After getting settled in, our amazing hosts (Tony and Iris) recommended The Dew Drop Inn for our dinner. We stopped in and were seated promptly. The location was a 5 minute walk from where we were staying, and is absolutely cozy and lovely inside. They also have a patio (where we sat the next night!) We ordered: The fish and chips, confit of duck, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Let me tell you, we eat a lot of fish and chips. We also travelled all over Ireland (and Scotland) for a month. The Dew Drop Inn is tied for the BEST fish and chips we've ever eaten. (The other location is the Dingle Ahoy! cart/window in Dingle.) They were absolutely perfect. Crisp, lots of fish, well seasoned. The chips were a revelation as well. I may well be ruined for mushy peas for life, because these were exquisate. Also...the confit of duck was SO good, we decided to come back the next day and order that again!! The second night we were there, I sadly don't recall exactly what we had, but I believe it was a potato soup, and seabass. They were all delicious. We honestly wished we had more time in the area, and part of the reason was to try more food and drinks here!!! The cocktails and beer were grand, and the service was absolutely perfect. We absolutely plan to return to Ireland, and to stay with the same B&B hosts (I want them to adopt us, they were that incredible), so we will absolutely be returning to The Dew Drop Inn.

I had the mushroom soup, which was so thick I had no more room in my belly to even sample the salmon fish cakes or chips that my companion had got us to share. He requested a fancy French wine in his perfect French accent but then again, he is French so I didn't have to feel too inferior. Plus, I could be pretty nifty at ordering things like "Jemme-sun" or "Mack-ar-dills". We sat there 'til close, discussing foreign cultures, literature, relationships, and work. The evening was perfectly rounded off by a coffee, which I thoroughly enjoyed but which kept me awake half the night. The waitress was extremely pleasant and instead of the "Are ya right there folks, please?!" that I'm used to, she tactfully asked, "Would you like anything else from the bar because we're closing?" A wonderful evening.

Cars were parked all around the attractive, well furnished pub so we feared we wouldn't get a table, but the pub is quite spacious and we were seated immediately. Susan had the fish and chips (of which she is a real fan) and I had the chicken curry. Susan was astounded by the best fish and chips she has ever dined upon and I was pleased/impressed by the quality of the curry. Service was prompt - beer and wine were delivered immediately, our orders came quickly, and we were revisited several times to ensure all of our needs were met. We've been "on the road" in the USA, France, and Italy for the past month and this was the best and most welcoming service we've experienced. The pub was packed by locals of all ages having a wonderful, lively night out. We were both absolutely delighted by the experience and highly recommend a visit when in the area!

We called a few minutes before our arrival and the host graciously reserved a table for us, which was appreciated since they were dealing with a busy Saturday evening dinner service. For a starter, we shared an order of their smoked salmon salad, which came in a pretty display of mixed greens with feta and peeled orange, lightly dressed and sprinkled with freshly ground pepper, all anchored in a triangle of folded fillets and topped with crunchy fennel strips. It was refreshing to see that the bottom of the plate was practically dry after the last bite as opposed to the typical puddle of dressing in many restaurant salads. The dressing was citrus based, which provided a nice contrast to the salmon and cheese but the acidity took center stage to the rest of the flavors. My husband ordered for his entrée an 8 oz centre-cut fillet which came with a cornucopia of sides - a large, grilled flat cap mushroom, a slice of beefsteak tomato, onion rings, French fries and mashed potatoes. The peppercorn sauce was flavourful and had a nice non-pasty consistency. I was allowed to partake in the fries, which were beautifully done to a light golden exterior with fluffy interior and no after taste of over-used frying oil. Although the fillet was slightly undercooked (he asked for medium, and it came out medium rare), my husband found the dish generally satisfactory. My pan-fried fillets of seabass came on a bed of sauté mix - baby potatoes, roasted red pepper, greens, peas, shallots and fennel - a nice combination of raw nutty sweetness with some crunch to offset the buttery fish. Delicious! We wrapped up dinner with coffee and four scoops of ice cream to share (the 4th scoop was on the house!). Our entire dining experience was made extraordinary by the excellent service of the wait staff. They were professional and genuinely attentive. Definitely we'll return.

I was confused at the beginning, but the carvery is located at the back of the pub. You go there, pick your food and then go find a table. But if you want dessert or snack you order it from the menu (?). Anyway, they had a 2 courses meal for 13.95 - what I found a good deal. The roasted beef and the stuffing were really really good. I totally recommend it. The food comes in a big portion I nearly had no space left to dessert - but I had it in end! My friends had beef burritos (good) and fish from the carvery (boring). For dessert, death by chocolate. Man, lots of chocolate, I assure you. The staff were not that friendly (except from the lady at the cashier) but at least they worked fast.
