    Absolutely delicious food , for 29.95 you get unlimited garlic bread that is the best garlic bread we have ever had, steak which was cooked and seasoned perfectly woth seasoned fries which as also unlimited and a choice of sauce, and a side salad. For dessert it's very tasty profiteroles and chocolate sauce. You will be Absolutely stuffed after , there is also a chicken option too. They do it really well and it shows as it was so busy but the service definitely didn't reflect how busy they were, so fast and efficient and very friendly. This is my 3rd visit to this group of restaurants and I will definitely return and recommend it to everyone visiting Dublin.

    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.

    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.
