We arrived with a reservation, although it was not needed as it was early and the place was nearly empty. I had to go to the kitchen and ask someone to acknowledge our presence.

I went there and the first thing I was met by was friendly staff. The food was brilliant. it was real seafood and an enjoyable meal. The next time I come to Bantry I will be going to O'Connor's seafood. It is much better then all the restaurants on the list. Should be #1- see you soon. More

Dined there recently with 7 friends food no problem staff good,manager unable to handle customers very cranky and abrupt.At one stage we gave strong consideration to leaving everything and walking out but we did not want to spoil what was otherwise a great weekend in Bantry.None of us would return to this venue because of our experience with management.
