This is a tiny restaurant, but had a table for five with no trouble. Service was a little slow at first, but the restaurant was full. We ordered three fish and chips and one Guinness Irish beef stew (you do get to choose between beef and lamb stew. They serve both !) that came with a pint of Guinness. (one serving of the fish and chips seemed to be lacking half of the fish and was only breading, but we did not complain.) Fish and chips were delicious and the Guinness stew was unbelievably good!! I'm not a Brown bread fan, but it was better than some I've had. I don't really care for Guinness beer but this one was smooth and good tasting surprisingly! Tab for the four meals as two people shared with the pint of Guinness and three tap waters was just under $70. Quite a good deal for being right in the temple bar area!!! read more

No take away boxes, come full or waste food. Service is par, ambiance is full of flys

Warm welcome to the city. We started off with cider, burger, fish and chips. Wanted to get a stew too but it was just a lot of food. The spot had a nice location on a quiet street and the server was friendly. Very pleased with everything. read more

Be prepared to get scammed if you are a tourist looking for a place to eat. This place advertises a 15 euro special of an Irish Stew and a Pint- and I ended up paying over 30 for the same special. I paid 40 euros for 2 beers, an order of bread and 1 Irish stew. We specifically asked for the special they advertise outside- and when my brother brought this to the attention to the waitress she denied the interaction and did not offer any solutions. RUN the other way to any other restaurant! read more

O'sheas Restaurant - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

Ate lunch at O'Shea's and enjoyed the Irish stew. Also tried their soup of the day, which was a blended creamy vegetable unlike anything I had previously tried. O'Shea's is a respite from the surrounding clubs with white table cloths and 1990's music setting a mellow vibe, but we did enjoy the food more at other restaurants. read more

Nice little spot on a side street in the Temple Bar area. I will say that my fiance and I were seated quickly and served immediately, the food came out quickly as well, the menu is well priced for the area. I ordered an omelette, which I thought was a safe and healthy choice but it was heavily buttered / fried. It tasted fine but wasn't what I was expecting. My fiancé got the fish and chips and he said it was okay. I would give it another chance and maybe try something else so based on that first experience I'd give y 3-3.5 stars. read more

The food was great! Ordered a beef Guinness stew and it was so yummy! Nice homey ambiance in a good part of town

Place was clean and bright. For lunch we had had a beef stew made with Guinness and the traditional lamb stew, both served with brown bread. Had a couple of well poured pints of Guinness with lunch. Beef stew was piping hot, lamb stew was barely warm, although both were delicious with a slight tangy/vinegary finish I've not had in stews before. Nothing to write home about, but our tattooed server was very pleasant and accommodating. read more

Cute little spot in Temple Bar! The food was food and service was very fast! The staff were also very friendly. If you are looking for a quick bite near but not near all the bars, this is it! read more

Great Irish comfort food and Mahmoud works so hard - seems to be a one-man show, waiter, cook, host - so friendly and also delicious food. He promised us a memorable Irish coffee and was true to his word. Hope to see you again!! read more

O'sheas Restaurant - ThIs WAS a great Irish coffee! - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

I'm not sure what the low reviews are for. We wandered in here because we were starving, the place was very busy, and it was warm n toasty on the inside. Small little place with maybe 10 tables on the inside, and a few on the patio. The staff is helpful, and very nice. If your American the location, and the set up will remind you of one of the many cafes & restaurants in San Francisco City. Small, tight, and cozy. I'll be honest with you. I fully enjoyed my Irish Stew. They ran out of lamb but asked if they could substitute with beef, and it was delicious! Big fatty chunks of beef, large chunks of onion, carrots, and potato. They give a large brown loaf for dunking in the stew. Large portion, normal price for food. It was so sweet, and thick, so filling! You could taste all the herbs, and spices. I was 100% satisfied, and HAPPY! My companion had the chief special: lamb chops, salad, and his choice of a baked potato or steak fries. He cleared his plate as he always does. But he enjoyed his meal as well. The mint sauce was strong so just a quick dip is all you needed with the lamb. He mentioned the lamb was a little dry but it was very good. Perfect location for our first meal EVER in Ireland. read more

