Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I keep running through my mind how to approach this review. We have been in Dublin for 3 days and have eaten at Sole twice (lunch and dinner) and have a reservation for our last night which is next week. I have enjoyed some of...the most pleasurable experiences at this restaurant. We were referred by a fantastic pub (the beer temple) and need to go back and thank him. We have had two different servers, Martin and Lucas. These two are real professionals. They know exactly how to approach each part of the experience and go out of their way to provide some guidance and make you feel like you are on a journey with a well seasoned guide. Some of the food items we have enjoyed were the seafood soup, Moules (mussels), beef steak (ribeye), oysters, and desserts. Everything single thing has been perfectly prepared. There are no mistakes in their cooking. The restaurant itself is very cozy and very well decorated to provide openness and some privacy at the same time. The host made us feel very welcome and that he/she was glad we were there. There is no rush and the presentation timings were really spot on. Again, the two servers are experts at this part of their job. The prices are a little above average. The most expensive item that I saw (not including the seafood towers) was 49 euros for a Dover sole that is filleted tableside. I will be having that in a few days. That have some amazing seafood towers that are in the 80 to 120 euro range but include a large variety of seafood delights including lobster. The wine selection is very appropriate for the restaurant and they also have cocktail service. It will take you about two hours to complete this feast and it is time well spent. You will absolutely have to have a reservation. I sincerely want to thank both Martin and Lucas for making our evening and lunch so very satisfying and relaxing. They made terrific suggestions and wine pairings and seriously made me feel that they were speaking from their enjoyment in presenting such a great experience. It should speak for itself that we will be eating there 3 times in 5 days. I highly recommend Sole restaurant and will certainly return if ever in Dublin again. Many thanks to Martin and Lucas, and will have to edit this later to add the server from our next adventure.More

What you get here is possible to elswhere - at a lower price. Beware of the mediocre fish pie for 26 EUR. But the worst thing was the waiter clearly wanting us to be finished, order some more, and get out. Literally running around us...and pushing with questions like “are you finished yet?”. And our entire stay was 1,5 hours, so it’s not that we blocked the table forever. Finally, the air conditioner did blow very cold air - and the temperature outside was 21 C. I had to put my jacket on. Really?More

I have hesitated to leave this review but out of principal I have to. To start off this was my second visit. I visited here in June 2022 (see previous review). I have raved about Sole since I visited last. Unfortunately, this visit was not...the same. We ordered the captains seafood tower as it was amazing on my first visit. I was really disappointed this time round. The lobster did not taste fresh. It was like chewing on a flip flop. The crab toes tasted like they were cooked from frozen. The prawns on the lower tower did not taste fresh either. The broth on the top part of the tower was curdled, which we brought to the attention of the waiter. He defensively said they use fresh double cream. Why was it curdled? It tasted really terrible. Like a milk broth, no garlic flavour & had a particular terrible smell. The crab claws were amazing, the oysters were perfection. But, very, very disappointed with the rest of the tower. The manager was there on the night & the waiter we spoke to about our disappointment said that he needed to speak to the manager about us not wanting to pay the full price of the tower as we could not eat most of it. (Adding this in, so there isn’t a token comment from the manager asking to contact him, I have no interest in dining here ever again) Our bill was still €186 The waiter offered a new seafood tower. I don’t know about anyone else, but, once you taste seafood that’s not 100% you are not going to want anymore seafood. Really disappointed as this was for a birthday treat. Sole, please serve *fresh* seafoodMore

There are some tables in the bar area with high chairs and there is also the option of sitting at the actual bar on a high chair. The seating at the front and the booths at the side are more comfortable.
