I visited Matt the Thresher for the first time last Friday with a group of former work colleagues for a retirement event. We were seated upstairs and menus handed out - it appeared to be a set menu with approximately 4 choices each of starter and main. Most dishes were seafood. I started with the mussels which were simply divine... More

First impressions . A well managed and spotlessly clean place.. just dropped in for lunch the other day and was really impressed, food was really good and waitong staff some of the best I've seen ... absolutly well worth a visit

I can't comment on the food because our greeting was so below standard that we had to leave. Immediately we were pegged as tourists and shuttled to the undecorated and uncomfortable room upstairs. We were told to take any table, with the feeling that it just didn't matter where we sat. The "manager" then presented the menu noting that several... More

My wife and I had a great meal and a great time at this restaurant. Although not inexpensive, we thought it was very good value for the quality of the meal. It is a very attractive restaurant in a good location. The service was also good, but the meal is what matters. We'd go again!

One of the finest fish restaurants we have visited, Mat the Thresher is an experience that demands to be savoured - do not go there if you don't have the time to enjoy the full experience. The Menu is very varied and the dishes we chose were all cooked to perfection and complemented by delightfully friendly and knowledgeable staff. A... More

I recently ate in the restaurant for my birthday along with my girlfriend and we both had a wonderful night. The food was amazing, fresh and tasty. Huge seafood menu (also some meat for the non fish eaters) and a great selections of wines and beers also. It's a lovely restaurant, easy to get to from the city centre, with... More

From the second you step across the door the warm welcome gives a hint of the friendly service you will receive during your visit. Fish is definitely the star on the menu, but there are great options for the non fish lover. We were a group of 7 and each one of us loved the food. The staff are very... More

Was there for a business dinner. Very easy access from center of city. Attentive, engaging, informative and humorous waiter made everyone feel comfortable and he read the crowd well. Explained a lot about the menu and some of the history of Dublin, the restaurant and the local scene to our out-of-town guests. The menu was solid, good variety, nice flavor... More

We visited here last night pre theatre, so was a little pushed for time. David our waiter was perfect, attentive, polite, knowledgable and enthusiastic, definitely in the right job, he really cared that we enjoyed our meal and that everything was 'just right'. The venue was modern but with charm and most importantly very clean. The toilets were also spotlessly... More
