Cornmarket 51 on Saturday night.
The owner/host lady was great, we were late because of bedtime fuckacting from the kids. Rang her and voicemail said to text, very responsive, no hassle. all good.
Dining room is Tiny and they max it out maybe 10 tables quite close together but they have lighting and music down. it felt intimate rather than like you were sitting at someone else's table.
Food was excellent. we were so late we skipped starters. So Brill on the Bone and a Njuga cream sauce and mussels, for me monkfish fritters for Mrs. Lovely stuff. the rest of the menu looked great. Venison sirloin, Beef tartre, pickled mussels. Very diverse. it was lovely.
we got a lash of sides, which were big enough for two so we likely over ordered, but no fault. parmesian spuds took some getting used to but overall lovely.
Wine by the glass was same relative price for a bottle, our €11 150ml glasses of Reisling worked out the same as for the €55 bottle.
An excellent basque cheesecake and French Coffee to finish a lovely meal.
Overall servcie was excellent. Its a touch spendy spendy ~€34 for mains, €15/16 for starters but I don't mind that for the quality and it wasn't crazy. They have to cover costs of a small number of covers too I guess.
This place was new to us. Will definely go back
