Stopped by for a quick dinner with a friend and honestly the pasta really stood out. Got the tagliatelle and it was properly done, not overcooked or drowning in sauce. For a place right in the city centre, I wasn&rsquo;t expecting much but it hit the spot. Staff were sound too, left us alone until we needed them. Would go back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The beef and Guinness pie was the standout. Rich, dark gravy, proper chunks of meat, pastry that held up. Had it with the champ, which soaked up the sauce nicely. Portion was decent for the price. Could&#39;ve done with a bit more pepper in the mash, but that&#39;s a small thing. I&#39;d order that again.

Been coming here for a while now, and the Irish whisky sour still gets me every time. Proper balance, not too sweet. Finished with the cr&egrave;me br&ucirc;l&eacute;e again tonight&mdash;that crack on top is exactly how it should be. Place stays consistent, which is more than I can say for most spots around town.

Solid Italian grub, service was quick and on it. Just wish they had more wines by the glass, that&#39;s my only gripe.

The battered cod was pretty good&mdash;as good as any I&#39;ve had back home. Hake was a bit bland, but stick with the classic and you&#39;re sorted.

An&iacute;bal&#39;s service was outstanding! He was very kind and attentive, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere made it a perfect spot to enjoy breakfast.

The daily special pasta was proper good &mdash; tasted like something you&#39;d actually get in Italy. Coffee was spot on as well. Nice spot for a quick lunch.

The fish and chips here are always solid&mdash;never had a bad batch. Place gets busy, but that&rsquo;s just how it goes. Staff were friendly enough too.

Stopped in again for the Hendricks High Tea&mdash;still as good as the first time. Huge gin selection and the staff actually know their stuff. The sharing teapot is a nice touch.

The pulled ham was lovely and tender, poached eggs done just right. Staff were genuinely friendly too. Only thing is the place got a bit busy but that&#39;s a good sign I suppose.

Stopped by for lunch and Tomas sorted us out straight away. Proper friendly lad, knew the menu inside out. Had the seafood chowder and it was class, really rich and creamy. Place had a good buzz to it too. Only thing was it got a bit busy after 1 but that&#39;s on us for the timing.

Dined in for the first time after only having takeaway before, and it was a much better experience. The staff were incredibly attentive, especially Jamal, Sourah, and Sandhggp. The food was fantastic and I&#39;ll definitely be back.

Lively spot, staff were dead sound. Sunday roast did the job but &euro;30 feels steep for what you get. Fair enough for a one-off though.

Ended up coming back twice on our trip &mdash; nothing else in Dublin came close. The food was unreal, and the staff were just as good.

Decent pint of Guinness here - proper pour and the staff were sound. &euro;6.50 is fair for Dublin, cheaper than most spots around.

Nice spot for a quick bite. Veggie options were solid and the staff pointed me in the right direction. Place was roomy too, not cramped like most spots. Got my food fast enough.

Stopped in here on a quiet evening and grabbed a seat near the window. Really liked that the menu had everything clearly marked for allergens, even gluten-free stuff. Made ordering easy, no fuss. Food was decent and the staff were friendly enough. Just a solid, comfortable spot if you want a relaxed pint and something to eat without any hassle.

The scallop starter was really good, and the lamb came out perfectly cooked. Staff were attentive without hovering. Solid spot for a proper dinner.
