It gives me no pleasure to say this was one of the worse restaurant experiences I've ever had. My guest and I were brought to a table for four. There were two of us. This was awkward and uncomfortable. I ordered the chicken wings to start and they were nice and spicey, and accompanied by a cool yoghurt dip. Nothing spectacular, but they did what it said on the tin. I had to ask for a water bowl to clean my fingers. My companion had strips of catfish which were tasteless. Perhaps that's just how catfish tastes, but we wouldn't order it again. When ordering I question our waitress about the Southern Fried Chicken and its price of €20.50. I assumed it must be really good. It wasn't. It consisted of three drumsticks on a bed of sweet potato, some green beens and a bland jus. The chicken was below average and the coating wasn't even as good as you'd expect from a snack box in your local chipper. The sweet potato mash was tasty though and nicely seasoned. My companion had gumbo - a stew with a tomato based sauce, rice and a sweet bread accompaniment. Dooky gumbo meant chicken, pork and chorizo in the stew. The chicken and pork were dry. The chorizo was an embarrassment - there was very little of it, it was thinly sliced and looked like they'd bought the thinly sliced and rather tastless chorizo you see in plastic packets in a Spar or Centra. We had two glass of red and two white. Both were nice. The service was atrocious. There were three waitresses running around in high heels - clip clop, clip clop. We could hear this because there was no music and no atmosphere. All of the waiting staff were gruff, sharp (not in the positive sense of the word) and paid no attention to detail. They almost threw the food at us and banged every dish and glass on the table as if we were in a gritz and waffles dinner at the side of a US freeway. The wrong dishes arrived at our table and we have to wait another 20 minutes for the right dishes to arrive. We weren't asked whether we'd like coffee or desserts and would have h

Service, food and excellent value for money. It’s in temple bar but away from the crowds an absolute delight. A slow January Tuesday in Dublin and delights were to be found in Tante Zoes. We received a very warm welcome. A choice of three different menus, great value was to be had. Our combo platter to start was very tasty and there was plenty to share. The main courses were mouth-watering, blackened catfish and a Mary-Lou. Absolutely no room for desert! Our server explained to us that the restaurant is under new ownership we will definitely be back.

Went with 2 friends for a birthday dinner, found it strange I could not book through Menupages but had heard great things so was excited to try it. We were greeted with an extremely friendly waiter and I found the whole place to have a great ambiance and be completely relaxing. For the mains we ordered two of the Jambalaya's and a Gumbo, all were equally delicious with large portions, we ended up getting take home as we could not finish the meal. Overall tasty food, friendly service and top atmosphere I would highly recommend and will be returning!
