The place looks nice from the outside - even if they did paint over the redbricks and ruin a terrace. I went there twice. First time the server knocked a half dozen rolls on the floor and made a big show of putting them away somewhere (unseen) out the back. I bought a Vienna roll which looked a...

I was here for the opening night and I was very impressed with it. The modern glassy frontage belies the inner traditional auditorium. I was sitting very close to the stage so I cannot judge how good an experience the people at the back had but I cannot find fault with my experience.
There are ...

I had early bird here recently which I enjoyed immensely. €20 per head. I had a chicken starter and a lamb main course. My partner had lamb starter and fish curry main course. Everything was really tasty but the service was almost too speedy considering it was a Sunday and there weren't customers...

Following a disastrous experience a few doors down in Brambles we ended up here for breakfast. I had my heart set on eggs benedict which wasn't on the menu but I settled for poached eggs which were absolutely perfect when they arrived. And I think they cost less than a fiver. Also they were serve...

Well I revisited Brambles last Saturday and I have to take back everything that I wrote 12 months ago. We were shown to a table, given menus and left there for over 10 minutes while the waitresses cavorted with the waiter behind the counter. We left due to lack of attention and don't intend to ...

MacNean house offers a dining experience of the highest order. During our visit there we were presented with dishes that were such works of art it was almost a shame to eat them!

There is an €85 (€125 inc wine selection) tasting menu or €70 dinner menu which is what we ordered. I had a star...

I don't like bagels but I do like tea, coffee and hot chocolate. I've been attending a class in Dundrum for the past few weeks and we go here afterwards for a chat and refreshments. Being a newcomer to the class I wasn't about to suggest a different venue.
The first week I had tea which wasn't...

A winner.

Consistently good food, service and attention.

Absolutely worth investigating if you are in Dingle with some time and money to spare.

One of my favourites. Fresh fish only - luckily for me there has always been somebody around to land a catch!
It's a funny little place - a higgledy piggledy old cottage with a lean to knocked through and a deck for al fresco dining.
It's not cheap but the food is fabulous if you like fish. ...

Any bride on a budget should definitely make an appointment to view the dresses here. Contrary to popular belief most of the dresses here are new - being discontinued stock from various wedding shops around the country.

There is also a great selection of accessories (new and used) - shoes, v...

We stopped in here the other night for a quick drink and we were so overwhelmed by the stench of stale food that we turned round and left immediately.

We had chosen here over the 108 on the basis that it looked nicer... What's that they say about judging books by their cover?

We went to t...

Ate here recently and was very pleased. The early bird menu was exceedingly good value. I had carpaccio of tuna (yummy), followed by grilled lamb's liver which I often order when I see it on menus as nobody else in my house will touch the stuff. It was really good.

My partner had confit of ...

Four of us ate here recently and we were all very happy with the food, service, ambience ... the lot.

I had a dozen or so of the tenderest snails I've ever had; served with a garlic herb sauce that didn't kill their flavour. This was followed by braised rabbit which fell away nicely from the ...

I'm not very impressed with this theatre. I only go to shows here if I REALLY don't think I'll get a chance to see them elsewhere. The last 3 times I went I found what irritated me, beyond reason - I might add, was the quality of the programme. On 2 occasions this consisted of the play script...

Sunday breakfast. Small fry. Luckily I specifically asked for my egg to be soft and not runny otherwise I would have got the disgraceful things my partner got - turned and dirty looking. Why can't they use clean oil? My rasher had been left on the pan too long and had a brown 'sticking' mark...

We ate here the other night. The staff were friendly and efficient. We had a nice table at hte back of the room. I ordered scallops to start and himself had the frog's legs. I was disappointed with the scallops which were the tiniest things I have ever seen, no bigger than marrowfat peas. Al...

Had a lovely al fresco lunch here on Sunday last. The food was superb. I had a chicken liver and roasted root vegetable dish and himself had the goat's cheese offering which I didn't taste because I absolutely loathe goat's cheese. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were entertained by swallo...

Sure I did my first penance, first communion, I was confirmed and married here I'd have to recommend it.

Only thing is they painted the beautiful external timber doors a few years ago and they do't look as nice as they could.

Grand convenience store and the owner (or main worker) is very friendly and hospitable.

First I have to say that this is a terrible photo!

I used to go to Neville for years and only changed because I believe it is necessary to change your hairdresser every once in a while otherwise you can get stuck in a rut - hairwise.

