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 an excellent experience at SOLE. SOLE provides an amiable and informed service, prompt but not rushed. We had an opportunity to sample some wines before selecting, led by the recommendations of our waitress. Everyone at our party enjoyed the food, great taste and excellent presentation. SOLE also presented us with a Congratulatory plate for our special occasion, which was a lovely touch. Thank you to all for another very memorable dining experience!
