                                        Honestly one of the best dining experiences ever in Dublin. We sat at the bar which was a preference. We LOVED the oysters and shared the Sole and Monk Fish. Absolutely amazing.

                                        Disappointing. Lovely decor, excellent starters (chowder and mussels) and then terrible main courses. Fish and chips with what looked like limp oven chips, horrible. Complained and had a partial refund.

                                        We both had Sole Meuniere. Half of mine was bitter. Overall, 3rd time at this location and good food and wine. Seating a bit cramped than we remembered.

                                        Somewhat overpriced. Starters arrived just after we received our cocktails - felt rushed. Lobster thermidor (95 Euros!) not the best we've ever had.

                                        Our first time going to Sole, we got the early bird menu and everything was stunning. We got scallops and chowder to start. Monkfish and sea bass for mains and key lime tart for dessert. Great selection of cocktails and wine.