So, while I don't go there now, I would recommend this sa...

I love this beautiful hidden garden. It's not quite the secret garden it was years ago when I was working in Earlsfort Terrace and the place was a bit wild and overgrown. But now it's a pleasant place to stroll duting the day and a lovely venu for the occasional concert.

This long awaited gallery has proved to be a bit of a disappointment.

Merrion Square offers a lot of the same work without the middle man.

I think quality artists know they need to be with a quality gallery and this gallery just hasn't cut its teeth yet.

Many years ago I'd a great night here. Good to see it's still going.

I'm dying to try this place.

I don't get here often enough but it's a great place to find an out of date book in the second-hand section upstairs. Often the 'second-hand' books are brand new, which is a bonus.

I have to say I was totally disappointed with this market. Fruit and veg aplenty but other than that there was a few dodgy looking 'cup cakes' and nothing else. Sheridan's cheese not in evidence, no nice breads or interesting chutneys/jams. It was a nothing market.

Try Marley or Leopardst...

I've been here a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it as a venu. Mostly I was at comedy shows so be advised to stay away from the front seats lest you be drawn into the show as an involuntary stooge.

Amy is right - the bar is something else.

What a dump!

Thin soup. Squashed paninis. Coffee like ditchwater.

While on jury service I was obliged to eat here a number of times and it was really poor quality. I could have gone elsewhere at my own expense and would have done so exept that I might have missed some discussions relevent ...

I like the 'events' feature.

It would be nice to have a facility to review these events.

Went for brunch on Sunday.

Building looks nice on the outside but the inside is a bit shabby.

I ordered eggs benedict and they came on huge muffins with very large slices of ham, small eggs and a layer of unpleasant looking hollaindaise. There were a few French fries on the side. The coff...

I met a friend here for coffee at 11 last week but the menu was so inviting we ended up having brunch. We weren't disapponted. My eggs benedict was absolutely perfect. My co eater ordered scrambled egg with smoked salmon (minus the toast) and she got an enormous helping which she said was ex...

There aren't enough superlatives in the English language to this place any justice. It was a superb dining experience and, to date, the best I have ever experienced in Ireland.

The dining room is very spacious and there is plenty of room between tables. The staff, from the Irish maitre di, t...

My daughter and I went here last night on our way to the Point. It wasn't yet full to capacity and so I expected to be fed in good time for a leisurely stroll to see our show. Our orders were taken within about 7 minutes of our arrival. Dough balls to share, a pizza, vegetarian cannelloni, a b...

Grrrrrrr.

Bought tiles here. Needed some extra ones 2 months later ... all gone, never to be seen again. They should have warned me when I bought.

Always worth popping in here for a look. They have good sales too.

The old reliable for children's shoes. They still have the rocking horse... but not the one that was there when I was a child, thankfully.

I'm torn between giving this 3 or 4 stars.

I had an excellent 2 course (or was it 3?) lunch here a few weeks ago for something ridiculous like 19.95. I had venison suasage and I thought I might get one skinny little thing but I got two fine jumbos ones, with plenty of mash and veg.

The mea...

This is a grand place to take your partner, your Mammy, your Granny, the kids, in fact everyone. Good old reliable food and some more modern offerings too. Ask for a table overlooking the Dodder.

Probably best avoided in May - I'd imagine it's a communion hotspot.

The word is that you should make sure that Lisa herself is doing the cooking when you eat here.

She was the night we stopped in. It was late, about 10:30, and they were happy to feed us. Hubby and I sat down and while we hummed and hawed about having starters the waitress (Lisa's daughter) s...

Based on the fact that we used to have take out from here at least once a month for about 5 or 6 years and it was always yummy.

That said, our kids are older and we don't have to stay home to mind them, I haven't ordered from there for about 12 months.

We went here not long after it opened and we were a group of 8. even allowing for that I thought the acoustics in the building were terrible. It was too noisy for comfort.

The food was very nice.

I recognised the waiter from my local Italian Restaurant - he'd jumped ship - and I persuad...

Went twice. First time was excellent based on what it's trying to be.

We came back with friends and it wasn't so hot.

I wouldn't rule it out completely as a venu, it's fine.

When Harry met Sally....

The burgers here have the same effect.

Been a few times. Always excellent. Real Italians. Will go again.

I went here on the recommendation of an Italian lady living in Dublin for decades. She said it was absoloutely the best and most authentic Italian place in the city.

