Based on a independent.ie article about the best places to eat in Dublin I went here for a 3 course meal for two. The food was good but not great and the staff made so many errors that it was frustrating. I was given a vegetarian scotch egg when I had asked for the regular one (the waitress decided to memorize our order rather than write it down) This wasn't a big deal, it tasted great and I wasn't going to send it back and have to wait for my starter as we had already been waiting a while since ordering. The main was slow cooked beef and it was tasty but the menu says it comes with veg and what they should say is that you get 3 small cubes of turnip on the plate. They also couldn't be bothered to peel the lonely, single baby carrot that was thrown on the plate which meant it was tough and chewy. The gratin style potato was the best thing on the plate. Very well done. A portion of chips we ordered to accompany a steak never arrived (a quick note in a notepad by the wait staff would have helped here) and after making them aware of this they apologised said they would be out in a few minutes. I'm still waiting on these chips. I have forwarded the restaurant my mail address and hope to receive them in time for next summer. The steak came with a slab of garlic butter so large and cold that it refused to melt and made the steak cold. Dessert was great and the crumble and chocolate mousse we're both tasty but for a close to 100 bill for two people I wouldn't be bothered coming back. Way too many places in Dublin (especially Stoneybatter) offering better food, service, and pricing. More effort spent on the food and service as opposed to giving you a menu in an old, worn out, hardback novel would probably see this place being deserving of the reputation it seems to have
