Quay 16 in Dublin

Updated review (2025) - still a very beautiful location, lovely staff and all that, but the food is not longer great. Neither me nor my boyfriend finished our mains even though we were fairly hungry. Old review - Perfect restaurant. Even despite the really cool novelty that it was on a boat, the beautiful view of the surrounding area lit up and reflecting on the water, the food was absolutely flawless! The servers were lovely and prices were very reasonable considering how good it was.

Gorgeous experience dining at the MV Cill Airne! Party of three went for dinner at the MV Cill, and the experience was great! Dining in a boat was an amazing experience, and the staff are lovely too! We ordered the fish and chips, the seafood chowder and the aubergine and courgette tagine. All of the food was flavoursome, rich, fresh and filling! It was a great experience, would recommend!

Nice staff, good food. I enjoyed the place but the options are very less for vegan.

Can not recommend this place enough,food and staff was excellent

We normally love the food quality, ambience and staff of The Boat. We wanted to have a dinner during Valentine's day as we trust everything about this place. It was the first disappointing experince we had there. Bubbly on the arrival was really poor: we were served from 2 different nearly empty prosecco bottles and our glasses weren't filled same amount and the proseccos were different while seeing other tables were getting full glasses. We both ordered red pepper soup as starter, the soups were cold. I got chicken kiev which was nice and hot. But not the usual quality food we normally get there. My boyfriend got a lamb, nice but cold one. We asked for the bill and waited 15 mins to get it. I could understand the day could be busy, but overall experince was really bad. It was a 1-2 stars experience but since I love this place and giving 3 stars for all the times wr had great food and service. I hope they will match their normal food and serving standards.

Food, pints, atmosphere, prices! All great. Shout out to Randall the friendliest bouncer in Dublin and Shane for a killer pint! Love my local.

Great food, good drink selection and courteous/quick service. Background music is at a pleasant volume.

Great food and service. Brillant location

Excellent food and service. Nice boat experience

I ordered a smash burger but as can be seen in my photo it was very far from being smashed. Though it was still nice enough but I was disappointed. The staff were quick and attentive. It has a great atmosphere & novelty for the sheer fact it's a boat. Toilet could be nicer.
