Astons

AVOID! Unless you like your Sunday Roast with more fat and grizzle than meat! The Dublin food scene, with a few exceptions, is ordinary at best and Ashton’s is yet another example that fits that mold. Serving food like this shows zero pride and highlights an unprofessional chef/kitchen staff.

Well well well!!! Took a drive to Ashtons on a Saturday evening booked a table on open table got it no problem! I’ll try keep this short and sweet! Elaine was our hostess/server and she’s class all the time in the world for People and Great at explaining the menus and also for a tour or the place lol (it’s surprisingly big) Christy Browne art etc! The Steak is “unreal” 30oz Cote de Boeuf for two is up with the best in Ireland if not the best! I’ll wager anyone on that! I’ve travelled the world ate steak every where and I’ll put this up there with the very best!! as for the Connemara oysters wow!! You’ll see the steaks aged in the glass fridge and see it cooked in the open kitchen the chefs are great craic too! This place is tops all I can say is FX Buckley move over!!! Just check this place out! Bar was packed with a great vibe it’s all good in Ashtons. I’ll be back and back again thanks gang!!

The crew behind the place did a large renovation and the place is looking magnificent now. Really cosy feel in Tom's bar, staff are amazing, so welcoming and so helpful. Great pint of Guinness! The food in the bar is wonderful. Am yet to check out the restart but really looking forward to it. The river side terrace is beautiful and downstairs is a great events space. It's quickly become our new local and it's down to the attention to detail and the brilliant staff. Cocktails are a hit too.

My friends and I were so looking forward to our Sunday lunch at Ashton’s newly renovated Gastro pub . But we were sorely disappointed ! 4 Sunday roasts €34 and 1 monkfish on the bone €36 . Service was friendly but food was terrible. The monkfish yielded 2 mouthfuls and the roast beef dinner was jaw dropping downright awful. Yorkshire puddings were burnt and inedible ( check photos ) ref was so tough and served almost cold . Veg a disgrace and I meagre gravy also was cold after we had to as fir it 3 times and no horseradish sauce . They ran out out ! Empty pepper mill on table and it eventually arrived when we had decided this was not a meal to be consumed any further . Bill including a nice bottle of wine and 2 beers came to €261 . After a bringing all our issues to managers attention she apologized citing teething problems and when we next returned she would look after us with a complimentary drink !!! Out of the place I thought we would never get and guess what ? We certainly will not be back !

Dropped in for a bite to eat one Sunday to see this revamped pub, being a casual customer to the old pub, I was looking forward to checking it out, decided to have some bar food instead of the restaurant, bad mistake my wife had crab on toast,with duck fat fries, I had beacon on sourdough bread & fries, plus I had a pint of beer & my wife a glass of rose, couldn’t believe the price of the wine, actually thought it was a mistake, €10.80 unbelievable, the food was ridiculous a couple of crispy rashers on a two miserable pieces of bread toasted that it, & the crab, well not exactly fresh / fresh , won’t be going back any time soon. The young staff were excellent & courteous & the beer was cold & fresh. The new old scene IRISH STYLE BAR nice if it was down the country, not sure it fits in too well in this neighbourhood,
