Brunel RestaurantPosted on 31 January 2013
Absolutely dreadful. Two for the price of one and I still felt robbed with the quality of food, food portion sizes and the level of service.
Steer well clear
Nice hotel though

Kytelers InnPosted on 08 June 2012
Had the steak sandwich here. It was better than your average steak sambo so wasnt too unhappy.
The lack of an all day brekkie surprised me as breakfast was the reason for our visit
They have so many staff working they manage get in each others way without offering a great service

El Bahia Moroccan RestaurantPosted on 08 June 2012
Food overall was pretty good. Starters (prawns and potato cakes) were both excellent.
Flavours in the tagines were very tasty. The fish was a bit gritty but the lamb was divine
Tried a bottle of the Morrocan wine which a very nice surprse.
Service was excellent. However the heater that was on was definitely not needed on a miserable humid June evening

Sunday evening dinner here.
Have to say the food was pretty good. The steak was top quality.
Only complaint would be that the hot fish platter lacked some tartare or sauce of any kind
Very good desserts also it must be added

Jaipur Restaurant (Dalkey)Posted on 24 January 2011
Ate here after having eating in the town version many times.
I actually think the food quality was even better than city centre one wich is already superb.
Early bird menu, one vegie and one meaty. Meaty had a piece of fish on it which was great. Nostalgically i remember there been a fish platter in the city centre one as an option for starters.
2 fish curries where both amazing. Goan great and a coconut based prawn dish also superb

Buenos Aires GrillPosted on 30 November 2010
We both had the empanadas(1 veggie and 1 meat) for starters which were pretty good
Then we had main, i went for the 10 oz fillet which was cooked very well. Nicel medium rare. Great flavoured veg accompanied that
My girlfriend had the "Halloumi Cheese, Aubergine, Red Pepper & Red Onion Bruschetta" Turns out the bruschetta is a mistranslatin and she got a kebab. We question this and was explained by pleasant staff.
Just as we were finishing our mains. Out was brought a bruschetta. This was a gret dish and i think if the sized it down would be an amazing starter as the topping on the bruschetta was perfectly seasoned. As a result no room for dessert.
Pretty good and reasonably priced bottle of Malbec too
Only complaint would be lack on lock on bathroom door

Awful!! Very expensive there are much better restaurants in Dublin
We had nachos and chicken wings for starters and wasquite pleased with these. Main we both had fajitas which we thought were awful and not as good as would be had at home(At least I wasnt cooking!!!)
Desserts were good but we were charged for these extra outside the late bird menu. Said nothing as had been waiting 15 minutes for the bill and had someone waiting for us. It just ate up the tip we were giving that probably wasnt deserved
Needless to say we will not be returning
