The sea bass is a little plain, so I added extra salt and pepper to it. The server is apparently very busy but she's been paying attention to every table's speed and presented our entrees right after we finished our soup. Appreciate the service there. At the end of the meal, we were waiting to receive the bill but we were unsure whether we should wait to be served or walk to the counter to pay. We waited patiently for 15 minutes and decided to call a server and asked for the bill. Everything else is great!

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.

The service was great. The interior had a tile floor with a sort of Mexican fishing village theme. Reasonably priced for top level fresh seafood. Highly recommend.

Well ahead of our travels to Dingle, I booked Michelin Star'd Out of the Blue. Only serving fresh…read moreseafood, it was the best meal of our trip, and every bit deserving of its star status. The front is a basic and unassuming, but neat, blue building. Inside remains simple, but quality, with light wood, soft light, and sea themed decor. As the menu changes so frequently, a dish can run out that evening, it is handwritten on a chalkboard that is brought to the table. It was very difficult to choose, the entire menu was well done. The brown bread was also the best of the trip, theirs had more seeds and the right balance of dense. Be careful to not fill up on bread as you will not want to miss any of the rest of the meal. Since the menu changes so frequently, describing what we ordered is not helpful. Both dishes were incredible, fresh, cooked perfectly, and with interesting and well matched ingredients. We ate every possible bite. We managed to save room and share a dessert, worth every calorie. I'm surprised to see any negative reviews. In my option, for the quality of the meal, the prices were completely reasonable. If you are in Dingle (which if you go to Ireland you absolutely should as the town deserves a visit), make reservations!

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.
