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.
