Thinking that nothing could exceed the chowder from our home in the state of Washington, we were speechless. The fish chowder was easily the best we have ever eaten. The bread was a perfect companion to the chowder and the fresh butter could not be surpassed. If we ever travel to this part of the world again, we would make it imperative that we stop here for lunch. Really impressive food and service.

We parked our car across from a field of cows and walked in. There were no tables available really, but they accommodated us in a little counter space against a window which worked out fine! Were started with some special blood orange Oysters, which were local Flaggy Shore and SO fresh and tasty. We also did the seafood chowder and garlic crab claws. They use a Brown Crab I believe, which is kind of like a stone crab that we have in Florida, but served hot. DELICIOUS!! Main course was a seafood pasta and grilled Hake. Both amazing. I can't say enough great things about Linnane's! I would come back here in a heart beat. This was some of the freshest seafood I've had in a long time. They literally have the oysters coming in right there! Highly recommend.

This was my favorite restaurant because of the AMAZING seafood. The raw oysters were super fresh and it was fun getting to see the manager show us how to shuck oysters (he used to compete in oyster shucking contest and was ranked pretty high!). The steamed mussels and crab claws were also delicious. Ending the meal with cheesecake was great! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like you are visiting a friend's home for a nice meal. Highly recommend checking out this restaurant if you are in the area and are looking for amazing seafood!

We showed up for an early dinner on Easter Sunday without a reservation. Lucky for us they could…read moreseat us but we would have to finish our meal within 1.5 hours. People after us were directed to the bar for open seating. The seafood chowder was rich and filling. Mixed oyster plate came with three Gigas and three natives (5 years to grow) but we couldn't agree on which was the best. Moran's featured half a dozen different cold platters and we ordered the smoked salmon which consisted of plate sized slices topped with a salad and a scoop of crab. The Marie rose dressing was delicious and made this salad one of our favorites of this trip. Lastly their Irish soda bread was the best we've eaten and wished we could've gotten a loaf to take with us. The good service, great food and eclectic ambiance made for a nice Easter Sunday meal.

The Tandoori chicken was a bit on the dry side, but the seasoning was spot-on, not overwhelmingly spicy. The grilled potato slices were a pleasant surprise, a change from the traditional fries or baked potatoes, they packed the creamy taste of the latter while having a crispiness not found in the former. The lemon-lime cheesecake had a mouthful of sweet and sour fruity flavor and had nice rich aroma of cheese. The problem, however, was service. There appeared to be only three front-of-the-house staff in total taking care of a large dining room, one of which seemed to be inexperienced, and another needing to be the receptionist and the cashier. They seemed to be constantly overwhelmed. When the tables began to fill ,service time became protracted, and attentiveness dropped markedly. I even had to walk up to the front to pay my bill. Food and drink along this place is worth 4 stars or above, but considering service, I can only give 3 stars. I hope they could do something about the service soon, because the food had been pleasant.

Dear Sir/Madam, I…read morehave never left a place feeling so unsatisfied and uneasy about a situation before. Today the 8th of December my friends and I went for a ladies lunch in Poppy Fields's when we got there we were seated and happy. About 20 minutes had a passed and no one had taken our order , we completely understand they were busy and it wasn't an issue whatsoever, to save the lady coming out I said I would go inside and go to the till to put our order in as I walked in I was met with the lady who rudely said to mr go outside I'll take your order out there it's to busy, I said no problem but it was rude and aggressive and the tone she used made me feel uncomfortable and shook. Shortly after the same lady came out to take our order and as she was leaving she slammed the menus on the table next to us loudly and with force. A while later our food had arrived. As she was giving us our food she said and I quite "no pepper " I said that's me and proceeded to hand the plate she implied was with no peppers to my friend and my friend said "no sorry that's not mine" and I said "I thinks it's mine I got it with no peppers" she turned to me in the RUDEST manor and said "yes you will have to wait" I was shocked and uneasy my friend turned to her and said" you are being so rude " and she said rudely , cheeky and just so smart "I'm not being rude" "am I being rude " and we just could not believe that this happened we didn't even finish our food we left in shock. We went to the till to pay for our food and the lady was so sweet behind the counter she said "if you guys are ever in a rush on your lunch just let us know we can accommodate you" it wasn't that we were in a rush it was that she was so rude and we understand it's lunch hour, rush hour and it can be stressful but it really left us unhappy and made us not want to go back ever again. Really disappointed and frustrated over it.

We didn't have reservations but the restaurant was able to seat us at the bar. For drinks, it's wine and beer. They do have some liquor. Reading previous reviews highlighted an amazing cocktail, but the manager said they do not serve cocktails. They can do things like gin and a bottle of tonic. We opted for a bottle of Riesling. We started off with complimentary soda and Guinness bread and butter. You could taste the freshness! My husband and I ordered the seafood chowder. One of our favorites in Ireland. For dinner, my husband ordered the seared tuna which was a special for the evening. I ordered the pan seared seabass. Our meal came with a side of potatoes too. His seared tuna was so good! There was calamari along with a vegetable. My seabass was so good. It came with potatoes and corn. Most fish we have come across in Ireland was fried so it was nice to have so many pan seared options. The dessert menu looked great but we were pretty full. I took a peek just in case. Chill vibes which is way different compared to the rowdiness of the Latin quarters.
