Social Gallery: The First Dates Restaurant at the gibson hotel is Now Open For Love
Last night saw the official launch of the gibson hotel’s First Dates restaurant menu to celebrate the return of the popular TV show.
The show, which is hosted in the hotel’s coda eatery, is now offering diners the chance to experience the romantic ambience of the First Dates restaurant for themselves.
At the launch, invited guests were treated to a tailor-made First Dates menu, which was created by gibson head chef, Igor Cikerav, and a First Dates Love Potion cocktail, created by the hotel’s experienced bar team.
Dinner guests included model Lena Morkuniene, stylist Jo Linehan and some of Ireland’s top bloggers Louise Cooney, Sarah Hanahran and Niamh Cullen.
Guests were welcomed by fan favourite and First Dates host, Maître D’ Mateo Saina, who showed them to their table, where they were served a Love Potion tipple, which included Grey Goose La Poire, cranberry juice, fresh raspberry, lime juice, orange blossom water and cloudy apple juice.
Guests then tucked into delicious starters, main courses and desserts, with the decadent First Dates love heart chocolate dessert proving popular.
During the launch, the gibson hotel’s general manager, Garrett Marrinan, expressed how excited and proud the gibson was to have the First Dates restaurant open to customers.
He said: “This is the third year we have hosted the First Dates for the very successful TV show, and now we are delighted to offer the First Dates experience to all gibson hotel guests.”
