A bit of a let down if I’m honest. I planned our trip to Dublin for our 27th Anniversary for months. Reservation and excitement building for months for Pichet. When we showed up, our table was one in the middle of the dining room surrounded by other tables and definitely not special.
We showed up 15 minutes early so parked at the bar and ordered a few cocktails from the bar. I didn’t want to be late since the instructions were clear. The bar was fine. Once we were escorted to our table I was so disappointed to be sat at a table in the middle of the dining room. I made our reservation early and added that it was our 27th anniversary so hoped for a decent table and a little extra love but no.
Good was good. To be fair the beef short rib appetizer and venison main were really tasty so the food didn’t let the place down. Service was adequate. I didn’t feel a need to order anything more so dessert wasn’t on the agenda.
So for me, yeah, food was good but not worth a second visit based on my overall experience. I appreciate it for what it is but it is nothing more special than the many places I’ve visited in Dublin. We’re headed to Pickle tomorrow and hope
That makes up
Some of our letdown at Pichet. Not sure how it had the Michelin distinction. Especially not worth a visit on a special occasion. We were left with two sad jellies on a plate. Hmmm.
