While waiting in line at the Frantic Chef, I googled this place and a few more, it was only a 3 minute walk. We ordered fish and chips and the seafood chowder. The chowder and zero flavor, but was packed with fresh fish. The fish and chips were awesome, fresh as usual in Ireland, but very light and flaky, a top 3 for us. They were able to get us in and out, but we had to ask 3 times for water, and it was unseasonably warm. The decor was combo Irish pub/ Nautical.

A wonderfully picturesque bistro with spectacular views of the County Claire countryside along the Wild Atlantic Way. From the 100-year-old cottage that the restaurant is situated to the beautiful patio and deck around it, Stonecutters provides the ideal scenery if you're visiting the area when you want to enjoy some delicious cuisine. We started with a bottle of Sangiovese while I noshed on some homemade brown soda bread, which was divine with Irish butter. The seafood tagliatelle was delicious and creamy that I savored every bite between the mussels and prawns and squid. The banofee dessert was magical between the biscuit on the bottom topped with bananas and drizzled with caramel and topped with ice cream. Enjoying our meal amidst the glorious setting was equally as memorable, if not more. No pictures can do justice to just how breathtaking it is to enjoy a meal in such a beautiful setting. Stonecutters is an ideal choice to enjoy dinner that has endless amounts of scenery to enjoy a wonderful outdoor dining experience.

This has to be the place that coined the term "cozy" for real estate sales. Upon entering, you are…read morestanding next to the guest log book in the main dining room with around half a dozen tables & there's a "children's" dining room to the left: 3 tables, a high chair and a few toys. The bright yellow house, turned restaurant is easy to spot on the way to/from the Cliffs of Moher. You pull in to a small playground and a friendly dog roaming the grounds. This place is unusually kid-friendly, while not being child-centric, particularly given the size. By that, I mean, on entering the public toilet area, there is a nifty baby changing station - WITH supplies. Anyone who's had a child can relate this to a restroom having toilet paper! I found it to have very thoughtful touches like that, the special room & playground equipment - I also heard staff tell a patron that the kids get a toy to keep with their meal. I didn't view the kids menu, tho I heard a parent talking about some options with her child, including fish & every child's favorite fun food "spaghetti"! Adults were not forgotten- there were candles on the table and nicely plated meals and home-style options, with a lovely selection of wine and beet to choose from. The service was friendly and helpful- food was well seasoned and properly cooked: fingerling potatoes were crisp outside and tender inside. I wish we'd skipped attempting the cafe at the cliffs all together & just started here!!

It's popular and oftentimes there is a line to get a table. The staff does their best to seat guests as soon as possible. Note the closing time of 8pm is firm, so be sure to arrive before that. Staff is kind but due to the busyness of the restaurant, service can be scattered or slow, so remember, you're on vacation. Wine and beer available. Parking can be difficult in the area. Allow time to find parking, if you're driving.

Next, Killary Mussels steamed in white wine, cream & garlic sauce.. again just ok a bit overcooked served with hard bread and rock hard butter. At this point I just wanted to roll figuring nothing else would be good so just got check and went back to the pub! Someone told me that during off season they have different cooks and it definitely shows. Again, ambiance is great here and maybe just an off night? Talk later
