    Went for dinner for Mother’s Day. Good experience overall. Was disappointed with my starter and found it a bit pricey but it’s a great venue, good buzzy atmosphere with friendly, efficient seevice. My 3 young adult sons loved the treat.

    Third visit to SOLE and it just gets better every time. The service is first class, nice ambience, great wine list, unbelievably good seafood which is cooked to perfection. Yesterday's monkfish was the best I've ever eaten. I just wish I had another stomach so I could eat twice as much.

    It was my friend's birthday and I must say it was the best choice I made. From the food, ambience, drinks, the service was on point the waiters paid attention to detail despite the fact it was a busy day. I must say welldone and you have gained a customer.

    My first time in Dublin, for our anniversary. We love fresh seafood and it was lovely. Could’ve done with a bit more service and when we asked questions about the menu and recommendations, there wasn’t any given to us. Overall really nice food. Our server was lovely, just lacked knowledge.

    I have to say that the food was delicious but the services was a disaster. 10 minutes for bring the water No bread (even when we asked for) 15 waiting for they bring the check and another 10 min for they take the money. I wanted to have dessert but gave up seeing that I could be there for another 40 minutes waiting. I really like this restaurant a lot but the service I received yesterday was very disappointing.

    Mussels were fantastic, as was most of the food except for the halibut that was "Catch of the Day". If it was halibut then it was the thinnest halibut that I have ever seen, and it was overcooked to the point of being dry. Not worth the 42 Euro asking price.

    I was given a gift card for Christmas, we decided to go on a Saturday afternoon. We were greeted at the door and shown to our table. From the moment we arrived service was 5*. Food was fantastic, even the price was acceptable. All round a quality place to eat.

    - Table was close to toilets so I’ve heard every time someone was flushing - Lobster was like a rubber, didn’t like taste at all. - Service was very slow (like 15 min to bring glass of Prosecco) and I need to hold my hand for 3-5 min to even catch somebody Would never come back.
