Mediocre over-priced food and very restricted menu. starters in particular ie €17 / 18 for Bruscheta which was cold and the 5 small pieces of battered calamari were rubbery . Mains of fish and chips and Lamb were OK, but not restauraunt quality , in fact not even pub quality. Service was fine . We go to the NCH regularly but won't be eating there again .

Really excellent food and attentive service. Considering this is in the venue, our expectations were far exceeded, with both service and menu that is better than most of the local restaurants. Highly recommended, even when not visiting the NCH!

The waitress was lovely. The food was of a very ordinary standard considering the price. The restaurant was quite noisy as well. Despite the convenience of eating there before a concert in the National Concert Hall, I won't be going back there anytime soon.

Perfect place for a dinner before performance. A bit expensive, but food is really delicious, the choice of food is a bit more sophisticated compared to many Dublin restaurants. Very quiet, great place to have a nice chat. Really enjoyed it!

The service was slow. The food was ok but I had the sea bass and the portion was tiny more like a starter portion, the green beans were undercooked. Overall it was not good and certainly not good value. The room is nice and the staff are pleasant but they did not appear to be very experienced. I would not be hurrying to go back.

Lovely pre show dinner with prompt service. The staff managed very well considering we all needed to be finished at the same time to get to our seats for the start of the show.
