    Superb food as always - the côte de boeuf never disappoints. Charming and attentive service, particularly from the bartender who was looking after us (we didn't catch his name but he had long hair and was lovely.)

    We had a lovely dining experience at the Butchers Grill. The service was excellent, welcoming and prompt and we never felt rushed. The steak was delicious, and we enjoyed all the sides too. It is a lovely restaurant which doesn't feel cramped due to a clever use of space. The only tiny criticism would be the music, which seemed to get louder at one stage. However, it didnt retract from a really great evening, food and staff excellent!

    Everything was superb!! We had the Cote de Beouf for 2 and it was cooked to perfection (medium rare). We had the broccoli with hazelnut dressing and mashed with bone marrow butter which was divine. Our waitress was so nice and attentive, that makes all the difference in the world 😊 I'm from Galway but I'll be back soon!

    Arrived at 7.10 for a 7pm booking and we were told at 8.50 just 1 hour 40mins later that we could not have dessert or coffees as they needed the table back. We paid well over €300 for this. Surprised to be disappointed this time as we are regulars and very fond of the restaurant. Butchers grill is not a fast food restaurant so might revisit its table turnover policy. It seems the restaurant is currently not able to provide, pre drinks, starter, main course, dessert and coffee in the time they have allocated. Hopefully this will be addressed before our next visit!!!

    As always, the food and dining experience at The Butcher Grill is second to none. Incredible food, perfect table and wonderful staff. My family were visiting from Canada and absolutely loved the dinner and restaurant as a whole. I have and will continue to recommend The Butcher Grill to family and friends.

    Here is the thing. Overpriced is the name of the game here. I do understand that this is Ranelagh however €150 + tip so €165 all together for the two ppl is just mad. I can name at least 4 other restaurants in Dublin that serves same if not better quality food and their pricing is at around €100 for two ppl with tip already included. All we had was one drink, one starter, main + side each Funny thing there was an extra line on the bill right under the TOTAL that I we supposed to pay with ''VAT'' on it and a random number of €15.48 scratched with the pen and 'THANK YOU' written beside it. Nice try although I did give you hefty 10% tip. Not sure for what though. I know ppl that go there weekly but I just cannot justify what you get with this price tag. Dublin has a lot more to offer with better value. Oh did I mention I have marked the occasion as B-day and there was nothing done to make it special in any shape of form which is funny now that I think about it. We don't spare money on food but like I said. You get better food with better value in other places.
