Prices are steep. Appetizers are at least Eu10, entrees are at least Eu30+ , desserts Eu8. I am a big seafood eater and have grown up with seafood. The best part of the meal was their chowder. The other dishes were ok... The chef at Out of the Blue is more creative and has a better palate.

We stopped by here for dinner, I am a vegan. The menu doesn't offer many vegan options, which is perhaps something to think of next time menus and meals are being thought of and printed, but it has a whole section for vegetarians and on that, I found a nice red sauce pasta option that was suitable for vegans. For this reason, I didn't mention it to the staff, so I can't say whether more vegan meals could of been suggested to me from the chef, but I am sure they could have. The pasta dish was delicious and my 8 year old daughter loved her food too. The meal sizes were great and priced fairly too. We all left full and happy.
The staff are beyond friendly and one barmaid in particular made my daughter feel very special by how nice she was to her.
The establishment is that of traditntal Irish pub style and I doubt it has changed much over the years, but that's what I like about it and if you want and 'old Irish vibe' I would highly recommend here.

A Seafood Only Restaurant, perfectly situated on the harbour in Dingle. Pretty fine, interesting, colourful, fun and fresh dining for a Shack !

Excellent choice of fresh fish dishes served with a great range of supporting vegetables and side dishes. Both the hake main course, and the John Dory/turbot/scallops combined really hit the spot. The service & venue were both excellent and contributed to a great night out in Dingle

I actually didn't directly eat in this restaurant (my friend did and she said it was amazing) but I was very sick at this point in the trip and they were SO kind to me. We were staying in their apartments upstairs and they brought soup and bread up into my room, as well as a Hotty Toddy. I paid after, but I thought it was just the sweetest gesture. They really wanted to make sure I had everything I needed. They were so sweet and my friend said it was very good food so please go and support them!

Okay Dingle is a tourist spot but the price of this ice cream is ridiculous.If portions were more generous okay .Plus nothing offered for sugar free or even a special of the month ,,etc.....No kiddie cones for really small children.Ive been many places all over Europe where they offer great homemade ice creams but not at these prices and portions.

Myself and my friend just had an amazing dinner. I had the fish trio and she had the lamb, all of it accompanied with vegetables and potatoes.
The dessert menu had several choices which it was great to decided one one to chose.
The chardonnay wine was ideal with the dinner.
We don't have to forget how helpful the staff was with us, making sure at all the time our dinning experience was a 5*.
I recommend this restaurant to any foodies people.
