   The food was fabulous.My mam is a picky eater and they were able to adapt her meal to ensure she was happy with her food. The wait staff went above and beyond. They overheard us cheersing to a happy birthday and they checked with us subtly who's birthday it was. My dad's desert came out with happy birthday written on the plate, a candle and they sang happy Birthday. The attention to detail was fantastic. It really made the evening special.

   Have not eaten in the Green Hen for a while but met up with friends there for lunch on Monday. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant has a warm and relaxing ambience and I will certainly be back again soon.

   The food was excellent but we were very rushed from the very start. Managed to stay 1.5 hours despite the servers best efforts to rush us even more. At that point we were moved with our drinks to sit at the bar beside the door where it was bitterly cold when the door was opened. This rushing people out ruins the experience and means my friends and I won’t be rushing back. A pity, because the food is good.

   Great food, but either prices have shot up or it’s just a tad overpriced. I’ve similar quality in less expensive places in the same area.

    I absolutely love the Green Hen at this time of year and often go in at lunchtime on my own when Christmas shopping as it is such a comforting, Christmassy place. Recommended it to my friend for dinner so we went on a Friday night. Staff were lovely, however we felt terrible when we were asking the waitress why on earth we couldn't have tap water and had to pay 4euro for "filtered" water and she got a bit flustered and didn't really want to ask for tap water. I feel it's not a good reflection on management if staff are that anxious over something like that! Also have never come across a charge like this, even in exclusive restaurants - have never been refused tap water! Definitely feel this should be reviewed - increase the charge on to the food even, if absolutely necessary, but this just caused hassle for us and waitress with explaining it etc. Food was PHENOMENAL. I am still dreaming of the venison, it really was spectacular. Our waiter, as someone else said, was pretty extra!! He was also visibly disappointed we hadn't left a tip on top of the 12.5% charge which we weren't actually expecting and was put on automatically to our table of 2. Again as others have said, would have quite happily tipped between 10% and 15% anyway, depending on service, and felt it was not a nice thing to see on the bill. All told though, I still love the place and will definitely be back. I think the water and service charge are management decisions that should be revisited by management but the place, food and staff are excellent.

    Very good food with relaxed attentive service. An enjoyable evening but 12.5 % service charge automatically added to a party of 4 left a slightly bad taste.

    Myself and my friend haven't been to the green hen for some time so we decided to have a long overdue lunch there last week. What a great decision it was. From the minute we walked in it was a lovely experience. The lunch menu, though quite short provided plenty of choice. I can vouch for the vegetarian options which to my delight were excellent. A welcome departure from the dreaded goats cheese salad and risotto offerings that appear as vegetarian options in Dublin with monotonous regularity . The service was friendly and efficient and for us lager drinkers the bar was well stocked with a variety of draught beers. The 3 course lunch was a steal at €32. Alas I don't often say this when writing a review but I will definitely be making s return visit to the green hen.

    Food was really good and service was outstanding. We felt the music was too loud for a restaurant with such a quality menu and good name - felt more like a party place than quality dining. Overall good experience though!

    Party of 4 afternoon. Generally all thought the food was delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive - but a drinks order for wine for dinner was partially forgotten and 1 diner almost ended her meal before the wine arrived. Starters and Mains were absolutely first class and very good value. Cheesecake was a little dry but the other 3 desserts were reported as "delicious" "aw yum" and "mmmm". Compulsory 12.5% service charge would match the tip I was going to leave anyway. It's a fine setting and recommended.

    New Years Eve and it was very busy. We were seated and found our table really comfy, however some tables did look a bit shoe horned in. Great choice of food and served in good time, we were not rushed in any way. Food was hot and fresh, no complaints at all. There is still the need to pay extra for sides, but this is advertised and we were happy to leave a Tip, as the service charge was not added as expected (+12.5%) One little moan 4euro for tap water (filtered apparently) is a bit much Overall we will be back without hesitation

    I’ve been to the Green Hen a number of times but we had dinner with family there on NYE and it was outstanding! The staff as always are incredible, so friendly and helpful especially as I’m coeliac and they were very knowledgeable and assuring. Stunning food, lovely cocktails and wine and a lovely atmosphere. The Green Hen remains my Go to place!

    Staff was self involved cracking jokes among themselves, we found that a bit inconsiderate. We were waited on by 4 different people. Each of them friendly, though. Vegetarian option too limited.

    The Green Hen were able to host our table of 8 people, we had to 1 cancellation and they didn’t make an issue of this change. The ambiance was chic, nice atmosphere. Service was French, charming and good rapport with our table. Food was enjoyable and wine was good choices. I’d recommend to friends. Tables quite close so the conversations could be overheard if sensitive. Not an issue for us though. Overall “Tres bien”

    Lovely restaurant. Our waiter was very friendly and our drinks, starters and dessert was delicious. I had the ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection but unfortunately a quite tough cut of meat. The duck main was very tasty but a smaller portion size (for a hungry man). The cauliflower soup and pate to start were exceptionally good! And the pineapple mojito was delish.

    We had an enjoyable post Christmas lunch. Halloumi starter is particularly tasty. Steak and venison mains were good. My hake was overdone but the dish had a good balance of flavours. Service charge of 12.5% and a per head charge for tap water added to the bill.

    Table was booked for 18:30; the group arrived and sat at 18:43; between 18:30 and 18:40, I got a text and a phone call to know where we were and I confirmed on the way. There were other free tables when the group arrived / with no other people waiting for tables. The bill was delivered to the table without asking for. After wine and 4 steaks the group left at 8:10. It was like the 90min Covid time pressure again. Food was v good. All at the table have been many times before but this all felt v v rushed for everyone.

    Amazing fine dining, portions were perfect for us with emphasis on quality over quantity - we were nicely full but it tasted so good it left our mouths wanting more! I was treating my mum and my daughter before the panto. Christoph looked after us with the most attentive service. All the staff were lovely and the food was amazing, it was the finest meal we've had in ages. We all like our food and have high standards, we were highly impressed and will definitely be back.

    We felt we were scammed. We booked a table at 12.30pm for lunch based on the Christmas lunch menus on their website. Christmas lunch was €40 per head. On arrival we were given the dinner menu at €60 per person. We queried this and were told there was no lunch menu just the dinner one. We were charged extra for sides until we queried this and then they were taken off our bill. Overall, it left a bad taste. We won’t be returning.
