What a great meal, great service and overall great time. We live in Colorado so getting seafood so fresh and delicate was outstanding. The service team did a great job and everything was perfect. Thank you.

Half Door was my favorite dining experience during my trip to Ireland. The food and service were outstanding. We definitely plan to return upon our next trip to Dingle.

The lamb was outstanding and the duck was even better! The sides of peas and broccolini were equally delicious

Our booking was for 8pm and we waited half an hour on the street before our table was ready. Once seated we waited a further 40minutes before our order was taken. We weren't even offered drinks during that time. The food was good but very overpriced and not generous in portion size we got one small bowl of potatoes between six of us. The staff were friendly but overworked and not enough of them. I have very fond memories of the Half Door but I will not be returning after my recent experience which was also marred by a disagreement between staff when we went to pay about adding a portion of chips to the bill.

We got the early bird menu which was great value, the evening menu is quite pricey. The food was amazing, presentation flavours and service top notch.
