Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Straffan

Great experience, food was amazing food was delicious loved our experience here we will definitely be back we had a great night, espresso martinis are fantastic also

Hawksmoor Dublin is always a great dining experience. It’s my favorite steak place in Dublin. I like how they have all the daily available great steaks listed on a chalk board by size. The steaks and sides are wonderful. The service is great, and I like the upscale but relaxed environment there. I look forward to my return for another great dinner.

Overall, the dinner was lovely. The interior is beautiful and gives a great first impression. The food was gorgeous, pricey but you pay not only for food but also ambiance so I absolutely don't mind! However, the only downside was the service. On a quiet day, there is absolutely no reason to put the only two tables right beside each other, it was rather awkward. One situation that left quite a bad taste in my mouth was when the staff argued about an order. It was a genuine mistake - I ordered a lamb bao, and received a lobster one. Completely different but I had the staff argue as the lobster bao is called "Lambay" and tried to tell me I was the one that ordered wrong... Just a mistake however it wasn't handled great. The food was gorgeous, the spiced margarita with the lychee foam one of the best ones I had, but overall experience was a bit tainted and unfortunately I won't be rushing back.

Overall we had a nice time but were a little disappointed by some of the dishes and the portion sizes. We opted for the tasting menu and felt that we didn’t get great value for money. We had a nice time but wouldn’t be running back again. The starters and dessert were divine but the main courses were left a lot to be desired. The chicken and fish portions were very small. The chicken was blackened and very spicy The service was really good and we couldn’t fault the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff.

Great place, delicious food for a very goid price.
