    They shut down and neither the restaurant nor open table notified me. Imagine getting to the door to find that out on Christmas Eve in Dublin

    The restaurant closed. No contact was made with me for a Christmas Eve family dinner. We were completely in the dark. This caused a lot of upset. Very sorry for the workers involved who bear no responsibility Appalling business ethics by the company involved.

    The Green Hen, despite taking my credit card to hold the reservation, is permanently closed, apparently due to a tax issue with Revenue. Do NOT make a reservation here.

    Restaurant closed and didn’t contact about booking. Was unable to make a new booking due to their cancellation policy on this app. Restaurant should be removed from app

    Extremely disappointing to arrive and see the restaurant closed Did not receive any notification or email to let us know but if we were late or cancelled we would have been charged! We were truly saddened for the staff and owners at this time to have to close this beautiful restaurant

    It was closed. Apparently had been operating without a liquor license for 2 years and was closed by the courts the day before.

    Very very disappointing,waiting over 30mins for starters,very mediocre.Mains were awful,chicken was cold and and lacked any flavor,my husband had the pork chop it was like rubber and again no flavor.No one came over to ask how our food was ,and even we we asked for bill again no question as to how was everything for you .To top it off we were seated upstairs where it was freezing cold . A complete waste of money and time ,will tell everyone to avoid this place .
