    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.

    My husband really enjoyed his food i was disappointed as some of my wings were stone cold which I found very strange as the rest were lovely and hot. I was also disappointed with the chicken pot pie I had it before and was alot nicer and flavour was nicer. This time I found it was bland I actually had to use salt on my dinner and I never use salt and found the sauce was very thick compared to before. Recipe could of been changed from last time I had it. It wouldn't stop me from eating there again as I do normally really enjoy my food.
