    We booked and drove an hour to get there, but when we arrived, they said it was closed, and there was a problem with the OpenTable service. Honestly, we were excited to taste and enjoy the place, but this issue disappointed our interest. We do not know if we can trust in booking the place anymore.

    We received a very warm welcome off Paul. We had beautiful food. So tasty and cooked fresh in a kitchen we could see from The table. The service was excellent. We were offered drinks regularly and plenty of water. The menu was explained and we were made aware of the special of the day. A lovely bistro, and we were very lucky, to have a window table.

    Spectacular cooking by a spectacular chef. The restaurant was very busy so booking a table is best This is not the first time we ate Peter Clifford’s food and won’t be the last. This is some of the best food in Dublin at a good price.

    Very noisy pub with open doorway to restaurant. Two courses for for fifty euro with a choice of 5 starters/ mains. Choice of 3 desserts. For that price you don't expect to have to buy sides but only the lamb/steak included a side (and those choices had a supplement and could only be ordered for 2 people|). The food was ok, nothing fantastic, all in all way too expensive and wouldn't return. If only 2 people dining the choice is very limited as steak or lamb is for two people.

    While the food is not cheap (neither is anywhere else of its calibre) it is good value for such excellent cuisine. The chef is very accomplished without being over-fussy. The service is attentive and friendly without being overdone. And, as is well known, Irishmen should NEVER eat on an empty stomach it's great to be able to have a pint in McGettingans bar in the same building. Would I recommend it to a friend? I already have.

    We rally enjoyed our meal here. The quality and presentation of the food was very good and our server was a very pleasant man. Downsides were it was a bit noisy with a large group seated opposite us . Also there was no list of digestifs. Prices have risen recently but it is still well priced.

    Olives & Figs is a surprisingly great restaurant. In fact it is the best restaurant North of the Four Courts in Dublin. Cooking up a storm in the kitchen is Peter, who know his Sirloin and his Caviar, having sharpened his knives and his skills at Patrick of the Guilbaud. Front of house is Gemma, who knows her Chateaux Margaux, Dom Prignon and her Krug having spoiled many First Class VIPs on Emirates. No more to be said or written. Bon Appetit.

    From the moment we walked in the door, we felt so welcomed by the host and server who are incredibly warm. It was like walking into their home. The menu is a delight for the senses with much creativity and wonderful flavors. We left feeling so happy, relaxed and the right amount of full! So happy to have found this restaurant! Can't wait to return to Dublin to enjoy a meal and visit the kind folks at Olive&Figs again.

    The restaurant offers a delicious bistro menu, with well-balanced flavours. The duck came slightly over cooked, however the staff at Olives&Figs rectify immediately by preparing a fresh serving and adding a complementary side dish and even comping it in the bill. Exceptional service and attentiveness. Staff’s genuine apology made me feel valued as a customer. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. I highly recommend it.

The staff are fantastic, the best costumer service we have had in a long time. The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. We had a fantastic evening, a big thank you to all the staff.

    We booked a table for 5 last Friday night and enjoyed every moment The food was excellent, with lovely staff. We felt well looked after and nothing was a problem. The treat of a delicious amuse bouche… on the house… started the evening off very well. Food arrived in great time. To cap it off we listened to a truly amazing singer in the bar afterwards We will definitely be back.
