As you know “Dobbins” has been going for over 25 years now but alas gone with the old and in with the “New Dobbins”. The interior has changed but the ambiance and character still remains, our food, service and wine list is as good as ever, and are still an integral part of the restaurant with a wonderful new series of exciting menus. In the refurbishment we have created a new Private Dining Room which is also available for small meetings and ideal for small wedding events. In our design of the newly refurbished Dobbins Restaurant we hope we have created an exciting interior concept as you step inside to our Fully stocked bar. There is a garden area at the back of the Restaurant and we have used a lot of care and attention to create and retain the style and ambiance that Dobbins is renowned for.

This is what a bad experience in a restaurant can do. I was finally persuaded to go there for Sunday lunch in June and I was very pleasantly surprised. The food and service were excellent. Risotto for starter and Rump of lamb for mains. Both dishes perfectly cooked and the other members of the party (6) were equally impressed. Service was also excellent. Friendly without being in your face. Value was also very good at €25 for Sunday lunch. Will certainly return. The only downside was that we were seated in the conservatory and as it was a sunny day it got very warm. Whilst they do have air conditioning, we had to ask for it to be switched on and when it was, it fought a losing battle against the heat.

Once for Sunday Lunch(€25) very reasonable and then for dinner one evening also. This is how a Dublin Restaurant should be. Experienced Staff with full knowledge of the menu and the wine. Asked for A Medium Steak and it was cooked to perfection accompanied by chunky chips. Plenty of Fish on the Menu and the Assiette of Seafood Starter is so tasty and perfectly presented. All the food is presented immaculately. The waiting staff are attentive without being patronising or intrusive. Weill be making a lot more visits to this restaurant '); //--> Joined Jul 08 17 Reviews 0 Hats Off! loading... fishfinnx (Connoisseur) Credibility Score: 57% Visited: 23 Jun 2010 | Posted: 3 Weeks ago Was here for the early bird on a wed eve and loved it, the smoked fish starter was fab and the lamb was one of the best ive ever tasted. for 27.5 including tip its such great value, cant wait to come back next time. Wine menu is expensive but i suppose thats because the resturant prices outside early bird are quite dear.

Have been three times before over the years and each time has been better than the last. With the early bird menu it was definitely less pricey than previously but the food and atmosphere every bit as good. I'd mentioned the 18th when I made the reservation and when deserts arrived there was a personalised happy birthday message written in chocolate on the sticky toffee pudding plate along with a candle - his embarassment made the night! According to the birthday boy the desert was "immense". All the food was fabulous and would definitely recommend the Tempura of Dublin Bay Prawns which my husband, had as we were all sorry we didn't order it and had to have a taste. There was a small supplement for these but WELL WORTH IT! Steak was melt in the mouth and with the buzzy atmosphere it felt like 9pm on a Saturday night instead of 6.30pm. We'll DEFINITELY be back - and soon!

Went here for the 1st time for lunch. Service was extremely quick and very friendly. Food was really really good. Perfect sizes and very tasty. Not sure how many people want/can eat a four course meal during their lunch break so maybe reduce the price and number of courses? I was lucky on this visit as I wasn't paying! All in all a lovely lunch and will definitely try and get back. Joined Jan 09 3 Reviews 0 Hats Off! loading...

Ok the food is simple but its also very good and reliable. Great wine list as well. The duck is great value and just the way I like duck, roasted old style and no messing. << First Page < Prev [Results 1 - 8 of 41] Next > Last Page >>
