We ordered the much-anticipated Seafood Tower (€137): a stunning mix of hot and cold delights. The top tier featured warm lobster and mussels, while the bottom showcased chilled classics (oysters, prawns, and smoked salmon) all fresh and flavorful. The combination of hot and cold seafood worked beautifully together. A special mention for the fresh sourdough bread, don’t be shy about taking two or three slices to soak up those delicious sauces. For drinks, my wife enjoyed a glass of vintage brut Champagne (€38), while I paired the tower with a New Zealand Cabernet Sauvignon, both choices complemented the meal perfectly. For dessert, we indulged in the house specialty: the Guinness Cake, a rich Guinness-infused sponge with white-chocolate and coffee ganache, cacao nibs, and toasted almonds. We rounded off the evening with a glass of port wine, a lovely finish to the meal. That said, the service didn’t quite match the food. Our server seemed new and a bit unsure, and it was surprising that a restaurant of this caliber didn’t offer more experienced server. While the food and drinks were excellent, the service slightly dampened the overall experience. Still, come for the fantastic seafood, especially that tower, and enjoy the fine drink pairings. Hopefully, you’ll have a smoother service experience than we did!

Delicious meal this evening at Sole. Started with the delicate crab claws, then we shared the sea bass and sole meunière which was expertly deboned tableside for us. Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Add to that the elegant interior and professional service, we had a wonderful evening. The menu is pricey, €60 for the sole, but we shared it between two and the taste was worth the price if you’re looking for a special occasion treat.

We had the most amazing evening at SOLE Seafood & Grill in Dublin. From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed — the staff were warm, attentive, and really made the experience special without ever being over the top. The food was just incredible. We started with oysters — so fresh and full of flavor — and the oyster tempura, which was crispy, light, and absolutely delicious. The prawn cocktail was perfect, a classic done right, and the mussels were plump and cooked in a broth we couldn’t get enough of. The seafood chowder was rich, creamy, and comforting — honestly one of the best we’ve had. And the highlight of the night? The Sole Meunière. Cooked to perfection, buttery, delicate, and absolutely bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat. The whole evening felt like such a celebration of fresh Irish seafood. The food, the atmosphere, the service — everything came together perfectly. If you love seafood (or even if you just want to try some of the best Dublin has to offer), do yourself a favor and book a table here. We can’t recommend SOLE enough!

Lovely atmosphere and enjoyable food! We had a great time here. Some of us went for the early bird menu, which offers great value for money, while others opted for the lobster and the vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian options were decent, though they could be improved to better reflect the overall quality of the place. The highlights were definitely the mussels and the Guinness cake—both were absolutely delicious! All in all, a very pleasant dining experience.

Cannot say enough good things about our experience at SOLE! The online booking process was easy and the team was very accommodating as we were a bit late due to the weather. We shared the mussels, which everyone enjoyed, and they were well balanced between fresh and flavorful. The scallops were incredible and I will definitely get them next time I'm there! My partner who prefers steak over fish thought the steak was cooked to perfection. The Guinness cake was also great and wasn’t too heavy! Wallie was an amazing server and provided strong attention to detail throughout our time there!
