The food was excellent from the scallop starter to the Halibut special- anything was expertly prepared. The sommelier made an excellent paring with our food selections as well as an after dinner Sauternes. Our waiter on the other hand was horrid no interpersonal or communication skills. We were celebrating a special occasion recognized by the hostess but totally ignored by our waiter even though tables around us had had special celebrations noted. Nor did he even ask if we wanted dessert! What could / should have been a lovely evening was negated due to the lack of attentive service. This waiter needs to go back to wait staff 101 training to get a personality and learn how to treat customers

Grill

South City Centre

About the restaurant

Renowned for locally sourced, mouth watering steaks, Moreland's Grill is one of the best steakhouses in Dublin.

Chic and sophisticated, Moreland's Grill offers a luxury dining experience that pivots on restrained elegance. Taking many of its design cues from the Art Deco era, diners are welcomed to a polished dining hall in which a four-sided, outward-facing booth forms the centrepiece, creating a dining setup that speaks of opulence thanks to its beautiful grey leather finish. Moreland's Grill heralds classic glamour and pairs it with exquisite modern cooking.

Moreland's Grill goes above and beyond, searing Hereford beef on a 500 degrees Celsius Josper Grill for the ultimate succulent mouthful. The grill also welcomes fresh halibut and juicy beef patties whilst the saffron vegan gnocchi and risotto is a culinary treat for non-meat eaters. For dinner that excels in modern cooking and that sprinkling of pizzazz, Moreland's Grill is where all special occasions st

We were exhausted from jet lag and wanted something convenient. We were staying at the hotel, Moreland's was a no brainer. The wait staff was great. We got the chargrilled burger and chicken with mushrooms. Food came out quick and hot. We enjoyed our dinner and would recommend it.

Lovely venue. Intimate and quiet. Jazz night was delightful and not too noisy. Musician was accomplished, easy to talk over the music, but super to listen to. Service was really good.
