Called in here with friends for lunch on my first visit. Lovely location sitting in the front conservatory area with the sun on our backs and the food was excellent. We all had seafood dishes or fresh oysters and we were not disappointed. I had a crab and shrimp dish (forget the exact name) but it was excellent.The following week, I was back in Dingle with a group of sailing pals and I took them back here for dinner. Once again the food was great and the service just as good and friendly as the first time.If I'm ever back in Dingle, it would be my first choice for a meal.

Nestled in the beautiful coastal scenery of Waterville, County Kerry, the Smugglers Inn has been a family run business since 1980. Henry Hunt, Chef/Proprietor, prides himself on the variety of delicious locally sourced produce available in his restaurant.

After a day of travelling around we were driving back to waterville and seen the sign for the smugglers inn so we drove round and the setting was amazing and the menu outside said they served bar food and a la carte. So we went in and we hadn't booked so they were very polite in giving us a table then we were moved from one table to another which was fine. When we looked at the menu they had only given us the an a la carte menu as we didn't like anything on it we had to ask could we have the bar menu I dont think it went down to well then as I had just had a stomach operation I asked could I have a childs menu well I felt like a second class citizen it was obvious if u weren't American or didn't order off the a la carte menu u weren't considered at all. When we finished our dinner which was lovely we sat for so long while empty tables were being cleaned and re set even though no more people seemed to be arriving as it was getting late no one came near us to clear our dinner plates away after 40 minutes I asked could we have a dessert menu for my husband I was only wanting a pot of tea as I was full I was so disgusted I just said to my husband let's go give our money to some other establishment were we feel welcome so we asked for the bill and paid and left. I believe near judge its book by its cover we probably have more money than most of the Americans in there. I will not be back. I cant fault the food I give them praise for that but not their hospitality.

Newly refurbished bar located in the main street of Cahersiveen; food served 12:30pm - 9:30pm daily.

The mussel starter was good and generous. The rib eye steak was fine and the chicken mafta quite good. However, both were accompanied by what the menu called âspicy potato wedgesâ but were in fact not spicy, too greasy chips. The dessert described as âcheesecakeâ was fine but actually a mousse. Serving sizes were mediocre, which along with the rather high price lowered the value. Service was fine.

We have already provided a review of Q&Câs boutique hotel (which is excellent), but it would be just wrong to include the restaurant in the same narrative. It deserves a review all of its own.This is a delightful restaurant, the décor is marine themed, but not cluttered (as so many restaurants are). We were able to book a table for two at check-in, and were facilitated with an excellent table in the middle of the restaurant. Two things we wish to highlight. First, the food. The sizzling prawns were literally the best prawns I have ever tasted. The other main was Black Sole (one of the âSpecialsâ) and whilst cooked on the bone, the chef kindly agreed to de-bone it for us. The standard of food is exceptional. Second, the staff - young, energetic, dynamic, polite, courteous, engaging, professional, and effortlessly dealing with a very busy service. Thank you, this was a delightful dining experience.

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 had lunch at Royal Valentia while staying at the nearby Spring Acre B & B. I like the Royal Valentiaâs Mission Statement: âTo provide quality and Value 30 paces from the Atlantic.â Our party split a burger and pizza. Service was swift and the food was good. The décor is what one would expect from a restaurant in a small town but elegant Irish hotel. The Royal Valentia provided a good start to our Valentia visit.

With the ocean's bounty at our doorstep, it comes as no surprise that seafood plays a large part in The Moorings cuisine. We are committed to only using the best quality produce,from the freshest fish and shellfish, to the choicest Irish beef and lamb and

Had a delicious meal here. Main servings are huge, couldn't manage starter and main. Few things could make this place excellent; if ordering muscles, serve bowl for empty shells and bowl wkth hit water and lemon for cleaning fingers. If muscles come with a sauce, perhaps serve bread for dipping and spoon. If water vessel is empty and left at edge of table, refill without being asked. 3 fillets of sea bass probably too much. Extra dish of potatoes and veg served which wasn't touched as we had too much food. Really enjoyed meal overall.

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.

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.