All I can say is that she is sadly mistaken.

There were six of us and we were squashed into a space more suited to four. T...

Handy place to go with teenagers.

Bit noisy though.

Mossiman (spelling?) curry is the one to go for.

Need to book and be prepared to be rushed. Bums on seats is their motto, not customer is king.

I'm a fan of the independent man....

Now I don't drink coffee here, not that I've ever even tried it because I'm always seduced by their hot chocolate.

YOu can read their paper or meet someone for a board game.

I'm not so keen on the telly though.

Had a hankering in the dead of winter for an old 'fresh cod and chips'. So I stopped here on my way home to pick up some and it was just what the doctor ordered.

Their queueing system needs attention. I was served before other people who had ordered identicial food before me. I think I was ...

Mmmmm Monsoon.

We've eaten here a few times and I have to say it has always been excellent.

Monsoon is a very airy spacious place and the angled mirrors on the wall give it an even roomier look. They are handy for people watching too.

Oh and by the way the food is excellent.

I ate here last summer and it was absolutely forgettable. I would have remembered if it was outstanding or disastrous so it was clearly average at best.

I know I preferred the one in town - more intimate - whereas this place has a barn like feel to it.

Where, oh where, would you find a place like this only DIngle.

Run by people who love cinema. Sunday matinees for the kids have a free raffle for tickets for another matinee. A box of sweets is also handed around.

Tuesday film club is preceded by coffee/biscuits and a short talk about the...

It's not everyone's cup of tea but I have a soft spot for this cinema and would go here to see a movie in preference to Dundrum, The Square or Liffey Valley.

Bad news about the basement car parking... beware clampers. There are notices re parking there in the day time. Luckily I wasn't park...

One of my favourite cinemas.

Car parking is very handy.

Well this might be out of business soon so I'm probably wasting time writing a review.

Well, actually, I shouldn't review it at all as I rarely use it. They have internet, a tan shop and some world movies as well as the usual hollywood stuff.

This place offers good value for money if you opt for the early bird menu. And, to be truthful, the main menu doesn't go overboard with the pricing either.

Seasonal opening, but it's been here a long time.

Dingle is quite a cosmopolitan place and this supermarket is well stocked with almost all the things you would expect to find in any big town supermarket.

Anything you want just ask. They'll probably have it.

This is a lovely place to visit on a sunny day when the rugby season is over. (It is a strip of land bridging Terenure RFC and the grounds of Terenure College, so there isn't much peace to be had during the season.

Nothing wrong except that somebody is smoking here. It stinks of cigarettes.

No smoking in the work place came in when??

Grand handy place. Lots of alternative medicines too, if that's your thing.

I got quite a few things here until I discovered Aldi!

Old reliables were fizzy water and stella beer - it used to be the best price in Dublin. They have some lovely Indian meals in the cook/chill cabinet. I've never tried them but hubby and the kids eat them when I'm away.

Check out the fish guy and the potato man.

Jaysus I might go blind in here it's so dark. I've to strain my eyes to see anything. Now I know there might be a plan to be a 'green' supermarket but I really need a flashlight to find my way around here.

Anyway I only go here intermittently and I can never find anything. T

My choice for the weekly shopping. Generally plenty of parking and well stocked. But I never l look at the clothes section since they opened the upstairs section. I'm sure I'm not the only one either.

I've been a member here since it opened.

Let me tell you I hate doing weights so I don't bother with all that.

What I like is the pool and that is all I use there. It's fine as along as there are no 'walkers'. There's a group of bloody walkers that come there in the mornings and hog the ...

Oh dear this place is slipping...

We have always loved this restaurant and finally brought some foodie friends to it recently. And what a disappointment. The selection of bread brought to the table was super but after that everything went downhill... and my friend, who generally eats everyth...

I've been here twice in the last 12 months. The first time I didn't know the layout of the place and that we should have asked for a particular table that would be more to our taste. Unfortunately, we were stuck out in the middle of the restaurant with staff to-ing and fro-ing and carving and s...

I ate here not long before it was awarded it's star. The food was absolutely wonderful and the sommelier did a fantasticl job in finding a wine to suit both of us.

At the end of the meal I decided to have the cheesboard with some port. The sommelier said he would recommend the port after I'd...

This place is off the beaten track for me. However I did eat lunch there with some friends and it was delightful. The food was authenticly Italian and there was plenty of it.

