We sat in the back at a comfortable table, the seating is spaced well enough to provide privacy. The sound level is also comfortable. For drinks we ordered a port wine and a local stout. Both were satisfying. Our starter of mussels was absolutely superb. The mussels were sweet and tender. The sauce that bathed the fish was really delicious. I ordered the spicy Spanish fish stew. The fish were truly fresh and delicious. The stew sauce was a bit spicy and also excellent. It would have been a great soup on its own. My wife ordered the halibut served with a mushroom sauce. The sauce was great, the fish was high quality and fresh, but it was absolutely tasteless. The preparation by steaming unfortunately ruined an otherwise very good fish dish. Our dessert, the Sticky Toffee Pudding was really good. It has lots of flavor and whole sweet, wasn't overly so. I would have wanted to give Doyle's 5*. But with a very expensive entree being mediocre, it would not have been honest. We told the staff our impression and to their credit, they were completely receptive. I would absolutely return for another meal here, but would be careful to ask how the specials are prepared.

They did seat us at one of their high top tables, which we were very grateful for. Our drinks came out quickly despite a very crowded bar area with many locals chatting away. When the oysters came out, we noticed that they were not cold to the touch. In fact, they were pretty warm, which kind of alarmed us. After trying a few, we decided to just stop eating them because we didn't want to get sick. We happily paid for everything without a complaint, but I will caution those who come by for fresh, raw oysters. Service was great despite a busy afternoon and the not so great oysters, so I can't fault them too much for one appetizer. I'm sure their other dishes are great.

Since they don't take reservations, we kept walking but were curious enough to look up the reviews. After seeing how highly rated it was, we decided to come back when we were ready for lunch. I'm so glad we did. We timed it perfectly, avoided the line, and were seated immediately. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the chicken goujons, fish tacos, The Fish Box, and the seafood chowder. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You could tell the seafood was incredibly fresh. What impressed us even more was the value. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes we received. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, making it an easy place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Located just a block from the marina, The Fish Box was one of our favorite lunches in Ireland. If you find a line, don't let it scare you away. It's popular for a reason.

Folks were lined up already at 12:15pm so I joined the queue at 12:20pm after seeing the Harry Clarke stained glass windows at the chapel across the street. We were seated promptly and ordered the shared box (fish box times 2) which came out quickly and we were done by 1:15pm! - shared fish box - 3/5 - I have to say my favorite part of the fish box was the salad and the mushed peas. It came with fried cod, tempura prawns, Cajun calamari and another fried fish item. I've had better fried fish, calamari, and tempura prawns and didn't really care for the chips (not crunchy enough?)
