    Hello, I’m writing to share some feedback following our visit on Sunday, 27th July for a table of 7 people. While we found the food to be enjoyable with only minor faults, we were unfortunately quite disappointed by the service we received. There were several occasions where we felt overlooked, with long gaps between interactions and multiple instances where requests were either forgotten or not followed up on. This impacted the overall atmosphere of the evening and left us feeling frustrated. What was particularly disheartening was being charged a service fee despite the service falling significantly short of expectations. I would consider returning for the food, but I would hesitate to recommend the restaurant to others at this time due to the quality of service we experienced. I hope this feedback is helpful and that improvements can be made for future guests.

    The lobster roll was fabulous . My husband had lobster Thermidor and loved it too . Lovely location and excellent menu . The restaurant appeared quite enough so we were a little surprised after our food was served no one approached to see if we needed anything else /more drinks etc .

    Excellent! We’ve had a long walk to come over from Malahide (with a detour because of the tide) but it was worthy !

    We ate at King Sitric for the first time and were not disappointed. I had the crab mornay to start & my husband had the sea food chowder. I can highly recommend the crab mornay. We both had the lobster with chips, I had the garlic butter & my husband had the Thermidor. Both meals were delicious, I would urge anyone to try these dishes just once & you will be back again!
