We came to Buckley's for a small family celebration (there were 6 of us) and from start to finish the experience was exceptional.
The serving staff were delightful - very knowledgeable about the menu and the extensive wine list - and were on hand swiftly...should we want anything.
The food was delicious. They specialise in all manner of steak - only one of us had this, a T-bone, and declared it excellent. The cauliflower steaks for the vegetarians were innovative and very tasty. Veg made interesting! The fish was beautifully presented, well cooked, and expertly flavoured. Portions were incredibly generous and nobody thought they had been short-changed. We left after a cheese course and a chaser and felt very satisfied indeed.
There are a few F.X.Buckley's around Dublin. This one had a very intimate feel to it, which we enjoyed. Not loud, thoughtful lighting (not too dark), and small. It felt quite exclusive.
If you are a sensitive vegetarian and choose to go here, please be aware that there are cuts of beef hanging in a glass case in the restaurant.
Couldn't fault the evening. Thanks team.More
