3.5 / 5 Fair prices, decent portions (could be cheaper though, if they wish to be competitive). Coffee is good, and so was the pastry. But the Eggs Benedict was overcooked with mediocre sauce. Pleasant, quick service. Nice interior design and comfy chairs, but acoustics aren't great (e.g nearby table felt too loud).

A friend organized a dinner here for our small group. It was an excellent choice. We were offered a pre-theater menu with a varied selection. The price is a little bit more expensive but given the service and the atmosphere, it's worth it. Thanks!

Adore this restaurant, fabulous food, wine and staff. This visit was a little disappointing in terms of service. We were extremely rushed - starters dropped to our table very quickly (almost too quickly!) as we were still eating (not even half way through!) we were told the kitchen wanted to clear a big group order first, before I could say we were happy to wait for our mains (again we were still getting though our starters) they pointed to the fact the mains were already cooked and sitting on the station. I felt rushed to finish my starter so I could have a hot main - I was really annoyed by this as this was a special birthday booking and this is a favourite spot of ours! Again the large group was prioritised and our forks barely touched our plates before dessert was rushed out. Thankfully we were okay to stay a little longer to final our wine. The food is divine (as it was this time - just a little cold!) and normally the atmosphere is homey, relaxed and well paced this time it missed that mark! We do hope to try again as the staff are lovely and you feel like part of the family!

23May2024 - Dinner Our Group of 22 arrived Dublin from Cork in the evening. With the heavy after office hour traffic, we arrived at the One Pico restaurant about 25 minutes late for our reservations. Nevertheless, the Captain was gracious in welcoming us and led us to our private room. We were actually quite surprised that the main entrance to the restaurant was along a dingy alley. The interior was simple. But the decor of the private room wasn’t what we had expected it to be. The service staff was very polite and patient, he took great care in taking the orders of each and every member of our group. My starter of Grilled Mackerel, Daikon with Truffle Ponzu was refreshing; however I felt the ponzu sauce somewhat overpowered the truffle. Couldn’t taste the truffle at all. The Main Course of Slaney Valley Lamb Rump was nicely done and tender to the bite. Some of us thought that the Aubergine was slightly burnt. Overall the lamb tasted good. Our dessert of Strawberry Mousse was good after we had the accompanied Milk Sorbet. Good combination. Must say the restaurant served good quality tea. And we ended the evening with a delightful Petit Four.

3.5 / 5 Delicious food but the dishes are too small to my liking. Value for money is not great. Paying €56 for three courses and at the end being a bit peckish, makes you wonder... Service was fine except advice about wine. They seem not familiar with basic topics. The atmosphere inside is great, but the entrance to the restaurant looks a bit dodgy.

10 out of 10 for everything, the staff went above and beyond for us. The food was amazing, best Italian food we have had in years! The atmosphere was so romantic and cosy, we can't wait to come back again. Thank you

Absolutely awful the ladies toilets are filthy and right beside the kitchen and I paid the bill and asked for a large Sambucca for my husband and paid for a large shot and he never received it and then the manager proceeded to argue with us in front of other people. Avoid! This restaurant has gone down hill and the staff genuinely don't care about there customers! I actually took pictures of the toilets they were so bad but would be sickening for anyone to see here! Definitely avoid this Restaurant! I only spoke to the owner who said she would come back to me but never did. This speaks volumes! Food: 3/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5

Absolutely shocking service and bang average food. Their main attraction is service and steak. Service was appalling and the steak was over cooked. How anyone gives this 5 stars is beyond me. As for the “atmosphere” you’d be better off in Eddie rockets.

10/10 Food was exceptional and atmosphere was so nice it was dimly lit and laid out like proper Italian restaurant. A real gem of a place. Food is top quality and there was a lovely happy buzz in the air from all the happy customers! Couldn’t fault the service either! Very pleasant staff
Tripadvisor Top praises
10/10 experience! The ambiance is unmatched. It is cool, relaxed, modern, yet comforting all at the same time! The dishes were nostalgic, delicious, cozy, and fresh! I got the sea bass which was fantastic! Also, what made the experience top notch was our lovely waiter, Edward! He really made our experience special.

This place is all about the decor, the food is just about average, all seems very processed and very quick to the table. This is an instagrammers dream location but if you like ASIAN food do not visit, if you like quality food in general don't visit. Look this place "is what it is" all about the decor and dry ice and frilly cocktails, staff are attentive but i would give it a miss and visit any of the other 100+ better Asian restaurants in Dublin!

I don't normally write reviews, but my family was so looking forward to this meal in Dublin I felt it was appropriate to share my experience, as it was not anywhere near expectation. If you don't feel like reading down, i recommend going to a pub instead and having a meal there, you will have a better experience and save a lot of time and money. We are a family of 5, we booked a table ahead of time and checked in. We were most looking forward to the views and the set dinner menu (as advertised on the website). We were seated at a table with the views of a building under construction... The "Set Dinner Menu" was not available according to our server, so please don't plan on it. I will say our server was actually lovely, and extremely friendly. The children's menu is very limited, and well... the food is even more so... One of my daughters ordered the burger, and it came out to be so over cooked, it was hard to bite through, the burger buns were rock hard and it tasted very strange. I ordered the filet and was so small in size, for $55 plus $3 for the butter, it was underwhelming to say the least. And my wife's salmon was tasteless. The meal itself took almost 2 hours, we felt at times we were just waiting... We did tell the server the burger was not good, and to their credit they took it off the bill which we appreciated, but the experience itself was well under what we thought it would be. Overall, I would say give Ryleigh's a miss if you're looking for a really nice meal out. Dublin's pubs serve better food at a much higher standard.
