Brasserie Sixty 6.. Georges st, Dublin 2 Anyone been here?

First went there for Xmas work do.......15 of us. Thought food was fabulous and well presented.......Heard that the service was slow but considering it was a table of 15 during the main xmas work do season we were well looked after.

Some really good art work on the walls too except for the bull dog......whats that all about.

Been back once since then, food still good service reasonable the art work hanging in the bar area to die for!!!
 
Ate in here with a group of 7, 4 women and 3 blokes. Meal was at 6 pm so was not expecting service to be bad. Food was very good had the mussels and the monkfish. Desserts not the best selection. Service was good but then again we were a very early sitting not sure what it would be like later on??

Might take the missus there and see. Left at 8.30(missed the first half of the Arsenal game !!!) & the place was packed

Do people not cook in anymore?

Overall not as bad as I thought after reading this thread. Maybe a saturday night sitting may be something different??
 
Went for a 9.30 sitting on Sat and the service was not so bad. Had to Queue to get into the front door ?? Took about 20 minutes to get served and no bread but overall was pleased with service.The special I got was very charcoaling taste but other than that not so bad

Was my birthday so missus paid and they gave us back a fiver to much in change so they got a bigger tip. Then went to the market bar for a few pints

So was expecting service to be slow but pleasantly surprised it was not. Arsenal also won so a good weekend for me

Off to Trocadero on Monday for an early bird meal reviews look good
 
My wife was there on Friday evening with a group of ten from work. They arrived at the correct time to be told that someone had called to cancel the reservation (which was incorrect). Asked to wait. Seated 45 minutes later. Two bottles of free wine given for the inconvenience. Service very slow. Food only fair.

They got the impression the place was being run by young ones who did not see anything wrong with people waiting 45 minutes to be seated. Like Tiger Becs in Dawson Street.

She and her work colleagues got a very poor impression of the place.

And, yes, it was packed. When will people learn?

Maybe they feel that they are getting good food at reasonable value. If the place is that busy then they must be doing something right! People generally vote with their feet. I have no connection to the place but I have eaten there twice and found the service and food to be excellent on both occasions. Admittedly both times were on Sunday nights when the restaurant was quiet.
 
I ate there on Sunday last for about the 3rd time in a year. The place was 'buzzing' lots of post match people there I think. However, I noticed that the staff dealt admirably with the crowds. We got a table without booking although they did want it back in a hour and half which was fine. The food was excellent and presentation very good. Wine a little on the expensive side. Overall a pleasant experience and I shall go back!
 
Ate there 2 weeks ago and seems they might have improved from what other people are saying! Place was bustling but nobody seemed to be waiting on tables. Food tasty and service was with a smile. i enjoyed the experience, thought it would be a good place for a girls night out.

Ah jeepers Gunner, you can't be as tolerant as that with what seems like average or poor fare.

Anyway, went there before Christmas with the gf and it was jammers but we were lucky, or so we thought, when we arrived on spec on a Saturday night about 8 pm in mid December to find they had a table for 2. Didn't have to wait long. Had a G n t at bar, and table was ready in 10 min. Told we had to have it back in hour and half but was ok with that. As i say place was full probably office parties etc but the service was still pretty OK.

Anyway my lamb was inedible. Every mouthfull was grizzle. Then, 'cos of proximity of tables, got talking to 2 other girls who were carnivoring away at the table next to us and they had also decided that their meat wasn't up to scratch and promptly returned theirs for fresh.

I let the waiter know when I had finished and he complained that I should have said something earlier. Not really practicle as my gf's fish was ok and I didn't want to stagger the dinner esp as it was just 2 of us. Anyway they took the meal off the bill and had inadvertently not charged us the drinks at the bar until I brought it to their attention. Don't think we'll return esp after reading the other tetimonies. Food is overpriced for what it is. Plent of really good value to found around the town.

BTW the Arrogant Frog was gorgeous. That's not the french wiatress but the inexpensive red.

So you said the service was OK and your gf's meal was fine. Your own meal was inedible but you ate it anyway and then complained! They then did not charge you for your meal and accidently gave you free drinks which you should have paid for by the way! What more could really be expected of the restaurant? Yes the meal should have been better but they could have rectified this if they were aware of a problem. I should add that I have no connection or affiliation with the place but it appears they did all they could in this instance.

You do seem a little sensitive. Please, read my post properly before administering your mores. I paid for the drinks after bringing it to their attention. Having to hand a meal back to the kitchen to be redone is not really acceptable (I'm not going to make my gf wait the 20 min). It should have been right when it hit the table. Also, I gave the meat a bit of a chance so it wasn't till about quarter of the way into the meal that it was obvious. The 2 meat dishes next table (though we were almost eating at the same table they were that close) were bad too.

The food (bar my lamb) is average and for what it is, over priced. It seems it suffers a bit from not being able to serve the numbers it craves.

I still say (I'm only saying) you can get better elsewhere for less.
