    Host is a tiny, lively restaurant with very high culinary standards in the heart of Ranelagh. The menu is short but well-balanced with small plates, lots of fresh pasta choices and grilled meat and fish. We were looked after, as if we were VIPs, by the well-informed and super-friendly staff! Early booking advised.

    Amazing dining experience, lovely staff. They were very accommodating for different dietary preferences just wish there were a few more vegetarian options.

    Food was unreal - can't express how good the chefs menu was. Steak is to die for.

    A lot of delicious food that we all savoured. The Rib eye steak was divine. Seasoned to perfection and the potatoes and veg were perfect as well. Our waiter was lovely.
