    Food was excellent, service was attentive, efficient and friendly and even though it was a busy Friday before Christmas throughout Dublin there was only one sitting and no pressure on the table so we could eat at our leisure.

    Excellent food and service as always. Excellent wine recommendation from the wonderful sommelier Maxim. The chestnut tiramisu was a delightful novelty and very moorish.

    We had a wonderful meal last Friday at Forbes Street. The place is very nice and importantly for us not too loud so that we can have a conversation without loosing our voice. The service was good and efficient, Ricardo and Lidia were very welcoming and attentive. The food itself was very good, we both went for the striploin, which was very good size and coocked perfectly. The most surprising for us was the quality of the sides that were included. We tried 4 different slides and each were generous and delicious. Kudos, for the wild mushroom one (and I normally don't like mushrooms) as well as the polenta chips. So good value, delicious food, quiet and cozy atmosphere and good service, we will definetely come back.

    Food, service and wine all excellent! The scallops with mushrooms are a culinary highlight! Fillet steak tender as usual and the side of green vegetables was a nice surprise as there were green asparagus on it. We were happy to have a table in a booth.

    Staff were nice but unsure of menu. Chips were poor, cheap. Steaks were nice but over priced. No ambience.

    Amuse bouche was a burrata with tomato emulsion. Scallops as starter and venison for main course were perfectly cooked and delicious.

    Overall the experience doesn’t reach five stars. It’s not the food, drink nor service that brings down the review score - it’s a handful of small details that are irritating- table that wobbles, table that is too small (in a mostly empty restaurant) to hold water glass, wine glass, small plate and appetizers for two people is nuts! A few hiccups at the beginning getting in sync with our server Michael - he lurked when we were in deep conversation and then wasn’t around for several minutes to even take a drink order. Once we got rolling the food and drink were superb, the wine superbly served by very attentive sommelier.
