Hidden By One Society — Restaurant in Dublin

Was there this morning for breakfast - Two adults and two children (12 &13).

After reading the reviews and seeing the menu, we were looking forward to it, but on the whole it was disappointing.

We arrived at 10:00am an were seated quickly. We ordered after about 10 minutes, when we ordered our coffees and tea, which came about 10 minutes later, but it was 10:45 before our food arrived and the drinks were long since finished.

I ordered another as the coffee was very good, but the rest of the table are not as carefree with their caffeine intake, so they had the breakfast without a drink in the end, except for a little water.

We ordered Eggs Your Way (fine but no salsa or side and with two pieces of toast - Very basic), a Mini Breakfast (fine although bacon quite bland), but the other two meals were disappointing.

I may not have paid attention when I ordered Shakshuka as I was asked if I wanted an egg in it? I said yes as I presumed poached eggs would be included as a rule, but instead I got a fried egg on top of the shakshuka, which seemed to lack any eggs and was charged an additional €2.50 for the pleasure. The sauce itself was ok but unexciting and lacked spice, but the basic recipe contains eggs and €18.40 for this was extremely disappointing.

One of the children ordered American Pancakes and he was essentially the reason with went there, as he loves pancakes and is an enthusiastic young chef himself. He said they were very dry and the bicarbonate soda was very evident, both visibly and in the disappointing taste. Visually they looked impressive, but it is the first time he has left the majority of his pancakes at any restaurant we have been to in Dublin.

All in all the bill was €72.55 before a tip, which we provided anyway, but unfortunately, we will not return and we had originally thought about going there for...

I visited Hidden last weekend for the second time, and what a visit it was! My first time was just as great, it was busier, since they had just opened, but this one was truly impeccable.

Back when we lived in Summerhill, we were loyal customers of One Society, we would be there for breakfast and dinner as often as we could. So, obviously, we had to return to Hidden last Saturday morning.

I ordered a peppermint tea and the hangover stack with extra maple syrup. The pancakes were perfect, fluffy, airy, so light that I didn’t feel bad or stuffed after finishing the entire plate. The flavors worked amazingly well, the Tabasco sauce + maple syrup combo… Wow! I KNOW that if I would’ve been actually hungover, then pancakes would’ve been the ultimate cure and hit the spot.

Service was just as impressive. Honestly, even if the food wasn’t great (which it was!!), the staff alone would make this a 5/5 place. They’re warm, attentive, and always offer you a smile. Our server (who I believe was Brazilian) was fantastic! I wish I had caught his name to give him a shoutout, but if you were working the morning of February 1st, keep doing what you do. Your attitude truly makes a difference in customer’s day!

My boyfriend had the special of the day, which i believe were eggs Benedict with chorizo on sourdough. He cleaned off the plate in no time, so I think it’s safe to say he loved it!

The owner is just as involved and welcoming, he comes up to all the tables to make sure we are all having such a lovely time, it speaks volumes about him as a leader and person. It’s always great to see him so present in both Hidden and One Society. So fair play to him!

Safe to say, we’ll be coming back every...

The staff were very kind. I booked reservation online for 4:15pm. We arrived on time and were seated, there was a lot of staff chatting but there weren't any customers. We ordered drinks which I think they forgot to serve. We then ordered food and drinks again. The waiter had hilariously bad small talk and asked us awkwardly if we were going to the cinema, which was funny. The drinks arrived but the food took an hour and a half to arrive. When my meal arrived it was not what I ordered but there was no way I was willing to complain after such a long wait in case they wanted to take my food away because I was really hungry. We ate our food which was delicious but it was very salty. I then paid and the machine asked for a tip ☠️, which I paid. When we were leaving the staff were begging for us to return again soon to try and make us feel welcome. I am now lying awake in bed since 4am because my sympathetic nervous system is activated from all the salt causing a fight or flight response. My suggestions for improvement would be (1) update the website for dinner time to start at 5 if the kitchen is closed (2) write down people's orders so they don't get the wrong food (3) remember to deliver the drinks to the table (4) reduce the salt (5) remove items from the menu if you don't serve it (6) don't leave customers waiting for an hour and half without dinner. I don't enjoy writing bad reviews at all especially when the staff are very kind but this feedback is honest and for their...
