Town Bar and Grill

Town Bar and Grill Review

Even basements can surprise, and an old wine merchant's cellar on Kildare Street has been transformed into this cozy, modern-Italian trattoria. The elegant, New York-vibe dining room has a definite buzz, with live music some nights and numerous Irish celebrities have already made this a regular haunt. Chef Philip likes to take traditional Italian classics and give them a little—just a little—twist. The roast breast of wood pigeon with chestnut lasagne and Cumberland sauce is one of the most exciting starters. For mains try the char-grilled veal loin with almond potatoes, wilted spinach, and salsa verde. Pecan pie with ginger, cardamom ice cream, and confit orange is a nice guilty way to finish.
