Alrighty, so I wanted to update this after having lunch, dinner, and breakfast here…read more I would highly recommend this place for breakfast or dinner. Their service was superbly better than what I had experienced during lunch. Staff was friendly and consistent with their service. They also offered quite the variety of food. I would still highly recommend against coming for lunch. However, I definitely enjoyed both food and service during their breakfast and dinner. Therefore, I have re-evaluated my rating from a 2-Star to a 4-Star.

We booked a room at the Carlton Hotel for our last night in Dublin as we had an early morning…read moreflight. The hotel website had an option to pre-book a Prix Fix dinner with reservations (required!) which seemed like a good idea at the time as this was the end of a long trip and we had an early flight the next morning. The restaurant had not been informed of our reservation, or our pre-purchased three course meal. The hotel website had not passed the information to reception or the restaurant. We rescheduled with reception when we check in, but still the information had not been passed on to the restaurant. We asked the waiter who seated us to please check with reception to confirm and he said he would 'contact them when it is time to cash-out'. Glad we decided at hotel check-in to not leave our credit card information and instead 'pay as we go'. This blase' reaction did not give us a warm fuzzy feeling and makes me wonder why a hotel chain as large as the Carlton is still using paper reservation sheets at reception, AND why, if reservations 'are required' when pre-booking, that information does not get electronically sent to the restaurant booking system. Unless there is not one, which it seems there is not. Our meals included starters, mains and dessert. We had the caesar salad and soup of the day, leek and potato. The salad itself was fresh, with large pieces of lettuce, bacon and toast sized croutons. The dressing tasted like mayonnaise. The soup was tasty if a bit salty, even for my SO who loves salty foods. It came with a small slice of tasty, hearty brown bread and a crusty roll and butter. A large bottle of tap water was placed on the table and replaced when empty. Our mains were Salmon with peas and chicken breast with zucchini ragout. Both are served on a hill of mashed potatoes and sweet potato puree is smeared across the plate. Both mains were well cooked and tasty, simple food, aside from the decorative presentation. The peas were firm and the mashed potatoes good. Both ordered the brownie which has a cake like texture, and is surprisingly, a bit dry. There is a sauce dolloped along two sides and some whipped cream. One sauce was strawberry, the other we think is lemon. This brownie needs more than just a couple of dollops. A scoop of vanilla ice cream perhaps? Not sure how large the restaurant is as we were shown to a table right inside the door, along with other guests arriving for an early dinner. The waiter was friendly and service well timed. When we checked out he had confirmed our pre-paid dinner option and only drinks were charged. By the way, the Prix Fix dinner price on the menu is a bit lower than the price we paid on line.

The cafe is small in size and was quiet despite it being early on a Saturday, there were a handful of older couples and some of the girls working in the supervalue next door on their lunchbreaks. Staff were super friendly and seemed to know their local customers which made the place feel really homely. We ordered full Irish breakfasts which were really tasty and came out in good time but I felt the lack of attention to detail really let the place down... Some of the mugs and plates were chipped and many were mismatching in design or colour which just let down the presentation and feeling of attention to the little things!

We stopped here, travel-weary, for a first dinner in Ireland. We ordered the roast beef with…read moreYorkshire pudding, peas, carrots and potatoes (fried whole and mashed) and the chicken curry with half rice and half chips. My friend ate a side of onion rings. The roast beef was cooked to perfection, very tender and juicy. It is pretty unsalted, which I like, but my friend said it wasn't enough. The side of rich, brown gravy made up for it adding the right amount of saltiness to the beef. Carrots and peas were a tad soft, but flavorful and good mashed potatoes. I wasn't wild about the whole fried ones. The Yorkshire pudding was pretty dreadful and seemed to be backed hours prior because it was rubbery and chewy. The chicken curry was good, a little sweet, but good amount of curry flavor. Chips and rice were great. The onion rings were good. Not stellar, not bad. Just solidly good! Guinea's was perfect in terms of being served at the right temp and they have half pints, which made me happy! This place was very, very loud. It was distractingly loud, but if you want sports and good beer, you are in the right spot. Lots of families with little ones for dinner. Service was good.

You DON'T serve beans with a traditional Irish breakfast. You may have it as an option but it's not given as standard. That's how you determine if the place is a genuine greasy spoon or not. In my working class Dublin opinion. This place does not disappoint. I ordered sausage, black pudding and egg. It came with tea and toast and was a fiver. Perfect. They had a full Irish for just a couple Euro more, but this was perfect for what I wanted. Great characters in here. So a good place for people watching. The staff are very friendly. The person who I think must be the owner seems to do the rounds walking around asking if everyone is OK and making small talk to the regulars. This is a wonderful thing that rarely happens in Dublin anymore. They have booths and tables. It is small enough so tables and booths are quite close to each other. My only gripe is the toilets. They aint the prettiest but they seem to be fairly clean, just not well maintained. But hey, I'm not having a piss in Brown Thomas. I am having a piss in a greasy spoon in Finglas Village. Looking forward to coming back. Anyone in the area needs to visit. [Also, apologies for the picture. I was so excited that I ate most of it before I even thought about taking a good picture.

My only complaint is that the complimentary airport shuttle missed us two times which had us waiting in the cold for an hour. We ended up taking a taxi and the hotel reimbursed the driver. Just disappointed we had to wait so long to get some sleep. Our room was ample size, clean with multiple phone chargers. The bathroom was clean with two shower type options. The complimentary breakfast was definitely the star. I'd say this was the 2nd best breakfast I've experienced (Switzerland takes top billing). Hot items included scrambled & fried eggs, ham & bacon. Being in Ireland I expected potatoes- alas there were none. Bread, croissants, cream cheese, Brie, smoked salmon, yogurts, fresh fruit, granola & cereals also offered. You are allowed to choose one item off the special should you choose. If we'd known at the beginning we'd ordered one but were so satiated with what we had there was no room in our tummies for anything more! All in all we are pleased with our 12 hour stay here.
