The Boatyard Restaurant in An daingean

20/03/2025: Three stars because we found Land to Sea significantly overrated given recommendations, and the combination of food quality, service and price. We went here on the basis of its Michelin recommendation, which in our experience has been usually very aligned with our tastes and expectations. This was a rare miss in this regards. The food was good, but nothing spectacular and overall sort of bland. This comment does not come from one "off dish", but cut across all 6 dishes we ordered. Moreover, the service and atmosphere was pretty standard. Like several other reviewers, and locals who we shared with afterward, we remain perplexed as to why this restaurant receives such high accolades. Frankly, we have had many better meals in the last few years across Ireland and elsewhere at a lower price. Indeed, there are at least two places within a few blocks in Dingle that meet this criteria. In the end, when asked for dessert and already confronted with overpricing, we opted for ice cream down the street.

16/03/2025: We had great expectations, went for early bird menu as times suited. Menu was deceiving, had a glorified sausage roll for main course. I honestly can't get over how poor it was. Overall for €45 pp it was very disappointing (no drinks). I am used to eating at nice restaurants however this was a shocking waste of money (terrible). We won't be returning.
