Dillingers

My sister chose Dillingers again for dinner on Saturday night
(what a shock - not!). We went there about 6pm with no reservation and would you believe they were practically full. Luckily they were able to squeeze us in at a tiny overflow counter at the bottom of the restaurant.

Here's something that I only discovered during the week. "Mint" which was one of Dublin's few Michelin starred restaurants was in the spot where Dillingers is now. Ran by Chef Dylan McGrath, Mint was featured on RTE Television in a one off programme. There was a huge outcry about the treatment of the staff in the kitchen by the head chef.

But back to the other night, Amy had the chilli with a vodka and diet coke. Her chilli was good but she said the corn bread was too dry - perhaps it was a batch from the day before.

I had a special of 3 lamb patties on flatbread with a spicy sauce and also a yoghurt dressing. It was delicious along with a glass of merlot. Afterwards, we went to Birchalls for one drink. I should also mention that we saw Boyzone's former manager, Louis Walsh, in the closing down sale of "Laser Discs". We were home and back in the hot tub by 9pm.
