The Garden Room

We were in Dublin for a long wedding anniversary weekend and were looking for someplace special for dinner. We liked the website for the Garden Room and decided to try it out. Service is very warm and welcoming from the moment you step into the hotel (the restaurant is part of the Merrion hotel). Somehow I was expecting more of a "garden restaurant" atmosphere with a lot of plants so was a tad surprised not to see more of that. But the ambience and food made up for it :) Service is very attentive and forthcoming. I really appreciated the thoughtful and delicious anniversary surprise from the kitchen.

Everything was excellent! The food was truly high-quality and delicious. We tried the lamb, duck, fish, and burger — each dish was carefully prepared and full of flavor. The ice creams were also amazing, both in presentation and taste. Our waiter, Hasan, was very attentive and friendly throughout our visit, making the experience even more enjoyable. We would like to thank him especially for his great service. This place will definitely be one of our top choices for dining, and we highly recommend it to everyone!

Once welcomed we were invited to the outside Garden for a glass, an enchanting and relaxing atmosphere. suddenly the wind rise up and they suggest us to go in bringing the glass to the table where after ordering wine we felt cuddled by the staff, certainly well coordinated, always focus to anticipate our every need. At the end of our wine glass Adrian, the bartender, offers us his signature that was a journey within a journey. crispy, refreshing, intense and with a long finish. Perfect match for our main courses. I have to underline again that The room was supervised by an excellent staff and I asked who the manager was, not present that evening, a certain Adil, to whom I extend my congratulations for having made us feel at home. We will return soon.

Wonderful restaurant situated in the merion hotel. Beautiful food. The staff are very attentive and friendly without exception and will assist you with any requirements you may have. The setting is perfect especially on a sunny day.

The staff is absolutely amazing, the energy of the place is so peaceful, food was a 10/10. I had the best dinner there, thank you so much so the amazing staff, can’t wait to be there again soon!

Fantastic dining experience, extremely attentive and friendly staff. The food was perfectly cooked and delicious. Best meal I have had in a while in Dublin.

The staff is fantastic! Especially our server Marc who was so personable and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. The food was fabulous in particular the massaman curry, thoroughly enjoyed and would reccommend to all.

Delicious steak. Very friendly staff. Nice view of the inner courtyard of the merrion. Very relaxing for an early dinner when in town.

Very nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon , The food was delicious and the staff were helpful & Friendly . we will come back again.

The setting is amazing, the staff is on point. The manager of the hotel is top notch at his job and very polite and friendly. The drinks are just as good as the food and you may just see someone famous if your dining at the right time. Loved it , highly recommend. You won't be disappointed I promise.

This place is so beautiful and nice. The atmosphere smells expensive. The food is delicious and the service was great.

We celebrated a birthday here with a party of seven and it was an excellent experience. Top-notch service, extensive wine list, and a menu that includes 'snacks,' starters, entrees, several vegan options, and a wonderful desserts menu. We had cod arancini, prawns, soup, and a salad to start and all were delicious. Moved on to salmon, fish and chips, mac and cheese, another fish I can't remember right now, and sirloin steak for our main dishes and everyone loved their food. Chocolate fondant and bread pudding for dessert, and again, they were both delicious. They were already out of three items at 3:00pm, which surprised me but didn't affect our experience. Beautiful environment and, again, stellar service.

The Garden Room at the Merrion is a beautiful spot for breakfast or tea. We had breakfast there two of the mornings we were in Dublin and it was lovely. There is a great buffet selection at breakfast with pastries, fruits, meats, cheeses, cereals and yogurt as well as an a la carte hot menu. They make a nice Full Irish and the eggs and salmon were delish as well. Great service and ambiance.

Nice atmosphere and very spacious. Very attentive staff and the food was lovely. Chocolate fondant was the star of the show though. Can go out for a drink in the garden afterwards which is beautiful. Great experience

Lovely room for dinner at the Merrion Hotel, adjacent the garden. We had dinner for 5 with everyone happy with their starters and most happy with their mains: chicken , fish & chips and salmon. The halibut wasn't as well received. It was "watery" according to those that ordered it. We shared 3 desserts and they were all stunning. Beautiful Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

The place is nice. Servers are friendly and food is good. The chocolate cake is thumb eating great!! Dessert is always delight of the day.
