"Really enjoyable evening" My partner and I chose Shanahans for our ten year anniversary, and it did not disappoint. The crab starter was excellent. In spite of the size of the rib eye (20oz) we still chose them and were cooked perfectly medium rare. They were immense but we made a good stab at finishing them! The sides are enormous and would easily feed a family of four! We ordered the delicious mashed potatoes, onion rings and broccoli. Needless to say we didn't even put a dent in the sides they were so large. Advice would be to only order two to share and even that is too much! A dessert to share with petit fours to close finished off a great meal. We had a wonderful window seat overlooking Stephens Green in a quiet dining room. We didn't sample much wine as we had a friend order champagne for us in advance. Prosecco was brought over as it was our anniversary and was much appreciated. Service was impeccable, not intrusive at all. Will return but bring more people to help eat it all! Very friendly and warm front of house staff as well.
