The restaurant is beautiful inside, but was incredibly overpriced for the value. I would describe all of the food plates as “small plates” meaning per person you would really need to order 2 each. We all left hungry and ended up going to McDonald’s. What we had was good, but just the value for what you get is not good. I think the server should have said the plates are small. I wouldn’t go again, I’ve found much better restaurants in Dublin.

Food is amazing never disappoints. The only feedback is that I booked outdoor seating assuming this was outside the front however it was upstairs which is covered so no sun lights gets in no difference to being inside. Other then that amazing

Very disappointing experience- 2 errors in bill one of which was an extra bottle of wine €48 - no apology. Also after being asked were we ordering more drinks and responding that we were finished we were told table was needed in 20 despite the fact that the upstairs was half empty .

Gorgeous food, drink and really friendly waiter. Although he seemed to be only waiter on our floor and while he was brilliant it was a bit unfair on him trying to manage the whole floor himself. Also (without sounding too old!) it was quite loud while trying to have a chat with your meal.

Tapas style dining with a good bar attached. Restaurant has a warehouse vibe done in a mid-century style that miraculously gives the impression of privacy while being open plan. Interesting spaces throughout the building, which you may miss as there are many Al fresco groups on that street. This is my second visit and I dined on their first floor. I've decided it's a must revisit when next in Dublin place. Buzzy and fresh, it's unfussy yet serves up beautifully cooked and presented dishes by quietly friendly efficient staff. Recommended.

Very impressed by the Drury Buildings. Food was amazing (the black truffle arancini and the best gambas I’ve ever had). Service was quick and our food came very quickly as did our wine. Really nice and colourful setting in the outside area in the back. We shared 6 dishes between two of us which was just perfect. Will definitely be returning soon to try some more small plates.
