    Food was excellent. Our server was unfortunately rude and brusque. We have dined here several times before and service was always excellent. It was disappointing in front of our guests from Scotland.

    Warm welcome on arrival and extremely professional service throughout lunch. Food was delicious- I mixed and matched - we shared starters of zucchini fries and sourdough bread. I had a starter portion of filo prawns and a side of greens. Portions were very generous. Great wine selection, beautifully chilled. To be repeated!

    I had the “breakfast experience” on Sunday May 4th. Luke warm coffee followed by a small not very hot or appetising breakfast. The service was good.

    The experience within the restaurant is excellent, but the Black Face /Beef Shepard Pie portion is unacceptable small for the price of it. Not enough for an adult meal. The Asian chicken was excellent and good value.
    The Ivy Dawson StreetResponded on May 5, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you had an excellent experience overall and that you enjoyed the Asian chicken dish. We’re sorry to hear, however, that the portion size of the Black Face / Beef Shepherd’s Pie did not meet your expectations. Your comments are very important to us, and we will be sure to pass them on to our culinary team for review as we continuously strive to improve both the quality and value of our offerings. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, The Ivy Dublin
