Fade Street Social - The Restaurant

Really lively, great atmosphere, service especially in upstairs bar excellent. Food grand only, but still hugely enjoyed our visit.

Food was good but prob expected better for the price.

Wonderful food will definitely return!!

It was very busy so ended up waiting an hour for food. Ordered lamb but was given fillet steak and charged for it also. Heard from a friend it was nice but can’t really recommend it myself

Amazing. My mum and I visited on a busy Saturday night and we were so impressed. The food and the service was great. They had an amazing duck dish on special which we both had. Loved it.

Really expensive. I had the special duck €35 but it was far too undercooked so I had to send it back. The accompaniments were not nice. Dessert was literally just a bowl of melted Cadburys dairy milk. Very disappointing.

Best steak and great service

Staff were lovely. Service good. However our table for 2 was pushed underneath the bar.. it rocked and was supported by a lump of paper. Red wine was cold. Husbands food was overcooked and possibly had been round for a while. My fish was very salty. On complaint staff were great but we will not be rushing back.

Amazing food and service. Can't wait to back. We were super impressed. Thank you.

Very good as per usual - really good food and atmosphere

It was just ok. I was expecting more and had heard good things about it. Yes, it has a really nice bar upstairs, the cocktails are good and the wood-fired flat bread is delicious but thats about it. The mains were just ok. We had to ask twice for a few things, and we are not fussy people. I think it is probably good for a work night out or a birthday, it has that bust vibe, but there are so many better places to eat in Dublin. I won't be coming back soon.

Really nice place, very friendly and efficient staff, absolutely amazing food. Maybe a bit too crowded for my taste, very little space between the tables so a bit hard to have a private conversation. However, definitely would recommend and visit again

Food was incredible- could not fault it. Staff and service fantastic. Totally recommend!!

We had a great lunch with amazing service where every detail was taken in consideration. The food was delicious, an amazing experience for the taste.

Tables too close together.
Not enough room for staff to pass by our table with resultant hitting against us.
Food was lovely but lukewarm by time it got to us.
Staff were friendly and efficient but there wasn't one designated person looking after us which meant lengthy wait for dessert menu and paying.
We were looking forward to eating here given it's profile but we were decidedly underwhelmed. We would not recommend it to others.

The food was not good and overpriced. Pretentious food, the cauliflower soup had two disks of salmon in it and a piece of brocolli. The flavours didnt work well. The parmesan sauce was overpowering with the cod, the cod was swimming in this sauce. We didnt stay for desert...

Really good and tasty food. The meat is great and the sideorders are really good too. The atmosphere is very welcoming although it's a bit noisy.

Grand, decent meal.

The restaurant is a nice spot in the middle of the city.

We had booked the table for 4 people and they gave us two individual table which they have a difference high between esch table of 3-5 cm, therefore we had some difficulties for sharing some dishes because of that.

We tried to change the table but they did not have another table for us.

We order a woodfure foccacia, which was very good and taste and then a meat for sharing but we had to wait dor between starter and main course more than 40 minutes, one side of cube potatoes and bacon come cold.


The waitress never offer coffee or a liquor after the dessert and gave the bills

Low experience for the price paid.

Amazing people were super nice they even gave us some complementary sides.

Very busy and service quite slow and a bit all over the place.

Have eaten here many times and food not as good as it used to be: duck liver starter a real let down with no subtlety of flavor or creativity. Fillet beef was ok but not amazing for €36...a bit dry overall.

A bit disappointed overall - usually top notch but they’ve removed some great stuff from the menu

Not so good, the meat was obviously bad and the waitress said she was going to ask what she could do, after the third time asking for the bill we left as fast as we could, will not go back unfortunately

The most delicious food and friendly staff .. Super quick service .. The flat bread pizza is incredible ..

Warm and spacious restaurant. Staff were very accommodating and food was very tasty. Little over priced for what you get but still tasty nonw the less. The upstairs bar is certainly worth a visit. Very nice cocktails with great music and ambience.

Not a good dining experience I'm afraid. The food was ok - not great but not completely horrible. the wine was good but very expensive if you wanted anything decent. the staff were the only good thing about the restaurant - they were friendly and helpful. It was noisy, uncomfortable and I didn't like the ambience one bit. I felt like I was in a large barn and having dinner with the people beside me.

The overpriced place, but still very busy at evenings. The food is good, but not amazing as in others Dylan McGrath’s restaurants. I was impressed by a cocktail menu, it’s huge and nice.

Our family celebrated our sons 18th birthday in Fade Street Social. Many options and ways of dining to choose from. Food was excellent but also different and creative. Sides were a pleasure to share. Lovely touch with a small special cake and plate for the birthday boy. Cheese plate was generous and great selection. Worth the price, one doesn’t go there for cheap and 😄

Quality and preparation and service is excellent. Unfortunately on this occasion the dinner plates were cold .... chateaubriand was served in a copper pan....not very warm at point of service and meat was very cold by the time we got to the final slices. We have enjoyed the chateaubriand here on a number of occasions and have not encountered this problem. Overall we enjoyed our dining experience and will return again.

Espacio muy pequeño, prácticamente los camareros no tienen espacio para pasar entre las mesas y a veces te golpean. Mesas demasiado juntas unas con otras. Tardaron muchísimo en servir el plato principal. Esperaba más del restaurante.

We've been here several times before but this time was a bit disappointing. The food has always been out of this world but on this occasion we both got the pork belly and the denver roll. I got the croquettes and my partner got chips. Everything that came out was tepid/warm instead of hot. The food defiantly wasn't as nice as last time.
Also during our meal one of the chefs starting swearing really loudly at someone else in the kitchen about a backpack? It really ruined the atmosphere and the whole restaurant stopped and stared but he kept going.
All the rest of the staff including our servers were really lovely though.
Overall we spent nearly €200 (including tip) on a meal for two which for what we received was quite a let down. As I said we've been here many times before but we both agreed we would try somewhere else next time we're in Dublin/

I was recommended this restaurant by a couple I met on a tour in Dublin and I couldn't be more happy with the recommendation. The food was fresh, delicious and the staff was top notch. Go!

Great cocktails menu and delicious food! Really lovely setting and good music. Only criticism is the menu could be bigger.

All around delicious food, great service and good atmosphere. Another group table was very loud which made it a bit hard to have a conversation, but the staff did their best to calm them down. Would recomend!

Castro Pub always excellent, care required when booking online as typically you will end up in the main restaurant area rather than the tapas bar..

Fantastic dishes full of flavour - generous chunks of meat in the Irish stews. Service a tad slow but worth the wait. Quite tightly packed and a busy energetic atmosphere.

Absolutely loved everything about this place. From the genuine, friendly staff to the amazing food. Fantastic atmosphere as well.

Lovely place, starter was lovely (flat bread pizza), main courses were a bit disappointing for us, sliced meat meant it cooled very quickly and had high expectations which didn't quite hit. Desert was ok but we ordered something were talked into taking rather than what we actually wanted to start with, should have went with original order so that one is on us!

The food was superior and subtly seasoned allowing the beauty of the local ingredients to shine through. The service was good, a little slow to get our check, odd as there is "strict 2 hour seating time". But honestly that was the only issue we had and then, only because my husband was wanting to get on with our evening. Highly recommend.

The main course is overpriced. 100 g of lamb for over 30 pounds. London is cheaper. The restaurant area is soulless

Service was forced given us the feeling we should leave ASAP
Given that we spent almost 500 euro this left us with a feeling that it was more important for them to sell the table one more time
