We know the Corner Note as breakfast Cafe but were in for our first dinner for two because we were drawn to the cosy candle light atmosphere and the small but tasty sounding menu. Spent a wet and windy date night there and loved it! Romantic atmo, food (fish tacos, schnitzel and fish stew, chocolate mousse) were all so tasty and the service really attentive and lovely. Great addition to Dalkeys dinner scene on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Ate here this morning, we loved it. Had the Shakshuka, first time trying it but the waiter made it sound so nice I had to try it, delicious. The missus had the poached eggs and avocado. Never got the waiters name but he was excellent, was quite busy but still took the time to answer our 50 questions. Will definitely be back soon.

Quite envious of the other reviews about this place!
Upon entry there were many tables available and the guy still asked us if we had booking.
The place looks good from the outside and very sunny. It is maybe good for breakfast but when we arrived it was over and we had to order lunch, the most appealing from the menu to us was the steak sandwich, when it arrived was already disappointing, nothing like the pictures in the other reviews, the “steak” was all connective tissue, we ordered 2 and both were the same, it is not hard to make a good steak sandwich which is why we were so surprised, such a pity cause the place is in a great location.
The coffee was good, I would recommend the place for a coffee and enjoy the sunshine, but avoid the food.
