Then I had duck and my companion had lamb. It was terrific. The menu also came with desert and some small tastes. There are two complete menus presented at two price points, Euro 55 and 45. The room literature also shows a vegetarian menu served at the Yew Tree -- I guess you would need to ask for that. BTW, the breakfast buffet was quite nice as well.

Amuse bouche: foie gras mousse royale & cherry espuma mousse served in a brilliant turquoise blue half moon bowl. Sweet Corn soup poured from a tiny glass teapot into a bowl swirled with sweet corn and basil purée. Smoked salmon under a glass dome filled with a smidgen of heavenly smelling smoke that erupts up into the air when glass is lifted. Nice thick slice of fish served with tiny cubes of beet, thin pickled cucumber, and tiny purple flowers. Ham hock terrine apple and pastry crisp. Seared scallops with pork croquette, and carrots in accompaniment. Carrots Sliced paper thin and pickled, baby carrots, carrot purée. monk fish with crispy potatoe encircled round, prawn, carrot,coconut and pea risotto. Great menu and very nice wine list.

We spent a week in Ireland, and this is, by far, the best restaurant we visited. The decor was…read moresuperb, and the wait staff performed exquisitely. We were lucky to get a table on Friday night and were told it is impossible to get a table Saturday night without an advance reservation. There was a fixed price option for a two or three course dinner. The portions were quite large, and everything was perfect. The server, Mags, was attentive to every detail, from dropping our napkin in our lap to ensuring that we always had the correct silverware for each of our dishes. I ordered the pan seared cod and my bride ordered the vegetarian dish. I also had the vegetable soup, which was pureed into a creamy delight. and poured at the table. Both entrees were accompanied with a potatoes and mashed sweet turnip. For dessert, we had the chocolate brownie and hazlenut ice cream. Mags knew we were on our honeymoon, so the plate had "Happy Honeymoon" inscribed in caramel. They also brought us a couple of glasses of complimentary champagne. The entire dinner, including drinks, was 75 Euros. Based on what we had paid at other restaurants on the trip, it was a bargain. We highly recommend The Danu.

This was done through email on their website and was seamless. This restaurant is on its way to a Michelin star, in my opinion. I'm maybe not a total foodie, but I have eaten in many excellent restaurants and this is among them. All the food we were served seemed to be local and freshly prepared. Even down to the house pickles. Every part of each dish was curated and prepared with thought. The flavors all worked together seamlessly and the dishes were beautiful to look at and to eat. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, and gracious in answering all of our questions. And we had many of them considering we are not locals and we were fascinated with their creations and selections of food. I highly recommend land to Sea restaurant if you're in Dingle. It would not surprise me if it soon earns a star and you will not be able to get a reservation. Go now!

Walked in without a reservation and luckily got a table for 2. The hostess was not friendly, she…read morewas quite rude. That being said, she was not Irish (every Irish person we came in contact with were lovely!). She sat us and told us the soup was Tomato bisque and I was very excited because it's one of my favorites and I'm a vegetarian (not vegan). There was an early special and you could choose 2 or 3 options. I chose the soup and a fish dish. It did take quite a while for a server to show up and take our order. It then took a long time to get our drinks and it wasn't very busy at that point. The soup was delivered and it was lamb stew. I understand mistakes can happen. The server said I could choose something else on the menu and I didn't see anything that was vegetarian or that I liked. I said the fish alone would be fine. I did not like it at all. It wasn't flavorful. I'm sorry, I know it's an unpopular opinion as I saw many 5 star reviews, but I am very surprised that this is a Michelin restaurant. I would like to add that my husband really enjoyed his meal and the atmosphere was great. Maybe a bad night for them? Or maybe I was just hangry.

It is very open with plenty of seating and you don't feel squished. It did feel a bit too modern for my taste, but that is just a personal opinion. The service was ok. They messed up my order, but she quickly corrected that mistake. There was no offer to remedy that mistake though, which I felt might have made a difference. The food was good. Very well made and well seasoned. It didn't particularly blow me away as anything new or outstanding though. It reminded me a lot of a good restaurant in Southern California. I had the pumpkin ravioli, which was a special that night. It was good, but I've had better. I also had their fresh cheese/tomato salad, which again was good, but I've had better.

The restaurant is in a fairly busy section of Douglas but was able to find parking after circling a couple times. The restaurant is pretty small and can be a bit crowded and in true European fashion, toasty and warm.
