Have gone to Roly's every Christmas for the last 5 years. This year was sadly quite disappointing - a 15 minute wait to be seated, very gruff manager, starter missing ingredients (requested chicken with Caesar salad), wrong main delivered, dessert poor quality, coffee offered but never arrived. Individual staff were very pleasant and took incorrect items off bill very apologetically. Setting, as always, very nice! Overall very poor - won't be returning next year.

My husband and I went to Roly's to celebrate the conclusion of my law school final exams. It was our first time visiting. The inside is cozy and nice looking. The food was absolutely outstanding: everything from our appetizers to our desserts was fantastic. The service was such a bummer. I am not sure if it was because we were an obviously gay couple or because we were not as well-dressed as other folks in the restaurant, but I had to flag down servers a number of times. Other tables, especially those that seemed to be regulars, appeared to be receiving a high level of attention. I had to ask if we could order dessert twice and then, after waiting about 15 minutes for it to come out, I had to ask after the dessert itself. I had to ask for the check twice as well, and we were also billed incorrectly, so then I had to ask for the check to be reissued. The food was some of the best we had in Dublin, but as we were not made to feel welcome, I am not sure that we'll return.

The menu is basic - suitable for this bistro style environment but the food quality & taste was also basic. Good but not great - fish cakes & chicken wings overcooked. The service was spotty which no doubt resulted in lost opportunity to upsell. The manner of the manager / supervisor upon leaving & seeking to pay the bill was dismal - no eye contact & no spoken words.

ROLYS have kept their standards consistently good over many years . Thus year was no exception . Food ( scampi dublin bay prawns ) is one of the few places left in dublin to serve scampi with dublin bay prawns . Service excellent by 2 Spanish waitresses from Madrid & Malaga . Wine is much too expensive by the glass - obviously 3 times of a bottle price . This should change .

Was looking forward to finally eating at Roly’s but sad to say we were disappointed. The food was ok but the service was …spotty. The food came out too fast (“we need to turn this table over” vibes) and then we waited a long time to be seen to after that. My friend had to ask for the bill four times. Also, it was SO LOUD. I don’t think I’ll be back.

Food was good but the staff either lacking in training/experience and others were just extremely rude. We had a booking for 5:45 but the lady on reception repeatedly told us the restaurant didn’t open till 6pm yet we and other guests behind us had bookings for 5:45. She was extremely rude about this mix up which was clearly theirs in the making, could easily have been sorted but instead she decided to argue with us.

The general experience was positive with the exception of a rude bar man who while sitting at the downstairs bar continued throwing empty bottles into a bin creating unnecessary noise while also being dangerous for bar staff cleaning or emptying the bins due to broken glass - thoughtless
