We went for my fathers birthday. Host has never disappointed. The young man serving us was sensational all night to us. Great fun, lovely craic, this probably only happens when as a server you has utter confidence in the food. Every other review will mention how amazing the food is, which it is, but the staff make what could be a stuffy eating experience one of the most relaxed environments Dublin has to offer. 10/10, could never recommend host, the food and staff higher.

Our first time eating in Host and I now understand why it’s so difficult to get a booking. It’s cost alright, we had the window seat which was great and private in a way. It has a really nice local feel. And the food was really great. I really liked the approach to the menu and we had the chefs menu. Each course was absolutely delicious. And the recommended Monastrell was lovely too. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be trying to make it back.
