    Great food and brilliant atmosphere. Unbelievable marg!! To be really picky would have loved another desert option and more vegan options for one of the people dining with us. Other than that it was excellent and I will definitely be back!!

    At first glance we thought - hmm not many options to choose from last Sunday evening... There was a chicken and leek pie for two, pork belly, or roast aubergine on the menu. My friend and I both ordered the aubergine. It was outstandingly good - served with miso, hazlenuts and a trio of fantastic sides. We'll definitely be back for another Sunday roast, and hopefully get to try the weekday menus too.

    Great venue to enjoy Saturday nite dinner with a difference, whether date nite or group of friends. My partner had the steak and was not disappointed. Great selection of cocktails and drinks. Positive energy in the room and plus you can stay on afterwards for drinks and great music vibes. Go check it out.

    Service was pretty terrible. Had to ask repeatedly for items we had ordered, both drinks and food (waited more than an hour for one dish, which they kindly offered not to charge for). It’s a limited menu and they were also out of one of the options It’s a cool place and have had good experiences at lunch but wouldn’t go back for dinner again.

    A pleasant dining experience was diminished by excessively loud music. It was turned up when we started eating and proved impossible to chat. It was turned down temporarily when we asked but shortly afterwards was turned up again to an even higher level. It is a pity as the venue was interesting and both the service and food were good.

    The staff could be a bit more attentive. It took ages for someone to come and take our order, we constantly had lots of empty glasses at our table and had to ask for more water twice throughout as no one came to replace the empty bottles. The food was very slow to come out, which would have been fine if we didn't have to ask the staff to take drinks orders when we had been sitting there for quite a while with just empty plates and glasses infront of us. I can understand if a place is really busy and understaffed but, on this occasion most staff walked by and never came near the empty plates, were standing around not doing much so we didn't get the impression that being too busy was the reason for this. Such a pity because the food was quite good and the staff were friendly but just created an uncomfortable dining experience.

    Food was fantastic in terms of quality but the price for the tiny portion sizes was outrageous. I’ve never been ripped off more in my life. €20 for the tiniest amount of crab meat and mini slices of bread. I could have raised a crab, educated them and paid for their tiny crab wedding for less. Jesus lads come on

    It took 1.5 hours for our main courses to come to the table. I asked for the music to be turned down and they did, but shortly turned it back up. When the mains eventually came out the cod was dried up, like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The rest of the food was good, but it took too long. The staff were nice and apologetic. Also the mains are very expensive as you have to order the main and a side to get a full plate.

    Hen's TeethResponded on 3 October 2022Hello Amy, Thank you for your recent visit to Hen's Teeth. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Sorry to hear it wasn't to your liking. 1.5 hours is certainly off the pace and we will review service from that day! I have passed your feedback regarding the cod back to the kitchen. Kev and his team produce amazing food and will be disappointed to hear this wasn't to their standard. Please ask for me directly if you ever feel you would like to return. all the best, David

    Food was delicious. There was an album launch so it was loud, but no idea if it’s always like that. Staff are nice, but seem stretched too thin, very difficult to get service after placing initial orders. Will definitely go back, but not if I have somewhere else to be after.
