Chapter One Restaurant Review

Absolutely stellar service, attentive but in no way pushy. I am a pescatarian and was blown away with the fish dishes. Staff were beyond helpful, Cannot recommend this place enough.

Best food and even better service. No snobbery just warm and welcoming.

It was my second visit to Chapter one recently and I wondered whether it would surpass my expectations after an amazing experience a couple of years ago. Once again the food was amazing. The only negative thing was the wine chosen to go with the main course could have been better! The service was superb and I look forward to my next visit.

This is somewhat a belated review as we were there on March of 2016. Overall, the experience was positive. The atmosphere was cozy and it was the first time I'd experienced very talkative serving staff and clientele. Obviously Chapter One has a number of regulars who all like to converse and did not strike me and my wife as a Michelin starred restaurant.

This feeling was however short lived as we too got into the fun and conversed with the locals who gave us great tips on places to see and restaurants to try.

Now, onto the food. We went with the 5-course tasting menu. Presentation was fine however, the mushroom risotto was a bit on the salty side. The wine pairing were quite complementary to the dish.

Service was good and overall experience was positive.

It was difficult to find a halal restaurant as I am new to this city but it's ok and there is salmon .. friendly welcome too kind. Thank you for everything

Worst Restaurant. Rude people. Worst place to dine.

Very nice treatment. Spectacular food. Recommendable.

The first chapter gave one of the best dinners I have had in a long time. The staff is very professional and polite. The food was from this world, if there is a duck on the menu, please try it, and Irish whiskey is worth the team to make it on their own. It is worth every cent

Incredible dining experience and the pre-dinner menu is outstanding value for money

Absolutely beautiful food and wine and top class service

Always a warm welcome, efficient service and fantastic food.

Deserves more than 5 stars. Such a perfect experience. Food is too good to discribe. By far the friendliest staff in the city.

Food was excellent. Highly recommended. A great experience.

One of the nicest meals I have ever had. Pre theatre menu is so reasonably priced for such wonderful food. Will be back. Staff also are so friendly and welcoming.

A great spot for a celebration. If dinner is a little out of your price range, that doesn't mean you have to miss out. A recent three course lunch set me and friend back 80e each recently and it was money well spent. Food is amazing, service is impeccable and just the whole theatrics of the place makes it all worth it.

Love it, great culinary skills on show, slick and professional staff without being too intrusive. A destination restaurant.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been at!!!
Every thing is just the best from top to bottom

Very disappointing from food to service, will not be returning

I will never regret proposing my wife in this amazing restaurant. Memories that will last for a lifetime: exquisite ambiance, astonishing food and excellent service.

A Michelin Star restaurant that we visited for my 65th birthday. Went 2 years ago for my husband's birthday.
First class food, first class service. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant

The service is great, the ambient is nice and the food is good, but not wow. In my opinion it doesn't worth the money

Simply the best restaurant in Dublin. The food is inventive and well put together without being fussy or having tiny 'nouveau' portions.

Staff are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is second to none, classy with out being stuffy or pretentious ( I've seen a table start singing and not been rebuked by staff!)

There's a pianist on some evenings to help ease the wait for your seat while you enjoy an apertif.

There's a chef's table in the kitchen which is well worth a visit, the chef will usually pop over for some banter.

We dined her last weekend with friends
The menu was reallly good and the choice of wines was impressive
The staff were brilliant
The food was good but fell a little short of our expectations
It was very good and we will be back again

Good choice for a Resturant in Dublin city centre

Real high quality dining for Dublin. Don't miss the Irish coffees!

An incredibley personalised experience where the service is well matched to the quality of the food. Well worth the visit.

Can't give this restaurant high enough a rating. From ambience to decor to staff to menu everything is top of the range. Don't be put off by Michelin star, no airs and graces here, proper food, served exquisitely. Possibly the best meal of my life. Will definitely come here again

Delicious food, incredibly attentive and knowledgeable staff. Decor was very modern and stylish with a really relaxed feel.

Stunning food and service. Had the tasting menu and it did not dissapoint

Very friendly and professional staff. The food was absolutely gorgeous!

Understated and elegant dining rooms for envelope pushing international menu or famous Irish coffee.

Simply amazing! Really loved this experience, highly recommended. Tasting menu full of flavours!

I had the pleasure of dining at Chapter 1 last night and it certainly did not disappoint. The attention to detail from all of the staff was second to none. The food was amazing. The wine superb and a must have to top it all off irish coffee made in front of you extremely flavour some. We were even brought into see the kitchen after our meal. First class all round and I would highly recommend Chapter 1. Keep up the great work.

My son took me here for a meal The whole experience from the time we entered the restaurant was amazing. We were made to feel so special. The food was amazing and the staff were brilliant. I will definitely be going back here and I will be buying vouchers for family and friends

A superb treat - friendly staff, exciting food and a great wine menu which allows you to try anything by the glass.

One of the best restaurants I've been to (and I've been to a lot of nice places). Duck L'Orange was the best I've ever had. Must visit if your'e in Dublin!

A must do . Its truly amazing . Such a great evening to be had .

Wife and I were so excited about going here and weren't disappointed in any way. The reviews we'd read beforehand were accurate - service is excellent, friendly and very relaxed (management must be commended for the obvious emphasis they put on service and training their staff), food was superb (we had the Taster menu for 80 ). The only minor flaw, and it really is minor, is that the choice of breads was rather disappointing when considering the other foods. Three varieties, brown, French onion and another white bread. No tomatoe or walnut or the likes. We'll be back for sure.

Great food, great staff - good for business dinners

We did the tasting menu - most of the courses were really good but the portions were tiny. Dessert was not nice at all, I left most of it on the plate. We found the whole experience less inspiring and way more expensive, comparing to the other Michelin star restaurants we have visited outside of Ireland. And an awkward thing - the toilet seat in the ladies' room was partly broken. That is not what you would expect visiting any high end establishment.

An excellent restaurant to visit before theatre. Staff fast, friendly and efficient. Food moderately priced and varied.

1 star restaurant, 1 star dishes and 1 star service. Everything as you'd expect it to be. Wine pairing is perfect and every dish straight to the point. If you are looking for the classical 1 star experience, that is it.

Great food and staff.. not easy to get a booking as they are in high demand but well worth the wait.

Exceptional service, food and setting. From the second you walk down the steps and in the door you enter another world. We felt very welcome and safe. The layout of the restaurant, attention to detail, superb service and delicious food all confirm why this is a Michelin star restaurant. Considering the restrictions due to Covid, the team in the restaurant all worked together and had everything set up so we were able to have a fantastic dining experience where we could temporarily forget the outside world.

The absolute best dining experience we've ever had, anywhere. Every single item was perfection. We just didn't want it to end. We almost forgot there was a pandemic going on and just escaped for the moment with the pleasant vibe. Would highly recommend for a special occasion!

Had experienced the Chef's table and was very impressed with the menu and wine pairings. Very highly recommended for the foodies who loves to try new flavours and texturea.

Love the food, staff and atmosphere here, great place to celebrate, even if you re just celebrating that it s the weekend! World class food and wine.

a wonderful fine dining experience... :) staffs are extremely professional and polite... food is fantastic.... should be goin again

Truly excellent dining experience. Can't wait to eat here again.

Excellent food and service. I went to Patrick Guilbaud before and prefer Chapter One.
