Comet

Best meal I’ve had in Dublin

Food was exceptional and service was great!

Absolutely marvelous on all fronts

Top notch grub.

Go before it gets its star

Wow. What an amazing experience. For a newly opened restaurant Comet has the best food in Dublin. Small 20 plus seater restaurant just off Dawson st opened its doors in the last few days. Kevin O Donnell and his wife have arrived home to Ireland to showcase his amazing skills after number of years in Denmark and other countries around the world. For a brand new restaurant the quality of food service and welcome is fantastic. My wife and I had the taster experience menu. Each course was better than the one before. For Helen the Pork shoulder stood out and the crackling was divine. The pork comes from a farm in Co Wicklow where all the pigs run free on the floor of a forest. The flavor was sooo good. My pick of the evening was Hake which tasted of the sea. So so good. I could go on for a long review but I will finish with the service and the staff. Caoimhe looked after us for the evening and her knowledge and friendliness was infectious. I cannot wait to go back again. Best of luck to all in Comet. Try it you won’t be disappointed.

Really good quality and unusual food. Excellent service too.

Food was 10/10 Vegan options were delicious

Incredible. Lovely to see a small independent restaurant in the middle of the city. Support local, support a young couple doing amazing things. Go here! Louisa and other waiting staff added hugely to the night. Thanks a mil/GRMA!

Stunning flavours. Every dish perfectly executed. The quail and the dishes off the grill particular standouts. Also shout out to the tomatoes for being so intensely tomatoey they'd transmogriphyed to another species entirely. If I had to find fault, perhaps some portion sizes a touch ungenerous for the price point. But a minor quibble in the face of such culinary skill.

Had an absolutely amazing lunch at Comet. We had sourdough, butter and liver parfait to keep away the hunger. We then had the quail and confit duck as our mains with the pommes and green salad. We somehow managed a blueberry brown butter cake to finish. Everything was very delicious, one of the best meals we've had in Dublin. Coffee and a glass of very good wine topped it off. Service was friendly and quick. Can't recommend Comet highly enough.

I had a great evening here on Saturday with some friends. The food was delicious and interesting and something a bit new in Dublin. I also loved the warm, chatty hosting from Laura. The wine was also great and fairly priced for a restaurant. I’d recommend the Occhipanto Frappato and the less expensive Merlot which was soft and full of flavour. Great ambiance and great spot.

The food was absolutely delicious and interesting, every staff member was friendly courteous and knowledgeable. We will definitely return!

Lovely lunch yesterday here. We had the chefs choice. Food and wine all superb. V. reasonable price for the quality of food and service you're getting.

Everything we had tasted great. Lot of work and thought going into every detail. 10/10

Outstanding food, exceptional service and a beautiful ambience in this cleverly designed restaurant . The owners should be so proud of what they have achieved here and the culinary skills of Kevin O Donnell are visible in every dish and Laura Chabal runs a personal and professional front of house and a fully accessible bathroom a bonus and so welcoming to all as it should be. 👍Just go .

The BEST restaurant in Dublin right now for relaxed fine dining. Food is outrageously tasty. Depth of flavours and the umami (Roscoff onions with pork shoulder 👌) is really superb. The consistent building spice of the charred cabbage is insane. Champagne menu is out of this world!! Will be back as soon as I can! A star must be coming their way next year

It doesn’t get better than this. The finest Irish ingredients along with exceptional cooking paired with fantastic service and an excellent wine menu. We’re lucky to have a restaurant of this calibre in Dublin. This is exactly the kind of place the Michelin Guide was made for. Considering the quality, attention to detail, and level of preparation in both the food and service, it was worth every penny. We can’t wait to come back!!

An ambitious menu balanced by deeply comforting dishes, all done in a super cozy space with just over a handful of tables. The ever changing seasonal offerings keep the palate engaged and excited, yet everything remains grounded in a sense of warmth and familiarity. My heartfelt gratitude to the all ladies strong team for their grace throughout the evening, thanks a mlillion, cheers! :)

A truly five star dining experience in the heart of Dublin. This is innovative cooking at its finest, perfectly complementing the best ingredients Ireland has to offer. Every dish reflects creativity and passion, with flawless attention to detail from start to finish. I can’t recommend this place highly enough and already can’t wait to go back!

We treated ourselves to lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. The menu on a Sunday was a set selection of dishes which suited us so that we didn’t have to make any decisions and perfect for sharing. It was a lovely experience, the food and wine were delicious and the staff were so friendly and warm. Recommend everyone to try this cosy new spot!

Exceptional, great menu with varied options, and plenty of GF choices. The barbecued savoy cabbage and the Mayan red cake with mezcal caramel were the highlights. Super service in a great setting too.