O'sheas Restaurant - Irish Stew with beef - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

Pretty average food with a clear football/soccer theme, you can do better than O'sheas Restaurant. Delirious from our red eye flight and walking around Dublin all my morning, my girlfriend and I found our way into O'sheas Restaurant. A small hole-in-the-wall with a few seats out doors and football/soccer memorabilia on the walls, we walked in on a whim (and ignorant of the negative yelp reviews). After being a little confused if you just sit down or wait to be seated (this seems to be an American-only problem) we made our way to our table and looked over the menu. They have about everything you can imagine an Irish restaurant would have, and it being breakfast I ordered the Smoked Salmon and eggs. The eggs were a little overcooked and the salmon a bit bland, served along with dry bread that is inedible without butter or something else on it. It filled me up but was by far not the best meal I had in Ireland. Overall, with all the restaurants in the Temple Bar area, you can safely skip O'sheas. read more

O'sheas Restaurant - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

What is the definition of "prawn"? Jumbo shrimp comes to mind. Not miniature popcorn shrimp w/out the breading. (see pic) Pathetic & overpriced. The server was good. The cider was cold. The experience did not make a good impression for the 1st restaurant I ate at in Dublin. Not one bit. read more

O'sheas Restaurant - NOT a prawn - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

Surprised this location doesn't have better reviews as the food and hospitality was top notch! My wife and I had their Salmon in Wine/Butter Sauce and Guinness Beef Stew, which were both 10/10. It's in a convenient location in Temple Bar area, so you can stumble upon it easily, but it's small so don't pass it up! Great, chill dinner spot both inside and outside seating. read more

Good is delicious. Wine is "meh". Smoke from then patio is absolutely disgusting. Will not be back as long as the the smoke from outside is sucked right in to the dining room. read more

The place looks much nicer than on some of those pictures! Had a great dinner there! Customer service at top level. We bought grupon for steak dinner, came in with 3 people while table appeared to be reserved for 2. Quick action from the man and we sat at the table outside which was great for one of us being smoker... The guy was very attentive making sure we're happy. We had a guest with us whom we wanted to treat with nice traditional Irish dinner. The food was great! Beautiful piece of meat! I can't say anything bad about the place. We'll be definitely visiting back soon! read more

O'sheas Restaurant - Great steak! - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

Little nice Irish restaurant just behind The Oliver St. John Gogarty. I had an Irish stew and it tasted like they took a little help from instant soup. And then the waiter owed me 12.95 Euros instead of the 9.95 from the menu. He apologized and corrected the bill when I noticed the fault. Nevertheless a nice place. Update: Today I had Whiskey-Sausages with peas and potatoes and they taste well. read more

Tried to escape the crowds for breakfast by diving in here and was warmly welcomed by Mahmoud (I know I probably misspelled the name, so I apologize). The breakfast came out quickly and was delicious. Portions were large but not overwhelming and the service was outstanding. Had a great time chatting and receiving some valuable information for the rest of our journey. Our visit here set the stage for a great day in town! read more

Made a reservation for 2:30 for st Patrick's day bc I knew it would be insane. Made the reservation WEEKS ago. Showed up 15 min before my reservation and was rudely told "were full. Go away. this is st Patrick's day. We don't do reservations." I said wait but I made this reservation weeks ago, why didn't you all contact me at all before today to tell me you wouldn't honoring reservations today and he said "were full, we don't do reservations on st Patrick's day" and slammed the door in my face. Now we will of course never return. Don't trust you have an open table reservation with this place, bc they pick and choose when to honor. read more

This was a place we chose for our Christmas dinner because it was the only place open in the Temple Bar area. We were not expecting much but this turned out to be one of the best meals we had in Dublin. The service was good, quick and attentive without being intrusive. The food was good. We had soup to start which was very flavorful. The main course was split between steak (cooked to perfection), Irish stew and king prawns. Good portions, good taste. We finished the meal off with apple crumble and Irish coffees. It had a great intimate atmosphere which allowed us to enjoy each other's company. read more

