Was originally seated at sloping table which didn’t work for us. The team organised a table inside which was perfect and more comfortable. Food selection good and the prawn dish was exceptional.. really nice evening

A difficult restaurant to get a booking but worth the wait. We ordered À la carte but there was a tasting menu option. From the small bites menu we ordered the sourdough which was superb and the pardon pepper dish was next level ( stuffed peppers) . From the starters we had stuffed cabbage dish with a pistachio cream - fab - and a mackerel dish which again was delicious. Mains were duck and monkfish, so good with a side of potato which was one of the best I’ve ever had . The service was excellent, just the right level of attention , friendly and informed. Dessert was a delicious ice cream and a chocolate cake which was gently flavoured with Mescal and olive oil - really different and yummy This is a great restaurant - highly recommended

Liza, was very helpful in helping us decide meal choices and wine selections. She was very conscientious that our needs were met and personable. The atmosphere was excellent with the cave like downstairs motif in the history of the building. The staff was A+ and so was the food. I had beef Cheeks and there was also cod on the table and a Barada salad. The toffee pudding is a must do . Looking forward to coming back next time we are in Dublin. We chose the set menu for €77 each and it was a great value as the wine pours, and the portion sizes were very generous.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner once again in the Dining Room at Fallon & Byrne. The food was lovely, especially the oysters. Our server Rado (?) was a gentleman and looked after us with great care and attention. I'm always happy to return to F&B and to recommend it to others.
