Reviews
"If your ever on a walk along the River Dodder. Which is very beautiful at the point. Weeping willow shaded walk with waterfalls. Your just steps away from one fantastic place. Food service and the beauty of this place will astound you."
"Really nice service, the waitress was super friendly, but food was not up to its name. Fish & chip was not fresh, that fish must stayed in refrigerator for more than 4 days. Beef lasagna has too much sugar in it make me thinking it was made with catchup instead of real tomato. Will not eat in this place again. Give 3 instead of 1 only due to the great service, come on, find a new chef."
"First time at The Dropping Well, I had a positive impression. We did not book; still, the staff managed to find a table for us within minutes. Service was prompt and friendly. Good range of food items on the menu and kids' menu as well. I was surprised by the waiting time; we did not wait more than 6/7 minutes before getting our food. The kids were extremely happy not to have to wait for long. The double back & cheese beef patties burger was great; it was cooked to perfection, juicy, and tasty with a lovely cheese flavor. The fries and peppercorn sauce were good, adequately salted, and in an average portion. The kids mac and cheese were creamy and with a mild cheese taste, perfect for junior customers. The roast of the day was well presented and in a good-sized portion. Overall it was good but on average."
"The ambience of this place is really great. We landed there on a Sunday afternoon while strolling on Milltown Road. We had no prior booking but luckily got a place. The place is packed on Sunday afternoons. The food was great & the service was great too. Their staffers are pleasant and attentive and are happy to explain their menu when asked for. I explained that it was my first time at an Irish restaurant and I’m new to Ireland and the lady politely explained the menu which left me delighted."
