Great food here - friendly staff too. It may not look that great from the outside but once in, the view over the Bridge is great, especially on a summer evening. Not the cheapest place around, but for a special occasion it is to be highly recommended. On the down side, it can be crowded and there is not a... More

We had dinner here on New Years Eve, the last night of our week long visit to Dublin. Was an excellent choice as food and setting are terrific. Did not strike me as touristy at all. Nice wine list. Kudos to you if you score a window table! More

Last time I was in there it was too hot and very overpriced. Touristy and if you have a few bucks to blow for an authentic faux gourmet food restaurant this is the one. More

We got attracted by the awards the Winding Stair had exposed out of the Restaurant, so we got in; it was the best decision. The atmosphere was classy, romantic and incredibly warm; the view of the Liffey out of the windows, the bookshop-like design and the wooden tables did the rest. The high-quality food was delicious.

I had read that this was a great restaurant and I was not disappointed. It took me a long time to get around to writing this review but I am finally doing it. The service was warm and friendly and a fine balance between professional and friendly. The food was excellent and the servers had intricate knowledge of their menu.... More
