On this occasion we had brunch, two adults and two kids 14 and 9 y.o. Our table was ready on arrival. All food arrived at exactly the same time, and was cooked perfectly. The staff couldn't have been better. It was all very efficient but not rushed. This restaurant is very comfortable and the tables are a generous size. The kids hadn't been before, but want to go back for dinner.

Excellent food with the right size portions for a 3 course meal. The complementary small tasty soup is a lovely gesture and all the courses are beautifully presented and taste great. Warm but unobtrusive service and no rushing customers to get the table back. Highly recommended.

I was very impressed with The Leinster overall. It is a very impressive building. The bar on the ground floor has beautiful decor. The service was excellent. I had a very tasty and enjoyable cocktail called Peach. It was fabulous. I will definitely be back for it again. We went to the 5 th floor then to the restaurant. It was a great experience from start to finish. Eric was the gentleman who greeted us on arrival. He was very friendly from the moment he engaged with us. He sat us to our table. The wine was outstanding. The menu was lovely. So much to pick from. Eric went through each dish in detail with us. He gave us so much time. He was very helpful. We had the Parmesan chicken. Fab dish. Mushroom starter was so tasty. Amazing. It was truly a lovely evening from start to finish. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thanks Denise.
