    Great place for a pre theatre dinner. Lovely food and very friendly helpful staff. Thomas and his team went above and beyond to make it a very special occasion. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you.

    Overall everything was lovely apart from when we finished our main course. 3 out of the 5 of us ordered a dessert and our dinner plates were never picked up from our table. Once our dessert came, it was placed beside the empty dinner plates and the staff left them there. This was not acceptable. Service was quite slow and this was poor. However every course was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

    Enjoyed a lovely meal in Stir after a matinee show in the nearby Bord Gais theatre. The food was really good and the service from the restaurant manager and our lovely friendly waitress was excellent.

    Thomas was out server and he was charming and funny. He made us feel comfortable from the beginning. He also organised an anniversary surprise for our table. The food was exactly what we ordered and cooked beautifully. We were staying at the hotel so it was really convenient to use the restaurant and we weren't disappointed.

    I CAN'T HEAR YOU! Yes, that is how we started our evening at the Stir. We were looking forward to a nice quiet dinner but got the opposite. We had to demand another table which was still too loud for a nice restaurant. Food was good, not a fine restaurant good and serivce was ok. They brought the wrong wine, but charged us for the one we ordered(which was cheaper). We might as well of ate downstairs at the bar.
