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.

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.

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.

When you first walk in the visuals are not exciting including a huge television (actually all the pubs we visted in Eire were a bit like this), though with good wall decorations, BUT .... don't be put off .... the staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is superb. On the first night I had a seafood platter, a brilliant combination of hot and cold, fish and seafood, whilst my wife had pan fried sole. The sole was so good and perfectly cooked that we went back the next night so I could have the sole, oh and a chowder starter whilst my wife had pan fried turbot or halibut (can't remember). This part of the world seems to specialise in chowder, they were all good yet this was the best; and my wife's fish was, again, perfectly cooked .... damn .... we weren't spending a 3rd night in Waterville else I'd have had to come back. Highly recommended. My wife is mostly vegetarian yet occasionally eats fish .... she liked the vegetarian options .... yet the fish was so good.

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.

On our Ring of Kerry excursion we decided touch at this restaurant because of great reviews. Unhappily, the seafood chowder was thin and short on actual seafood and the steak and Guinness pie distinguished by having a single piece of steak, though the puff pastry was the largest piece ever seen.One of us was reasonably satisfied with the fish and chips

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.
