We were very promptly seated. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. The food was terrific. I had a seafood chowder that was packed with chunks of seafood and the cream-based broth was delicious. My wife had a salad that was made with ingredients that were seemingly cut a few minutes ago. We shared a John dory fish special served on top of Risotto that we loved. Dessert was also great. It was rather expensive but other than the cost, I think you can't miss with this place.

Another fantastic meal in Dingle!…read more The food at The Global Village Restaurant is nothing short of amazing! My sister and I did not think reservations were needed to dine here on a Monday during the off-season. (We were wrong!) Luckily, we were able to make reservations for our party of three on the following evening. We scheduled our dinner reservation at 5:30 pm so that we could take advantage of the early bird menu. The early bird menu is a steal! (Two courses for €28 or three courses for €32.) The restaurant was fairly empty when we first arrived so we were able to ask our waitress about the different dishes on the menu. I wasn't familiar with many of the seafood dishes on the menu so our waitress helped me choose a mild white fish from the selection. We started off our meal bottle of Prosecco from Global Village's impressive wine menu. For my first course I selected a trio of duck appetizers. My beautifully decorated plate included duck liver parfait, smoked duck breast, and rillette of confit leg with garden greens and spiced apple chutney. The appetizer was absolutely heavenly! For my second course I selected the pollock with duck fat potatoes, spinach, chorizo, and tarragon hollandaise. The fish was very mild and paired great with the potatoes, chorizo and hollandaise sauce. I selected French cream puffs filled with hazelnut praline cream, honeycomb, and aerated white chocolate and served with caramelized white chocolate ice cream and cocoa tuille. This dessert was absolutely heavenly! Would highly recommend reserving a table at The Global Village Restaurant if you are visiting Dingle, Ireland.

VERY poor service detracted from our evening…read more.... We visited with some local friends and were looking forward to dinner, but from the moment we walked into the restaurant the whole service experience was a let down. There was confusion as our booking had been recorded for 2, but it we had requested a table for four. The soul male waiter who proceeded to explain the situation did not handle the matter well, but we were assured that a table that could accommodate us would soon be available. When we eventually saw a table was laid up, we had been waiting outside, we walked back in to find the table lacked 2 chairs. A waitress indicated that she would bring two, but after 5 minutes two of our party were still standing, so we simply took two unoccupied chairs from an adjacent table. Could the staff not have done this? On this Saturday night they had a party of 15 ladies in celebrating an event, and as the evening progressed this booking caused the whole restaurant to become overwhelmed with noise, inefficient service and generally a poor level of customer care. We were left waiting for bread, and only got some when I got up and asked at the service counter, after our starters were served. I had to ask three times in total. One of the more mature waitresses did inform us that due to the large party our main courses would be a little delayed and she was alone in trying to handle the issue. Other staff members seemed over whelmed. We reflect that the restaurant should not have accepted our reservation after such a large party had been seated, as the kitchen was having an issue serving 14 main courses at once. This might be expected but for the first hour of our visit to the restaurant no one attempted to engage us with the problem. A complimentary glass of wine and a sorry might have changed our entire view of the situation. The food when it arrived was very good and we would happily recommend the chef. So would we return, yes...but we would question what other reservations the restaurant had accepted.

There was live music inside starting at 6:30pm which made the inside a bit loud and stuffy so we were very glad to sit outside and enjoy the music and the people watching along the Strand. The service was excellent and we enjoyed our meals: - seafood chowder - 5/5 plenty for two people to share and large chunks of varied seafood and potato in a creamy soup, yum! Came with a piece of brown bread that I didn't care for but my partner happily ate it - Guinness beef stew - 4/5 came with mashed potatoes carrots and was a solid offering - pan fried filet of hake with cream of mushroom and tarragon sauce and potatoes - 5/5 I though this was delicious and just the right balance of flavors with slices of mushroom I'd definitely go back to the Marina Inn if I ever find myself in Dingle again

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.

Situated directly across the road from Dingle Bay, Boatyard is a seafood forward local spot that…read moredefinitely has the vibe of Dingle! 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!

We walked by Land to Sea restaurant on Friday and saw that it was very crowded so we booked the…read moreearly bird reservation for Saturday evening. This was done through email on their website and was seamless. This restaurant is on its way to a Michelin star, in my opinion. I'm maybe not a total foodie, but I have eaten in many excellent restaurants and this is among them. All the food we were served seemed to be local and freshly prepared. Even down to the house pickles. Every part of each dish was curated and prepared with thought. The flavors all worked together seamlessly and the dishes were beautiful to look at and to eat. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, and gracious in answering all of our questions. And we had many of them considering we are not locals and we were fascinated with their creations and selections of food. I highly recommend land to Sea restaurant if you're in Dingle. It would not surprise me if it soon earns a star and you will not be able to get a reservation. Go now!

Walked in without a reservation and luckily got a table for 2. The hostess was not friendly, she…read morewas quite rude. That being said, she was not Irish (every Irish person we came in contact with were lovely!). She sat us and told us the soup was Tomato bisque and I was very excited because it's one of my favorites and I'm a vegetarian (not vegan). There was an early special and you could choose 2 or 3 options. I chose the soup and a fish dish. It did take quite a while for a server to show up and take our order. It then took a long time to get our drinks and it wasn't very busy at that point. The soup was delivered and it was lamb stew. I understand mistakes can happen. The server said I could choose something else on the menu and I didn't see anything that was vegetarian or that I liked. I said the fish alone would be fine. I did not like it at all. It wasn't flavorful. I'm sorry, I know it's an unpopular opinion as I saw many 5 star reviews, but I am very surprised that this is a Michelin restaurant. I would like to add that my husband really enjoyed his meal and the atmosphere was great. Maybe a bad night for them? Or maybe I was just hangry.
