   We brought two guest with us from the United States. They were blown away by the interior and the overall ambience of the restaurant we had good meal and had a good service. There was one problem a cocktail was served in a cracked glass, which was replaced when pointed out.

   Great food with excellent service in a very charming environment- only the music didn't fit at all.

   18 euro for a Flatbread which is basically a bad lump of small dough, 3-4 olives, 2-3 bits of pepper and indescribable cheese on top As for the "wagu" beef burger😃 this place has notions of the highest order, won't be back.

   Greta venue and food (service food have been a bit better as hard to get the attention of the staff for drinks) and the background music was very loud. Will be back and will ask to turn down the music.

   Staff were very lovely and helpful but it was very understaffed, not enough servers or bar staff to accommodate so many people and families on a match day in the Aviva Food was excellent Would come again, just not on a rugby game day
   

   The Schoolhouse DublinResponded on April 16, 2025

   Dear Aisling, Thank you so much for your kind words about our staff and food, we’re really glad you enjoyed your meal and felt well taken care of. You’re absolutely right that rugby match days around the Aviva have a unique energy, there’s a real buzz and it brings a whole different vibe to the area! On these days, we do bring in more staff and offer a special match day menu to keep things moving. We’d love to welcome you back on a quieter day so you can enjoy the full experience at a more relaxed pace. Thanks again, and hope to see you soon! With love. from our house to yours, The Schoolhouse Team

   Beautiful setting and nice and warm, but, the food was not great overall, €126 for 3 people with 1 starter to share, 1 drink and a bottle of water, no deserts, while one of the steaks was tasty the other was 40% fat and grizzle, presentation was also very poor as the steak covered the little bit of veg that came with it so when it arrived all you could see was the steak and a small tub of pepper sauce and a bowl of chips on the side, and all this for €36.50, ridiculously over priced.

   Dear John, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed our warm and beautiful setting, but we’re truly sorry that your meal did not meet expectations. We take great pride in sourcing high-quality, locally sourced meats, so it’s disappointing to hear that one of the steaks did not meet our usual standards. We will certainly review this with our kitchen team to ensure consistency. Additionally, we appreciate your comments on presentation and will take them on board to enhance the overall dining experience. We regret that you won’t be returning, but we do appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us improve. Warm regards, The Schoolhouse Team

   Busy but service was distracted and not very responsive

   Thank you for your feedback. Match days are always a busy time for us and we had a reduced menu in place to help ensure efficient service. However, we’re truly sorry that we fell short and that our service did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your honesty and will use your feedback to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Warm regards, The Schoolhouse Hotel Team

    We booked a table for two to have an early lunch before the rugby match. When we arrived it was busy with many people going to the match having drinks and some like us having food. The greeting was friendly and warm, we were shown to our table where we ordered drinks. The menu as we were told in advance would be restricted but there was still a lot on it, I had the Hake with wonderful vegetables and boiled new potatoes. The sauce was excellent with mussels and many other interesting ingredients, my friend had the Wagu burger and chips which he also enjoyed. The service was prompt and professional. The overall experience was very good and the quality of the food on what was a busy Saturday was excellent.
