O’Neill’s doesn’t need my endorsement, as they are packed to the gills (sorry) every night. We loved the place so much, though, that I want to say so publicly. Also want to urge non-locals not to miss it. Waits are long, but an hour waiting for a table here — with a pint or two, surrounded by welcoming locals and regulars — is more pleasant than a “Right this way,” at most restaurants. The host and staff are so kind and good-humored, and the waiting crowd equally so. I had more nice chats with strangers than I have in a month in the U.S. The seafood, once you get it, is also surpassingly delicious. I’m from the American Northeast, but this was probably the best Atlantic lobster I’ve ever had, as well as some of the best oysters, best crab claws, best cold crab salad… We ended up returning several times and I have no regrets that we didn’t branch out more. Time spent eating and loitering here is an immersion in several of the things that make Ireland, and Kerry, very special.
