Le Bon CrubeenPosted on 19 March 2013
Excellent food and great attentive service! Atmosphere subdued but it was a Monday night! Delighted with the deal we got from menupages to go to this restaurant? A great restaurant for the north side of the city

Nash 19Posted on 27 March 2012
Very family friendly. Recently visited Cork with the family, husband and 2 very small children. Had seen Nash 19 listed as child friendly so thought we'd check it out for lunch. Although the restaurant looks narrow, which isn't a good sign for those pushing buggies or prams, it opens up at the back and is spacey enough. Staff were extremely helpful and although the self service queue was long it moved quickly and we were soon seated and tucking into some fantastic home produce. The food was very good value and the service was attentive. Changing facilities are excellent and I'd definitely recommend it to fellow family diners.

Il SegretoPosted on 11 August 2011
I went to Il Segreto with my husband and we both thought the whole night was excellent, food, atmosphere,service. As for value we were lucky enough to have bought a living social voucher earlier this year which we redeemed there. First thing to say is as a regular purchaser of daily deal vouchers from a variety of websites we've had mixed experiences when it comes to restaurants - limited days you can use them - restricted menus - lack of flexibility - but of all of them I'd say the Il Segreto deal was the best value. We were able to pick from the a la carte menu and the waitress was happy to change our wine choice. The food was exceptional (the scallops, rib of beef, turbot were highights) and the helpful and friendly staff were a pleasure. We'll definitely be back (and happy to pay full price next time)

The Exchange Restaurant and Cocktail BarPosted on 31 March 2011
The dining room is beautiful and you are made feel very welcome from the very start. We (me and partner) were there as part of the Dine in Dublin week with a special menu of 4 courses for €25. This was great value although if I had one complaint it would be that the mains weren't fantastic (but for €25 its a small complaint). Service was poor. We arrived and the venue wasn't particularly busy but our server didn't seem to be on top of her service and this got worse as the restaurant got busier. There is a dj on on a Friday night and the music is jazzy/bistro which is pleasant. however we found it quite difficult to hear each other as the tables are broad and the space allocated per table is plenty (not a complaint because it's quite often the other way round where the table space is small and you can hear the table next to you eating!) Can imagine if there was a larger group trying to converse across tables and diners that it would be difficult

BANG RestaurantPosted on 15 March 2011
Four of us went here for a Friday night treat. Couldn't fault the service, food, attention to detail but still felt it was a little overpriced. With all the very good deals and choices in Dublin at the moment this seemed pricey. It was really busy so it seems to have no problem getting business. One slight criticism is that the tables are way too close to each other ... felt we could nearly join in with the conversation at the table next to us!

EllaPosted on 11 January 2011
A lovely restaurant with great service....now I should say the afternoon we went it was snowing and only one other table was occupied so we did have the waitress all to ourselves, almost. Nice choice of courses and food all cooked beautifully. Really relaxed atmosphere and a lovely place to spend a snowy afternoon.

Farm Restaurant (Dawson Street)Posted on 10 February 2010
went here with a group of 10 from work for the early bird on a Friday evening. although I don't think I chose the best from the menu the value for money was incredible €23.99 for a 3 course meal. Service was brilliant and atmosphere was great. Would recommend

Toscana City CentrePosted on 20 January 2010
Really enjoy eating here. The food is excellent and the place is always busy. We went on a Saturday night so a booking was essential! We were seated upstairs and the only complaint I'd have was that the music was quite loud and this combined with the usual noise from a busy restaurant meant at some times I felt we were shouting! Service is quick and this mightn't suit some people who like to spend awhile over their meals but it suited us as we were rushing on to the Movies. Would really recommend it as a good place to get excellent Italian food.

OdessaPosted on 20 November 2009
My second time eating here within 3 weeks and it was great. First night there was the full works, wine, all courses teas and coffees and it was really good value, service terrific and atmosphere fab. Second night there in for early bird - terrific value and food was superb. Would highly recommend it. Ask for a table downstairs where there are nice loungy couches for a really relaxed atmosphere

The Squealing Pig Bar And RestaurantPosted on 21 July 2009
Have been to Moloughney's 3 times since it opened just over a month ago and have had lunch/dinner each time. For a restaurant that seemed to fly under the radar in terms of marketing it was packed everytime. I think this influx of clientele may have caught staff unawares and service was a little slow at first but the food is lovely. Soups and sandwhiches great value and lovely choices, main courses are homely - great ingredients and good quality cooking. really liked it and can't wait for it to open for evening meals. Keep up the good work!

