This may be one of the most expensive restaurants in Dingle but goodness it was worth it. They do have a set 3 course menu for €40 however I went for the a la carte (mains range between €26 - €35) and I'm glad I did, there was no way I could have eaten more. I ordered the baked fillet of plaice, lovely large portion of fish, cooked beautifully, while my dining partner ordered a different fish fillet special with basil pesto - similarly praised. Desserts were ordered and consumed and I was assured that this was the best chocolate brownie my partner had ever tasted. One of the best meals I have had in a restaurant in Ireland. The service was excellent, our main waiter was charming and was always keeping out an eye to make sure we had what we needed. The only criticism I would have is that it's quite a small restaurant so the tables are close together. It was fine the night I was there and the design of the place means that you don't particularly feel intruded on however, I could imagine that if there was even a somewhat loud table in the same room (there are two rooms) as you it would be very distracting.

Fabulous Food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Ate here on Saturday night as a party of 3 people. The place was buzzing. We availed of the 3 course set menu for €40 which was excellent value for the quality of the food we received. The crab gratin was delicious. The wine list is extensive but we still managed to find a nice white for €20. Its obvious that the owners are on site as the attention to detail is excellent. I especially loved the little tapa we received when we first arrived to eat whilst perusing the menus. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant is a mark-up on most in Dingle and is well deserved. The preparation and varied range of excellent seafood dishes are to die for. This is premium quality, as is their vintage wine-cellar; you must know your wines before selecting from a range that costs anything from €50 to €300 a bottle. Alternatively, there is regular wine list in the €20/€30 bracket which could accompany the set dinner menu at €40. Then there is the a-la-carte selection all of which, from what we saw coming from the kitchen were fabulous looking meals, particularly the lobster & crab thermidor dishes. There’s also a near full-bar too, with pints of lager and bottled beers available. It’s an old building, still retaining the original panelled wood ceilings which all seems well able to absorb the noise levels affording privacy at your table, in what is quite a squash to get a full house seated. But perhaps the toilets were suffering from lack of a modern upgrade though; there was a definite blockage somewhere but thank goodness not a niff present in the dining areas. My wife had the seafood chowder which was full of lovely lumps of various fish pieces in a pinkish sauce while I had the confit of duck in rhubarb & ginger, but I couldn’t detect the ginger bit. For mains, she had the blackened fillet of salmon couscous and I the char grilled Angus fillet with red wine sauce, the sauce coming in a little pot for dipping the fillet pieces, an absolute heaven of beef excellence. We shared a chocolate dessert. At this stage, we knew we were in a special place which only cost with wine about €120. It’s called the Half Door and you’re in for treat.

This is a great seafood restaurant with a fabulously unstuffy atmosphere. I have eaten here several times and it has always been really good. The blackened salmon and seafood platter are devine. The service can be a little slow when busy but is very friendly. It can be a bit expensive but the quality is very good. The early bird menu is great value.
