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.

I ate here on 30 December and reviewed it in January. Ate again in February, and again on 16 March. Like other reviewers, I also found it chilly in December, but the food was excellent, as it was every time I ate here. Today, the...heat was on 'full blast' and it was very comfortable in the main dining area. Service, food, ambience, value are all excellent. Booking advised, as the place is almost always full. Again - I'll be back soon.More

We had lunch here in late December. We had eaten here before and the food was very nice. We were served by a very pleasant local young lady who was working part time and also studying (we made sure to give her a good tip...which she really appreciated). We were the only people in the part of the restaurant that we were put in. The owner sat on a bar stool the whole time, looking at us. It made us feel very awkward. Also, the place was absolutely freezing so we weren't comfortable and didn't enjoy the nice food as much as we should have. I appreciate that we are in difficult times but some things like heating are an essential.More

I ate here on 30 December. Service excellent. Food perfect. Great value and menu choice. Great atmosphere - bizarrely, tables are close to each other but conversations are not easily overheard. Will be back again soon

Visited Hungry Monk for dinner during a weekend stay in Greystones. We had heard about the popularity of the restaurant and we’re eager to check it out. We sat in the smaller dining bar area and had a great service from Nicholas as our server....The meals were very good. Would highly recommend reservations in advance.More

We first found this gem 5 years ago by happy accident. Planned our return visit today and we were greeted warmly and had the most enjoyable meal. Drinks, starters, mains, desserts all fantastic, atmosphere was great and the service was attentive and we felt like...old friends. Hopefully back again within five years. On looking back at my photos from our last visit, I realised I’d had the same starter last time, just as delicious. Would definitely recommendMore

We were recommended this place and weren't disappointed! We hadn't booked but the owner was incredibly welcoming and superb with the kids. All the staff were super friendly and the food was excellent. The owner choose us some wine to go with the meal which...was spot on. One of the highlights of our holiday.More

The menu is varied catering to all tastes and the food is excellent. I had the steak and it was the tastiest steak I have had in a long time. Next time I shall opt for the pie which looked delicious.

This is a seriously expensive place and they wallop you with a 10 % service charge so beware. Food is good but never worth the cost