McHugh’s Wine & Dine RestaurantPosted on 07 May 2009
Went here as part of a group of 10 for a birthday celebration. The service was slow to start but it improved. Food was mixed. Chicken wings were very very very hot and it might have been an idea to advise us of this. One male friend ordered the sea bass for a main and the serving was tiny one mouthful and it was gone. I had the hake and this was just ok - good portion but quite bland. Feedback from rest of group was generally good in terms of starters and mains. We brought our own desert (birthday cake) and they were very accommodating about serving this to us with candles etc. Price for the night per head was about 50 each which was quite expensive considering some of the portion sizes. Have been here for lunch previously and thought lunch was good value.

Quay 16 @ MV Cill AirnePosted on 27 February 2009
Great night out. Food, atmosphere, service and upstairs to the bar after dinner. All in all a super night out. A little pricey for the current times (€80 a head for full dinner & two bottles of wine between 4 of us) but some times you've got to ride above the recession and doom and gloom. Felt the whole experience was worth it. Terrific service, interior is very special and the food matched this. Big thumbs up. (suggestion any chance of an early bird cheaper menu???)

Bay RestaurantPosted on 09 December 2008
Went to Bay for an early dinner with husband and toddler. The interior has had a facelift which is really nice and adds to the atmosphere...especially liked the round tables at the window for larger groups. Service was great, food was lovely but what a shock when I saw the price we were charged for 2 glasses of house wine - €8.75 each!!!! I really think restaurants are taking liberties when they charge huge prices for glasses of wine...We didn't want a whole bottle of wine but ended up paying for one!!!! Please reconsider these prices!!!!

Peploes Wine BistroPosted on 01 December 2008
Went here with 7 from work for a pre Xmas lunch at 3pm. The place was packed (so much for a recession!). The service is excellent. Every member of staff treats you like you are their number 1 priority. Food was excellent and house wine was good. Bill came to 70 a head which was fine (tip included in this). You wouldn't be eating here every night of the week (well unless you can afford it!) but for a treat it is well worth it and I'd highly recommend it.

Bad Ass CafePosted on 02 April 2008
Went here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. My food was ok - pizza - but a bit on the wet side - other half had a burger and really liked it. One big issue I have with this place is for a "family-friendly" restaurant it's service to families with babies is poor. There are no baby changing facilities and when this was pointed out to management they said there was a ledge behind the door in the ladies which we could use. Indeed there was but this is very dangerous and not suitable at all. We thought the service was very poor. Although there were a lot of waiting staff they were not attentive and were only interested in chatting amongst themselves.

My favourite Italian! Have eaten here a few times and have yet to be disappointed. Friendly friendly staff, great atmosphere and terrific food. Brought hubby who isn't a huge italian fan but he thoroughly enjoyed it and we'll definitely be back.

Casa Pasta & Pizza (Donnybrook)Posted on 05 March 2008
Food, service and price all great but if you go with a baby be warned!!! The changing table is attached to the wall at a height of about 5ft. They have a little stool for you to stand on so that you can change baby. I'm lucky I'm 5ft 11 but most mums are going to have a problem. A very small issue but nonetheless it’s a little thing that can easily be solved.

Canal Bank CafePosted on 02 January 2008
Not overly impressed with this restaurant although I had heard great things and read great reviews about it. The restaurant is beautiful and cosy and in a great location but I thought the food was average and so did a number of my fellow diners. I always look forward to a cheeseboard at the end of dinner but was very disappointed. Choice of 3 cheeses and although you got heaps of each I would prefer a larger selection with smaller quantities and some fruit. Fellow diners had the fish cakes and found these too strong and overcooked, also burgers were very dry and not flavoursome enough. overall didn't think we'd got value for money on the day.

Casa Pasta (Clontarf) more than just pastaPosted on 27 November 2007
Value for money, friendly staff and great pizza and pasta dishes. Eat here at least twice a month - on way home from work or with the family (child friendly). Staff are very friendly and the food is good. OK its a bit small but that's never been a problem for us. Would recommend it.

The Oar HousePosted on 27 November 2007
Great restaurant, friendly staff and very accommodating to families with buggies, babies etc. Neither of us are great seafood people but we've tried something different each time we've gone there and have never been disappointed. Lovely atmosphere and a perfect place to finish a Sunday afternoon after a walk on the pier and a nosey around the market in Howth
