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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What a quaint restaurant. Dressy casual. The food was amazing. We had the mussels, scallops and tomato/mozzarella salad. The Hake fish looked amazing as well. Although there was a delay in getting our meal, the service was wonderful. A must try! Be sure to make...reservations.More

I had a wonderful time at Fenton's with my wife for dinner. We each had the steak, which was outstanding. We had Sticky Toffee pudding for dessert and Irish coffee, which was also very nice. The staff was extremely helpful and attentive. I would go...here again in a heartbeatMore

We came here for a family dinner. The restaurant is light and cozy and the service was prompt. Two of us are vegans, and we were disappointed to find that while there was a vegan main (falafel and hummus) on the menu, there was no...vegan bread or desserts. For the meat eaters, the hake was light and tasty but not extraordinary.More

Had read the reviews on Fentons, and they lived up to our expectations. The decor is lovely and the tables well spread out. The staff are very friendly, professional, and prompt. The menu had a great variety of fish dishes (why we chose it), but...also a wide range of non fish dishes. We had the mussels and oysters to start, and they were delicious. We both ordered lobster for main and asked what size we would like, etc. The lobster was beautiful and served with a choice of sauce and chips and side salad. We were too full for dessert, but there was a great selection. There was also a great drinks menu. Will definitely be back!More

Knowing Pat for as many years as I care to remember, it is always a treat to return to her lovely Restaurant in the beautiful town of Dingle. A gathering of my friends joined to celebrate my Birthday last weekend and Pat and her wonderful...team led by Janet looked after us royally. We started with Goats cheese, oysters & scallops followed by the most delicious Hake, Lobster & Dexter Sirloin finishing with the most amazing homemade ‘Birthday Cake’ filled with fruits, cream & light & airy sponge. Just delicious. I’m partial to a drop of Gavi di Gavi and Pat’s wine list offers a particularly fruity bottle. The team at Fentons are an amazing bunch, each with their own story, that go out of their way night after night to happily create good memories for others. Enough said for now. See you again dear friend, don’t know where don’t know when. CatherineMore

This is a rather pretentious restaurant that is poor value for money. Dishes were a bit weird: why have three different potatoes on the same dish? Carb overload, or what? Hardly any vegetarian dishes. If you want to spend well over 100 euro on an...ordinary single meal for two (with wine) then you might like it. I didn't. What made it even worse was that we were asked five times if our meal was OK. I mean, five times! We hardly had time to actually eat.More

You are spoilt for choice at this lovely restaurant in the heart of Dingle on Green Street. Be it Oysters, Mussels, Scallops, Lobster, Hake, or Black Sole, you will have a delicious meal. Pat & Janet run the front of house with charm & humour,...while the chefs out back create delicious plates of food to eat. The wine list has some really good choices. We chose the Gavi, which was excellent. The homemade desserts are to die for. This family run restaurant is definitely one of the best in Dingle & well worth a visit. Best book as it is very busy.More

We had the scallops and the hake-scallop fillet with green beans, asparagus, and potatoes. Everything was fresh and so tasty. The restaurant was lovely and our order came out very quickly. A relaxing and delicious dinner!

We were in Dingle for 3 nights and ate at Fenton's on the last. It was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered scallops and I ordered lamb, then we switched halfway through. Both were fantastic, accompanied by a glass of the Spanish wines (one red for...the lamb; one white for the scallops) recommended. Loved the bright, cheerful, comfy interior. The hostess and servers were very friendly, helpful, efficient, and nice. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. Reservation is probably neededMore

We had a delicious and enjoyable meal in a friendly and cozy environment. The calamari was a nice starter, with the scallops as main course. All was delicious, with a nice wine to accompany the meal.
