I visited the Wild Goose with my husband for Sunday lunch. We arrived arond 1pm and the place was fairly empty. Only a couple of other tables with people. Decor is lovely and inviting. We sat near the window so was great to look out on Ranelagh Rd. We had the lunch special of €24.95 for 3 courses. We ate tomato soup and caprese salad for starters. Nothing amazing. Tomato soup was a bit watery and could have been out of a can...For mains we had the risotto and chicken. both ok but nothing special. Best part was the dessert - ice cream and apple pie - can't go too wrong with those options though! Service was great. Very quick and friendly. May go back to see if there's been an improvement but will only give it one more try.

Been meaning to visit the Wild Goose for some time. But it is popular and early bookings are essential, and this does not always suit our last minute decision habits! Atmosphere is good. Understated entrance leads up stairs (two flights) to nicely laid out restaurant area divided into two main sections. Tables have just about the right separation for privacy, and it's a full linen service. We had a selection of seafood (tuna, scallop and squid) as a starter. Very nicely presented and prepared. For main course we shared Cote de Boeuf. A very large rib eye on the bone, carved at the table. Again excellent presentation and preparation. At €58 for two, the main course was expensive, but did include all sauces and vegetables. Chipped and pureed potatoes, as well as pureed root vegetables. Deserts were good, but the cheeseboard was dissapointing. Cheap convenience store type cheeses. Sorry guys, but if you are going to serve cheese (€14), you must treat it with as much care as your other courses. Service throughout the evening was excellent, and manager - Sheerin - was very helpful and informative. Overall, we thought the experience was very good. However, expensive (but quite ordinary) wines plus the high costs of all menu items, makes this quite an expoensive night out!

Ate here recently with two of the 'girls'... we had a really lovely evening..style and overall atmosphere of the restaurant is we all agreed really excellent. This is a smart place! We all had a goats cheese with aubergine starter which was delicious and plates were clean after. I had the hake for my main course and it was the nicest piece of fish I have had in a long time...delicious. We had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc between 2 of us and I had two glasses of Salice Salentino - a gorgeous Italian red. Service was impeccable. The early bird runs all night on a Wednesday so all this lovely food/drink was at excellent prices. Cant honestly think of anything bad to say about the place and will definitely be back. Go visit!
