Ryleigh’s Rooftop Steakhouse Reviews

Ryleigh’s Rooftop Steakhouse holds a 4.8★ rating on Tripadvisor from 2,321 reviews, ranking it #6 of 2,923 restaurants in Dublin, and a 4.6★ rating on OpenTable from 3,111 reviews.

• “Our server Guilli was very good at his job – personable, suggestive and very professional. He really made the meal fun and special.” – Butterbeans2, Tripadvisor
• “A special thank you to our waitress Eliza, who went above and beyond by surprising him with a birthday ice cream scoop.” – AJ Stagg, Tripadvisor

Both platforms rank this among Dublin’s best – #6 of 2,923 restaurants on Tripadvisor is a rare result. Value is the relative soft spot on both (4.5 on Tripadvisor, 4.2 on OpenTable), reflecting a rooftop-view premium on the bill, and a handful of reviewers mention longer-than-expected waits even with a reservation – book ahead and build in some buffer time.

Ryleigh’s Rooftop Steakhouse Menu

All beef is 100% Irish, cooked over the open grill: Striploin, Delmonico and Centre Cut Fillet as individual cuts, plus the 34oz Tomahawk Rib Eye and named-supplier John Stone’s 34oz T-Bone to share. Starters run from beef carpaccio and crab toast to chilli and garlic prawns, with mains beyond steak including honey-spiced duck breast, sesame and herb-crusted salmon and a vegan grilled artichoke. Sides span truffle and parmesan fries to cauliflower gratin, finishing with desserts like crème brûlée and sticky toffee pudding.

Weekend brunch (11am-3pm) runs from a full Irish and eggs Benedict to steak and eggs and sweeter options like buttermilk pancakes, alongside daily breakfast, lunch and set-menu options. A dedicated wine list – separate from the food menu – spans Champagne, sparkling and a broad still-wine selection by the glass and bottle.
