Tasty dinner and cocktails

Aug 2020 • none

We visited the place on Sunday evening and it was full, so booking in advance well recommended. They serve lovely cocktails and have tasty wine. The tapas menu is nice, we shared a portion of crispy squids which was a perfect started for two. Then we both had a grilled hake with additional french fries and a side salad. The portion was just perfect, not too big so we still had enough space for a dessert. The dessert was tasty, but very small (french puff pastry with cream and fruits) so I would order something else next time. The service was super fast, staff nice, but not overly friendly. The covid-19 rules followed. The prices are very reasonable and we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Excellent ambience and enjoyable meal

Jul 2020 • none

We dropped in "on spec", c 18.00, on way back from a drive. Looking for a table without a reservation at present, even at such an early time, was always going to be risky. The hostess at the door was very friendly and accommodating. She managed to provided us with a table, subject to vacating within the hour. . The restaurant is located in an old church (C of I). It has been converted in a very tasteful way with plenty of "spanish" elements in play. Overall a lovely ambience. The main dining area is on the ground floor and while our table was on the less attractive mezzanine level it still met our needs. We were more interested in the food than the decor on this ocassion! We had a shared stater of Empanadillas, followed by mains of Lamb Tagine and Chicken Cadiz with a side of French Fries. All very nicely presented and tastey. The starter comprised of 3 small Empanadillas, with a little garnish. Not really a sharing plate if you were hungry. The Tagine was nice, good portion and satisfying. No wow factor but good. The Chicken Cadiz was very tasty, again good portion but I'd suggest it needs to be server in a bigger dish to allow for more of the delicious sauce. A generous portion of fries was a necessary addition as there was no other garnish. We didn't have wine (for a change!) so can't comment on that aspect. Price wise the menu appears to be at the middle to upper end of the scale. Our meal, of one starter plus two mains, cost €40 before service. All COVID requirements were very well managed and evident. Service was friendly and efficient. We will definately return for another visit.

Worth visiting Killorglin just for this gem.

Aug 2021 • couples

From start to finish the meal was outstanding and staff couldn't do more to look after you and make you feel welcome. Set in a beautifully refurbished 200+ church with stained glass windows, it takes your breath away as you walk in. Starters were delicious, I could have happily eaten a huge plate of the mixed croquettes alone, but the sweet peppers stuffed with cod and hake starter had a sauce that we had to ask for a bread basket to mop it all up. Mains were chicken cadiz and the beef cheek. Chicken luxuriously coated in gratinated gouda and toasted almonds, and beef that was so tender you could eat it with a spoon. The chicken dish doesn't come with its own vegetables or accompaniments which is a shame, but there are plenty of options to choose and add to it. Had a very well made and delicious buttermilk panna cotta to finish along with a lemon polenta cake which was slightly overcooked and dry, but still quite nice. We finished our evening by moving outside with a tasty jug of fresh sangria and enjoyed the beautiful outdoor terrace that Sol y Sombra has to offer. Very reasonably priced overall and well worth booking in advance as this place is busy! Thank you very much for such a lovely evening. Your reputation is well deserved.

Aweful food, no-one taking responsibility.

Sept 2021 • none

I cannot understand how this restaurant has established such support as seen in the reviews . On the 25th of September, at this restaurant in Killorglin, I was presented with the worst plate of food I can ever remember having. I chose Hake, Basque style with sauce verde. What arrived in front of me was a dish containing a thick, green substance, which on penetration, was covering two pieces of hake, (silvery grey) skin side up. These, in turn. lay on a bed of glutinous, only just warm potato - I think it was potato because of the menu description. Here was a dish that could only appeal to Gollum! It was tasteless, which is extraordinary for a sauce flavoured with parsley. I let the waitress know how I felt about the food and she told me later that she'd conveyed my remarks to the manager. I waited for him to come to the table to deal with my complaint but he didn't appear and wasn't around on our exit from the restaurant for me to broach the problem with him. I wished to be discreet as I was dining with friends. It was seriously bad food that I was served that evening. I suspect from the viscous almost solid nature of the "sauce" and the glutinous, barely warm potato, that this dish had been hanging around for a while. There was certainly no freshness in evidence on the plate. An evening with friends was sadly spoiled by this disappoining experience.

Mediocre

Sept 2020 • couples

With all the reviews and awards we had high expectations of this restaurant,unfortunately it didnt live up to our expectations. The food was average, and the lack of small plates was disappointing for a tapas restaurant. The worst bit was the lack of service, having to call staff over to order more drinks and food, asking for menus to order the next course. The place wasnt even busy so no explanation to the poor service. Very disappointed.

