    We enjoyed our fabulous dinner in the Winding Stair on a busy and bustling Friday night in Dublin. The location is perfect. The food was faultless and I'm looking forward to returning very soon. It's been a while since we last are here and it has kept up to its high standards. Good food cooked perfectly. The staff are very professional and friendly. The Winding Stair is very high on my list of favourite restaurants, I think it could be my number one very easily! I can highly recommend it but remember to book a table as it's very popular.

    We had delicious mocktails &drinks at the bar while waiting for all the part to arrive. Then we had the wonderful festive menu- i had prawns to start so fresh and delicious with sea bass for main - the flavours were incredible. I couldn’t resist the whisky crème brûlée for dessert. Our waitress was so friendly and kind. Looking forward to returning.

    The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was second to none. Wine prices were a bit off the wall but then they are in most restaurants of this calibre. Would definitely recommend Glovers Alley for a nice lunch, romantic dinner or a business meeting as the layout of the restaurant can accommodate any of the above.

    Delicious food. Everything served quickly. Staff were always checking in (in a non-intrusive way) to see if we needed anything else or top ups, they were really lovely and attentive. Really great experience. Also, it was outrageously affordable for Dublin city centre prices. Looking forward to going back.
