Opinions STONE AT RUSTIC Dublin

Place looks great, the staff were very nice. The food was terrible, there was very little of it, it was expensive and 3 of my 5 family members were unable to eat the food and 4 of us got sick after it. Spent the evening in the bathroom and the next day in a plane bathroom. Would say that the menu is very confusing and disorganized. The waiter was very friendly. The place is lovely. Just not advertized as the the type of restaurant it actually is "rustic Irish diner?".

Appalling service. Mediocre food. Will not come back.

Very good food! Nice and friendly service which made our visit even more enjoyable! Pretty atmosphere, just a bit loud but the restaurant was full. We liked it a lot and would definitely come back!!

Wonderful menu and really helpful staff helped us navigate the choices ????

The Rustic Stone is a cosy and romantic place to enjoy dinner and time out with friends and family.
The menu is good, the food is average, however it is relatively priced €€ "compared to the taste and standard."
There are no vegetables ???? available with the different menu. There are no variety of sources for their chicken wings, although the location is good, and the staff team are great with the services rendered, the food itself can not pass the litmus test of a repeat visit. In my own opinion, it is basic and just meet the average pass mark.
There is a lot of room for improvement in the menu. Some vegetables should be introduced to the menu list, and a variety of sources will not do the restaurant any harm.

The food was great ! But I don't recommend the "truffle mayo fries" as it tastes more like mayo than truffle...
The atmosphere is lovely, both at the restaurant and the bar, and the drink menu had a lot of good options.
The service was pretty good too.
I went here to have dinner with my boyfriend and we booked for 8pm, we ended up waiting 30 minutes and got our table later than expected...But the staff were doing there best so in the end it all worked out.

Suuuper delish food - an explosion of taste! Lots of vegetarian options. Also a good prnstar martini to round it up. Winny was a friendly waiter too.

The food was delicious and exciting, the tuna was served with a hot metal plate to cook the fish in the table. They also have a very good selection of Japanese drinks.

This has quite a deverse menu
We booked a table for Friday night and reviewed the menus with the lady on the front desk. The waiter that looked after us Vinny was great but we were disappointed that they withdrew one of the menus and then lied that it was not available on a Friday.

Not cool as they had shared the menu at time of booking.

Highly disappointed, booked a table for myself and my partner for his birthday. The restaurant itself was small, our server, very friendly and apologetic, was clearly stretched having to cover many busy tables. We ordered our drinks and these took 25 minutes to come, and when they did, my drink was incorrect, I understand mistakes happen but tables that had come in and sat after us had their drinks before us. We got our food which was okay but not as good as anticipated. I asked for the bill and paid, which after I then realised it was not our bill, I understand I should have checked beforehand but I would presume I’m being given the correct bill. I brought this to the attention of a manager who said she’d go sort it. Sat then for another 20 minutes with no communication whatsoever from anyone and when I called back the same manager she said she thought it had been sorted. Another female manager came over then and said that she hadn’t come to us because our bill had worked out at €1 more expensive than what I’d paid and acted as if she was doing us a favour by not pointing this out. I would have paid the €1, I didn’t appreciate the lack of communication and thinking I’d be grateful for the “€1” discount. Serious lack of communication from front of house and management. The only saving grace was our wonderful waiter, unfortunately I didn’t get his name but he was lovely

Wonderful tasty food served beautifully. Also, Vladinir was really knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful. Highly recommend.

Amazing evening from start to finish. We had a table booked on Valentine’s Day, the set menu had a great selection with something for everyone. They had a special heart shaped dessert which was very tasty. Ash took great care of us, thank you for making this evening extra special!

One of the best steaks in Dublin. Highly recommended. Also, Veronika was really knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful. Make sure you leave space for dessert, the cheese plate is amazing!!!

Rustic Stone has always been a favourite of our but we are loving the new Japanese inspired flavours, we had a pretty amazing dinner all sharing style, loved the making up the perfect bao ????

Vegan early dinner menu was fantastic! We loved all 5 dishes, were very well sitted and really enjoyed our night. Great service, nice cocktails and delicious food. Will definitely recommend to my vegan friends and will gladly come back

Absolutely disapointing, and I'll take this mostly on Managers/Owners for exhausting their very limited resources. The restaurant has very little space and staff capacity, especially kitchen & bar, but always overbooked resulting in terrible seating and service where you have to wait over 1 hour for food & drinks.

