From start to finish the nice est of any meal I’ve had in cork city in the last 5 years. Service brilliant. Food even better. A proper menu showcasing corks best. The waitress was incredibly professional also the best service I’ve experienced in cork. Reasonably...priced and will be returning regularly!More

All enjoyed ... booking is essential a must visit if in Cork ... staff very helpfull with the menu choices .Also beers worth high praise also

What a fantastic experience. The service was excellent & our server May was wonderful. The space is compact & quaint with table & counter service. Make a reservation or you might be disappointed because you can’t get a seat while you’re here. This is a...steakhouse with alternative choices too such as whole fish or a vegetarian option too. My wife had the sea bass, which I tasted very nice & light l. I had T-bone served to perfection & cooked over fore grill. The cocktails were excellent too, try their punch if they have it. The malt chocolate mouse was excellent as well.More

Staff were great, friendly and helpful answering questions and helping us choose Smoked fish and steak were amazing Really good quality and great cocktails to choose from too. Would highly recommend / we just got in but had to eat at 6pm so book in...advance - especially the weekendMore

We ate here, based on reviews. Sounded different. It was! Staff great Food fab. Experience exciting. Recommend

My wife and I had a great night here, the food and service were terrific and at the end of the meal we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the bill!

This is a marvelous restaurant. And to watch Chef Harrison was as entertaining as any entertainment we've had. I highly recommend this restaurant. The stakes are absolutely amazing, and we love the desserts too! We liked it so much. We went two nights in a...row.More

We had a wonderful meal in Elbow Lane last night. Why did I wait so long to return after our last [also excellent] experience here?! Between my friend and I, we had starters of Welsh rarebit [not the traditional kind by a longshot!] and lamb...in a blanket made with lamb raised on the Blasket Islands. For mains, C. had the whole fish [gurnard] and a side of smoked beetroot with bone marrow and walnut vinaigrette. I tasted her beetroot and it was sooo good. I had the ribeye steak and charred broccoli. I asked for my steak medium rare and that's exactly what I got. It was juicy and delicious and cooked to perfection. A great meal from start to finish. I also love the look of Elbow Lane, specifically the Mondrian style murals and the tiles above the open fire. The service was excellent, and there's a great buzz around the place, including the bar. It was very busy even on a rainy Tuesday night, and I understand why. I won't wait so long to come back!More

What a wonderful restaurant! The service was impeccable and the food outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed everything, I would highly recommend

#1 restaurant in Cork according to Trip Advisor and they may not be wrong! Their sister place Goldie across the street may give them a run for the money. Book in advance as this is a fairly small place and seems to be always full....That wood burning oven is the star here -- as it seems most of dishes fly out of there. I went for the big one -- T-Bone steak with filet next to the bone and smoked butter on top! Tender and delicous with a smokey flavor. The whole fish was mackerel and was cleaned to the bone (see photo). Forgot -- we started with a lovely carrot starter (roasted to perfection from that oven). Presentation, service, and food quality was outstanding -- so was their home brewed beer! I would've tried almost everything on the menu but we'll have to come back next time. Thank you Elbow Lane!More

Wow! So perfect, food coma❤️ Beautiful ambiance, service and fooood! We had vegetarian dish with a grilled aubergine, slow smoked baby ribs and wood grilled ribeye and all their side dishes. Kitchen has an open concept, it’s so nice to see how the food is...molded into art. Our server was knowledgeable, fast and nice. Music was great. Desert was presented and put together to please an eye and the taste buds. Great, short wine selection, something for everyone. Beer is made at the spot, great selection. Highly recommendMore

A wonderful dinner at this fine Cork restaurant. The steak and ribs were fabulous. Five stars to our server May who made us feel at home for our last night in Cork. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend this small comforting dining establishment
