Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Castleknock

We went for my friend's birthday celebration. I booked for 4 adults, but we came with a 5month old baby with carriage. Was told 'you didnt book with a baby'. I felt embarrased infront of everyone. By the time we got a table, the party next to us have the same situation, a baby with a carriage. I need to know what's the drama behind booking with a baby. The hot drinks and pastries were ok at best. Scone for €5.5? It should be one of the best, but no. We have to ask for 2 hot drinks twice that werent served. The place is crowded and cramped. I dunno if this is usual. But I feel cramped in a canteen. The staff were nice and attentive. But the hard product was a complete contrast. I wil cancel the 2 bookings of afternoon tea after this experience. For almost similar price, just go to the nearby hotel.

Really enjoyed our afternoon tea everything was delicious and the service was excellent

Great for a group especially sharing appetisers. Friendly service.

Our group loved our meal, sat at the bar. The only miss was the crab pasta, but the oysters, scotch egg, chicken and wine were all on point. Would certainly go back.

Excellent service, the food was absolutely delicious! I had the fish of the day, halibut, perfectly cooked. My daughter had the seafood risotto and loved it.
