Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise the Upper Deck Restaurant for its delicious food, particularly the calamari and hearty portions, and its stunning waterfront views. The staff are frequently noted for being friendly and attentive, contributing to a cozy atmosphere. However, some guests have experienced issues with service speed and inaccuracies on receipts, though these seem to be less common than the positive feedback.
"Lovely restaurant with great views of Howth. We get a voucher for here once in a while as a gift and always look forward to it. The food is delicious and the staff are lovely, and attentive, without being on top of you. The only downside is the mash wasn't hot last time, but i'm willing to overlook that..
When you go there, check out the Sangria, absolutely gorgeous."
