Gourmet Burger Kitchen - GBK (South William Street)Posted on 07 August 2009
Amazing falafel burgers!! By far the best place for a veggie burger. Staff are always extremely friendly and helpful. A good place to go because I always know I'll leave satisfied!

Siam Thai (Dundrum)Posted on 13 December 2008
I've eaten here a few times and I would go back again. The staff are very pleasant, the restaurant is comfortable and you feel like you could sit there all day without being pushed out the door. The food is good, not excellent but I still liked it. I'd go back here if I was looking for a place which I know would be good and I wanted to linger over dinner and be comfortable.

Pizza Hut (Dundrum)Posted on 13 December 2008
I always feel that this place is like a slightly better McDonalds. For pizza I definatly would not be back, it is soggy and unappealing. The atmosphere and interior as already mentioned is very McDonalds-y. I think I'd prefer anything else anyday!

Frango's World CuisinePosted on 13 December 2008
This place is pretty disappointing, with so many new amazing eateries opening in Dundrum all the time I don't know why they haven't tried to improve this place. It is expensive (almost €3 for a small bottle of coke), loud, bright, uncomfortable and the food is pretty average! I will not be back.

The Counter DundrumPosted on 13 December 2008
I went in here with high expectations of getting a good veggie burger, I know that maybe a burger place is not a good place for a veggie to eat but surely if they specialise in burgers they could do a good veggie one? Wrong! We went in one Sunday lunch, the place was busy, we really liked the idea of the make your own burger form where you tick boxes for different toppings, meat, sauces etc. They have a great range and variety of options. I had the veggie burger and the others had regular or 1lb burgers. Mine was pretty disappointing as I already said but in fairness the others thought theirs were gorgeous, also the 1lb burger is HUGE!!! This is a nice place to eat with nice food and nice ideas for meat eaters only!

Indian Ocean DublinPosted on 13 December 2008
I was here on Tuesday in a large group for my friends birthday. Everything was great, the food was yum and service was attentive without being over the top. The staff even put a candle in a dessert for my friend and offered us free desserts or drinks at the end of the meal! It was also great value and I will definatly be back for their all you can eat buffet on Sundays!!

The Restaurant @ Marks and SpencerPosted on 14 October 2008
I thought this restaurant was touch and go. The food was lovely and the location and terrace absolutely great, on a sunny evening you would not think you were sitting on Grafton Street! We had the €12.50 menu which I thought was great value and I will definitely go back for it again, a main, dessert and glass of wine - who can complain! The only problem I had was the service. I was here two days in a row, first for a coffee and second for a meal and each time they brought us to a filthy table and we had to wait for someone to clean it. On the first day it took at least 20 minutes for somebody to take our drinks order. The hostess was too busy having a good laugh and joke with people she knew and it felt as if every other member of staff was completely oblivious to what was going on in the restaurant. Eventually what I presume was a manager (there are about 4 different uniforms in the restaurant it is hard to tell who does what!) stopped and got somebody to serve us. Somebody obviously needs to take control of the staff here. Apart from the slow, inefficient service it is a nice place to grab a bite to eat. I just would not go if I was in a rush!!

The Alamo RestaurantPosted on 05 July 2008
I went here for the early bird this week. Starter, main and tea/coffee for €15 so you can't go wrong! The food was lovely, great big helpings too which sometimes you don't get with early birds. Service was nice and the staff let us sit over our coffees for ages chatting so we did not feel as if we were being rushed out the door. I would return!

Stoop Your HeadPosted on 28 June 2008
The perfect spot by the sea on a sunny/wet Sunday afternoon! Always packed and with good reason. The food is fresh and delicious! The staff are superb and I don't know how they handle the crowds all the time but the service is quick and friendly no matter how busy it is. I have been back a few times and I will definitely keep going back. A gem!

Eddie Rockets (Citywest)Posted on 28 June 2008
Went here one wet day and the food hit the spot. I hadn't gone to an eddie rockets in so long because I always thought there were overpriced but it seems cheaper than it used to be. Service was friendly although a bit slow and 5 of us were squished into a booth obviously only for 4. It was good on the day but I would not be rushing back.

Mao Restaurant (Chatham Row)Posted on 28 June 2008
I went here with some of my friends on one of our few sunny evenings and we sat outside. Service was good and quick. I had a thai green curry which really was amazing and my friends both enjoyed their two main courses also. I finished off with a malteser cocktail which was yummy! Overall I like this restaurant I cannot fault the food or service!

SabaPosted on 23 May 2007
Overall a bit of a disappointment. I got the vegetable tempura and vegetarian dumplings, which were both a let down. My boyfriend on the other hand got the duck, which he loved. I thought the atmosphere was lacking and the table we were sitting on was so tiny and squished against the wall it felt like we were just stuck on the edge of the restaurant. I would not bother going back.

RasamPosted on 19 April 2007
Absolutely brilliant! I came here on Monday night with my boyfriend. On walking into the restaurant I loved the candles on the staircase and I thought the interior was beautiful. My boyfriend and I got a vegetarian and meat based thali dish (I would definitely recommend to all vegetarians!) The actual plate it was served on was really interesting and the food was even better, my favourite being the Indian cottage cheese dish. Great food, great service, great value. All I can say is go here to eat the best Indian food and I will definitely be coming back!!

DandelionPosted on 14 December 2006
I used to go here all the time and I loved this restaurant but lately choices on the menu have been seriously cut and the food and service has really gone downhill. It seems that the place is more interested in running a bar and club and lost interest in the restaurant. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It once was my fav place to eat but sadly I would not go back!
