The battered cod was pretty good&mdash;as good as any I&#39;ve had back home. Hake was a bit bland, but stick with the classic and you&#39;re sorted.

Ended up coming back twice on our trip &mdash; nothing else in Dublin came close. The food was unreal, and the staff were just as good.

The staff really knew their stuff when it came to the menu. They suggested a wine pairing that worked beautifully with my fish dish. Service was professional, maybe a touch formal for my liking, but I appreciated the knowledge. Felt well looked after without being rushed.

Lovely spot for a feed &mdash; the place was hopping on Friday night but we got our food quick enough. Siobhan looked after us really well, proper friendly. Only gripe, tables are a bit close together when it&#39;s packed.

The churros with chocolate sauce are the reason I keep coming back. Warm, crispy, and that sauce is properly thick. Inside the shopping centre so it&#39;s handy, though it can get a bit busy around lunchtime. Fine for a quick stop if you&#39;re craving something sweet.

The tandoori jumbo prawn masala had that nice smoky char, and the mango lassi was properly refreshing. Seating area felt a bit cramped though, could barely move my chair.

Food was decent enough, but service dragged a bit. We sat outside and the terrace felt dead, no buzz at all. Had the fish and chips, it did the job. Maybe it was just an off night. I&#39;d try it again on a quieter day, but I wouldn&#39;t rush back.

Been coming here for a while now and the staff still remember my usual order. They sorted out a mix-up last time without any fuss, even threw in a free meal. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The seafood bar is the way to go here. Everything tasted properly fresh, like it hadn&#39;t been sitting around. Staff were sound too. Solid spot in Howth.

Came here with a group of 8 and honestly the service was the standout. Staff were dead friendly and didn&#39;t mess around even though we were a big crowd. Food was grand, nothing mad but solid. Only thing was the soda from the machine tasted a bit off. Wouldn&#39;t put me off going back though.

Came here for a birthday dinner and honestly the pizza was the star of the night. Crust was spot on, toppings generous. Portion sizes are decent for the price, which is rare these days. Service was friendly enough, no complaints. Just wish they had a bit more seating, it got crowded quick. Would come back for that pizza though.

The lamb quesabirria tacos are the reason I keep coming back. Double cheese, tender meat, decent dipping sauce. Bit oily but packed with flavour. Generous portion for the price.

Stopped in on a Tuesday night, place is tiny but has that proper Italian feel. Asked the waiter to pick wines for us, he knew his stuff, every glass worked. The tiramisu though, that was the highlight. Light, creamy, not too sweet. I&rsquo;ve had a lot of these and this one&rsquo;s up there. Just wish they had a bit more room, felt a little cramped.

Had brunch here and Jonathas took care of us. Food was solid, coffee selection decent. Place has a proper relaxed vibe.

Pizza was solid and Sergio looked after us well. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area, menu&#39;s got plenty of options. Just wish the place wasn&#39;t so packed when we went.

The cocktails were spot on, really well made. Food was decent, starters were the best part. Just found it a bit steep for what you get portion-wise.

Stopped in for a quick bite and honestly the service was the highlight. Felipe and Matheus kept things moving, no hovering, just on it. Pizza had a nice thin crust, caipirinha did the job. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in a hurry but still want something decent.

The vegan paella was spot on, and those vegan past&eacute;is de nata are a proper treat. Staff knew their stuff when I asked for recommendations. Good spot if you&#39;ve got mixed dietary needs in the group.

The pho here is proper&mdash;rich broth, decent amount of beef. Veggie spring rolls were a solid shout too. Service was quick enough, though it does get a bit tight downstairs when it&#39;s busy.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the salmon sashimi and a dragon roll. Fish tasted properly fresh, not the usual sad lunchtime stuff. Staff left me alone but checked in when needed. Place is decent if you&#39;re nearby and want something quick.

Stopped in for drinks&mdash;the strawberry mint mojito was proper refreshing. Nice touch having mocktails on the menu too, not just an afterthought. Saw a drink tower go by, looked class for a group. Bar was a bit quiet for a Friday but that suited me fine. Wouldn&#39;t mind trying the food next time.
