Asador

Came here for New Years Eve as it was ny girlfriends birthday. Really good vibe, relaxed atmosphere and the cocktails are out of this world so much when we paid the bill we moved from the table to the bar just so we could see them being made. All of the staff were super friendly including the waitress who came over to us when at the bar with a piece of paper with the names of bars with the best cocktails in Dublin. We visited 1 after and she wasnt wrong! The food goes without saying.. that was lovely too. Would definately recommend!

The food , drink and staff where all incredible!! Would totally recommend this for a date night or to impress a client !!

I came today on my own for breakfast to sit outside with my papers. Great location and lovely outdoor seating. Food, I ordered a mixed grill - Beautifully glazed bacon (although I needed a steak knife to eat it) but the flavour was really good. I was a bit sceptical of the pudding as it wasn't like pudding I'd normally eat, it was a little runny but the chef cooked it more for me and then i really liked it. It was really flavoursome and far superior to black puddings I had before. The service was excellent. This is a great place for meat lovers.

Came here last night for a midweek date night courtesy of a thetaste.ie voucher which afforded 3 courses and a bottle of vino. This place has been on my radar almost since it opened so was keen to check it out.

This is one of a growing number of Dublin restaurants who have adopted a bar / seating area in addition to the main dining room. I loved the curved walls as lined by columns of wine bottles (my kind of wallpaper!) and the cosy couches. We were sat in a booth area which was great – the right balance of privacy and ability to people watch ;) There are also a number of circular tables which is great to see as they facilitate larger groups so much better than square tables.

But enough about interiors – we were here for meat. BBQ meat. Upon ordering, we were served some bread which was devoured – I had come hungry. The brown bread was proper Irish country bread and was brimming with seeds and health. A good start. In lieu of butter, the bread was flanked by chimchurri oil which was gorgeous – think chilli olive oil but nicer.

For starters, I had the prawn pil pil which was surprisingly hot but the prawns were very juicy and most certainly not overcooked. Himself had the chicken wings which were surprisingly sweet – I had been expecting a smokey flavour but these made for a great surprise. Thankfully, a water bowl came to our aide as our fingers were very much on the sticky side.

It is a pity that the fish of the day was cod as it is possibly my least favorite fish, so instead I opted for the lamb hangman, while Himself had the pichancha steak for a small supplement. His steak was rather on the blue side as per his request, and was delicious. Would have liked some greens to counterbalance the dish but the skinny chips went down well nonetheless. The pepper sauce and tomato were on the more non-descript side. My dish however, was a showstopper. Despite the menu describing it as ‘hangman’ I was no more expecting a chain of lamb meatballs to be presented on a standing skewer on the table. Impressive, if a little nervy as the space around the plate was immeditaley limited. Himself conceded that the lamb was better than his steak, while the accompanying cucumber yogurt, romesco sauce, Moroccan tabbouleh and grilled courgette were all lovely and brought it all together.

Finally for dessert, I (unsurprisingly) went for the dark chocolate and coffee mousse as served with sable biscuits in a hearty mug. Lovely and creamy. Himself went for the more savoury option of the cheese board and was served a very generous 3 chunks of cheese, grapes, relish, quince jam and a selection of crackers. Kudos to the kitchen for proving more than one type of cracker!!

All in all a lovely meal, particularly if you after meat!

Great location, surroundings and friendly staff. Majority of the food was excellent. Had a good sample of the selection as there was 7 of us dining. I had the burger which was slightly over complicated with too many sauces which over powered the flavour of the beef. The cheese on the burger was too strong and salty which added to masking the flavour of the beef. The steaks and fish were very good with simple accompaniments which allowed the fish and meat be the star of the show. The starters were all excellent and we got to sample a new possible addition to the menu and compare with the current iteration of the dish. We were well looked after by the staff with nothing being too much of an ask.
We were given complimentary desert which was a welcome surprise and very much appreciated. After dinner coffee was lovely which was nice as often coffee selection is over looked by some restaurants.
The meal overall was very good value. It is definitely worth a visit and I will certainly be returning again.

Great restaurant with good service, vibe and excellent dishes from starters to deserts. Also good wine selection. However when you ask a medium rare steak and you get it almost well done its unforgivable for an Argentinian steakhouse. The rest of the meal saved the day.

I brought my sister here for her birthday and she is still talking about her dinner! She loved it so much.she had the fish on the night and she moaned while eating it so it must have been good! I had steak it was more rare than medium and very chewy so I found that slightly offputting, in saying that I still ate it all. I got home made ice cream for dessert. One scoop tasted like grass or some kind of herbs. I love the chefs ambition and risk here but no... please no herbs in the ice cream.
