Great restaurant in the grand canal dock , excellent food and lovely staff. Such of a great food experience I would definitely be back soon.
Very good restaurant which tends to be full so booking is recommended.
We've had the fish fillet, the burger and the steak, all were very tasty. However, desserts are not that good.
Music is a little bit high for a restaurant.
Waiters seem overwhelmed at peak hours but they don't fail to serve you.
We went here before a show in the Bord Gais. We opted for the 3 course before show menu. Three courses for less then 30€ it was excellent value. I went for spicy wings, Beef burger and brownie. I was with a friend for her birthday and they even sent out a cake in the dessert. The porsecco was a great choice also. Very impressed

Went here for the pre theatre menu a few weeks ago before going to see a show. The food was amazing quality and you could tell there was a lot of thought that went in to the dishes and their presentation.
I had the chicken liver parfait for starters, it was delicious but could have done with some more bread for the amount of parfait you were given. For mains I chose the roasted sweet potato and chickpea cake and my mam had the free range Irish chicken. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the sweet potato cake was so flavourful dying to go back and have it again I delighted I had picked that. We chose the banoffee and cheesecake for desert the presentation of them in jars was nice and they were lovely but nothing too special either. The wine recommended to us was the zagalia pinot Grigio are it was gorgeous.
Although the food tasted great we did feel that we needed to get desert as we didn't really feel full after our starters and mains. I do think the portion sizes aren't that great so if you are starving make sure you also order a side dish with your main course.
If you're looking for a nice place to have dinner in the "Tech" district in Dublin HQ is a good option. They serve nice modern comfort food and some deliciously looking burgers. They have a very big room with nice cosy areas with sofas and it fits big groups as well. It's also a great place for b-day drinks and gatherings since they will keep you going with good wine and finger food.
Great brunch menu, reasonably priced with good quality ingredients. Fast and friendly service. Terrace is a welcome spot for dining al fresco (Irish weather permitting)
HQ is in a great location, right beside the Grand Canal Theatre. I've been twice and had the Chicken Liver Patè to start on both occasions. The food is very good, and you wont be disappointed by the portion sizes. I would certainly return, particularly if going for a pre-theatre meal.
The prices are on the high side, which is the one deterrent.
I had a really delicious meal in HQ on a Saturday night. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, but there was a great atmosphere. I went for the spicy tomato soup to start, and my boyfriend had the chicken liver parfait. The soup was delicious, a really big bowl and was served with a big slice of fresh bread. The pate also got the thumbs up. For mains I went for the sole which was amazing. The portion was really big and everything was very fresh. He went for the rib-eye steak. The portion was also very big and came with a generous helping of chips. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the service was nice a quick. Great place if you are in the area.
This was my first time in HQ and a lovely treat!First of all the service (it was that impressive that its paramount it be addressed first), was incredible. Staff were pleasant, professional and attentive, offering advice on the menu, explaining dishes and ensuring neither wine nor water glasses were ever half empty. For starters we had the chorizo and prawn risotto which was as tasty as it sounds. For mains I had sole which was cooked perfectly but otherwise was fine, not too memorable. I also had a side of beetroot and hazelnut which was nice with the dish, just to note it comes drizzled with natural yoghurt - it doesn't say that on the menu. The dessert was the best food choice decision I made all night. Apricot bread and butter pudding with plums and chocolate sauce, it was served warm and was a delight!
Myself and my sister grabbed dinner here a few days back as she works just around the corner and I had been meaning to try it out since it changed from Ely last year. The location is really cool, right by Grand Canal Dock and is designed really well. There's a great, laid back atmosphere and the restaurant is really open and spacious. It was fairly quiet, as it was early on a Monday night, but I expect closer to the weekend there'd be a great atmosphere.
The staff here are great and really accommodating. I ordered the featherblade of beef and it was cooked really well, and the meat was especially tender. I wasn't expecting there to be such an extensive drinks list, and they had some great craft beer options. We were in and out fairly quickly but would definitely go back again for drinks or a group meal.
