   My wife and I ate there on 30th December and availed of the early bird dinner menu (3 courses for €45 I believe). We loved the starters (caeser salad - DELISH! and mushroom and bacon gratin), the main dishes were a sizeable portion (butternut squash risotto and wild fish of the day) followed by lovely desserts (vanilla caramel creme brulee and orange panna cotta). My wife appreciated the N/A drink options. And all the staff were lovely and very attentive. We will definitely return when we come back to Dingle.

   We made a reservation and were placed first on a waiting list. When we arrived at the restaurant, the lights were off and the place closed. Tried calling, but got no answer.

   Prawn starter over cooked. Pork belly starter dry and small. Fish main scallops were nice but monkfish again over cooked. Fillet beef was good. Service excellent.

   The Half-door in Dingle will give you a memorable dining experience. Booking is straightforward; the restaurant will text you to confirm. The waiting staff are attentive without being annoying. The food is what will bring you back to the Half-door; Beautifully presented and sumptuous, it is truly an event to savour. Highly recommended!

   A reservation is needed. Our dinners were very good. Cod, scallops and steaks all prepared well. Seafood chowder was very good as was the crab gratin Service seemed rushed at first but once we ordered things slowed down. Our wine was a delicious French Sauvignon blanc was delightful! All around one of our best meals in Ireland or Scotland.

    Wow! Stated with the blue cheese Filo pastry  with compote. It was absolutely delicious. My husband had the cod and loved it. I had the lobster and the pear dessert with chocolate ganache was out of this world. We’ve been in Ireland for over a week and this is one of the best meals we’ve had.
