   I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Unicorn restaurant in Dublin after many years, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. The food was simply exquisite, with each dish showcasing the perfect blend of flavours and presentation. From the starters to the desserts, every bite was a delight. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a memorable meal. It's great to see The Unicorn back and thriving. The restaurant has truly outdone itself, and I can't wait to return for another fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!

   I hadn't been in the Unicorn for 20 odd years. I had a lovely experience and would love to go back. Food and service were excellent.

   The staff very welcoming and attentive. We were celebrating a birthday and our guest was pleasantly surprised as the waiting staff discreetly brought out the birthday cake with rendition of Happy Birthday! We also received complimentary coffee - a nice touch which topped up our dining experience ! We will definitely be back!

   We had a fantastic experience at The Unicorn! This well-known spot in Dublin truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The host was professional and attentive, making our visit memorable. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything was spotless, and the food was cooked to perfection. Plus, the wine and cocktails were outstanding! I can’t wait to come back and try more delicious offerings. Highly recommend!

   Food was excellent cooked to perfection. Dervis was efficient and friendly. It’s such a pity the experience was let down by a damp room with blow air type of heating system.

    I was back in Dublin for work last week and to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. I had booked The Unicorn based on my past experiences there; having enjoyed many tasty meals enhanced by their ebullient staff. However my excited anticipation quickly turned to disappointment. We felt rushed when choosing the wine, the staff clearly weren't trained properly, we had to refill our own wine glasses and the wine menu was very limited. In terms of the food...the carpaccio was not cured, the hake was on the turn with a strong ammonia smell from it and the 'apple pie' consisted of a poorly presented pile of large chunks of stewed apple on a thin doughy piece of pastry. The wall we sat beside had large damp patches on it and the place felt like the place was barely ready to be opened. Lastly, I had added notes to my booking which hadn't been read, including a request to add a birthday candle to the desert chosen by my boyfriend. Overall we were very disappointed.
