I will return to order something entirely different with the intention and hope of having to review my review.

    Mushroom and mozzarella sandwich with prosciutto
    Sophie C.

    I have walked past here numerous times but only paid it a visit very recently for a quick lunch. Great menu with lots of choices! You can spend anything from €10 up for a good meal. I got the mushroom mozzarella and pesto panini and I asked for prosciutto on top as I wouldn't make the world's best vegetarian The food came and looked and tasted great. Big portion sizes which are always a plus for a hungry student! The staff were really friendly and helpful and I would have no problem recommending this place as a venue!

    Poached eggs and bacon :)
    Eleanor K.

    The food was brilliant! Went here for brunch on Sunday, we got the Mexican eggs and poached eggs and bacon. The only bad things were that the eggs in the Mexican eggs weren't runny which I like but that's not too big a deal. :) I also asked for extra bacon with the Mexican eggs and it was no problem! The service was brilliant at the start however they were slow to clear our plates when we finished.

    Our tasty desserts. The lemon mousse was devine

    Famished and slightly inebriated after completing the Guinness Storehouse Tour, we were craving…read morepizza in a very bad way. Tried to find the closest pizza place, and the Coke Lane pop up at Lucky's showed up on our map. Just a short jaunt from the Guinness Storehouse, this place was an absolute godsend. Coke Lane's stand and wood fired oven is set up in the backyard of Lucky's bar (which is a great place to hangout btw). The pizza here was damn good. Orders are placed in the backyard, and they bring the pizza out to you (even if you're sitting inside). We had the margherita and the Scarface pizza, and both were excellent. The crust was cooked to perfection and just the right amount of char and chewiness. Don't think I've eaten pizza that fast! Being from NYC my standards for pizza are pretty high, and Coke Lane definitely is some legit wood fired pizza. Highly recommend dropping by if you're looking for some eats in the area.

It was 10 something PM and there was only Frank Ryan's bar we couldn't find the pizza. We went inside and they serve the pizza at the bar. We did not have high expectations we just wanted some food before going to bed and the pizza was AMAZING! We've been to Italy and to all the best pizza places in the US and this pizza was on the same level. I would definitely recommend.

We saw Milano had a nice patio, with minimal people, on the river so sat outside. We ordered our drinks, both on the menu but they didn't have them so ordered different drinks for both. We were asked if we wanted food by our waiter twice, we said we were just having a drink as we're so full, she walked away both times. The manager then came by and got extremely angry with us saying that this is not a bar and they don't have a license so we have to order food as well. We did not know the laws in Dublin so it was odd he was so angry with us and speaking with a lot of disrespect. No one told us we needed to order food until he yelled at us. Since we were stuffed full already, we really didn't want food but conceded and ordered a side salad. When leaving he didn't even thank us for coming or say bye to us (we were one of the few people there...). Just thought there was no reason to treat a guest like that and how are we supposed to know the restaurant laws in Dublin on our 2nd day in the country. It left a very bad taste in our mouth and we were very disappointed in the unfriendly service.