We stumbled onto this place with not much time for dinner. The atmosphere was a bit cozy but the food and service were excellent. We had the lamb cutlets and the Irish stew. Both were to die for. Would definitely go again. read more

After reading some negative reviews, my wife, sister in law and I went in with low expectations. The Guiness stew was delicious, served with a hunk of brown bread. My wife had the vegetable medley with rice which she enjoyed. Our server was adorable, efficient, and helpful. Dessert was a crepe served with ice cream and chocolate syrup. Topped it off with an Irish coffee. A local recommended O'Sheas (thanks Mickey). A bit touristy, but not over the top! read more

We ate at O'Sheas over the weekend. Service was average to poor. Food was average. Vibe wasn't great. They turned away loads of customers even though they had space and wouldn't take reservations. Don't think I'd go here again. read more

Why eat here when there are better places you can eat for the same price in Temple Bar? The service was decent, but the food left a bit to be desired. Guinness stew tasted like Campbell's soup that had been doctored up with a few chunks of meet.. read more

Great place to tuck into if you are in Dublin. Delicious food and prompt service. Guinness was golden. Reasonably priced meals.

By far best food in Dublin. Service was great. Will come back again for sure. Had the Irish stew. Best ever. Service was over the top. Very interactive. read more

We had dinner here on our last night in Dublin. I will be honest, this was like our fourth or fifth place that we stopped out to get food. We were amazed at how busy it was on a Sunday evening at 9 PM. However, we are really glad that things turned out the way they did. This place is tiny, but the service and food was fantastic. Our waiter was Mahmoud, and he really went out of his way to provide us with great food and service. In fact, my friend that was with me is a vegetarian, which is not really an easy thing in a country like Ireland. But we explained that she will eat fish, but would not eat any other types of meat, and he even brought her a special smoked salmon dish from the kitchen. All in all, it was a great meal, and I definitely encourage you to visit. Do not be turned off by the simple appearance on the outside or the tiny feel inside. They work hard, and you will have a wonderful meal. read more

Great place to stop and get an amazing meal! First stop in Dublin. My husband ,son and I enjoyed a leisurely late lunch

Came here for my last dinner in Dublin for an "authentic" Irish stew. The stew I got was flavorless. I kept pouring pepper in hopes that it would taste good, and was tempted to ask for hot sauce. Really disappointing. read more

My wife and I were in Dublin for two nights after a week long trip in Ireland. Dublin restaurants and bars were very packed but we came upon this gem when looking for a quiet place to eat. The service and owner were both excellent and the food was great. If you are looking for great food and service in the downtown area that is quiet and peaceful to eat, this is the spot. read more

It was a nice Irish Restaurant, waiters were welcoming and service was fairly quick. Food was good and tasted fresh. I would come back here again if I was in the area. read more

O'sheas Restaurant - Chicken Kiev. That salad sauce is delicious. - Irish Near Me - Dublin, D

Found this place while walking around. Had the traditional Irish stew. The lamb was great!

Seafood stew was amazing. Waited for 20 minutes for dessert for my husbands 40th birthday and were never offered any even though the other tables were. Asked 2x for a dessert menu to celebrate our last night in Dublin and his birthday. Food was great, service was very disappointing. read more

Great service and awesome Irish breakfast. I strongly recommend to choose this venue over busy overrated pubs.

Nice small place in Temple Bar. Service was great and food was great as well. Had the sausage and mash and the steak.

Good hotcakes. Couple americanos for the fellers. All day breakfast is just what the lads needed after a night @ the bar

Tourist trap! Terrible service, below average food. You can save money by eating across the street at so many other places that are honest & respectful. The owner/manager is very rude. read more

This place had the worse service out of all of the restaurants/bars during our vacation in Ireland. It took two hours to get our food and the food was cold by the time we got it. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone especially when there are so many other great places in Dublin. read more

Disappointing. Nice staff, but salmon and beef stew were both dry

Food not so great at all, beer tasted as if it was watered down, and dim atmosphere. Would recommend to try elsewhere as there are likely many other better places to go and this restaurant did not leave me with a great impression. read more
