    Had a delicious meal here. The boneless Coq was delicious. Loved that they were a little crispy. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Filet mignon is a favourite and didn’t disappoint. Cooked perfectly and the side of garlic and Camembert gratin which broccoli and green beans were perfect accompaniment. Was too full for dessert but the other all had mouse, crème brûlée and banoffee and everyone loved theirs. Pornatar Martinis were so good and a glass of Sauvignon blanc really nice too! Perfect way to kick off our Christmas festivities

    Ver enjoyable. All predictably lovely. We had a great ivy breakfast and coffee. The table for three could be a tad bigger. Difficult to fit everything on it. Otherwise no complaints

    Everything about our experience was very good. We both chose the Christmas menu, and had steak, steak was a little under cooked for medium/well IMO. But the €8 surcharge and was served with chips and a side salad, seemed a little bit expensive - would have been nicer to have some veg and potatoes.

    The Festive Lunch Menu at e55 was well thought & varied. Our party of 4 enjoyed the lunch very much. We had 2 bottles of wine. At our spend level I was disappointed when we were put on notice to vacate our table & presented with our bill. Our sitting was at 1pm & at 3.15pm when I was still drinking my coffee we vacated our table as requested. We were asked if we would like a table downstairs in the bar to complete our outing but the moment had passed and we said our goodbyes. It is a very large restaurant & I did not see a line of guests waiting to take our table.
