    If you haven't been before, it's definitely a unique dining experience in Dublin. Be prepared for a very long meal however. I booked a table for 8pm and didn't get out of the place until almost 1am. Also, they'll push you to buy a bottle of wine, but most courses come with a drink of some kind, so if you're not looking to ply yourself with booze, I'd recommend holding off and not ordering any extra drink.

    It's definitely a go once and try it kind of place.

    HI all,

    Planning to go here soon - are meals there really that long? Need to book a babysitter so wanted to check....

    P.

    You should have waited for the other courses. There were seven of them you know.

    Yes but you can tell them you need to get through it quicker and they will oblige.

    Went last month mid Aug. Have to say impressed would be an understatement. Fantastic night all round with amazing service and the food was all very nice. Paid 10 extra plus 20 tip so for 130 that is some value. Couldn't stop raving about it.

    TIP for those going anytime soon. We ordered a white wine which was lovely but the steak came out and Tom was kind enough to fill a nice big glass of red to compliment it. We ended up getting the 3/4 of the bottle of Red as he also gave a glass to one of the other guests on White. That was a nice touch for me.

    At their quoted prices, I'd hope not.

    If you're having to make the bulk of your sales via voucher sites, your rack prices are far too high and you'd make a lot more cash dropping them to somewhere between the voucher price and what the voucher gouger actually gives you.

    Not going to repeat a lot of what was said here. I have not experience a better dining experience in Dublin. It is much better than Shanahans and Guilbads.

    I was there recently, it's worth going to. But let's be realistic here, it's not even in the same league as those two.

    They're getting quite a lot less than the voucher price at that.

    Yeah the comments here about the pricing is bizarre tbh, I spent a lot of time there wondering how they're keeping the doors open.

    Maybe its a numbers thing, have it full every night and make money on drink, I rang up a month ago and the earliest they could fit us in was the end of November.

    I'd say it's the only restaurant in Ireland that actually does not make money on drink :)

    Well I wouldn't go as far as that, my wife and I bought 2 bottles of wine the night we went. Over 30euro a pop, but lovely vino all the same. caipirinha there are around 11/13 euro a pop!

    We paid for 1 bottle of wine, but we had an awful, awful lot more to drink than that . Yes free stuff on top of all the stuff that came with the voucher as well. Gave Tom a €40 tip :)

    2.5 * retail is not unreasonable at all and pretty much the norm as a markup on wine in Irish restaurants

    Sorry forgot to mention, wife ordered two caipirinha's at end of our night, as I said I think they were 13 euro each so got a bit of a shock. I did mention it to Tom and he said as I didn't have many after drinks , he refunded us the 26euro, which I thought was nice.

    It was a great dining experience, but lads your missing one thing here. There is only one menu so there is going to be little or no waste so this is why they can still do it.

    That's really unacceptable and bordering on fraud, they need to improve that (hope they read this)!!!
    Sell as many vouchers as you can but don't give them a chance to make a booking. Some of them may even forget and give up!

    The restaurant doesn't get paid for the vouchers until they're cashed in.

    You need to ring in the afternoon; not evening. All their staff are busy serving food in the evening. Or you can leave a message if they don't answer and they'll call you back. I think it says somewhere on their website that they're unlikely to answer the phone during operating hours.

    I couldn't leave a voice mail as they had an old voice mail saying they were closed for a family wedding (a few weeks earlier),I thought they had gone bust! But the email worked.
