Great food and service. unfortunately the owners have decided that they are going to add the 10% SC to groups of 4. I've never experienced this before and will not be supporting that again. It's always added for groups of 6+. They are in a tough market in Dublin and won't survive long with those kind of decision making.

A beautiful ambience from start to finish. Our waitress was so attentive and made sure we were all comfortable. Although our party size had dwindled due to traffic issues, she kindly reorganised our table without a fuss, and as I was quite early, she got me a drink straight away. I love that the menu caters for everyone from meat eaters to vegan, and each dish is bursting with flavour. The servers were all very helpful throughout, providing us with menus, explaining what was involved in the dishes or drinks, everything was simply beautiful with high attention to detail and excellent customer service. Cannot say enough about this place, and will certainly be using the voucher to try out your new branch in Ranelagh! Thank you again for helping make my send off from Ireland so special in every way. A wonderful evening.

It’s always nice to go to a restaurant as a Coeliac and not lose anything in the experience! Most of the menu is gluten free— even half the desserts! I highly recommend for outdoor dining, as they’ll put down the shade and turn on the heat just for you so that you can feel like you’re dining indoors with a much lower risk of getting Covid.

I invited a couple of friends to come to this place yesterday. The experience was very poor, we needed to send our plates of food back because they were inedible and, we waited more than 20 min to get a bottle of wine (the wrong one). In the end the waitress was very nice with us and we didn't pay for the wine and the service charge. The starters were ok though.

We really enjoyed our dinner at BH. The service was great and the food was fresh, creative and tasty. The noise inside was quite loud and as we were hosting guests from out of town, they did their best to find us a spot that was the least noisy. We ended up outside, which thankfully was quiet (with the occasional lua) and not crazy cold.

The food was served too quickly. I had only sipped my cocktail when the starter arrived and a minute later the main course. The lamb was cooked pink to perfection but its quality was one of the worst I’ve ever had - very greasy and full of strings

Pros: Lebanese-style Chicken Wings was delicious and it had a different taste in comparison to other chicken wings we had tried; and it has delicious side sauce but the salad wasn't good at all + Chicken Fatteh was really good and different; especially because of its sauce + Beef Koftas was good + Lamb Cutlets is kind of steak and was tasty but fatty + Seasonal Hummus was different and tasty; the bread was scarce + Bohemian Lager beer was really really good + Le Petit Gascoun wine was great + Nice staff + Beautiful interior space especially the lighting + there wasn't a time restriction for using the table Cons: Shirazi Salad is not really like the Persian Shirazi Salad; totally different + Price is a bit high + One of the wine glasses wasn't clean and there was a dried wine stain on it + Know that a discretionary 10% service charge is applied to tables of 4+

We absolutely loved our breakfast here. Only wish it hadn't been our last day, and that we'd been in Dublin on a day they were open for dinner. Will definitely be back on my next trip! The food was delicious, such amazing flavours. And the table of pastries was completely drool worthy.

We had a very good experience at Brother Hubbard. The food was really good, the staff were very friendly and it is spacious, with high ceilings. It is quite loud, but that may not matter to most as there is a good ambiance. They allowed us to stay at the table for a long time, no rushing us for the next sitting, which is different from many brunch places in Dublin and was really appreciated by us. I will definitely be going back.

The food was unbelievably delicious! However we had a scare with a waiter mistakenly telling us a food item was free of a food I am highly allergic to. Only because I didn't fully believe him I waited 10 minutes or so but I actually had the food held up on the way to my mouth by the time the manager came over and asked me not to eat it. It gave me a really big fright and took away from the enjoyment of the evening. They also had really intense heaters focused directly on us and we were really uncomfortable with the heat until we had to ask them to switch them off. However, the food was so delicious I would 100% go back and do hope that these are issues that would get ironed out.

The space is very nice, the decoration was great and all the staff was super friendly. We went for Brunch and we ordered Eggs(Arabian style) and French toast, everything was tasty, but the French toast was more like a sponge cake, it wasn't juicy. It was tasty but obviously a bit disappointing if you're expecting a "traditional" French toast.