Amazing food, brilliant service. We had the Sunday set menu - couldn’t fault any dish - very tasty, lots of flavour and very generous serving size, you’ll go home absolutely stuffed. Highly recommend!

Me and my Mrs ate here on short notice , they seated us , the staff were charming and well versed on both the wine and dinner menu . As an ex chef I can’t say all the food was to my taste but it was all perfectly cooked and well executed . It’s fine dining , expect a decent bill , I happily paid and left a decent tip , would go back

Absolutely loved our visit, the food (especially the greengage mackerel, and crab and mushroom starters) where phenomenal. Smiley staff and a lovely setting. You HAVE to get the olives and pickles - never had anything like those green olives.

This is the second time we've dined here for lunch and it was just as spectacular as the first time. I was limited for time and they paced the courses perfectly. The service is very warm and professional. It's a gem in the centre of the city.

Most delicious meal in a long time and different from other places in Dublin. Don't mind the (perplexing) bad reviews - it's not cheap for sure but you'd easily spend as much elsewhere for half the quality and we left happily full.

Went for the Sunday menu last week, couldn't praise them enough. The food was next level and the service was beyond excellent. Look forward to making this a regular spot and can't wait to go and try the Friday dinner menu soon. Do yourself a favour and book in here ASAP.

Sensational meal. Can’t fault a single thing, service was excellent, wine choice by the glass was fantastic, black sole was perfection and it’s absolutely not overpriced - don’t mind the negative reviews. Quality food done well in a beautiful setting costs money to provide and enjoy.

Good. Lovely staff and food was well prepared and executed. The tuna with citrus starter was one of the best dishes I have had in a long time. Just lovely. Two dishes we found were very under seasoned which is really disappointing. Over all, the food was very tasty but a little lacking any edge or depth- bordering on a little boring.

Quail, potatoes and bread were divine! Would have loved the food more if I had forgone the starters which was extremely overpriced, underwhelming and lacked depth and flavour! The service was okay but compared to other restaurants in Dublin of its calibre doesn’t meet the standard required we were only asked about our dishes when we were paying! All in all overhyped, wouldn’t rush back at all but hopefully improvements can be made!

I think its a nice new restaurant but overpriced for what it is and service is not included. Nice starters but nothing wow and I expect something more when I pay 22 euros for a starter. Monkfish Main was really good. In the end we paid for 2 persons for lunch 180€ for olives, 2 starters one main to share and 2 deserts with a bottle of wine. So I went there because I like to try the new restaurants and it has a nice critique but I’m a bit disappointed by the value and in the end service not included.

The food is very good quality and the service is excellent. However, the prices are exorbitant

Didn't live up to the hype, a good restaurant but not a great restaurant. Let down in particular by a mixed bag of service (some excellent and knowledgeable, some not so much). Atmosphere a bit flat but I did go midweek. Paid 200e for 4 courses and a selection of wines by the glass (all of which were excellent)

The food is sensational, and really well thought out. The interiors of the restaurant are great as well. However, we were a party of three who opted for the taster, and the food that was presented was moreso for 2 people. We felt we were being a bit robbed, the food was served slowly, and that leads to more alcohol sales. while we got hungrier. Even the desserts that came out were with two scoops of icecream. The main was duck, which we each got two slices of and a small piece of John Dory. I am unsure if I would return, as the bill was astronomical in comparison to the amount of food we got.

The bread and potatoes were genuinely excellent — fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. The standout, though, was the olive oil ice cream — unexpectedly brilliant and easily the highlight of the meal. That said, the rest of the experience didn’t quite live up to the same standard. There was a clear lack of consistency in the service, and staff didn’t seem confident or knowledgeable about the menu, which made the evening feel a bit disjointed. We’d read a number of reviews suggesting this place might be on track for a Michelin star, but based on our visit, we wouldn’t agree. While there were some lovely moments, it didn’t meet the level of precision, polish, or consistently high standard you’d expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Lackluster food for the price you pay, lacking flavour and seasoning. Service was slow, not very attentive. Honestly, disappointing for the price point.

Poor main course- lamb portion was very fatty and smaller portion compared to our other party

Poor service. Average food overall with the exception of one or two decent dishes. Carte blanche offering isn’t worth it.

Starter courses were tiny. Crab with some mushrooms was actually mushrooms with a little bit of crab. Wagu beef was non existent. Main course of lamb for €42 was 6 morsels of lamb for us. 8 morsels for the couple with us. Theirs was lean ours was pure fat. Only options was for them to comp us or wait 35 mins. Accepted the comp but left starving having dropped €300. Food had potential to be much better than it was. Dramatically overpriced.
