there was a review in last Sunday's Business Post, a good one as far as I can remember.

For what it's worth I think that Tom Doorley in the Irish Times also gave it a good review the other weekend too.

Had lunch there just after it opened. Fabulous! Enjoy!

Very mediocre review in Friday's Irish Indo magazine

Brasserie Sixty 6 is awful. Poor and arrogant service. Went for brunch and waiter was hungover. Had about six waiters who constantly brough wrong things - including arrogance - to the table. French toast isn't two slices of Brennans bread - well not when it's €9.50. STAY AWAY. DON'T GO. I've heard other similar stories since. Several people refuesed to pay for poor service and tiny portons. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Not often do I agree with a totally negative view.
However I agree totally that this 66 place is awlful for all the reasons listed above. I eat out in central dublin at least once a week, and this was the worst experience Ive had for years.
Had a reservation for 7:30 on a sat night. Arrived on time. So did around 100 other people, but ALL the tables were taken up with customers who came in at openingtime of 6pm. We all crowded into a bar area, had to harass staff continiously till we got a table at 8:15. Food arrived back to back, and by 9.15 they were looking for the table back! Naturally I told them to get stuffed, and sat back and took my time over coffee. By this stage the 9:30 bookings had arrived and they thronged all around reception and bar,and seemed to grap tables themselves as people vacated. As we ran out of the place around 10pm, the place was like a football match scrum. Rushed over to the 'old stand' for a recovery pint and swore I'd never go there again.
Cant remember the food - it seemed irrelevent!
Cancel and go somewhere that treats you with respect.

Wow! 100 people queing for something to eat. Anyone interested in exploring the possibility? Seriously!

I have heard that the service is very bad at times, we were fortunate when
we were there.
The policy of not taking bookings means that it is bound to be bedlam at
busy times, I would not choose to wait for a table, but obviously plenty
of people are. Dont forget they are all choosing to wait until a table becomes free, no-one is making them wait.
I thought the food we had was very good and very good value.
They have nots of tasty bangers and mash, great chicken and the best
chipsI have had in a long time.

I have just noticed that runner did have a reservation and they were made
wait for a table, that is very bad. I was told that they didn't take reservations
and it was a case of waiting for a table to come up.

I inquired there before about making a reservation for the upcoming Saturday night and was told rather haughtily by a Maureeeece type that they were fully booked as they were only open a while and were very popular. I don't get it - did they change their policy? Do they take bookings or don't they?
 
Re: Brasserie Sixty 6.. Georges st, Dublin 2

It seems to have got a good review here (dated Dec 2005) [broken link removed]
 
Re: Brasserie Sixty 6.. Georges st, Dublin 2

Yes they take bookings.
We tried previously on a Sat night and were told you needed one, also tried it on spec another Sat night on walk by and said it was fully booked.
As far as I could gather, everyone arriving at 7:30 had bookings, and they were all equally p****d off that their table was not reserved.
Perhaps other nights of the week are not as full and no booking required and no hassling to leave your table after an hour!
 
Re: Brasserie Sixty 6.. Georges st, Dublin 2

Also heard great things about the food but was warned re the service.
Unfortunately I can attest to the shocking service, but didn't stay long enough to sample the food. Waited 30 minutes (would have left after 15 but I grudgingly stayed at request of the girlf) then walked, not even a drinks order taken at that stage and noone seemed to care.
The sad thing is there were two other to take our place once we walked out and it will continue like this until people vote with their feet, then again for this to happen at a hyped restaurant in disposable income Dublin..
 
Re: Brasserie Sixty 6.. Georges st, Dublin 2

I wouldn't, if I were you. Myself and my girlfriend got food poisoning there on Valentines Day. Not impressed and they didn't want to know when I rang to tell them.
 
Re: Brasserie Sixty 6.. Georges st, Dublin 2

I have been there 3 times having given them the benefit of the doubt the 1st and 2nd time and the service is the worst I've ever experienced. Arriving on a Sat night with a booking for 9.30pm for 9 people for a family birthday we had a horrendous time. We ended up waiting in the porch til 10.15pm and kept being told there were still people at our table - if they have sitting it's up to them to manage them. They then tried to seat us at a table for 7 and told us they could fit the other 2 in on the corners! The place was like a bus station and anyone seated at the front of the restaurant had throngs of people around them. When we pointed out how they could have handled the situation the rude c*w of a maitre d' pointed at my husband and told him she didn't need to be told how to treat her customers. We ended up eating our mains at 11.40pm! I emailed them afterwards and they didn't reply, I then printed off the email and posted it to them and heard nothing. That was in feb and I will never set foot in it again!!
 
Re: Brasserie Sixty 6.. Georges st, Dublin 2

Agree with all the above. Dreadful, haughty service, treated us as though we should have been glad to eat there.

Brought several dishes to the table that had definitely not been ordered, and was told, oh alright, well I'll just leave it here for a while, I've other tables to serve.

I made damn sure we weren't charged for it, but it was offputting to say the least to have a)needless dishes cluttering our table, and b)anticipating a row over paying for food we didn't order.

I won't be going back.
 
Re: Brasserie Sixty 6.. Georges st, Dublin 2

Yup. Another agreement with all the above. There two months ago. Food was good, wine reasonable, staff friendly. But left waiting around in bar for reserved table, competing with other diners to grab those that came free, and service was slowest I have ever come across. Extraordinary that the place is still going. Is it still jammed to the doors? Weird.
