Really enjoyed the mocktail and the starters were lovely. The mains were nice too, but for us the starters were definitely the highlight of the meal. Service was good, and it was nice to see the maître d' greeting so many local customers by name, which is always a good sign.

Reviews
Truly deserving of its Michelin status, this Blackstone restaurant is in a class by itself. We dined on a Sunday, opted for the chef's choice 4-course meal, and were treated to a stunning array of dishes, beginning with ocean-fresh oysters on the half shell, progressing to the best monkfish filet we've ever tasted, and ending with two exquisite deserts (the basil pannacotta with gariguette strawberries was to die for). The wine list is expertly curated, with suggested pairings always on the mark. A highlight of our many restaurant experiences over the past two decades.
Wonderfully creative food. We decided to go for a 'boring' main - the cote-de-boef - it was however one of the best steaks we've had in Dublin, giving the steakhouses their fair run for money. Not the cheapest at €80pp with a glass of wine but worth it.
