Christmas. Fucking hell. I was at a meeting in a hotel in September and they had a Fucking Christmas tree up.
Christmas is now longer than it isn’t.
I was there in May refueling as part of a stag. Seafood platter was unreal.
Why do they blur out the name in the photo?

Agreed. When it first opened, we went in for a couple of drinks and we’re told the bar is only for people who were eating. Had food there a couple of weeks after that and it was meh. Haven’t been back since although I believe the food is supposed to be very good these days.
Its open nearly 6 years mate, its worth you trying again but its a restaurant and not a pub.
I know mate, I live about 200 yards away from it. I can be very stubborn when it comes to restaurants/pubs/food outlets. Once bitten and all that.
I’ve been to Chophouse a few times over the past year. It’s fairly decent but it seems more of a gastro-pub type place than a restaurant proper to me. I feel the same about the likes of Ely and I always resent paying €30 for my sssshhhhteak in these joints - it just seems too expensive for the environment but maybe I’m a cheap cunt.

Had an absolutely beautiful rib eye steak in House in Howth last night.
No you’re not, mate. I’m happy to pay 30 bucks or whatever for a steak in a nice restaurant with good staff but this gastro pub horseshit of charging 20 quid for a fucking burger or 18 quid for a bowel of pasta cooked by a grill monkey galls me.

We’re kindred spirits and that pleases me greatly, pal.

There’s a lovely little Italian eatery at the Connolly Station end of Talbot St - some of the nicest pizzas in Dublin. Il Capo (I think).

New place opening this week across from Asador.
€34 for beef fillet on the dinner menu but it’s essentially a deli during the day.
Seems too expensive.
Passed by this place yesterday and saw the hoardings-was wondering what kind of place it would be. Beef cheek on the lunch menu and 16 bob at that. Angelina can get fucked.

The wine list is riddled with typos. If that attention to detail were replicated in the kitchen I dread to think what the food would be like.
Also €39 for a bog standard Cotes du Rhone. That’s a joke.

As an aside, I ate in Asador last week. Very tasty steak.
how did you have it?
Medium rare with a side of Bearnaise sauce.
Lads, best place in the Greater Grand Canal Dock area for a meal on 5 on Friday before I go and pretend to like U2 for the evening? Will most likely be accompanied by some of Mrs Macs work colleagues and her good self. Asador was top of the list but doesn’t open till 5.30.
