Christmas special looked good on paper. 45 Euros per person. Calamari was good and decent portion. Bruschetta was a piece of bread with cherry tomatoes, nothing special. Main pasta portion was tiny. Chicken leg looked like a pigeon leg. Tiramisu was excellent. They forgot to bring bread to the table, neighboring table got some. It was a pricey meal, left hungry.

Food was okay. A bit pricy for what you got, but it was Christmas, so that was okay. Service was kind, but very slow. Again it was Christmas so that was fine too. They added a service charge which is not customary in Ireland. Not cool. I was going to tip because again it was Christmas, but I don’t appreciate when it’s added already. We didn’t have a large group.

The appetizers were lovely. The rest of the food was a disappointment. The mushroom pasta was paste like and over cooked. The advised us they could not sell wine because of Christmas. However, they would bring us red wine. They brought out the wine in small tea cups about 4 ounces each. They then proceeded to charge €13 for each tea cup. The profiterrole desert was basically food service purchased puffs and nothing special. The tiramisu had extremely dry pastry on the bottom and lacked flavor. Given it was Christmas night glad they were open. However, we would have been better served getting sandwiches from Spar.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience. I explained that it was a birthday celebration and asked for happy birthday to be put on the dessert. The restaurant was so busy that we were given a table that was for four and they just split it. We had to hand The plates over the head of other customers to the waiters and the dessert came out without my Happy Birthday request. This restaurant focus seems to be on taking in as many people as possible and not caring about the quality of service and customer experience.

I Monelli is very atmospheric, and used to be a much better place to dine. On this occasion, the service was chaotic and disorganised, and the dishes, particularly the main courses, sea bass (reluctantly filleted) and chicken in a mushroom cream sauce, were nowhere near the standard you would expect in a Dublin restaurant in its price category. We were hungry but neither of us cleared our plates. Perhaps the experience would have been better if we had stuck to pasta?
