   Excellent meal at Bastible with great service. Set menu very heavy on fish which was no issue for us but if you don't like fish maybe not for you. A small point but would have liked to see more wines by the glass on the menu.

   Amazing food. Great experience. Had a large 10 person dinner on a work trip. We all also did the wine pairing.

   Very skillful cooking with diverse and escalating flavours. Very knowledgeable sommelier who introduced us to something new. Great to see strong staff express an opinion as to their recommendations. Will absolutely be back!!

   It was a truly special evening. The food and the wine pairing were exquisite. The service was so attentive yet not intrusive. Bastible has such a relaxed yet informal ambience to it. A standalone evening !

    I had the tasting menu, which may or may not be in place every night, I don't know. Under those circumstances it's a fantastic restaurant, especially if you're a foodie interested in trying new dishes and appreciate not just taste but the artistry of food. I enjoyed my meal with the wine paring and it did not disappoint. I was dining solo and felt completely comfortable; the atmosphere is casual but lively and I did not feel out of place. Every dish was incredible, as were the wines selected. Fresh, different, beautiful and filling. My only regret is not tipping bigger. There are a lot of mixed messages about tipping in Ireland with people saying you don't tip at all lest you insult workers by suggesting they don't earn a decent living. As I spent more time, I discovered no one was insulted; many appreciated the gratuities. Unfortunately, Bastible was my first night and I only tipped 10% and in hindsight, that was cheap for the meal and service I received. My apologies to the staff. PUT THIS ON YOUR LIST AND GO! But make a reservation in advance so you don't miss out as it's a small place. P.S. - this is on the higher end of prices, but not so much for a tasting menu experience.