I'd certainly recommend it for food but you'd definitely need a reservation.

Oh Yummy yummy yummy.

We ate there a while ago and although I cannot remember what we actually ordered I do remember that it was absolutely divine. We promised ourselves that we would return but of course we haven't gotten around to that yet.

But we will.

Only 4 stars? Yes well the cha...

Oh Yes Liz is absolutely right. It's a great place for people watching. Be sure to get a good table to engage in this sport!

But the food is absolutely fantastic too. Definitely worth a trip.

Nerd note: People is an anagram of Peploe.

At the end of the day it's an Italian restaurant... while I had a very enjoyable evening here with friends I felt the bill was excessive for what we had.

I won't deny that the food was excellent - but I just didn't feel it justified the cost.

I was surprised that this restaurant was so quiet when I went there for lunch a few months ago when the recession wasn't even a rumour.

The food was excellent as was the service.

I've been here twice. Once for lunch and once for pre-theatre and both times were absolutely superb. The food is excellent the staff friendly and efficient and the crisp white table linen lends an air of old fashioned formality to this bright, modern building.

Try it! You won't be disappointed.

I ate here after having tried the one in Dundrum. I expected a lot more from this restaurant as it is the original one. Some items from the rather small menu were no longer available. And the waiter really didn't make any effort to apologise about it.

I wouldn't bother going back.

Good for lunch. Bad for dinner.

Intersesting food at a reasonable price. Very convenient for a pre-theatre bite and much more affordable than Chapter One.

The only downside is the noise - and it can be very loud in here. So don't go there for a quiet romantic meal.

5 stars all the way...

This is probably the best restaurant in the city. And I've been to all the Michelin starred ones except the one out in Malahide (DNS - only kidding!). The Pearl Brasserie would absolutely hold it's own against all of the starred restaurants and don't be surprised if ...

You can pick up some fantastic meat here and they always have some non-meat item on special offer. The counterhands are a laugh too.

Check it out. The meat is very good.

This is a super shop. Stocked aplenty with fruit and veg it also has a large range of exotic fare too. Unusual fresh pastas, cheeses and cold cuts.

Interesting jars of mad stuff too.

Yum.

Think back to sixth year maths. Did you do combinations/permutations? Well in order to figure out exactly how many possible burgers you could order here you will need a good head for the old figures.

Mind you, on the subject of figures... you shouldn't be watching yoursif you go here becaus...

Absolutely top notch restaurant. I don't know why it's not as well known as some other lesser places. Yes! it is expensive but it is worth every penny. I've only been twice, once with a friend and once with a large group. Both times everything was absolutely first class.

Keep it up!

I've been a few times. The first time was by far the best. In fact it was so good I should never have returned because my expectations were so high.

We had the tasting menu that time (with wine) and each little course surpassed the previous one. It was almost orgasmic, if that's an allowab...

Oh How I miss the old KCR. This new place isn't up to much and once they brought in Cuisine de France - well - that was the end of it. The old place had a great bread making machine and I don't know why they needed to change it.

Change isn't always good.

The Gate Theatre never disappoints. It is consistent in the quality of it's productions. I am almost at the stage of simply booking blind for the next play although I've never actually done that!

Any magazine you want - I bet you'll find it here. (Well - as long as it's legal).

I love this supermarket and visit it about once a month for those unusual items that I can't get in my own supermarket. I love all those jams/pickles that they have and their fruit/veg is usually excellent.

The downside is the parking - watch out for those bloody clampers.

Once upon at a time it was a shame to be seen shopping here now it is a shame not to be seen here. Everyone is shopping here and the car park is full of high end vehicles to prove it.

Talk to your friends and find out what they buy here. I'd recommend their brie - so stinky you'll need to tr...

60 of us went there one Saturday in December for a Christmas lunch. I wasn't expecting much and was more than pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the service. It was tasty, well presented and served by efficient friendly staff.

Well done!

5 stars for the coffee. That's all I've had here. And I only drink americano. However the capuccinos always look so incredibly inviting that I'm tempted.

I went to the sandwich bar just after the main lunch hour rush. I saw a staff member make a fresh sandwich for another customer so I was quite impressed. When I asked for a panini from the menu board I was told that the particular one was sold out. I pointed out that they might make a freshone...

Absolutely top notch. I had a meal here last year and I have to say I've every intention of returning. There were of us dining so we had a good sample of the menu and everything was tasty, well prepared and presented.

