The House - Dublin

Very slow staff. We went here for a small hens night . The staff very extremely slow . When we entered and sat at our table we had to call them for drinks after 5-10 mins of a wait . The food was not great was so looking forward to here after it was recommended to us . It was a small hens 4 of us just close friends before the big hens and the food none of us finished. The staff never came and asked again were we ok for drinks we had to call .. we were so long waiting on food drinks we didn’t order dessert and just wanted the bill to leave .

Cosy interior, and very attentive service- My wife and I wanted a very simple lunch on this occasion, so opted for the leek and potato soup, accompanied by delicious wheaten bread- Reasonably priced, perfect for our needs- Good location, just back from the main thoroughfare—

Fabulous spot in Howth with great service and lovely food. Nicely out of the way from the crowds down at the pier too. Love coming here for a mid week dinner treat. Interesting menu and some really good wines by the glass. Always a warm welcome received.

Disappointing experience, after waiting 40 minutes and asking a few times we still never got our desserts. We paid for our teas and coffees and left. Staff seemed uninterested in serving us or in chasing up our order. Not a friendly or welcoming place.

A restaurant we have visited a number of times but won’t return. Wondering if ownership has changed? Room was cold and positioned behind our table were a stack of baby chairs. Really not what you would expect in this restaurant at night. It took a considerable time for us to order a drink, with no apology. Service by one waitress appalling. Felt like we were inconveniencing her, especially when one of our party ordered another drink and she pointed at him to give her the menu that was on the table. She never asked for the menu and we were at a loss as to what she wanted. Then to add to the bad service,when dessert was ordered she then threw two spoons on the table and walked off. It then took about 30 minutes for it to arrive. Food was good if a little overpriced, but experience of the night ruined by the bad service. If I’d had my way, no tip would have been given. .
