Restaurants near Halfpenny Bridge Holiday Homes, The Temple Bar Apartment

Amazing venue, Michelle are server was great and very helpful , pizza was to die for.

We were lucky to get a last minute booking for three last night. Had tried a number of times during week but no table available so it pays to keep looking at Opentable in case a table becomes available. The manager was very friendly and gave us a lovely table just inside the front window and recommended a lovely red wine. Our meal was very good but the experience was made special by the exceptional service we received from the lady who served us (forgot to get her name). They even brought down a small desert and sang happy birthday to one of our party. There was a lovely buzz in the restaurant. Highly recommend and will be back yet again.

We booked a table for my nephews birthday, 9 of us attended. Had to wait until bang on 7 to get the table. Food was lovely. Garlic bread kept on coming. Everywhere you looked, there was garlic bread. Coeliac options were there aswell. I got the piri piri chicken, sauce on side was so spicy. My hubby got the striploin, well done. We shared. Would defo go back.

I booked kickys for 6 of us for my partners birthday. From start to finish the experience was 5 stars. Welcomed by lovely staff who took our coats and showed us to our table. They explained the menu to us and took drinks orders, giving us time to decide on our meal. The tasting menu was €79 and gave you a chance to try nearly everything on the menu, which was incredible value when you look at the individual cost of each dish. The pace of the tasting menu was something I was particularly impressed with. I have done tastings in other restaurants and have felt rushed to finish and absolutely stuffed to the gills after, but in Kickys we were given plenty of time to savour each dish and relax between servings. At no time did we feel rushed or under pressure to give back our table etc. The music was chilled when we came in to eat and picked up a bit as the night went on which I thought was a clever touch to pick up the atmosphere as it got a bit later. I told our waiter that it was my partners birthday and they came out with a candle and cake and all the staff sang to him, including the chefs who gave it socks from the kitchen. Overall, the meal was expensive but considering the quality of both the food and service I would say excellent value for money. I will definitely be returning for my next occasion dinner.

We decided to share a VCC Sharing platter and it felt like it was the right decision in order to get the best of everything. It was all freshly prepared and delicious, the only word of caution would be that the sliders are more on the juicy side, so plate and napkin advised! The playlist was also very enjoyable and the staff were incredibly kind, always cautioning us if a drink was going to be spicy or bitter. Overall it was a marvelous evening.
