She did not steer us wrong. Fish Kitchen is on the second floor in downtown Bantry on top of the Central Fish Market. It is a tiny, intimate restaurant serving fresh caught seafood. The food was delicious. We started with a craft beer for him and a cider for me. They carry a well curated variety of local craft beers and also have a great wine list as well (the ladies next to us had polished off two bottles). We split the prawns in a garlic chorizo sauce. It was delicious and the shrimp were cooked well and flavorful. I had the haddock and chips while my husband had the crab claw/hake duo. The haddock had a light batter and his crab and hake had a great garlic marinade to them. The service was very welcoming. We stayed there past 10:30pm just chatting with Dermot. We would definitely return to Bantry to dine here again!

Each dinner had plentiful sides of potatoes, carrots, green beans, parsnips and red cabbage. Everything was fresh, abundant and delicious. The service was very good. We had a lovely chat with the 3rd generation chef/owner who not only cooked a great meal but also made some nice recommendations for our trip. We very highly recommend Murphy's Restaurant to everyone coming to the Beara Peninsula.

The chicken sandwich on white bread however was US grade-school cafeteria level in effort. And came with potato chips. Think wonder bread, boiled chicken breast and BUTTER! My wife's tuna salad was as tasteless. Not good value, lacking taste and topped with total lack of service. This is a place I will not remember from my trip. I try to support local small business, particularly when traveling. But this place really disappointed us. Avoid.

We decided to try An Corcan on the first visit, as we returned to Sneem from a trip to Skelligs Chocolate, and came upon its cheery, colorful facade in Waterville right around lunch time. We were so impressed with this little place that we actually made a point of returning on our second visit to Ireland. An Corcan's interior is just as cheery and welcoming as its exterior. It almost seems like a little tea house, with lace tablecloths and bud vases on each table. The service is so affable and hospitable; I get the feeling not too many tourists dine at An Corcan, and we were welcomed in the typical Irish manner, with broad smiles, good-natured banter, and plenty of questions about where we were from. The food at An Corcan is surprisingly good, given its off-the-beaten-path location in an off-the-beaten-path town. It has an interesting mix of Irish pub fare (cream of vegetable soup which is lovely, roasts and fish and chips which hit the spot, and the famous Irish "toasted special," in this case a combo of ham, cheese, tomato and onion), and American bar food (chicken wings which we didn't bother to sample, chicken curry salad which was actually a big hit with our group, and burgers). There's something for everyone at An Corcan. If we find ourselves in Waterville again, we will definitely return -- for the homey, welcoming atmosphere with cheery service; for the simple, delicious food; and for the reasonable prices.

The inside was large, easily accommodating us with plenty of tables. The waitresses came to our table and took our orders quickly. As a tour group, we were given only two options for lunch and a single dessert, which was fine with me. I ordered their Beef & Guinness Stew for lunch and was very happy with it! I had ordered the same thing from a pub in Dublin a few nights before and was disappointed, Dooley's was the opposite experience, this was excellent! The beef was tender, vegetables generously sized and soft, the sauce was hot and flavorful, and I really liked the flaky pastry on top used to mop up any leftover sauce. For dessert, they served Bread Pudding, which was good, but not the best I had during my time in Ireland, but good. All-in-all, a good and speedy experience at Dooley's Seafood and Steakhouse. If I were in Ireland again and passing by here, I'd have no issue coming back and grabbing a Beef & Guinness Stew from here.

When I asked for a menu, the waitress said they didn't have one.......okay. She did list what was available to choose as we were part of a bus tour group and only had selected options we could choose unless we wanted to pay additional monies, maybe that's why there was no menu. I went with a seafood chowder with some flaky pastry bread on top. The food was okay but literally being next to a river with many boats out on the water I was expecting exceptional seafood or something that tasted very fresh. I wouldn't come back but I am sure if you are in the area, you could have a good time here with the right crowd, the location was pretty fab and the interior of the restaurant was nice as well. As always people SYOY!!!

While the ambiance isn't exactly "beach bar", it is a decent restaurant with quality eats. The seafood chowder is actually quite exceptional.

The usual suspects are on draft, and overall while you might not be blown away, it's definitely a good place to rest before driving back to wherever you started the day!