Hugely disappointing food

Jun 2022 • none

10 Bridge St was formerly Sol y Sombra, a tapas restaurant, and its TA reviews are mostly from that time, which is misleading. We ate there several times previously and were never disappointed. This new iteration is a big disappointment. I ordered the charcuterie board (€9.80) as a starter. This turned out to be a basket of bread, a small pot of olives, and a few miserable slivers of salami sausage, each the size of a €2 coin – not enough meat to fill half a sandwich. My wife’s prawn starter (€9.90) was good. For a main course we both had butterflied chicken with hunter sauce and spiced couscous (€16.50). This was a trio of disasters – over-cooked leathery chicken, over-salted sauce and dry tasteless couscous. Definitely the worst dish I have eaten in a long time. We overheard a nearby diner complaining about his food. Not wishing to face further disappointment by ordering further courses we left. The wine was as it should be and priced about right. The service was efficient and friendly from a staff who deserve so much better from their management and kitchen. We will not return. Sol y Sombra RIP.

New Years with a twist, good food, a cocktail and a boogie

Dec 2019 • none

Last New Years eve already seems like a long time ago, not covid, we just decided to head out at the last minute and we called Sol y Sombra to see if they had space for us and they did, at the bar. That was fine for us late comers and we enjoyed some food, a cocktail and a few beers and rang in the midnight hour with some music. The business of the night dwindled at that stage but it was a memorable New Years eve for two. I have to say generally, I am not the biggest fan of Tapas, more options, more money but overall its doesn't totally rock my boat. That said, it was the overall feel, food and drink gives it ten out of ten...

Great Food in a Lovely Avenue

Aug 2020 • none

We are here last minute and with covid restrictions we though we wudnt get in. But they kindly set us a table outside in a lovely area out the back of the church. We ordered a bottle of wine and enjoyed the amazing taste of the various tapas on offer, highly recommend the shrimp which is fresh and has a lovely subtle chilli garlic sauce. Also the panna cotta desert was gorgeous.

Continues to impress

May 2021 • friends

The new outdoor dining area and drinks seating looks terrific. It felt like being aboard whilst sitting in the sunshine and enjoying the ambiance and atmosphere. The service was great. Very fast, polite and attentive. The new menu is superb. Delicious tapa and racion dishes. We tried 13 different dishes on the menu between 4 of us and each of them were absolutely delicious. Couldn’t fault the food at all. Yum!

Better than ever!

Jun 2022 • none

Fans of Sol y Sombra, don't despair...10 Bridge Street is awesome. We loved Sol y Sombra for the service, the atmosphere, and the tapas, and 10 Bridge Street delivers on all accounts. We can still order a tapas style dinner - they offer many interesting and flavorful small plates; I honestly think that over three visits in the past two months we have tried them all and I can recommend every one of them. The service is still professional and efficient, and the warm and friendly atmosphere hasn't changed a bit.

What an absolute find

Jun 2022 • family

We were using Killorglin as a base for visiting the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle peninsula, and ate here twice. It is a brilliant restaurant which should be packed every night. The setting, in an old church, is really stunning and very sympathetically decorated. The menu is very varied, with plenty of fresh, local produce but also spice and ethnic dishes. Everything is really well cooked and presented. We had a knockout Thai monkfish curry, local black pudding, excellent homemade Guiness bread, meltingly good braised beef, a perfect baked cheesecake, to name a few of the dishes that three of us tried over two nights. Great cocktail selection and very good wine list. Really well priced for the quality. Staff were so friendly and efficient, especially the wonderful Pablo, who served us both evenings. This is a really great restaurant, if you're in Killorglan you must try it, if you're not in Killorglan, it's definitely worth travelling for. Book ahead as they sometimes have private functions.

Gorgeous meal and lovely lovely staff

Aug 2021 • family

We had our first meal out since March 2020 here last week while on our family staycation to Kerry. We stumbled upon it when visiting Kilorglin and luckily we managed to get a table. What can I say but our experience from start to finish was superb. The ambience and setting both indoors and outdoors was beautiful, the staff are so friendly and attentive and the food is fabulous. It is no wonder this place appears to be a big hit with families and couples alike. Our waiter, Rafa, was particularly lovely and a big hit with our little boy who is 6. We will absolutely be back next time we are in Kerry! Well done to all the team at the restaurant for providing such a fantastic service!

Excellent food and Safety conscious staff

Jul 2020 • friends

I recently went to sol y sombra with my friend on a sunday evening fir some tapas and espresso martinis. As always the food was delicious and the cocktails were amazing. It was my first time there since covid 19 lockdown and I was so impressed by the safety measures in place! Our waiter was lovely, welcoming, and very chatty! He was telling us about the various training and courses the staff have completed to ensure that sol y sombra is a safe place to dine and that alone is reason enough to visit. The staff wore masks and were seen cleaning at regular intervals. Cannot recommend this place enough, is and always has been my favourite restaurant.

Aug 2022 • family

We are locals. We booked here on the night before puck which was a Tuesday. It was our 5th time visiting and the first 4 times were really good. The food was so bad most of us could not eat it. Also the service was rushed and we had long wait times.Will never go again and we are all locals.
