I had eaten here about 3 years ago and it was excellent so I was really looking forward to a good meal. I decided on 2 starters, the seafood chowder, which was good and the scallops with Sneem black pudding which was horrendous - it cost â¬13.50 for two overcooked, rubbery scallops on a small slice of Sneem black pudding all sitting in a gloopy puddle of sweet balsamic type sauce which overpowered all other flavours.My husband had the chicken wings to start, which were good and then he had the roast pork for main. The pork was dry and overcooked, in fact as he cut it it crumbled into dry flakes. We were so disappointed in the food but the servers were lovely and friendly and efficient.If the food could be improved I would recommend the place as the ambiance is nice and the staff lovely.

Came here for dinner one evening and were seated quickly. The young waitress was a friendly blond lady who patiently answered our questions about their menu and whiskey in the area. She provided attentive service without hovering. She spared a few minutes to chat with us through the meal, and made us feel welcomed. She told us about the spring well that is inside the restaurant and took us to it to see. The food was quite good. Very well seasoned, prepared, and presented. Service was prompt but not rushed. The atmosphere seemed close, friendly, and very laid-back. People were having discussions, but the noise level was not deafening; you could HAVE a conversation. It felt comfortable, almost like the place belonged to someone we knew personally. This was one of my favorite restaurants on the entire 2-week trip.

We had a wonderful dinner in March. The fish was fresh, you could see the boats that brought it in that day. The burger was big, juicy, and tasty. The service was good too.

We stopped here after a long drive from Dublin and before we did the shopping and ate. That first pint of Guinness barely touched the sides. There was a wedding party in here for pre-reception drink and everyone was very friendly. The staff here were friendly and helpful (as is usual all over this area) and we spend many an hour here as our choice of middle of the day 'rest break' before moving on to the next place to visit.

Seafood and Irish coffee - a win win.Wait staff was very good. We went there twice in 2 weeks. The lobster was so good. The location, by the water, was a plus.

We enjoyed an excellent experience at this restaurant. We were a group of eight who went to this restaurant without reservations. Perhaps because it was Sunday, perhaps because it was the first week of September, however the restaurant was not overly busy although there was a crowd. Our waiter was Johnny and he did an excellent job in taking care of all of our needs. Within our group we enjoyed a variety of traditional Irish dishes as well as fish dishes. All of us were happy with their choices. The atmosphere is great Irish decor. An added bonus for us was a group of seven local musicians who came in and played live around 9:30 pm. I rate this as top notch both in meals and ambience. Service was great as well.

The Fishermanâs bar and Restaurant Portmagee. We are known as a lively traditional Irish pub with some of the best Sea food you are likely to eat. We are located at the pier in the heart of the fishing village of Portmagee.

When our tour stopped in town for lunch, we liked the look of this interesting place, located just across the street from the harbor. We were greeted and seated quickly by friendly staff. We both chose open crab sandwiches on soda bread (Not the soda bread you typically see on St. Patrick's Day in the US). They were excellent, with just enough mayonnaise to bind the plentiful pieces of crab. Prices are reasonable.

My three sisters and myself arrived at the restaurant at about 8:50 pm - we were informed by our waitress that the kitchen closes at 9 pm but bar is Ione till 11 pm. She quickly checked with the cook who said that we could order. Had the salmon while others in group had burger; Irish stew; cod ... all very good. Our waitress was very helpful; courteous and attentive-very pleasant experience and happy that they could accommodate our late arrival.

This is an average bar and having been here 4 or 5 times I can honestly say there is nothing remarkable about it one way or the other. If you're thirsty you can stop in for a drink and sit outside if the weather is good.
