I went here with my boyfriend for dinner mid week. We had the surprise tasting menu with the matching wines- it was absolutely amazing. Each course was full of flavor and the dishes were beautifully presented. The wines were really well paired and the sommelier was very knowledgable and so friendly. The staff were really lovely and not at all... More

Had lunch from set menu .25 euro for two course or 30 euro for three course. Selected the main course and desert since the weather had given me two bad days in Dublin and i had a slight cold and this not the place you get chicken soup. The cod was perfectly cooked and the presentation was sublime. The passion... More

Absolutely wowed by our meal in the Greenhouse. The level of attention & service was amazing and each course was a taste sensation. The flavour from each element on the dish seemed heightened or enhanced by the other elements on the plate. We had the 5 course menu and from the arrival of the bread we knew we were in... More

Myself and 3 colleagues had the surprise 5 course lunch taster menu here on 7th June. Having read the largely gushing reviews on this site, we had raised expectations. The food was interesting, creative and delightfully presented but somehow the overall experience was lacking. The service was competent and generally professional if a tad overbearing at times and it was... More

Went for the surprise taster menu with wines and was very disappointed. The waiter service was snooty (although a word for the sommelier who was lovely!) - I mean come on lads, you're waiters FFS!!!!! We were paying 100 euro per head and you don't expect the staff to be snotty with you. The food was okay but frankly pretentious... More

We had lunch here, and went for the surprise tasting menu. It was very very good. Foie Gras & Buckthorn was amazing. Poached Salmon was fabulous. White fish for the third course (may have been halibut?) was excellent. Pork jowl was excellent. Apricot and Tapioca dessert was very nice. The Petit Fours, one aerated milk chocolate piece each, was disappointing... More

Last night was an unexpected treat to fine dining in Dublin. It was my birthday so I knew my partner was organising something special. The moment you enter you are greeted by lovely ambient lighting, tastefully & well decorated interiors with great choice of colours (I wanted to take home some of the furniture & glassware). The staff were formal... More

This was my second visit having been slightly disappointed the first time, but I sure wasn’t disappointed this time. To start I had pork cannelloni which was itself not particularly exciting, but which came with an absolute panoply of delicious accompanying flavours. The other starter was even tastier, a beautifully poached salmon in what was listed as a “chilled jersey... More

A generous friend gave us a voucher for The Greenhouse, having enjoyed a meal here herself. We had the five course surprise tasting menu and the option of wine to match. It was a really lovely meal. Food was presented exquisitely. It encompassed some new flavours that were delicious. Both the fish courses were my favourites. The canapes were also... More
