Absolutely delicious and very creative! We were walking by on vacation in Dublin and the menu looked interesting so we gave it a try. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and welcomed. The staff gave great recommendations, explained what we were eating and the best way to do so since the food is served deconstructed, and answered any questions we had about ingredients. This will definitely be a place we come back to on our next visit!

The food and the atmosphere was amazing, the woman who welcomed us was so lovely and charming! The man who attended us was OK. Probably will come back here if we go again to Ireland.

Service is impeccable. Staff was a bit grim for my liking but very professional and patient which I appreciated. Food is decent and did not blow me away. Mains are all unique and unexpected (nothing familiar to a casual diner) so if you've never been there you may feel like you're taking a risk and can't fall back on tried and true favorites like steak, fries, etc. Some in our group loved the sense of adventure. I was hungry so didn't.

But, if you take one piece of feedback, please hear me out: The rice pudding. It tasted nice but the presentation... Oh my. It was served on a plate. Flat. So you get a plate with greyish lumpy goo that looks like it was slopped there by someone that deeply resents you. There's a reason rice pudding is always served in a bowl (I found that day). I will spare you the various analogies that my friends made about what it looked like. Treat for the palate but not for the eyes or the imagination.

It’s the night before your best friends wedding and you’re trying to find the perfect spot for dinner. There’s a myriad of different tastes and food restrictions. It is, quite frankly, a nightmare to find the perfect spot that’s going to appease and please everyone……. And then you book The Pig’s Ear. There’s back with a bang and then there’s this place. What Stephen, Andrea and the team have done here is nothing short of excellence. I can’t list dishes because I couldn’t possibly pick a favourite. Truly stunning food, warm and welcoming service, a wonderful wine list and just an overall joy. Thank you so, so much for making our night so special. And Eoghan, you were right in all things!
