First time eating here as a coeliac which always comes with its challenges but our waitress Michelle was absolutely on the ball, as soon as I told her about my dietary restrictions she reassured me that it would be no problem and informed me of all the ways in which they avoid cross contamination putting my mind at ease. She was an absolute breath of fresh air with a vibrant and endearing personality and clearly a very hard worker and asset to the team. As a coeliac I would definitely recommend dining here. Thank you Michelle !

Response from the owner

Your kind words about her vibrant personality and hard work mean a lot to our team, and we appreciate your recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hook & Ladder on Sarsfield Street!

An absolute delight! Stumbled upon this place and it is a gem! Staff was warm, friendly and accommodating. Went on a Saturday and was sat right away and they were very busy. The food was delicious, especially the sourdough. This place knows how to do breakfast and their service is down to a science. Eggs were well-cooked, appreciated the streaky bacon. Coffee could be stronger if I had to suggest an improvement.

Would def recommend for breakfast. I would head there again no doubt.

Response from the owner

The place is really adorable, great atmosphere. The menu looks so good, but the food didn't live up to it. It was just okay. The poached eggs in the eggs Benedict were over cooked. The blueberry pancakes were tough like they had been pre cooked and reheated.

Response from the owner

Hi Erin, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We're thrilled to hear that you found our place adorable and enjoyed the atmosphere, but we sincerely regret that the food did not meet your expectations this time, particularly with the poached eggs and blueberry pancakes. Your feedback is invaluable, and we appreciate you bringing these details to our attention; we are always looking to improve our menu and ensure every dish is up to our usual standards. We hope you'll consider visiting us again soon for a better experience!
