You will need to come at the right time to get seats or you just have to wait. Bigger than 4 people group will not be able to sit together. They have a really good selection of oysters and do come between 5-6pm to enjoy 1€ off all oysters happy hour. I'm not an oyster fan, but I tried their torched oyster, they taste amazing. The oysters were displayed on a bed of seaweed. And they brought to your table and explain to you all the ingredients then torch in front of you. I love all the combinations to max the flavor. I wanted to try the Dublin shrimp but unfortunately they ran out, I was told usually ran out at lunch. So I ordered crab on toast, really big size crab meat with cucumber on a yellow crab paste. Seafood linguine was do yummy. It came with a lot of local baby mussels and some shrimps. Cooked in wine and garlic sauce.

And a wall of paper towels that customers from all around the world have written messages on -- love that. We got the oyster sampler, which is a perfect pre-dinner snack size for two. It comes with four different kinds of oysters, two each, eight total. The waitress explained the taste profiles of each type: one was salty, one was mineral-y, another creamy. I thought the creamy oysters took the cake. Pro tip: come during Happy Hour and get a euro off each oyster!

When I think of beef stew, I think of my mom's homemade version. So one of the things I was most…read morelooking forward to in Ireland was trying authentic Irish stew. Our first meal in Dublin was at The Old Mill Restaurant, right in the heart of Temple Bar. It's been serving traditional Irish fare since the 1980s and has become a favorite stop for both locals and visitors looking for classic comfort food. After about a 20-minute wait, we were seated in the warm, inviting dining room. Susan ordered the mussels, one of her favorites, while I went with the Traditional Irish Stew and my daughter chose the Braised Beef & Guinness Stew. Both were exactly what we hoped for: hearty, flavorful, and perfect after a day of sightseeing. I finally understood why the Guinness stew had such a rich, dark color, and I have to admit, I came home a big fan of Irish stew. We finished with the Homemade Bread & Butter Pudding topped with fresh cream and custard, a comforting dessert that was the perfect ending to the meal. Service, atmosphere, value, and food were all five out of five. We also enjoyed chatting with the floor manager, whose pride in the restaurant and his team was obvious. That kind of hospitality made a great meal even more memorable.

I wanted to love this place, but it missed in several areas. We had reservations and they were…read moretaking walk-ins. They told us our table was ready at the same time they were seating a walk-in. Our table was next to the window with decent space between tables, I saw the walk-in complain that where he was getting sat was in the middle of the restaurant with no space between the next table. He ended up just taking our table even with the waitress saying it wasn't his. They just shrugged and told us to sit in the middle. The mussels were good, and they had gluten free bread, but there were limited gluten free options, even the Shepards pie wasn't gluten free. I was hoping a mash potato topping would be available, but only the Irish stew. This had lamb, but also chicken, so you had to hunt down the lamb. The beef stew was good, but the overall experience and being squeezed in shoulder to shoulder made me feel like I stumbled into a tourist trap. I wouldn't recommend.

The restaurant is located across the road from the water, which is a beautiful view, but even in the evening the place is super cozy and the ambiance makes you feel relaxed and ready to enjoy some your time.

We shared the mussels and oysters (so fresh!!) and then for the main courses we had the Dover Sole and Thai curry monkfish, both so tasty and fresh.

The restaurant itself is quaint but utilizes its space well for seating. We were able to get a table around dinner time without reservations. They have allergens labeled and a gluten-free batter for their fish, so it was a no-brainer what I was getting! We all 4 had the same thing and enjoyed the crunchy batter and crispy chips. The gf version was not a letdown, and I was quite pleased. The mussels appetizer was also delicious. We enjoyed friendly, helpful service, food came out quickly, and portions were generous. It's definitely a great spot.

The crab avocado salad was fresh, delicious and a great healthy option. Along with the salad, my husband and I shared the fried calamari. The jam it comes with pairs AMAZING with the calamari, it was so yummy. The salad is on the smaller side, so I would definitely suggest pairing it with a shareable appetizer! I also got the carafe of Prosecco, and that was a great pairing with the salad.

While it may look humble from the street, in reality it is a truly comfy and cozy space. We each had the highly recommended halibut special which was indeed delicious, preceded by some of the tastiest spring rolls we have ever eaten, and accompanied by one of the best Pinot Grigios we've had in a long time. The service was attentive, friendly, and humorous. The chocolate cheesecake was as "divine" as promised and the entire experience was by far one of the best on our three week tour of the UK.

From the begining to the end the experience was amazing. We had set menu special for the Valentines day- it was around 45€ per person - starter main dessert. We had oysters, scallops for the starter; for the main we got half lobster each and dessert my husband got sticky pudding and I had baileys ice cream. Everything was fresh and tasty.
