Great food and excellent service.

It is a wonderful dining experience from the service to the delicious food

This place is magical. The host ran out after us for a table that just opened up when we had made a reservation for the following evening after thinking there was no room for walk-in seating. As pictured, we ordered the mussels, Kelly's oysters, beef carpaccio, tiger prawn cocktail, the scallops, and seafood chowder. Everything was amazing throughout that we just kept saying wow!

Vlgs ons un restaurant dat M Sterwaardig is ......

Sole never disappoints! Amazing food in a relaxed atmosphere with exemplary service

Καλό αλλά υπερεκτιμημένο

Belle découverte.....

A negative review that's likely to get swallowed in the apparent ocean of positivity, yet a bitterly disappointing first-time experience deserving of circulation.

I booked a table at Sole for my Fiancée's birthday, fully expecting a memorable occasion in seafood excellence. Unfortunately that couldn't have been furtuer from what we received. Within one minute of taking our seats and perusing the menu, our waitress asked if we were ready to order. Her demeanour was one of haste and impatience. Fortunately a second waitress happened to take over, whose mannerisms we cannot fault.

The food itself however left a lot to be desired. While quality is earmarked at Sole, I have never left a restaurant still hungry. Portion sizes across the board were staggeringly small, including a near €100 lobster with barely enough meat to fill a ramekin dish. Moreover, the baby potatoes side were partially bruised, and the scallops to start lacked in the expected succulence and flavour. The linguine main was tasty, but lacking in actual seafood with a mere x3 pieces of crab. Finally, no bread was presented to the table despite there being butter on the table; a complaint truly emblematic of the broader insufficiencies.

I informed the waitress of our dissatisfaction and she apologised sincerely, promising to relay the information. However nothing further came of it despite a present restaurant manager who regularly checked up on guests at one particular table - seemingly overlooking all others, including ours.

A truly disappointing and frustrating experience, and a special birthday occasion dampened by its shortcomings.

Decor is really lovely, very interesting and stylish (unique).. The staff were excellent from greeting to paying.. The food and wine are very good.. Really enjoyed our experience.

Scallops were a treat, followed by monkfish and, as I was repleat I should have left it there but had icecream for dessert. Usually go for a cheese board, looked good, so I'll return for that and a shared 'sole tower'. Seafood was excellent. We were warmly welcomed and our service was professional and attentive. Surroundings are smart and sophisticated, it is a busy spot. Early bird options available and do offer good value. Smart wine list and cocktail bar.

Great food. Great service.

Το φαγητό, ειδικά οι γαρίδες, μέτριες και η γεύση μαζί με την cocktail sauce σχεδόν αδιάφορες κ κατεψυγμένες.

Το servis καλό, ευγενικά τα άτομα που δουλεύουν.

Very good. Server was lovely.

Beautiful food in a lovely setting. Staff were brilliant! Highly recommended

Fui comemorar meu aniversário no restaurante. Sendo bem honesta o ambiente e os staffs são pontos muitos positivos. A comida também é boa temperos na medida. Porém as porções são extremamente pequenas e o preço absurdamente alto, pedimos entradas pratos principais e uma sobremesa pra dividir e nada nos satisfez saímos com fome e gastamos quase 300€ em duas pessoas Apesar de ter pedido uma lagosta inteira 85% dela era apenas casco e quase nada de carne com uma simples porção de 4 ramos brócolis ao lado bem sosso não voltaria…

We tried to walk in last year and failed, so this year in mid March 2024 we made a reservation and were given the best seat by the window.
We had the 6 course tasting menu and we love it very much. Just one small complaint that our 6 course menu is coming with tea or coffee but when the restaurant becomes so busy when the dessert is served, our tea or coffee never shows and we forgot to ask for our tea.

All round nourishing and nice.

The restaurant interior is really appealing BUT we were very underwhelmed with food. Good selection but my monkfish and partners Salmon were bland to say the least. Starters and deserts were likewise disappointing.

Expensive in my view. In all honesty I couldn't recommend to friends and I wouldn't be tempted back.

Had a meal in a fish restaurant in Killarney recently which was significantly less expensive and which served a three course meal that was streets ahead of the food we got in Sole.

Sole has been on my list for ages. I wanted to like it but it just didnt live up to the hype. Not even close.

I was really disappointed with the main course of fish and chips. The fish was soggy and over breaded and the chips were served cold and under cooked. Worst meal I’ve eaten in a long time. If you are looking for fish and chips look elsewhere.

This was to be our special meal on vacation and it was a disappointment. I ordered the scallops starter and salmon main. My dishes were fine, no major complaints. I could nitpick the salmon but won’t. I do wish they had proper Irish craft beers since the place seems to itself on being local.

My partner ordered fish and chips. This is where I lost all credibility for choosing restaurants. The fish was a generous portion but my partner struggled to eat it, finding it over breaded and mushy. The chips were room temp and did not seem freshly made to order. My partner was livid to pay 33€ for this when she had paid less at Matt the Thresher for the exact same meal the night before and found it to be a much higher standard.

I did find the service attendants were good at clearing and setting the table in between courses. The restaurant also asked about our meals and when a hesitation by us was noticed, and they heard my reluctant comment that it was “fine,” they took off one drink and our lemon tart dessert from the bill.

The tart was definitely good and that I can also recommend. But we just felt let down by the whole meal and the fish should have been taken off as it was a higher value. I noticed a few other recent reviews felt this place is overrated so I wonder if something has changed in the kitchen?

Nice looking restaurant, let down by a fairly bland meal.

The starter was promising with a smoked salmon dish but the monkfish main appeared to lack any real flavour outside of the bacon it was wrapped in. Similarly, the the mussels included with the main were absolutely tasteless (prompting a brief worry I had somehow lost my sense of taste.)

A manager did enquire about what we feel could be done differently, although there was little follow up on our issue that the food appeared to be very bland. We regularly eat seafood at home and were at a loss as to how the dishes could be so lacking.

We left quite unhappy given the price paid for what was a disappointing meal.

Have to say , I was underwhelmed with my food last Saturday evening. I ordered the sea food chowder for staters, which resembled a texture of baby food with no pieces of fish.
For the main course I ordered the monk fish which looked insipid unappetising, the two mussels were so over cooked resembling leather. So dissatisfied as was there 5 mouths ago and loved the food.
Shame to see it drop a level .

Si seulement on pouvait trouver une telle qualité d'accueil, de service, de cuisine et de décor dans nos restaurants français, ça serait tellement bien car beaucoup de restaurants ne sont vraiment plus à la hauteur de très longtemps

Disappointing. Minuscule portions for majuscule prices. Turbot was three tiny pieces not even 100gr of fish for 44€. Ordered crab claws and monkfish, both of which were over cooked. Nice place and good service but would not go back for a mediocre meal above 100€ per person

First visit to Sole and certainly not our last. Right from the start staff very attentive, choice of seating at the bar, great idea, food, drinks attention to detail excellent. Fish and chips ? I ask a restaurant to better this, unbelievable portion. Scallops to die for and wine and drinks selection including draught Guinness superb, what a great Sunday date day ???? we will certainly be back. Well done.
