Reviews

  • Alissa Carter

My family has gluten free, vegan, and seafood free members. To find a place that meets all of our dietary needs is difficult. Millstone not only met our requirements but far surpassed our expectations. My fillet was so beautiful it was almost a religious experience. A new religion could be founded on the flavour that exploded in my mouth. It was the purest meat enhanced by a perfect blend of simple spices that never overpowered the meat's natural taste. The sauce made the cut pop, without hiding the true essence of the steak. My husband's vegan tofu steak was beautifully crafted by someone who knows vegan cuisine and did not try to recreate a meat dish. My daughter's lamb shank was tender, falling off the bone, and perfectly matched with the sauce enhancing all of the subtle flavours of the meat. My tip: Make reservations. This place is always full, for a reason.

I went to have lunch with my friends, we had a very bad experience. The waitress was rude, we felt like they didn't want us there. We ignored that and wanted to continue to have a good time but they were coming constantly to ask us if we needed something else. Like they wanted us to leave and I noticed that they weren't like that with the other costumers. We are foreigners .Later we wanted to pay and we asked if we can pay separately and even thou we went to several restaurants and they allowed us to do so, the rude waitress just replied with a dry, NO and told us to call her when we are ready to pay then turn around and left, after that I noticed she was saying something to the guy in the bar, her colleague and he gave us a stare. We felt very uncomfortable.Hope they are not working there anymore. Never coming back.

I was drawn to the Millstone because of the excellent reviews, and their full additional coeliac menu for one of my guests. The service was excellent - the ladies were all very knowledgeable on the techniques used on the menu items, and they paid very good attention to the details of my booking. They were also not overly present around us the whole time, and knew exactly when to check in on us. We tried a variety of things and everything was excellent: the mussels were some of the best I've ever had (I had to ask for extra bread to not waste the sauce), the salmon, the lamb shank, even the Portobello mushroom dish, all excellent. The crème brûlée was the icing on the cake! All I can say is the Millstone deserves every good review it's received, and I'm adding mine to that long list of fans!

Small restaurant at Dame street with a Vintage vibe. The food here is good. I went in attracted by the garlicky fragrance coming out of the place and had ordered Pesto garlic bread and chicken with fries. Loved the garlic bread (& the white coloured sauce served with it)! Chicken was too dry for my liking but it was good too. One thing that could have been improved was if they had the facility to Let customers pack and take away the remaining food if they had ordered too much and do not wish to waste it. I love fries and hated to see them go waste coz I couldn’t finish it all.

Visited for a business dinner. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. Not too loud and never felt too busy even though all tables were occupied. The staff were very attentive and professional. I had garlic bread to start with and a 10oz fillet steak medium rare. It was spot on. The beef dripping thin cut fries were sublime too. I would recommend this place for an old school dining experience. The interior feels unique and homely. Like it's been like that for decades but in a nice nostalgic way. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Brought the entire team from India, Romania, and Germany. Everyone was delighted. The place is small and very cosy, the staff are super attentive, fast, and efficient. The food, whether vegetarian or traditional, was extremely good value for money. The beers were fresh and well poured. Overall, highly recommended. Thanks to the Millstone Restaurant team for a lovely evening.

This is our second time at the Millstone, a charming restaurant with attentive, lovely staff. They were happy to accommodate our large group booking at short notice and looked after us very well. Food was imaginative and excellent with a wide range on the menu to suit everyone. Price reasonable for Dublin. Will be back again soon.

Was here with a group of 16 diners for lunch. Had a wonderful time. Staff especially Mattias Andrea and Caroline were super! Nothing was a problem to facilitate everyone in the group. Everyone was able to choose from the differing menus without any problem. Food was freshly cooked beautifully and creatively presented and offered really good value for money given the Christmas period. All in all an excellent experience and everyone in our group was really happy with their experience. Thanks everyone!

Reservations are suggested but we arrived early enough they were able to fit us in without too much fuss and they were very pleasant about it. I had their Guinness beef stew and my wife their salmon. Both were delicious. Portion sizes were good. If I had any complaints, I would have liked another slice of their bread to go with the stew. It was great. But that might have been too much food. Places like this make our trip to Dublin wonderful.

Great food! Each dish was unique and I would have been happy eating any dish my part of four ordered. Definately worth it and we had a lovely time. Water is also included free. My only disappointment was we went here as google maps said they had sticky toffee pudding but they did not. Google maps does not seem 100% up to date in Ireland.

How this place is only rated 4.3 is beyond me. I had to return to this location for a second time with coworkers so they could enjoy this place as well. The food here is honestly the best I had in Dublin; obviously fresh vegetables, tender meat, perfectly seased mash and the sauces are excellent. The bartender also makes an incredible gin cocktail. If in the future I return to Dublin, I will be sure to visit this establishment again.

Stopped by for lunch on a whim, so glad I did! Service was very quick and each dish was so flavorful. Steak was cooked very well, but could have used more seasoning (please note, I like heavily seasoned foods). The dessert was delicious and price was much more affordable than other places in the area for lunch. Definitely stop by!

Ok spot. A little cramped and the food was decent enough, I had the salmon special and my wife had the fillet (Small sirloin was out). It is pretty small so you will have staff all around you serving folks. Dessert was ok, Creme brulee and banoffee. Right on a main street so it was busy.

Fantastic gluten free options, delightful taste. I ate the gluten free toast (best I've ever had), the lamb shank and the creme brulee. Plenty of options, and I'm looking forward to visiting again. Service was fast and polite. They didn't have coeliac beer when I visited but it is on the menu. Highly recommend.

My friend recently went here with celiac and they were fantastic. The woman in the seat next to us was as well and they seemed very accommodating and serious about gluten intolerance.

  • Crystal Walters

This was a comfortable, eclectic more upscale restaurant. It has a dedicated gluten free menu where we enjoyed our first meal in Ireland. My husband enjoyed his stew and my salmon was delicious. We thanked our server for his attention to detail and reminiscing about the water bottle with the pop top tab like grandpa had. The downpour of rain that day didn't put a damper on the day due to the relaxing environment and good food.

  • GARETH THOMAS

Absolutely delicious! The food is extremely tasty and beautifully presented. This is a must visit if you are visiting Dublin. The staff are amazing and we were lucky enough to sit at a table right in front of the chefs. They are outstanding and the camaraderie and team work between them helps to produce a first class meal. A massive well done to each and everyone of you!

I had my lunch here awhile ago. They place a €12.95. signed board for lunch meal. I ordered steak and frites with the same price on their menu. But they charged me €14.95 plus 1 euro for service. Very disappointed! They scammed me! To the management of the restaurant, please be true!!!

Very elegant establishment with wonderful food. I had the oven baked salmon with mash and green beans which was prepared to a very high standard. The Banoffee was a crisp biscuit topped with toffee, bananas and whipped cream, which was delicious but very light. The affordable prices are just a bonus to the best meal I’ve had in Dublin.

  • Cash4gold

The best value for money lunch you can get in Dublin city. I would highly recommend going here, the 8oz burger, chips and sauce I had were only around 13 euro. Excellent spot to bring someone to.

We had dinner here. Looking for gluten free alternatives as well. The Millstone offers that. Good combinations for us. A bit to much sauce on the starter. Can recommend that. Helpful staff. WC in basement. Not to wheelchair friendly. Parking not possible. Bus outside. Close to the castle and temple bar area.

  • Andrew Dos Santos

Have to give this a 1 star because my party and I received food poisoning. Do not consider ordering the seafood chowder. It spoiled our experience in dublin and 2 people could not make the plane and had to spend an extra night in Dublin hugging a toilet.
