   Cold, starter was overpriced and bland, service very slow despite and while they acknowledged our opinion nothing was knocked off bill, not what I’d expect for 120€

   Beautiful location and setting, food and wine was excellent, a little short on options for the coeliac in the group but lovely meal.

   Menu was a bit limited, especially for vegetarians. The vegetarian starter and main course both had the same flavours. Menu on the website was different from the menu on the day.

   I booked a table for dinner. Food was delicious (had the hand-smoked haddock and a desert) and service was impeccable. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Dublin.

   Food was good but felt starter priced at 16 e a bit pricy the main was good but not very substanial extra veg or mash would have been good , wine nice and restaurant decor good other than seats which i found uncomfortable hard to comment on ambience as no one else there til much later felt safe but lacking atmosphere hard in covid times i guess in terms of value and overall experience i couldnt recomend a second visit i had brought a friend as a treat but it didnt feel like that

    Really glad we went to the Winding Stair for dinner. Everything from the Dingle Bay crab starter, to the Haddock, the steak and the butter and bread pudding was absolutely delicious. Lovely place! Will definitely visit again when in Dublin, thanks 🙌

    The Dingle Crab was delicious on fresh brown bread. The venison was cooked perfectly and the selection of hard and soft cheeses for dessert were the perfect ending. Excellent service from a knowledgeable staff.

    We went for the set menu - the crisp and pork scratching were stale. The starters arrived less than 10 mins after we ordered. Things seemed rushed - I know the Covid climate has had an affect but people still want to feel like they are out for the evening and enjoying themselves.

    Cooking while ambitious was inconsistent. Starter of potted crab was nice. Celeriac soup lacked body and depth of flavour. Main of Sea trout had nice crispy skin but was overcooked. Cooking on the rump of beef was on the well done side of medium and bone marrow accompaniment on one plate was not roasted for long enough and was edible. Deserts were not well balanced and were overly sweet. Service was friendly if a little slow. More consistency is required at this price point.

    Delightful, especially with all the beautiful Christmas decor. Beautiful view of the river and the Ha’penny Bridge, surrounded by a wonderful and vibrant neighborhood. We ordered the ham hock and the crab, incredible! Pierce was a wonderful host. Be sure to make a reservation to avoid having to wait!

    Food beautiful and service swift and polite. Front server at kitchen service station was coughing profusely continuously and he wasn’t wearing a mask while serving up the food- I found this to be very disconcerting. Thankfully for us- he happened not to be there very briefly at the time of serving up ours!

    Lovely room. Service was too much and then too little. Food was not good. The sauce on the venison was too runny and sweet and tasted like the alcohol hadn't been cooked off it.

    No nos gustó, comida cara en proporción a la calidad, ni si quiera pagas las vistas porque solo unas pocas mesas estan cerca de la ventana. Desorganizacion de los camareros, mucho ruido en la sala con la cocina al lado de las mesas

    We had a gorgeous Christmas lunch with pre lunch bubbles at the Winding Stair before we embarked on a busy day shopping. Their twist on Christmas dinner was gorgeous, simple quality and flavoursome. Always enjoy a trip there.

    We come here every December for a Christmas meal and as usual we were very satisfied. The staff are professional yet so friendly, the setting is gorgeous and the food is to die for. We came away with very full and happy bellies and will of course be back soon again. Best restaurant in Dublin!
