Had not been to the King Sitric in some years and was disappointed on arrival to find that the Upstairs Restaurant was closed for renovations However the service and food downstairs was excellent Breaded Hake and Chips without any salad or vegetable was a bit mean at 24euro Overall a bit pricey but would return

Wonderful food. The Dublin Bay Prawns and the Oysters in particular were outstanding, but everything was delicious. The icing on this particular fishy cake was the magnificent Francesca!!!! Friendly, knowledgeable and ever smiling. Will come back to Howth just for the King Sitric!!!!

Our group of 15 was delighted with our experience. The service was top class and the food was delicious and all brought out in a timely manner. Great atmosphere and friendly, accommodating staff. We sat outside in the heated area and were protected from the showers. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable time. I would highly recommend King Sitric!
