Lobster Pot in Dublin

The decor is outdated, service was too much- 5 staff are standing there staring at you and waiting for you to finish your meal. Food was exceptionally fresh- loved my sole. No privacy at the table

The restaurant and bar were an immaculate amalgamation of traditional Irish pub, rustic seafood cuisine and a modern standard exceeded at every opportunity. James is a charming and welcoming host and we will be back again in a hurry.

Wow , this is a great fish restaurant. Staff very noligable and friendly. Food absolutely spot on . Very tasty . Would highly recommend

Mixed experience. The food was very nice- fresh fish, nice veg and potatoes. Bread was old, cold, not homemade and hard. The service was awful- the head waiter would not let the younger guys to take food orders and i personally did not like his manners- he acted rushed and frustrated when you were asking him questions about the dishes. The younger waiting staff were nice but seemed to be afraid of him. Too many waiters then were standing in a row staring at you ( literally at your mouth) as you were eating and the minute your dirty spoon was on the table they were racing to pick it up- there were no privacy whatsoever, waiting staff was constantly beside you or behind you topping up your water/ wine every two minutes, picking up one dirty spoon etc- there was no need. All other customers could also hear your conversation ( and were getting involved in it) and you could not help to hear theirs. Personally I like a bit of privacy when I am dining out. The decor and the menu were like a blast from the past- need modernisation and upgrading. The wine had a screw cup which is a huge no no in a restaurant (in my personal opinion). Overall- amazing, fresh well cooked food, not a great service or ambience.

Old style restaurant. Good food, great spectacle.

Intimate and elegant with wonderful menu. A must when in Dublin!

Lesson learned. Make sure to ask the prices to avoid negative surprise, especially when the prices are not published. When I asked for one side of vegetables with creamed spinach, he offered to add some potatoes without saying it was an additional order. And a single glass of house wine was overpriced. I left with the impression that they made some of the prices up as they thought they could. When I asked a question the waiter just said ‘sorry’ I thought you would want that in addition to what you ordered, without specifying that it was an additional order. At this place, ask and double check what they will be charging you for and avoid them saying ‘sorry’ when your bill arrives and you must pay whatever they scribbled on the handwritten bill. Good luck with your expense claim for business trips!
