Fade Street Social - The Restaurant

Fab, food was delicious. Friendly staff. Def be back.

Quality of food below par. Not representative of the cost.

Had previously visited the Gastro pub next door. Didn’t realise it was multiple restaurants under one roof. Second visit to the establishment, definitely preferred the Gastro pub tapas menu. Food was nice, but wasn’t well seasoned. Had to add salt ourselves. Waitress was lovey and attentive. I would class the food as very “cheffy” lots of foams and presented very well. Looked nice, lacking punch! We are booked to return tomorrow to the gastropub. Probably won’t come back for the restaurant.

Friendly staff, good service but horribly let down by the food. The menu is over-complicated, over priced and just didn't deliver.

Definitely recommend. Good cooking, imaginative menu and enough portion wise

Food was great as usual. Service fantastic.

Food was terrible. Way over priced. Would not recommend at all. AVOID

Hi,

I’m a regular at fade st. I always book through the OpenTable app.
I booked a table for valentines eve having read that there would be 2 menus available in two different price ranges.
Last night I was offered just one menu.
I am disappointed that you did this and had I known in advance it would have affected my restaurant choice.
Could you please address this? It feels like false advertising.

Sincerely,

Diarmaid

Food was delicious and well presented, great atmosphere and passionate staff

Well informed table staff- great food and variety on menu - consistently good!

Steak was delicious but sides were only lukewarm. Drinks were quite slow in coming to the table. Overall disappointing as it was a 60th birthday and felt we didn't get the food or service you'd expect for such a expensive restaurant.

Was quite dissappointing based on my last visit. The Cocktail Bar was very enjoyable and staff there very friendly. When we were brought to our table we ordered 2 glasses of wine which we duly received. By the time our main courses arrived we had finished our wine and ordered 2 more glasses. We were over half way through our dishes and the wine had still not arrived. We called a member of staff who went to check and then told us the order had not being submitted. It was my wife's birthday so was a special night and have to say I was very disappointed with Fade Street as this and the fact that both of us thought that the food was not as good as our previous visit. So all in all not a positive visit for either us.

Happy to recommend,will definitely be back.

Sadly very poor quality food

We loved our experience at Fade Street Social Restaurant. The food was outstanding as well as the service. We will definitely visit again, next time we will try the Tapas bar which looked fab and with a great atmosphere.

Too busy. They have not accommodated for numbers. Table not ready at 21.00. Asked to go for drink while waiting, no seats available at bar. Then brought to restaurant area to wait again for table. 35 mins delay in table overall between waiting for our name to be taken, waiting in bar, waiting in restaurant. 22.20 by the time any food was served. Food very good!

Really tasty food and great quality, we have a set menu and was a good choice of food. Fish(Cod) and steak was so delicious, desserts was absolutely amazing. Service was really professional, weiters was nice and helpful. High recommend

This is a well known restaurant, but it does not live up to its hype. The menu is attempting to be gastro chic but falls short, even if the prices don’t. It’s also one of the nosiest restaurants i’ve experienced. The brick walls and high ceilings bounce sounds around so much you can barely hear those at your table. I won’t go back.

Thought it was expensive for what it was. Got scallop starter and was basically mash with deep fried scollaps and holandaise not much skill required for a €15 starter!

Steak was nice but overpriced and didn’t like to room was very much like a canteen ! Wouldn’t return

Terrible experience. We ate early but got no attention as service team were more concerned about their own things. Food was forgotten, cold. Took 3 hours for starter/main course although we were in at 6 with only a handful of other tables in for dinner. Wine service was non existent. We gave up on dessert as could not get any servers attention. Took the left overs to go which was presented in a lovely dunnes stores bag. Had to get up to get the bill paid as again no one cared at all. Not acceptable for a 300e meal even though there were more staff to guests in the restaurant.

The food is absolutely delicious, but the electro music in the restaurant is awful and has completely messed up my diner. I could barely hear and talk to the person I was eating with. Regarding this type of restaurant I was expecting a nice and cosy atmosphere and not feel like I am eating in a Pub.

Really enjoyed our pre-theatre 2 hour slot in the restaurant. Food was very good, service really good and general atmosphere and ambiance was excellent. Definitely recommending it and will be back soon. Pricey though!

Started our NYE here. Fantastic drinks at the bar (highly recommend the “riot squad” cocktail if you like your rum). This was followed by delicious food in he restaurant. The truffle mushroom ravioli was exceptional and my fillet steak was cooked nicely. It’s a little on the expensive side but totally worth it. The tables are close together and the atmosphere is on the loud side but we didn’t mind that. Can understand why it might be perceived as too loud for others. Highly recommend!

From the moment, we walked into the restaurant, we were warmly welcomed by lovely hostesses who were quick to show us to our table. The waiters were quick to take our order and were very helpful as regards to picking out the right wine and food for what we had in mind. Overall, a lovely service with a tasting menu - would definitely return!
However, one - and the only downside would be the noise level. It gets very loud in there, when the place is full, which it happens to be a lot.

Pork belly was terrible, 90% fat, I couldn't eat it. Mentioned it to waitress and she said thats how people normally have it. I regularly choose pork belly, and it is fatty but this was a whole new level. Steak on board was only ok, much too expensive for what you actually get. Mash was disgusting. Mushroom starter nice. Was there to celebrate a birthday, plate with cookie & ice cream was a nice touch. Staff were excellent. Glad I went but won't return.

Everything from the drinks, food, service, and atmosphere were absolutely fantastic! Rather pricey, but I say you get what you pay for. Superb!

Good Restaurant, however the meat options are better for a group. Had a lamb and my partner the duck and they both were really well made. Good service and ambiance, with a modern look. I would recommend to friends .

Overall good experience but felt the service in our table was rushed

I was really looking forward to visiting Fade Street Social but was disappointed with our experience. Our server was friendly & effecient but the tables were very close together, the restaurant was busy & incredibly noisy, the food was average at best & hugely overpriced for what we got...style over substance...we will not be returning.

No dressing on the salad, the steak was chewy. The staff was very friendly. Good wine.

Great food & service. Will definitely be back.

Service and food was great but very crowded and uncomfortably loud.
Couldnt hear waitress at times or ourselves!!

Our first choice of rib eye wasn't available as they had to cook it for four and we were two? Hello could they not cut it in half? They served us a different wine to what we ordered as our choice wasn't available but didn't tell us? Food was gorgeous especially desert

Food was excellent as it always is. Tends to be our restaurant of choice when in Dublin. But this time a little underwhelming.
No usual specials although a duck dish was listed on board.
I found the value for money poor for the portion size. 14 euro for 2 scallops on mash as a starter.
Restaurant was incredibly noisy and servers were over burdened. It was probably the tone of year.

Great fun place - superb service and really really good steaks

I had the duck which was amazing, however my partner had the sirloin steak and it was less than average. He was left very hungry and disappointed. The staff were lovely however we weee forgotten about a lot. Not great for the price we paid for our meal.

Below average food with poor service

Good atmosphere, amazing food. Bright a date over and we had an amazing time with the friendly staff and delicious meal

Way too loud, impossible to converse, same last time I was there.
Food overpriced.
