   First of all the staff were delightful! Offer us Sunday roast when the hour had expired. She knew how badly we wanted it and how disappointed we were not to be able to order it. It was the most delicious Sunday roast both of us had ever had anywhere!!! Everything was cooked just right!!! The veggies were so yummy too. My favorite Dublin area restaurant!

   Myself and three friends had lunch recently in Rolys Bistro. We were very impressed with the setting, atmosphere and service. The food was top class, plentiful and presented beautifully. Looking forward to our next visit.

   Roly’s is famous and rightly so for all the right reasons - excellent service and excellent food. The main dining room is lovely decorated like a French bistro with nicely spaced tables. The service was perfect from the moment we arrived when our costs were taken. immediately we sat down we were offered water and given the drinks and food menu. Within a few minutes we were offered a choice of breads and had ordered our wine - a reasonably priced Pinot Grigio which my partner was offered to taste soon afterwards. We ordered our food which also was served within 5-10 minutes - pate and mushroom soup - both excellent. For mains we chose venison and salmon both excellent. Portions were medium sized but cooked to perfection. We shared sticky toffee pudding and ice cream for dessert. We really enjoyed our visit to Roly’s and highly recommend that you try it

   I recently booked a table at Roly's Bistro through OpenTable and received a confirmation. I called the restaurant to amend the time of my booking, and during the call, I had to repeat and spell my name six times while explaining the change. After speaking to two people, I was informed that my booking wasn't there. A new booking was made for the requested time, and all seemed fine. Upon arriving at the restaurant at the specified date and time, I was greeted by a rude concierge who almost dressed me down with his eyes. He asked me to repeat my name four times and claimed he couldn't see my reservation, though it was clearly visible to me. He finally found my reservation and very rudely called a staff member to show me to my table. The staff seemed very unhappy, and it was rare to see a staff member with a smile on their face. The food was served in a rush, and my main course of battered hake and chips appeared reheated. The batter was soggy, the chips were lukewarm, and the mushy peas seemed microwaved. The only enjoyable part was the pint of Heineken. I doubt I'll return to Roly's Bistro.

    Rolys bistro usually always delivers on value however their valentines offer whilst quite expensive for two course meal delivered quite small offering…in fact I ordered beef and it was more like a starter portion then a main…with four pieces of broccoli for two people and what can only be described as carrot resembling baby food it was quite underwhelming saying that the quality was good…but it’s not too often I leave Rolys hungry…desert was nice and staff were ah amazing
