Nassau Street can be on your route by default, the guests' recommendation is to visit this restaurant. Savor French and Irish cuisines that will combine many elements of culinary traditions. The truth is that you will really enjoy perfectly cooked lamb, venison and pork chops. It's a pleasant experience to try good choux, ice cream and croissants. At Library Street Restaurant, visitors may drink delicious wine. It's time to degustate great iced espresso.
The cosy atmosphere of this place makes customers feel relaxed and have a good time. The success of this spot would be impossible without the friendly staff. Cool service is something clients agree upon here. Prices at this restaurant claim to be democratic. The dull decor is not the place's strongest side. Michelin inspectors have visited Library Street Restaurant, so it has got the Michelin selection award.

**Competent cooking, but the service needs work.** We ordered a broad selection of dishes to sample the menu, but unfortunately made it only halfway through the meal. The merguez sausage was tasty, with a pleasant level of spice. The hamachi collar was fresh and well prepared, with especially flavorful, crisp skin. The courgettes were acceptable, although the vinaigrette overpowered them somewhat. The principal problem was a series of communication and service breakdowns. Several items we ordered for the first part of the meal never arrived, including the wine we had selected to accompany the fish. At that point, we were already concerned about how the evening was unfolding. Then the venison arrived with cheese, despite our having explained our lactose allergy at the beginning of the meal and again when ordering each dish and asking whether modifications were possible. After we sent it back, our server asked how everything was going. We explained honestly that there had already been too many mistakes and that, provided the replacement venison and pork chop had not yet been started, we preferred simply to pay for what we had eaten and drunk and leave. To the restaurant’s credit, the staff recognized that we were dissatisfied and offered to comp the meal. We politely declined for two reasons: first, the food we did receive was not bad; and second, I prefer not to accept complimentary meals so that I can write reviews with complete independence. The total for four small “snack” or “bite” portions, one medium-sized plate—the hamachi collar—and two glasses of wine was €76.50. We were not charged for, and did not receive, the remaining dishes and drinks we had ordered, which likely would have brought the total to more than €200. Given the repeated mistakes, we cannot recommend the restaurant and do not plan to return. Nevertheless, we appreciated the staff’s effort to acknowledge the problems and make amends.

(**MUST READ**) I might have to divorce my wife and see if the kitchen staff is single like all of them. My wife is a great cook I mean great. But she will never be able to top what I ate from this restaurant kitchen. This meal easily made my top 5 after the first bite.(Short version: EAT HERE) So the folks at Library st. Have the menu set up as a family sharing style. There are four of us. So we started off the meal with Chicken wings 2 orders. At first I was not sure when it came to the table not your normal looking wing but after I took that first bite my eyes rolled back in my head and I knew I was going on a culinary adventure of delight. Next up was the risotto. This dish was perfectly balanced from the toasting of the rice to the dishes texture and seasonings. Next we got a whole lot of other things I am not going to talk about them all we could be here all day. But I would like to talk about the justice they gave to the pork chop. I feel like sometimes you can taste if the spirit of the animal is mad it got cooked a certain way. You know not seasoned right, dry or undercooked. Like it's sacrifice is for nothing. OH NO!! Not this pork chop from Library Street Restaurant. As I dug into this pork chop presented to me I could sense the soul of this pig just looking down at me and being "Oink Mother F'en Oink, who knew I could be so delicious" and then the soul of the pig went into the light. Because it finished its business and moved on because of the chefs at LSR. It was perfect It comes down to this. I read some of these other reviews. What I saw was that the portion size was not enough for them. That's because LSR is so delicious these customers want more. But hey news flash perfection costs money. I feel my bill was reasonably priced for what I received. I have had to pay more for food no where close to this quality and taste. *6* S *T *A *R*S No doubt - keep up the good work. Also I have no pictures of my food because I was enjoying it. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Delica Pumpkin Risotto, Crispy Chicken Wing Chanterelle and Tarragon Mayo, Chargrilled Monkfish Kale Black Radish Chicken Sauce, Seared Pork Chop with Caramalused Scallions, Fondant Potatoes
