Another superb lunch experience with friends in Chez Max today. Beautiful food and drink, lovely service from all the staff and a delightful warm escape from the miserable weather. Well done Chez Max on another great meal!

We went for my friend's birthday celebration. I booked for 4 adults, but we came with a 5month old baby with carriage. Was told 'you didnt book with a baby'. I felt embarrased infront of everyone. By the time we got a table, the party next to us have the same situation, a baby with a carriage. I need to know what's the drama behind booking with a baby. The hot drinks and pastries were ok at best. Scone for €5.5? It should be one of the best, but no. We have to ask for 2 hot drinks twice that werent served. The place is crowded and cramped. I dunno if this is usual. But I feel cramped in a canteen. The staff were nice and attentive. But the hard product was a complete contrast. I wil cancel the 2 bookings of afternoon tea after this experience. For almost similar price, just go to the nearby hotel.

Ate in front bar. Great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly attentive staff.

I was delighted by this oasis on the upper floor of Arnotts. The setting, decor, and service are perfect. I would expect to pay a premium for table service restaurants in the city centre, but it was very reasonably priced. There is a good choice of honemade pasta, pizza and salads, but with more interesting and good quality ingredients such as nduja sausage, Burrata cheese, artichoke and prosecco cream sauce. Delightful selection of flatbreads, dips, and drinks too. The pistachio ice-cream tartufo was sublime and generously portioned, at only €8. Low key jazz music was a welcome balm to the ears compared to the usual blaring cacophony one must endure in even the nicest cafés and restaurants. I congratulated the manager on such a well executed establishment. I will return.

Never a bad experience. We frequent DB every time we are in Dublin. The experience is always satisfying. We had dinner reservations for a Friday night (highly recommended). Quick to seat and serve us. Delicious food. Great drinks and the staff is always friendly. Will return. Family of four adults.
