VALUE
“Steak delicious, lovely server Sofia.”
HELEN M., TRIPADVISOR
“Ridiculous overpriced. No atmosphere. Basic furnishings.”
NUALA N., TRIPADVISOR
Atmosphere is the clear weak point here – 3.0, the lowest sub-score of any restaurant reviewed on this site – and several recent reviews describe a quiet dining room, slow pacing between courses on the fixed-price menu, and a bill that feels steep for what arrives. The food itself, especially the steak, draws consistent praise, so this reads as a room-and-value complaint rather than a cooking one.

THE STORY
The Story of Morelands Grill
Morelands Grill is the steakhouse of what’s now The College Green Hotel (Autograph Collection) – a property previously operated under the Westin brand. The hotel’s own current website promotes the space mainly for breakfast rather than as a standalone dinner destination, though Tripadvisor reviews from recent months describe dinner visits with a fixed-price menu – it’s worth calling ahead to confirm evening service before booking.
- Formerly The Westin Dublin – the hotel operated under the Westin brand before its current identity.
- Rebrand – now The College Green Hotel, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection.
- Today – the hotel’s own site highlights Morelands mainly as its breakfast venue; dinner service is best confirmed by phone.
Recognition
- Tripadvisor ranks Morelands Grill #655 of 2,923 restaurants in Dublin.
