    We went to karens and they were very helpful before hand sorting for my partners birthday. When we got there we were the only people expecting it to be a little busier, they guy was funny but I didn't feel it was what we expected from videos etc... the food was average. But we've been and they didn't fail just getting it wasn't as lively and busy as we would have expected which would have made it slightly better.

    Everything was amazing—the tacos were delicious, the margaritas were fantastic, and the vibe was just right. But the best part was definitely the service. Everyone was so kind, attentive, and full of positive energy—it really made the experience extra special. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    I had a truly wonderful experience celebrating my first Mother’s Day in Dublin at this lovely restaurant. From the charming decor to the delicious cuisine and warm service,everything exceeded our expectations. We ordered the special Mother’s Day set menu. The owner was very friendly and made us feel right at home with great conversation. It was a truly memorable dining experience.
