Popular dishes

SOLE's Signature Oyster, Connemara Rock
Thanks to the unique combination of fresh and sea water, our friend, David Keane's oysters have lots of sweet and creamy notes with a touch of earthiness
Carlingford Rock
The tide in Carlingford Lough in conjunction with the freshwater flowing in from the mountain sides give these oysters a very rich and distinctive sweet, slightly nutty flavour
Achill Rock
Traditionally grown on the west coast of Ireland for a delicious straight-from-the-sea taste in every mouthful
Kelly's Rock
The flavour is just big bold ocean; sea salt upfront, a seaweed note in the middle and a dry palate finish

Port, Sherry and Sweet Wine

Riesling Late Harvest, Epitome, Longview, Adelaide Hills, Australia 2018
Remarkable balance with elegant fruit weight and refreshing acidity. Paler in colour than most dessert wines; the aroma has slight notes of golden delicious apple and orange blossom. A refreshing palate of peach and ripe citrus is followed by a wonderfully clean finish with unmistakable underlying minerality
- Glass€8.50
Chateau Jany, Sauternes, Bordeaux, France 2018
Chateau Suduiraut is designed for all those who enjoy sensory and emotional experiences that are both rich and full of surprises and leave a lasting memory. Silky, sweet, fresh and vibrant, this is a great Sauternes
- Glass€9.50
Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos, Disznóko, Hungary 2011
Made in Hungary from Furmint grapes that have been allowed to shrivel on the vines until they are no more than raisins, it is then aged underground in casks, developing honeyed apple and spice notes while retaining rapier acidity. Now this wine is over 10 years old, the wine has even greater aromatic complexity filled with dried fruits, spicy and honey notes. A beautiful balance between vivacious acidity and sweetness
- Glass€15.00
Ramos Pinto 10 years old Tawny Port, Douro, Portugal
This tawny is a blend with an average age of 10 years. Its brick-red, even golden shades transport us to the Orient of spices, piquant and exotic aromas, with all its mysteries
- Glass€13.00
Ramos Pinto Port LBV, Douro, Portugal 2015
Intense, full aroma of ripe fruit which brings out the flavours of grape and fig, combined with a delicious chocolate. It is a powerful, defiant, full-bodied and harmonious wine. The palate is full-bodied, soft and elegant
- Glass€9.00
Hidalgo Pedro Ximenez, DO Jerez, Spain NV
Made from 100% Pedro Ximénez (PX) grapes, rich, sweet and mouth-filling yet true to the elegant, refined style that marks all Hidalgo wines
- Glass€9.50

Very small portions. As in really small. Prawns and Shrimp not cleaned . Prawn starter was extremely small, 1 small prawn for 17 EUR. Ordered 2 side dishes , they came half way through the meal, also overpriced 5 baby potatoes for 5.50 Lobster on the seafood tower also very very small. Dublin bay prawns over cooked Dessert of lemon tart was very bad, pastry rock hard , tiny layer of curd ? And the meringue was nearly liquid The ambiance is lovely and the waiter was fun and energetic

Amazing service from our waiter Bruno, he was helpful kind friendly and efficient. Made our experience even better. Had a really fab Sunday lunch, atmosphere was just right. Felt special but not stuffy. Really good scallop starter for me, and scrummy fish and chips. Hood wine selection by the glass too. Can’t fault it.

We thought that the food was excellent, however, the restaurant was loud and the service could have been better and the staff more attentive. Understand that it was a busy Saturday night, but after our starters there was a 1hr wait before our mains arrived. We also had to wait 20 minutes just to pay once we were given the bill.
SOLE Seafood & GrillResponded 1 day agoDear Jason, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your most recent visit to SOL. After checking the CCTV on your table, you were booked for 7pm, arrived at 7.09pm order taken at 7:13pm, starter arrived at 7.18pm, cleared at 7:36 and mains arrived at 8:16pm. My apologies for delay with mains. Should you wish to give us another try, please contact me directly at victor@mansionhouse.ie, and i will ensure to be very well taken care of.

This was my wife’s birthday and we wanted a good restaurant with good fish dishes. We have known and talked about Sole for quite some time, yet never managed to go. We’re we glad we did, from the minute we entered the restaurant there was a lovely soft buzz happening and as we like to eat early we were surprised. We were greeted very well, and given a superb table given all the information about the way things worked and then the service began. The waiter service was nothing short of excellent, and the food and wine there brought were superb. As we dined the buzz got better maybe it was the wine or that more and more people came in I’m not sure. We were never rushed and no matter how many people came in, it never appeared crowded. Overall we had a superb evening along with superb food and superb craic. Can’t wait to be back. Well done to everyone concerned you deserve a big pat on the back.

All the fish (BBQ'd Tiger Prawn, Crab Claws, Lemon Sole and Turbot) was cooked and presented perfectly. Haven't had better anywhere. The side orders were super too and complemented our mains. Lucas was excellent and really knowledgeable and recommended an ideal replacement for our first choice white wine. One very minor disappointment was the brown bread and sourdough - both could be described, at best, as of average supermarket quality and not what I'd expect from a restaurant of this standard. Will definitely go back.

We had an amazing night at Sole, the front of house staff were very friendly & welcoming, the waiters and waitresses were so professional and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was second to none. It was dear but for a nice night out with everything 5* service you get what you pay for. Would highly recommend.

Loved the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. Service was amazing and brilliant food recommations given. Mackerel and sea bass! Only bad thing I can say is the prawns in the prawn cocktail were very soft and a weird texture. Would not order again. But everything else was amazing!

The quality of the food is phenomenal. With wine to match it. Staff know there business very well. The only thing I would change is the coffee. I had an espresso and it was good on Irish standards of coffee but was a letdown compared to the food. 6 out of ten for the espresso

Lovely setting and restaurant, with great staff. Had a quite disappointing monkfish and the children’s menu was heavy with chips and no vegetables. Overall, not great value for money but lovely setting and great staff.
