Food review insights for Ireland

*Im a vegetarian so this only applies to those who are joining as the veggie guest to their steak loving partner/friend!* We went New Year’s Eve, staff were lovely (just needed a little more checking in than we got). I had the cheese board for my starter which was honestly ace! Can’t go wrong with a cheese board. But for the main I had the aubergine starter with miso broccoli. Both were supposed to have miso sauces but I couldn’t taste any miso and unfortunately the aubergine was just very burnt and inedible and covered lazily with salad. I understand it being a steak restaurant this isn’t a priority but considering the price it’s worth improving.

*Terrible experience!* I visited Passion 4 Food expecting a good meal, but it was a complete disaster. The food was awful—cold, tasteless, and clearly not fresh. On top of that, the staff were extremely rude and unprofessional. No basic manners, no customer service, just attitude. Absolutely not worth the money or time. Never going back and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Stay away!

3/5. The hype behind this little Italian restaurant is, to me, baffling. The food was just okay. The dishes overall lacked flavour and did not excite my taste buds. Pasta was underwhelming. Wouldn’t call it a disappointment. Tiramisu for dessert felt soggy and lacked the certain creaminess/cloudyness (if I can use that term). Overall, I felt there’s room to improve.

Easter Bank Holiday, plan was to go for walk and nice meal out,, disappointing is the least I could say. I would leave zero stars if I could. The food is mediocre for the price and to make it even worse it is not even close to authentic Greek You should not call yourself a Greek restaurant. The food feels ridiculously whitewashed. I’m confident the food here poisoned us, It’s the only food I ate in the last 24 hours , we ordered the horiatiki salad it wasn't great as olives were way to salty, hummus was very bland and Tyropita was filled with something but for sure not feta or eggs, briefly mentioned to the waiter and he wasn't sure what was in it.. and better for him not to know... He wasn’t interested even tho we complained bout the pastry thing. definitely don't recommend or will we be back.

... ok, maybe a text message saying "Avoid"... Not very happy at all about this place. Service snotty, pursed lips and all. The mussles where boring and bland. It's not advanced cuisine, this dish, and I have had better mussles and fries for half the prize many times in other places. The fries had that boring run-of-the-mill generic "grill seasoning" that you buy in supermarkets. And that's probably where they found the fries too by the way. The starter with Fried calamari was good but you had to pay extra 2,50 euros... You got three of them on a plate and that was it. Farcical. It's not cosy, just a bit sloppy and at the same time pretentious. It's dirty, a bit greasy and the decor is dated. The food isn't cooked with love and the portions are too small. They have 10% automatic service charge too, not worth it. The bill was risible, very expensive for that kind of bland, uninspired dishes. Avoid.

106Eur for a bottle of wine (60Eur), ravioli and spezzatino! Thanks but never again! This is not traditional Italian food and the place look really bad!

Lovely meal downstairs in the cellar area! Service from Kris and Dima was great and very quick. Only let down was no affogato on the menu and we were told it couldn’t be done!

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.
