    Great food. Best staff in Dublin. Prices unbelievable in today's economy. Adults kids everyone had a ball. Every year we're making it our business to have pre Christmas dinner at the Forge. Will eat there at other times but this will be a new family tradition. Best in dublin. The real dublin 11/10.

    Was a regular chop house diner for over 10 years, and this was our first visit to the Cow. Really great to see Joe and the team still there. Food was amazing as usual and service was top class. By far our favourite restaurant in Dublin.

    What a gem of a place amongst so many stones in Temple Bar. We were welcomed from the time we entered. The table was ready for us and the place was warm and well lit. From the menu we had Cauliflower Bites and they were superb. The dip was the lemon dip and was so good. Bothe of us had the Chicken and Mushroom Pot Pie which was really good. It is really exciting to get a dish that was really tasty and while the portion was very good, the dish was so good it left you wanting more. The service from beginning to end was great and really friendly from those who served to those who managed. There was no rush about anything and we felt so comfortable from entry to exit. (Nolita's take note) Thank you for a lovely experience.
