Frommer's Review
This is just what Dublin needed: a price-conscious, darling little bistro and wine bar that endears itself to everyone. The wine's the thing here, so relax with a bottle of bordeaux or Côte du Rhône and nibbles from the menu. There's a lovely cheese plate named for West Cork cheesemaker Bill Hogan, superb Iberico hams from Spain, or, if you prefer, the small dining menu offers bistro favorites such as Gravad Lax and blinis or scrambled eggs with truffle butter.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
