Wow! Exceptional service and top-quality food! We can’t believe we’ve only just discovered this place. The waitstaff were incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived until the end of our meal. And the food — absolutely phenomenal! We’ve dined at many restaurants around the world, but this was hands down the best steak we’ve ever had. After dinner, we enjoyed some time at the bar, soaking in the live music, sipping cocktails, and admiring the beautiful garden view. Huge thanks to Fire Steakhouse for the impeccable service and an unforgettable experience!

Had a fantastic experience here, the starters were delicious. The steak was perfect, really enjoyed the beef dripping chips and the macaroni and cheese. The deserts were also great and really good value. The service was some of the best we have ever experienced. The staff were all welcoming, warm and attentive, from the doorman to the hostess and wait staff. Would really recommend this place to everyone. Cocktails were also tasty and we found it great value for money.

A very nice experience with excellent food and outstanding service. The environment is nice, albeit a little tight on space. The prices are on the higher side, but the quality is really nice. The staff were very attentive and responded very well to a request from one member of the group with a dietary restriction.

Never a bad experience. We frequent DB every time we are in Dublin. The experience is always satisfying. We had dinner reservations for a Friday night (highly recommended). Quick to seat and serve us. Delicious food. Great drinks and the staff is always friendly. Will return. Family of four adults.
