    Always delicious, steak besutifully cooked, v tasty asparagus & a delightful waitress. Music could be turned down a notch, that's the one and only point I can raise.

    Dropped by on Saturday night for a bite to eat with my wife. It had been a couple of years since our last visit, and the place looked fantastic with its recent upgrades. The highlight was definitely the restaurant-quality food and service in the bar. The staff were lovely and attentive without being intrusive – very well trained. The bill at the end of the night was surprisingly low. We easily picked up a taxi outside and will definitely be back.

    Nice, middle range food and service. Enjoyable Service was very (too) fast at first but then slowed down (too) a bit - middle ground would be good
    Purty KitchenResponded on 29 April 2025
    Hi Kate, I'm really sorry to hear that our service didn’t meet your expectations on this occasion. We always strive to ensure our guests have a great experience, and it’s disappointing to know we fell short. As you’ll see from our other reviews, we take pride in consistently delivering a high standard of service — and I truly hope you’ll give us the opportunity to make it up to you on a future visit. Best regards, Emer and The Purty Team!

    Always love it down in the Purty - we were in the outside area which was very quiet and suited us on this occasion. There were blankets and heaters so they know how to look after their customers. Agusto was really friendly and was very kind to my mother so it made the meal so much easier.
    Purty KitchenResponded on 29 April 2025
    Hi Andy, Thank you so much for your kind message — it really means a lot to us. I absolutely love hearing how our team members make our guests feel, and Augusto is definitely one of the special ones! I’ve passed your lovely comments on to him, and he mentioned how nice your mum was and how much fun he had with her. Thank you again, Emer, Augusto & The Purty Team

    Has been really good last few years but new menu poor, only 1 vegetarian dish, and pricey (€27 for a fairly small portion chicken dish), overall disappointed with what was a good spot to eat
    Purty KitchenResponded on 29 April 2025
    Hi Thomas, Thank you for your feedback — we truly appreciate it. We recently updated the menu, and the Vegan Burger was removed due to low demand. We're reviewing it and other changes. As for the chicken dish, the portion size hasn’t changed, only the plating style. I understand your concerns, and we know change can be tough. We’ve been balancing feedback about menu variety, and we’re planning to rotate favourites more regularly. I hope you’ll give us another chance. Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like to book and come say hi. Best regards, Emer and The Purty Team.