Our Aussie staff were quite amusing too.

Great place for couples or sma...

Lovely food, friendly staff.

A bit pricey. The tables for two were rather cramped and for the sake of comfort for the diner they ought to get rid of one of the tables in this area.

Stephen O is absolutely right. Lovely food, pleasant and helpful staff but the premises is a bit 'off'. The cellar smells damp too so I would always ask for a table on the ground floor.

A great place for a small group of four or six.

We ate there in January and I found the menu to be overpriced and rather boring. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the building was lovely but the food was dull and bland and definitely not worth the cost.

Spend the same money in One Pico, Venu, Roly's and you won't be disappointed.

Interesting food. We went there on a pre NCH evening and we were a bit worried as we were the only customers. However it was only 6 o'clock and when we were leaving at 7:30 ish it was beginning to liven up. So really we had the advantage of the undivided attention of the chef ... we stuck to e...

Great value for money.
WARNING... be hungry when you arrive as the starters would feed a family - well the bruschetta would anyway.

Nice easy going food and atmosphere and Italian staff to boot.

I will never darken the doors of this cinema again.

I went there recently and there was a fault with the screen or the movie reel which caused vertical black lines to appear on the screen. I said it to the supervisor afterwards and she called the projectionist over and they both shrugged and...

A gem of a cinema. Spacious and bright public areas. Makes a pleasant change from dirty sticky carpets in other cinemas.

This place is trading on the name of a chef who no longer has any associations with it.

The food is disappointing to say the least. Any half hearted foodie could produce a better Italian meal than the two I've had here.

Save your money. Buy some nice ingredients, google some recipes an...

We had a fantastic meal here a few months ago. I wouldn't fault it for anything. And now it is offering wonderful specials on week nights. Definitely worth a try.

I went for a drink here recently and was not impressed at all. There was a lot of staff and not too many customers but there wasn't any effort made to serve us. But what was worst of all was the horrible smell wafting through the corridors - like stale boiled cabbage. The kind of smell Id ass...

Handy, old style convenience store.

Karl rocks

Always good and worth the extra money.

Good little shop. I haven't tried the coffee corner but I intend to when the weather is better.
All things being equal its important to suppoert our independent book sellers. Incidently the last book I bought there was a euro cheaper than in Waterstones/Dubrays. It was only a modern work o...

Great wine shop. Not only will Evelyn tell you what wine you should have with your meal but will also suggest food to have with your wine!

For what Howard's offers it is superb. Free wine and 2 courses for about 25 Euro ( I might be a bit wrong on the price). It doesn't pretend to be anything other than great value for money which is why it is always booked out at the weekend.

I love it and I highly recommend it for those night...

Typical Italian joint. It has undergone a refurb recently and looks fantastic. But on my recent visit there I found that the staff were not nearly as attentive as before. It was a Wednesday night and not overly busy yet we were left with our used plates in front of us for almost 30 minutes. S...

Always reliable and if you can make it for the early bird menu you will do really well.

Was there recently for the jazz night and it was very entertaining.

The head man (not the owner) needs to get a more user friendly. The rest of the staff are lovely.

I went here a number of years ago on a Monday night. I was forewaned that the food would be buffet style as Monday was the chef's night off. That was OK with me.

On arrival we were shown the buffet which consisted of 3 hot dishes on a bain marie or similar. No explanation or description o...

Sadly Mr Morewear (as we called him as children) has passed away.

This was a great shop, not a repair while you wait place despite the signage. But the owner was quite a character.

A bit expensive although early bird offers are now being extended.

Always a friendly welcome (sawadee) here and the food is very good.

Always handy for an interesting last minute emergency gift.

Had a weekday lunch here and it was superb. Great value, very tasty and generous helping.

I hope they rejig the menus every few months to keep the customers interested.

It's gone.... says everything

First visit was good - nice steak. Subsequent visits marred by poor food and rude staff.

Yes. Top marks for this busy salon. Friendly and efficient staff who know when to chat and when not to! I've never had to spend more than 5 minutes waiting around. Nice coffee too.

I'm only giving this place a star because I can't submit the review without one.

I came here on a recommendation and my first visit was fine. A subsequent visit for a leg wax was a nightmare. It was such a torture that I would never return. I've had dozens of waxings but none was as harsh o...

I haven't been here for quite a while. I was a regular attendee until I got suspicious about the hygiene standards.
