Chef proprietor Dylan McGrath & his team have created this more casual dining experience for Fade Street Social. The Woodfired Restaurant has a menu featuring wood-fired dishes, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re catching a show at the theatre, heading out for a night on the town, or simply enjoying a meal with friends, this part of Fade Street provides a fun, yet relaxed and more affordable dining experience.The Woodfired menu specialises in cooking food over hot coals, to achieve more unique flavours and textures. The smoke from the coals imparts a smoky flavour, while the heat caramelises the sugars in the food, creating a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Wood-fired cooking is a traditional cooking method that has been enjoyed for centuries, we've now brought some of that to Fade Street Social.Ascend to the first floor and discover our New York-style cocktail bar and roof garden, offering snacks, cocktails, great music and fantastic views.

    Wonderful experience! This is a lovely wine cellar below the Fallon & Byrne grocery. The atmosphere is cozy and yet vibrant. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Simon was of great assistance selecting the perfect wine to bring home. He’s wonderful. There is a wine list on the menu or you can select from their wide variety on the shelf for a corkage fee. The food was delicious. We had the peppers and focaccia for appetizers- really great. The bolognese was good but a bit undercooked ( and I like Al dente). The pizza was superb. Go, you’ll love it!

    Booked an early dinner for 2 people midweek. It was a small anniversary celebration for us. The restaurant was very quiet and we were greeted warmly and friendly by the host who assured us we could store our wheelchair without needing to bring it down to the table. Server was super friendly and personable. Our drinks and food came extremely quickly - right after our bread (fresh focaccia and olive oil) and drinks had just been brought. The food overall was delicious and very high quality. I had pork belly and sausage bucatini and got a full piece of pork belly on top of the pasta which had a delicious creamy sauce. My husband had pizza and ate every scrap of it. Also had a side of cheddar bacon fries. Yum! We got 2 desserts - mulled wine poached pears and a caramel sundae (couldn’t convince hubs to get the Christmas putting parfait with eggnog anglaise!) and a couple of cokes and a mocktail. Value was good for what we got - I did note a few items on the menu were quite highly priced a steak over €40 for example but that seems to be the norm now of extremely overly priced select items. Overall a delicious meal, friendly, attentive staff and a nice interior / vibe / decor in the place. My only small complaint was it was pretty cold - needed my jacket put back around my shoulders during the meal, It was the start of the freezing cold weather outside this week so maybe hadn’t thought to get heating going inside just yet! Otherwise no real complaints and will certainly be back ! Thanks for a lovely evening at Isabelle’s.
