Came here for my birthday and honestly the steak was spot on&mdash;asked for medium rare and it came out perfect. Staff brought out a little plate with a candle and sang, which was a nice surprise. The owners stopped by our table for a quick chat too. Only thing is it got a bit loud later on, but the food made up for it.

Turkish eggs were spot on, pancakes fluffy too. Place was packed but the staff kept it together, coffee came out quick and strong. Only gripe, we waited a bit for a table but that&#39;s on us for showing up late. Solid spot for brunch, I&#39;d go back.

The tandoori jumbo prawn masala had that nice smoky char, and the mango lassi was properly refreshing. Seating area felt a bit cramped though, could barely move my chair.

Lovely spot for catching up with friends &mdash; the hot chocolate is seriously good and the pastries are class. Interior&rsquo;s dead pretty too, very Parisian vibe. Staff were sound.

Stopped in for the Cork game and they sorted us with a good spot. Guinness was class, and the chicken fajitas were a solid portion. Big beer garden out back too.

Food was decent enough, but service dragged a bit. We sat outside and the terrace felt dead, no buzz at all. Had the fish and chips, it did the job. Maybe it was just an off night. I&#39;d try it again on a quieter day, but I wouldn&#39;t rush back.

Been coming here for a while now and the staff still remember my usual order. They sorted out a mix-up last time without any fuss, even threw in a free meal. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The California sandwich with chicken tenders is honestly the best I&#39;ve had in Dublin. Chicken stays juicy, not dry at all. Staff were sound too. Only thing is the place gets busy around lunch, so you might wait a bit. But worth it for the sandwich.

The green omelette was decent, pulled pork Benedict pretty good too. Salted caramel coffee was the highlight. Pricey enough, but fine for the quality.

The staff really looked out for me&mdash;one guy stepped in when a panhandler wouldn&#39;t leave me alone. That kind of attention means a lot. Donuts were fresh and tasty, exactly what I needed. Just wish there were more seating, but I&rsquo;d still stop by again.

Solid bagel, latte was actually good. WiFi held up fine while I was there. Seating&#39;s tight though, barely any outlets if you&#39;re planning to camp out with a laptop. Fine for a quick stop, not for a work session.

The open kitchen really makes the place feel alive. Pizzas have that proper crispy-chewy crust, no complaints there. Service kept up fine even when it got busy on a Saturday. Only thing is the seating near the counter gets a bit cramped, but it&rsquo;s alright for a quick bite.

Been coming here for years, the NY slices never miss. Just grab one fresh from the window, you&#39;re set.

Stopped in for a drink and tried the Christmas gin with the strawberry swirl&mdash;lovely. Paloma was good too. Prices are a bit steep for the size, but you&#39;re paying for the vibe.

The seafood bar is the way to go here. Everything tasted properly fresh, like it hadn&#39;t been sitting around. Staff were sound too. Solid spot in Howth.

Came for the pizza, ended up really liking the red wine ravioli. Sauce was rich, pasta cooked properly. Portion felt a bit small for what you pay, but it was decent overall. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back for that dish again.

Service was spot on even with the place rammed. They sorted our group of 12 without a fuss, everyone got looked after. Honestly, that kind of efficiency makes me want to come back.

Great spot outside town - Richard behind the bar made it, proper banter too. Burger was genuinely good.

Came here with a group of 8 and honestly the service was the standout. Staff were dead friendly and didn&#39;t mess around even though we were a big crowd. Food was grand, nothing mad but solid. Only thing was the soda from the machine tasted a bit off. Wouldn&#39;t put me off going back though.

Watched them toss the dough while waiting &mdash; pizza was proper fresh. Took it to St. Stephen&#39;s Green, ate it cold-ish but still lovely. Only takeout, no seating.

Came here for a birthday dinner and honestly the pizza was the star of the night. Crust was spot on, toppings generous. Portion sizes are decent for the price, which is rare these days. Service was friendly enough, no complaints. Just wish they had a bit more seating, it got crowded quick. Would come back for that pizza though.

The lamb quesabirria tacos are the reason I keep coming back. Double cheese, tender meat, decent dipping sauce. Bit oily but packed with flavour. Generous portion for the price.

Big portions for the price, no complaints there. BBQ wings were class, and the gluten-free chicken goujons sorted my wife out nicely. Solid pub grub.

Stopped in for dinner and grabbed a seat at the bar. The glazed pork chop was properly done, sticky and charred in the right places. Finished with the panna cotta, which was silky. Wine list is decent and doesn&#39;t break the bank. Service was fine, left us alone mostly. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and don&#39;t want a fuss.

Stopped in on a Tuesday night, place is tiny but has that proper Italian feel. Asked the waiter to pick wines for us, he knew his stuff, every glass worked. The tiramisu though, that was the highlight. Light, creamy, not too sweet. I&rsquo;ve had a lot of these and this one&rsquo;s up there. Just wish they had a bit more room, felt a little cramped.

Had brunch here and Jonathas took care of us. Food was solid, coffee selection decent. Place has a proper relaxed vibe.

Pizza was solid and Sergio looked after us well. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area, menu&#39;s got plenty of options. Just wish the place wasn&#39;t so packed when we went.
