Mexico to RomePosted on 02 May 2012
Came here with the girls for dinner and drinks after work on a Friday. Really nice restaurant and the staff are friendly. Menu caters for Mexican and European dishes, which is great when trying to choose a restaurant where there are big differences in palates! The service was very efficient and the complimentary nachos and dips were great. The starters and main courses were all lovely. We all had the fajitas for mains bar one of my friends who had salmon. The fajitas (beef/ chicken) and the salmon were very tasty and generous in portion. The dessert menu isn't great but the Irish coffee I had was lovely. Atmosphere was nice and bustling. Great location right on Temple Bar. I will return to Mexico to Rome for sure but I'd love to see a dessert menu with more choice.

Gotham CafePosted on 30 April 2012
Came on a Tuesday night with my boyfriend and couldn't believe how busy it was! We didn't have a reservation thinking it wouldn't be necessary on a Tues night but the staff were very accommodating and we got seated in 10/15mins. Early Bird menu was super. Great choice and 2 courses for €15. Can't go wrong. Portion sizes are just as generous as a la carte portions I have had here before. Staff are very efficient and polite. The comfy wall chairs are great to relax into. Food is beautiful and very tasty. Can't wait to go back.

Chilli BananaPosted on 28 April 2012
Following a lovely meal in its sister restaurant Il Corvo, my boyfriend and I decided to try Chilli Banana. The decor is lovely and very comfortable.Authentic Thai but not tacky. The tables are a little close together though. Portions were impressive and the waitress was very accommodating with my rather awkward order. Food was delicious; Combination of starters and sizzling beef and prawns and ginger for main. The chocolate cheesecake is pure heaven! Food is good value and served in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and chatty; something you don't really get anymore. Service was attentive throughout. I will definitely recommend Chilli Banana....I'll be back soon.

La Bodega Tapas y VinosPosted on 24 April 2012
Came on a very busy Saturday night with my sister. The atmosphere was great but as the restaurant was packed to capacity, it was a little squashed. Tables should definitely be removed from the centre of the floor. Having never eaten tapas before, I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered a nice selection of tapas and had a generous glass of wine each. Lovely portions of food, men would need to order a sizable amount of tapas for a full meal but for my sister and I, it was a nice amount of food but not leaving you too full. Fig dessert is to die for....and healthy too! I would definitely go back to La Bodega for a brilliant girls night venue but I'm not sure if my boyfriend would enjoy the small tapas portions as much. Staff were just brilliant and so attentive. Look forward to returning

Il Corvo RestaurantPosted on 19 April 2012
I came here by chance on Easter Sunday with my boyfriend and we were both really impressed. Staff are very friendly and attentive. There was a great selection on the menu and a good specials board too which we both ordered from. Our 3 course meal was very tasty (starter; brushetta, goats cheese/ main; lamb, cod/ dessert; devil's delight, banoffi). It is reasonably priced and the decor is very modern (with lovely comfy sofas). Oils with the bread would be a lovely touch. The restaurant was getting busier while we were there and there was a good atmosphere. We are both looking forward to returning. I would recommend Il Corvo for a cosy date night

Marios (Ranelagh)Posted on 19 April 2012
Loved this placed! I came by chance with my friend and we hadn't booked a table. Busy Saturday night but the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Food was gorgeous. Large selection on menu and great specials board. Three courses and plenty to drink later, the bill arrived. Good value. Great atmosphere and staff couldn't be better. Chairs aren't the most comfortable but you forget all about that very quickly as the rest is just great. Can't wait to go back.
