Best Casual Restaurants in Dublin

We ate at Matt the Miller's on Christmas Eve and we're a bit nervous from experiences at other restaurants that overbooked on and around holidays, so we were pleasantly surprised when we were immediately seated. The sound level was very low, and the service staffs' demeanor was quiet, mannerly and quite efficient. We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer, and they were HUGE! More like small rolls. They tasted like soft garlic bites than anything pretzel related though. There were a couple burgers ordered, which were fine, if not exceptional. A pork tenderloin sandwich was recommended and ordered as medium, but perhaps a tad underdone, at least as considered by the person that ate it. The meatloaf was enjoyable, and the margherita flatbread had a nice cracker crust and a nice blend of cheeses, but was rather greasy. We did not order desserts as the portion sizes are generous. Overall it was a very pleasant lunch given the good food, excellent service, and quiet ambience.

Great service, very attentive and nice. Great dining experience.

Off the chart noisy. But the holidays are upon us! Food and service were great but the two of us couldn't hear ourselves talk due the loud, intoxicated people at the bar next to us.

My wife and I stopped for dinner after a long day at the Stephanie Spielman Breast Cancer Center. Our waitress, Julia, was over the top kind and caring. We ordered two 9 oz glasses of Merlot because we had a tough day. Julia sensed that we were struggling and kindly gave us a complimentary desert as a “Picker Upper.” We were so impressed with her kindness and generosity. You’ve got yourself a good one. Thank you Julia for brightening our day. You made a difference.

Very smooth sit down. Everything came out quick and waitress was polite.
