I've been going here almost every time I need good food. Their steak on stone never disappoints and their deal is very reasonable. I love their red wines and their toblerone cheesecake.According to my friend who's always critical when it comes to food, its the best cheesecake he's ever had! In addition to that, my bff who's a chef had no complain on her first visit. That says alot😍😍

We had to come back to this place a second time over our weekend in dublin because it was such a lovely spot. Bar staff extremely kind attentive and fast . Always so polite with us nothing was too much trouble . We both got a steak deal that cost 25 euro and comes with three pints of choice I thought this was extremely good value for money and also tasted delicious. Will definitely be returning and recommending to people . All round lovely place .

Came here for dinner and took advantage of their steak deal. What excellent value for money! Any steak (I has fillet, my partner had sirloin) 2 salads, 2 side, sharer dessert and any wine for 70€ The steak came to cook on a stone which was fabulous! Full of flavour and a fun experience. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Would recommend!

On a Wednesday evening, 8th of December 2020, me and my friends booked a table for 4 people, having in mind to order the mid-week deal. The manager was very rude, and stated that the deal was not available during the Christmas period. I asked if he can define the period of time when is the deal available, because I thought is kind of false advertising when on the website and meniu was still available. He got vrey angry and kicked us out, regardless that we book the table a few day prior to this event. I asked him what is the reason for kicking us out and he stated that :"we are very busy" and "we don't serve people who make social media threats". I was very disappointed of his reaction, we left the place without having our dinner. The manager was in his mid 40s, he didn't want to tell us his name. He kicked us out like we were animals. Because we came from different place's around the world, I don't think that's fair to treat anyone like that especially in this type of industry. I work for more than 5 years as a waiter/food and beverage assistant and I never in my life treated people like than. Hope karma will do the same things as he did for us. Very dissatisfied and disappointed

The service was quick and efficient. The steaks although sirloin were great cuts and very tasty served with a side salad and Mashed potatos. They have a midweek special 2 steaks, 2 Salads and a bottle of wine for €39,00. A great choice for a quick but hardy meal.

We chose this place on a whim due to its proximity to our hotel and the fact we wanted a steak. We were not disappointed. They had excellent dinner specials and the steak is served on a hot stone so it cooks as you eat. The Sirloin was plenty big, and sides were also very tasty. A great steak, a bottle of wine and a pleasant atmosphere made for an enjoyable evening. The staff was attentive but not obtrusive. Highly recommend a visit here.

Some family members and friends met at Lotts for a Christmas meal and drinks. Having enjoyed many fantastic evenings here before, there was an expectation that this would be at least as good. I joined the group after everybody had eaten, and was considering having something to eat and drink. Sadly this was not to be...... Staff made no attempt to ask if I wanted to see a menu, or would like a drink, and after half an hour of being ignored by the serving staff, one of our party went to the bar to order drinks. Everybody agreed that the service standards had dropped to a dismal level. Of most concern was the imposition (without any prior notice) of a 10% service charge. This is the most questionable feature of the evening. How can they justify a stealth charge for non existent service?

Hi Pat , I am sorry to read your review and I am not aware on when this was - if you can email more details of what date you were in and where your group were sitting I will report back to you . On the note of the service charge it has been printed on every page of our menu for the past 6 years , please note there is a service charge of 10% on all tables of 4 or more . I hope you respond to me and I will reply

Unfortunately our overall experience wasn’t very positive. It’s important to say from the beginning the food was flawless and really enjoyable. We attended the Lotts as a group of 5. We had a Dine In Dublin Voucher, gifted to us by a family both my wife and I helped out from there time in need after a recent bereavement. My wife searched the Dine In Dublin to check if the Lotts was on it based on some positive recommendations based on the food, as you can see from the pictures they were. After sitting in the snug for a period of time with some relaxing and enjoyable beverages, we proceeded to our booked table, which also alerted them in the Lotts that we had a voucher, this was also displayed on the booking sheet on our table. When we got the attention of the floor/waitering staff after a considerable amount of time, my wife presented the voucher from Dine In Dublin to him, he replied no bother, keep it to the end. Once again after another period of time left unattended we were required to chase the staff to ask could we place a beverage order, followed by a food order. Food arrived. Faultless, flawless, delicious, amazing. (Different staff member) served us on a number of occasions who was a delight and 100% represents the typical Irish hospitality we all come to love and expect. Now moving on to where the poor service by some turned to shocking outcome. The Dine In Dublin voucher that was gifted to us by a grateful family wasn’t accepted because the management and owner (as per management) stated they weren’t signed up to this scheme, despite displaying it to the not so friendly staff member prior to ordering, despite it been all over the Dine In Dublin website (screenshots attached). Overall this was an unforgettable experience that will leave a sickly taste in all our mouths, the poor service could be overlooked by the amazing food, but the negative ending can’t be forgotten weather it’s the Lotts or Dine In Dublin that are at fault the customer service experience wasn’t positive and would encourage me to not recommend this establishment to others.

Hi Greg - in my Opinion your review is completely inaccurate as I have already explained to your wife -you made a huge mistake of purchasing a voucher for €200 from a website that clearly does not have us listed in participants of any voucher scheme . People reading this false news should go to Dine in Dublin and see several high quality eatery’s listed , which we are one of up to a hundred . Then they have a “selected list of participating restaurants that accept Dine in Dublin vouchers …..WE ARE NOT LISTED AS ONE … in your review you never mentioned this . If I bought a voucher for Marks & Spencer’s I can’t use it in Specsavers !!!!!!

Great pub restaurant with a good menu. We went on a Saturday night and it was very busy but we had reserved a table so we were shown to a table and browsed the menu whilst enjoying a drink. We both chose the steak on a stone and this was perfect! We could cook to our liking , and that was part of the enjoyment Would definitely recommend

Chosen mostly for the proximity to our hotel which turned out to be great. Local rather quaint, not particularly frequented by tourists, with friendly and kind staff. A large ceasar salad, fish and chips, two rockshore beers for a total of about 47 €.

We had dinner here on recommendation. From Monday to Wednesday there is a menu for €39 We took advantage of the €49 offer by exchanging the wine for two pints of beer. Good. Desserts a little heavy although good.

There was a lady who worked at the bar who seemed quite senior, but she was very rude. I was very surprised when we asked her if she have Moretti she said no, then we aske did she had Peroni and she replied no, with a sort of half laugh reaction. I don't know what that was about but she was the opposite of friendly and accommodating. She doesn't offer a good first impression and we certainly won't be back as a result. A shame really, as it's a beautiful bar. The gentleman who worked at the bar, however, was very pleasant.
