Sophie's @ The Dean, Dublin

During our second stay at The Dean Hotel in October 2015 we also had dinner and breakfast at Sophie’s, their memorable roof top restaurant.
 
This time around there were a few changes. The service was much better organized and smoother.
 
The views over the city were as always stunning.
 
We were brought to our table, located in one of the corners.
 
Soon afterwards our waiter introduced himself and was responsible for us for the duration of the meal.
 
He was very attentive. Our previous experience was that staff was extremely busy and whoever had time, took care of us.
 
Tap water was brought to our table in a carafe and a glass of Olmeca Fusion Chocolate Liquor for him.
 
We ordered the whipped goats cheese with pine nut crumbs, red pepper, beetroot and raw tuna with watermelon and peach yogurt dressing. As a main course we both chose the veal meatballs with orzo pasta and shared an avocado salad. The salad was bigger than last time and came in a white bowl instead of a dark one. We shared a dessert, the iced raspberry mousse with milk chocolate ice cream, caramel sauce and crushed raspberries. All was delicious and plate licking good. It was also innovative.
 
The bill was ca. 80 Euro or ca. 87 USD.
 
Breakfast the next morning was quite. We ordered two green tea, two orange juices, one French Toast, a cream cheese bagel with smoked salmon and two fruit bowls. I’m glad the waitress advised me that a fruit platter would be quite large and maybe too much, since the bagel was generously sized too. I took the advice and she was right. A large fruit platter would have been too big. There were no reasons to complain at all and we felt fit and refreshed, ready to go to the airport for our flight to London. The bill was ca. 39 Euro / ca. 42.40 USD.
 
Will we return? Definitely. The food is too good to be missed.
