    We had our table booked for 7.15 but got there 10 minutes early, and they were able to seat us early, which was great. The service was great, and our waiter was particularly so, unfortunately, I didn't get his name. The food was lovely and each course came out on time on a very busy valentines evening.

    We had a wonderful time at Woollen Mills. We dined there for Valentine's Day, and the quality of the dishes offered was excellent and very well crafted. The service was attentive and very responsive to our needs. Unfortunately, we had to leave the restaurant because my partner wasn't feeling very well, and even then, the service was attentive. I highly recommend this establishment.

    Without a doubt a must on anyone’s list visiting Dublin, not only for the obvious reasons but for the fact it has amazing staff, brilliant atmosphere and the food and drink are top quality, we were taken back at the quality and portions given to the price paid. We had the pleasure of being on the premises with Conor and his beautiful family, what a gent and what a lovely family. Highly recommend a visit to The Black Forge Inn to any trip to Dublin.
