We decided to pop in for a quick drink and some oysters, since it is their namesake. Upon entering,…read morewe were asked if we had a reservation, which we had not but were fine being turned away if they were just too busy to seat us. 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.

While we were only in Killarney for a couple of days/nights, we made it point to enjoy as many…read morelocal spots as possible. This meant loosened belts and full bellies most of our time in the city and we couldn't have been happier! On our second night in town, we were after an early dinner as we had plans at another local pub later in the evening. After a stroll around town, Mad Monk was the spot! Apparently Quinlan's is a small chain with several spots around Ireland, and after popping in, we can tell why. The thing that stood out the most for us at Mad Monk was the freshness of all the goods, specifically the seafood. I enjoy a good grilled or pan seared fish filet, but being in Ireland, it was my mission to try as many fish and chips as I could, and Mad Monk was next on the list! Before we dove into our mains, we did order one of the only non-seafood dishes on the menu, the braised beef croquettes. They were absolutely tasty, and set up our mains very well! We both went with the traditional fish and chips. The fish was perfectly fried and flaky and the tartar sauce was *chefs kiss*! I will say, as with most chips around the island, the chips were a bit underwhelming. They were slightly crispy and fluffy inside, but I am not a huge fan of steak fries and they definitely could have used a bit more seasoning. Service was solid, efficient and friendly. The space is quaint, bright and sleek. Lots of woods and blues, which definitely give the vibes of seafood. Overall, Mad Monk was a solid spot and one we glad we visited during our short stay in Killarney!

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!

Based on a recommendation, we made sure to add Boatyard to our itinerary while visiting Dingle. We grabbed a late lunch, both got fish and chips, and one of us got a cocktail. The fish and chips were tasty, not the best I've ever had. The fish was well fried and flaky sided with your standard chips/fries served with ketchup and house made tartar sauce, which was honestly the best part of the dish! Service was friendly and welcoming from entry to exit. The space is cute with a large main dining room up front with lots of natural lights and large windows looking g at the bay. There is a cozier dining room inside, along with two outdoor spaces once more formal than the other. The front patio looks great, but sadly du to weather and season, it was closed. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at The Boatyard. Definitely recommend it when in Dingle!

If you are in Dingle for travel I will give you a short and quick review of our experience. But…read moreI'll say first, you can skip this one. The service was very poor to being with. They did not have enough staff to accommodate how many tables they had sat. The waiters were not the most friendly as he seemed annoyed when we did not have our drink orders ready 4 minutes after sitting down. Not to mention we had one drink menu and four people. Then for the food. It was terribly small portions for the cost. The quality of our meals was not great, especially for the price. We ordered the Atlantic Seafood Platter with the extra half lobster. The lobster actually never arrived and hadn't even been placed on our bill at the end of the meal. We never asked for it to be brought out since we were over it by the end. At one point a server actually placed our scallops we ordered as an appetizer in front of me, took them, and placed them at a nearby table without a word. Apparently the table next to us had ordered the same appetizer but she ordered it first, so it was taken from us and given to that table. Very unprofessional service. Our scallops came out 8 minutes later. Overall it is a skip. Many other seafood places are nearby. Dingle is just simply not the best place for fine dining, so I would opt for something more casual and cheaper while dining here. Their drinks were good though. Not to mention, this is the only dining spot in all of Ireland to verbally ask for a tip.

We chose the alfresco option. We started with an order of oysters and a a bottle of Little Eden Shariz from eastern Australia. It was was smooth, with a nice nose and a smooth finish. The ostyers were amazing, just wish I could have had my horseradish and Tabasco sauce with them. The sea bass was very good and I really liked the mango pomegranate salsa which is unusual for me as I would normally not even taste such a concoction. The salsa was tasty and paired very well with the sea bass. The side salad was difficult to eat. The cup was small and spillage was inevitable. The service was good with one exception, the bill for dinner was never brought to the table, after waiting for a while, I went in and paid the tab. Prehaps that's a cultural thing. Prices were moderate-high. All in all an enjoyable but it did not rise to the level of five star.

There is a choice of eating in the bar, from the bar food menu, or in the restaurant from that menu. We opted for the latter. The complimentary bread for the table was delicious, kudos for that. I had fish and chips, my partner had the trio of fish. The food was fine, adequate but I do think its over a tad priced for the standard. I kinda wished we had opted the bar food menu instead, might have been better value. I ordered a glass of wine too, which was generous, but just about drinkable. It was a Sauvignon Blanc if memory serves me. Staff were nice, but forgot my request for ketchup. And there was coffee grounds on the rim of my espresso cup. Mediocre service, ok food with a big price tag. Sol y Sombra, while equally as pricey, is much better for food and service.
