It was pretty packed, which made for a buzzing atmosphere. The only qualm really was the price of the food...I got 3 scallops for starters, which were €17! Although tasted lovely, don't think it's worth that. They also add a 12.5% service charge onto the bill automatically, which I don't agree with at all. (even though ther service was indeed impeccable) But, apart the high price of the food, I really can't rave enough about it - my boyfriend had the suckling pig for starters and that was just "WOW" - it came with black pudding which literally melted in the mouth. For mains I had the wild mushroom risotto which was divine - so creamy! He had the beef which came with potato gratin - which he loved! He polished off the potato gratin in minutes, and when the waiter came down to check if everything was ok, my boyfriend commended the potato - and the waiter gave him some more :) We ordered the chese plate to share for dessert - again, MOST of the cheeses were delicious - there was one which was a bit too strong for our liking though!! All in all, loved dining here...but would only come back for a special occassion - not the cheapest in the world! Joined Jul 09 8 Reviews 0 Hats Off! loading... Kiwi D (Foodie) Credibility Score: 36% Visited: 23 Mar 2010 | Posted: 2 Months ago The hubby and I treated ourselves to Dax for our anniversary after having a superb evening here with family about a year ago. It was lovely with the same excellent service, presentation and food. It’s quite expensive though, it was our anniversary so we went all out with aperitifs, 4 courses etc but even so the bill was a LOT more than what we’d usually spend. I would recommend the place to anyone looking for a true fine dining experience but expect to pay for it.

We were received by the manager, from ... Dax (the mystery is over). Dax is actually a town in the south-west of France, which is one of the greatest region for food. Anyway, we were received perfectly, in a way which was relaxed and polite in the same time. The restaurant is in a basement, with low ceiling, and a deco recalling a nice cellar. I liked it but wouldn't have minded more space (still waaaay better than any parisian restaurant though). Concerning the food, it is not extravagantly original but efficient: the French classics revisited, and always with very good products (the beef from Carlow was impressive). Special mention for the desserts though, prepared by the pastry chef ... don't skip it! And for the wine, we had a white and a red one, and they were simply excellent (can't remember the names, sorry!), but you can bet the manager spends the necessary time to choose each addition to his cellar :-) On the bill side, I would consider the pricing a bit high for classic dishes, but I've seen far worse.

I phoned to make a booking an requested a table at 8.30pm to be told they only had 9pm. When I said to forget it, the table at 8.30pm became available. When we arrived the room was lively although not all the tables were occupied...which made me wonder... I ordered the Terrine of pressed giuinea fowl. Although tasty, it broke down when I tried to cut it.The tuile was also overcooked to a brown color. My friend ordered the Foie gras which was lovely and well presented. As mains, I ordered the Pigeon with cabagge and bacon. The combination of flavours did not work for me, although the pigeon was perfectly pink I could not find any bacon bits at all. Service was prompt and professional but my whole food experience did not live to the good reviews I had seen or my expectations.

This was fine dining with impeccable service. Although the restaurant is in the basement it’s very airy and cool inside. I had the seared tuna to start which was served with delicious and perfect mild wasabi. Other starters ordered were oyster and prawn ravioli in seafood broth, others had goats cheese. All plates were left clean. For mains I went for the venison served with wild mushrooms and pumpkin gnocchi. This was very good indeed although some slices were slightly overcooked. My friends ordered pigeon (very good indeed, I tasted this one!) cod, halibut and beef. Herb spuds and green beans were also served. Again everyone was very happy with their meal and all plates were clean when collected. My desert was chocolate fondant and praline icecream, so divine, the fondant had the perfect crust on the outside with soft chocolate inside. Coffees and petit fours were then served. I’ve had better coffee. The wine list is pricey and we went for lower of this range with a delicious Italian Montepulciano d'Arbruzzo. Service charge is included in the bill which I never like as a practice but their service is so good anyhow. Very relaxed enjoyable evening.

(Guru) Credibility Score: 79% Visited: 16 Jan 2010 | Posted: over 2 months ago A group of 5 of us visited Dax after a Leinster game in the RDS and were treated to one of the best meals I have ever had in Dublin! We decided to go with the tapas dishes and had a selection of veal, mushroom risotto, crispy cod on a base of mash potato, suckling pig and scallops which were all fantastic. Afterwards we chose some cheese plates that had the best selection of cheeses imaginable. The service impeccable and I will definitely return and recommend to anyone looking for an amazing meal.

I was here earlier in the year also and it impressed both times! Amazing little place. The food is devine! I had the Guinea Fowl for starters and Cod for my main meal. Both were amazing! Can't speak highley enough of this restaurant. It is price though but worth the money if you can afford it. I'll be back! Joined Oct 08 7 Reviews 0 Hats Off! loading... MsMoneypenny (Foodie) Credibility Score: 40% Visited: 25 Nov 2009 | Posted: over 2 months ago Last Wednesday night myself and three friends went to Dax Restaurant to celebrate that after 5 years I was out of remission from cancer. I had previously dined in Dax Restaurant last year and had decided it would be a restaurant to return to for a special occasion. We were not disappointed the food while a bit pricey was superb and the steaks were cooked as requested the service excellent and the ambiance was very nice. The restaurant was full which we found surprising giving that it was a Wednesday night and we were delighted to find that the tables were set nicely apart from each other. The only fault I could find was the addition of a 12 and a half service charge to the bill given that we were a party of four (in most restaurants it generally applies to a party of six or more persons). We would gladly have given a tip as we had a lovely time but it would be nice to have the option. << First Page < Prev [Results 1 - 8 of 9] Next > Last Page >>