I've been to this place frequently since pre-covid time when it was still Taste upstairs, but since 2023, the service got a lot worst. After last night, I doubt that I'll ever come back.

1. Extremely slow service

- We had to wait over 1 HOUR for our drinks.
We ordered a glass of wine and mocktails at the beginning and they only arrived over 1 hour later after asking multiple times.
- Main courses also arrived 1 hour after order. We basically sat there waiting for 45mins after starters with no drinks, no food.

2. Portion got cut in half, price unchanged

- Crab mayonnaise: back in 2021/2022, the portion included 2 halves of the avocado filled with crab mayonnaise. You can still see it if you dig up some photos here from back then that customers posted. From last year, they only give you 1 half now. And yes, the price is still the same.

3. Overcrowded restaurant with terrible seating

They tried to squeeze in as many tables as possible, which is such a disgrace for the price they charge. We got a tiny table for 2 at the door with 1 seat stuck out of the way and constantly got kicked on when customers and staff walk past.

All off these are not a 1-time thing. Few months ago, we also had to wait really long for food to arrive but the waiter/manager back then (basement area) was apologetic and gave us a free round of drink while waiting, so we thought it was just a bad day for them. This time, it got a lot worst and they still charged us full for a service that was only half delivered.

O que comemos era excelente.

cantidad escasísima de comida para el precio que tienen los platos. 16€ un plato con medio aguacate con tres hojas de lechuga y una salsa... Nos han cobrado servicio de casi 8€ por una mesa de 3 personas, hemos tenido que esperar más de 25 minutos para la comida que era. No lo recomendamos ni volveremos

Great food. Starters (tuna tartare, spicy edamame, grilled peppers) were great. .y tuna main course (on the stone) came with an unbelievable sushi/poached egg/spicy mayo - sounds strange but was so good. My friend had a great rib-eye. Good wine choices too! Went mid week. Service was excellent - professional and friendly.

Travelled to Dublin for the weekend. Hadn't booked a table but were lucky enough to get one when arrived at the restaurant. The staff were excellent the wine was delicious but all of that paled into the distance with the quality of the food. It was all stunning and the beef was someof the best we have ever had. We would thoroughly recommend. Book before you go as it was very very busy when we returned the following evening for a second go at the menu. We had steaks and soft crispy crab.

Had a lovely night in my Christmas party in November. The food was great, especially the chocolate mouse for desert but the service was absolutely disgraceful.

Excellent food and drinks for a reasonable price!

Be daring with menu - trust the kitchen! We were here for Christmas and all thoroughly impressed

We had dinner in this restaurant last night, food is not bad but can’t say it’s good. I had the pumpkin curry.. pumpkin slices were raw, I couldn’t it them. We also asked for a beef dish and we received the pork ribs.. the waiter misunderstood and ok, it can happens but we didn’t receive any discount. We were asked if we were ok with the ribs by the young waiter while he should have apologize and tell the kitchen to make the correct dish we asked for. Wine arrived after we got food because “sorry we only have a bar and the guy is making drinks”. Bad experience.

Elegimos el restaurante como lugar para celebrar un evento especial.
Como muchos lugares nos dieron hora para llegar, las 21’15h, comenzamos a cenar a las 22’00h, por ese motivo no le pongo las 5 estrellas.
Quiero entender que era un día donde hubo mucha afluencia y algo les falló, pues un restaurante donde reservas y tiene distribuidas las mesas y horas debería ser para que la atención sea la adecuada en calidad y servicio.
La comida excelente, eso hay que reconocerlo. La mezcla de ingredientes y la manera de cocinar hace sus platos únicos en mi opinion.
La atención de los camareros muy buena. La que nos atendió fue encantadora y estuvo muy atenta.
La cuenta es alta y eso también se relaciona con el buen servicio. Espero que sirva para que las reservas se atiendan en tiempo.
Recomendado y volveremos.

Un vrai plaisir de s'attabler au stone at rustic à Dublin. La déco y est trop sympa et la cuisine savoureuse.
