We had a fantastic dining experience. I enjoyed the Cashel cheese, spinach and mushroom boxty, while my colleague had the fish and chips with white fish 90%, crispy batter 10%, mushy peas and chips. Our manager chose the Irish beef stew with sides of colcannon potatoes, string beans with fresh soft cheese. Every dish was excellent, full of flavour, beautifully prepared and a real treat. As someone looking for gluten-free options, I was particularly impressed by the variety available and the care taken with the food. The house beer was also delicious and complemented the meal perfectly. What truly made the experience stand out, however, was the service. The team was incredibly welcoming, attentive and friendly from start to finish. It was genuinely a pleasure to be served by such warm and hospitable staff. Excellent food, great gluten-free options, wonderful drinks and outstanding service. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this restaurant to others.🍀😊

We moved to Dublin a year ago, and we just had our best meal yet here. At Millstone, the food was beautifully prepared (the Yorkshire Pudding appetizer was about the best dish we’re ever had - even after living in Manhattan our entire lives). Coupled with the terrific hospitality of all the wait staff, it made for an evening we’ll remember for a long time.

    I booked Chequer Lane by Jamie Oliver for my boyfriend's birthday but accidentally selected the bar seating option. When we arrived, I was so annoyed at myself because I really didn’t want us eating our birthday dinner at the bar. One of the staff members noticed I was a bit down about it and asked what was wrong. When I explained, she immediately went to check what she could do. Even though they were busy, she moved us downstairs into their absolutely beautiful, separate private dining room since it wasn't occupied at that exact moment. The decor and ambiance in that room were stunning! Our server downstairs was equally amazing- friendly, attentive, and provided 10/10 service. The food was spectacular (I ordered the duck and highly recommend it!). To top it off, the staff thoughtfully brought out a little complimentary birthday dessert for my boyfriend without me even asking. I am so grateful to the team for turning my booking mistake into an unforgettable celebration. Impeccable service from start to finish, thank you so much!

    The food was outstanding and presented beautifully coupled with a very helpful and attentive team explaining the plates we chose on the day. Brilliant. Nice easy vibe on a Friday afternoon with super playlist in the background.

    Was originally seated at sloping table which didn’t work for us. The team organised a table inside which was perfect and more comfortable. Food selection good and the prawn dish was exceptional.. really nice evening
