I visited this restaurant recently to celebrate a family occasion and found it excellent in every respect. I had previously eaten in the bar, another pleasant experience, unusual food and well presented, and the restaurant was even better. The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating and all of the dishes we had were tasty and perfectly cooked.... More

In my most recent trip Oliver's seems to have reverted back to a more Irish style menu and it was very disappointing. My shrimp cocktail (most exciting appetizer on the menu) was not in any way special except for maybe the nice citrus slices. My dining mate's salmon was really lovely but again ho hum normal Dublin fare. Lastly my... More

We visited The Old Schoolhouse as a bar, and had some wonderful food. Real value for money in a City where dining out can cost you quite a packet. More

Honestly, when you've had the perfect dining experience like this there's little point in waffling on about the finite details of what we ate etc. etc. Suffice it to say that we had the most perfect evening. We enjoyed the best french food we've eaten in Dublin, accompanied by a perfect french wine. But the service is what gave the... More

We had our wedding here and it was amazing. Olivier and his team pulled out all the stops to make it a unique and memorable experience. We've also had regular dinner here and it's great. It's Michelin star standard food with out the prices. Olivier also makes the pub food in the Schoolhouse which is the best pub food in... More

A friend and I decided to dine here after hearing recommendations from work collegues. The staff were knowledgable about food ingredients (my friend is a celiac so this was very important). There is a set menu of three courses for 35 euro which is outstanding value. I ordered off the main menu and my friend the set ment and all... More

This is a real treat, the staff are superb, they make you feel like royalty! We enjoyed a fabulous set meal here, I can't remember how many courses we had, they just kept coming and to my own surprise I kept clearing my plate! They do a fabulous selection of home make breads, definitely the highlight for me, butter is... More
