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!

We visited Dublin for new years and were told by many to make sure we got a reservation at the ivy while we were there. It did not disappoint! The ambience was beautiful and our waitress was one of the sweetest and nicest person. The food, drinks, and desert were all delicious! We will definitely be going back if we are ever in Dublin again!
