    Really disappointing dinner here. We waited 1hr 40 minutes to receive our main courses - they clearly had forgotten about our order. Food wasn’t cooked as requested. Wouldn’t recommend and will not be going back.

    Enjoyed the food and the polite, friendly service. The only small point would be a bit more attention between courses. We were left waiting between been given the dessert menu and had to get the attention of the staff to place our order. Very good experience. We’ll be back.

    First time to visit Bovinity. Hadn’t heard of it before. Found it through OpenTable and got a booking on Paddy’s night. Ambience is good. It’s relaxed. Music is good. Food was excellent and timing of delivery was on point. Staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend and will return for sure. Sharing steaks and sides are good value.

    First time here and we loved it! Great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff and the food was amazing. Our steak was cooked to perfection and the sauces and sides were delicious. The Prosecco was really nice. Loved the decor but I’m not a fan of the tiled exterior. It looks old fashioned and cheap and doesn’t convey how stylish the interior is.

    Everything was good. The food was tasty the inside was nice and clean, the service was good and the staff was nice. We were greeted and seated right away when we entered. The menu was then explained too. There was a delay with one of our starters which was understandable and that they were very apologetic. In the end, we were treated well, and we did enjoy dining in.

    La comida es buena, precio & calidad algo excesivo, es cierto que de donde venimos el listón está alto, el ambiente es de 9 de 10 cuando estuvimos, el personal de 10, muy atentos, amables sin llegar a ser pesados. Repetiremos si volvemos a Dublín.

    Both myself and my partner have been living in Dublin for 6 years so we’ve done our fair share of dining in different restaurants. We both that Bovinity was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We had a shared starter, a main each with two sides to share and split a desert - we couldn’t pick which part of the meal was the best. The food was insanely good, the staff were so lovely and friendly, the restaurant design was so cool and different. We also couldn’t believe the bill when we got it, it was such great value. We loved every second and will definitely be back.

    Good food and wine, it took a while to get the servers attention which meant our dinning experience was stretched out to over 2 hours. Usually not a problem but the metal stools they have (only dining area available and seems to be half the restaurant) where quite uncomfortable.
