Host is the best restaurant in Ranelagh and one of the best in Dublin city. The pumpkin capellacci and the burrata salad are star starters. Our sole and lamb chops mains were excellent - both dishes are very large in size, ideal for sharing. The service is very prompt, friendly and professional. It is a very busy restaurant so not a place for a long lingering evening and you are quickly moved along once your allocated dining time has expired. Another tip, book well in advance - it is very difficult to get a table at Host which is a ringing endorsement of the excellent restaurant that it is.
