Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Our golf group was here from the states and decided to eat here at the last minute. I had the chicken Marsala that was very good. Service was very good and there were many customers inside, usually a good sign. Strongly recommend this place while...visiting Malahide, just a few miles (20-25) away from Dublin. Loved the Diamond Main Street area!More

Omg the food here was amazing, myself and my friend went for early bird menu, excellent value for money and the food was excellent. Carol was very friendly and helpful. Nicest baileys cheesecake I ever tasted.

Top class food and service, as always. My husband and I had prawns for starter. We enjoyed mopping up the garlic sauce with bread and butter! My husband chose steak for his main course and it was perfectly cooked. My salmon was excellent. We'll be...back soon for another delicious, great value meal. Thank you to the chef and all the staff.

While on a golf trip to Malahide, our group of six had dinner at Sale e Pepe, selected based on the positive reviews on TA. We had requested a window table when making the reservation a couple of months prior to our visit, but were...seated on the other side of the restaurant - a minor disappointment. The main problem with this restaurant is the extremely high noise level, as there are many tables in a relatively small space, with a low ceiling. I had the hake, which was OK; it was served with a cream sauce which overwhelmed the taste of the fish. Others in our party had the seafood linguine, which is full of seafood. Prices are reasonable. The staff seemed to be in a rush all evening, as the restaurant is very popular and always packed.More

Good menu choices and awareness of safe preparation for gluten free as I have coeliac disease. A busy wee place so I suggest booking. Lovely waiting staff and good quality of food at a reasonable price, although nowhere is cheap to eat out in Ireland...as we found on this visit.More

Really good tasty food, very good service and value for money. The seafood linguine was a delight. The lighting was a little too bright. Candles and lower lighting would have created the perfect ambience.

A beautiful meal had by all. I normally go for fish when I eat here but decided to go for slow cooked rib of beef and it was divine. Food was 5 Star. Staff attentive and efficient as always. Definitely best restaurant in Malahide.

The main courses we had were excellent, tasty and good quality. The starters were average and the desserts were disappointing. Had a carafe of white wine and it was barely chilled. Overall a disappointing meal.
