One of the best steaks I’ve ever had, hands down the best value for money you will find in Dublin. 30€ 3 course meal left absolutely stuffed! Unlimited chips as well and garlic bread, staff were beyond lovely and so helpful, accommodating as well. Food came so quick, was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I cannot stress this enough, please go to try this place I promise you won’t be disappointed. Will definitely be going there again!

We had a lovely relaxing lunch for four people in Glover’s ally. From the moment we arrived, we were made at home and the service was impeccable. Any request was immediately provided. we enjoyed the food wine and the ambience. Maybe you could provide some more wines under €60 a bottle.

We had a wonderful meal here on a very damp cold Dublin night. Dishes were very tasty. Huge wine selection. No draught beers but lots of choice in bottles. A little pricey but not vastly dissimilar from more commercial restaurants, with a significantly higher quality. Staff were professional and attentive. A lovely evening all round!

We enjoyed a lovely evening with friends, celebrating our first wedding anniversary. The service was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the banter with the restaurant team. The food was superb, a real treat and a bonus to say hi to the Chef as he moved between the tables to meet the diners. We certainly didn't need the salt or pepper we'd requested during the first course. We plan to do it all again next year. Thank you!!
