- I had dinner with my wife and son in Sole Seafood and Grill in April 2024. The experience was excellent. This was the first time that I have ever experienced the amazing power of excellent food, wine and service to completely mask and deflect the pain of a very difficult day. A remarkable experience. Thankyou to all of the staff at Sole. Fearghal
@Scenic22941487351Reviewed January 2025 - Very nice restaurant with great food and service. Pricey but good. Nice athmosphere. I'd go back but will wait until I'm rich.
@davet924Reviewed January 2025 - Amazing! Food was 10/10. We ordered the Beef Carpaccio and Crab Claws to start and Rib Eye Steak and Sea Bass for mains. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Great service from Gabriel.
@160hollyfReviewed January 2025 - Great seafood and our waiter, Gabriel, was excellent. He steered us to wonderful food and wine choices. His warmth and knowledge of the menu made it a first rate dining experience.
@Z812ZKlisabReviewed January 2025 - Walked by this spot earlier in the week on vacation and as two guests walked out they told us how they were visiting and already came back twice to this spot. We made a reservation for two days later and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed. Gabriel, our server, was fantastic. Highly recommend the seafood platter and lobster! The passion fruit mousse and an espresso martini were the best way to finish off the meal. Don’t miss out on this place the next time you’re in Dublin! Happy New Years!
