The Seafood Cafe by Niall Sabongi in Dublin

Small place, but fantastic. Attentive and kind service and top oysters. We went here for happy hour and recommend it.

If you want to eat WELL it’s HERE Top fish FRIES 🍟 top all this eating very fresh inexpensive for the quality of the fish and the service ENJOY YOUR FOOD

The halibut and chips was just okay. Our server was very friendly but seemed very busy, we waited a long time to order, we waited a long time for our food, and then we waited a long time for the espresso martinis we ordered. The espresso martinis were worth the wait, however. Those were absolutely delightful.

We went here on a cold night, and ordered like half the menu. Everything was absolutely delicious. Every dish was packed with flavor and cooked with love by Lucas. A few nights later, we also went to the highly rated Matt the Thresher seafood restaurant, and was totally disappointed (see my separate review). Seafood Cafe was so good, that we went back again the day after Matt the Thresher for lunch. They also have a lunch special menu. Again, every dish was absolutely delicious and freshly cooked to order. Prices were also very reasonable, and worth every penny. Recommend reservations. If you love seafood, this is a must visit

Fantastic food hobbled by what appears to be bad restaurant setup. 2 servers, 2 cooks, and one dishwasher serving an entire restaurant and outside area. The servers seemed hamstrung by having to also shuck the oysters, weigh the lobsters (!), mix the drinks, and pour the pints. The fantastic cooks were similarly rammed cooking a wide variety of food including whole fish on the grill. This translated to us taking at least half an hour to get our mains. The door was not insulated and the bar seats were cold even when the door wasn't open, which was often because of what I said about the outside seats. The risotto was delicious, the contrast between the slightly crunchy sweet corn and the creamy risotto was amazing. The scallops were perfectly cooked and had a lovely char. The prawn linguine was amazing and the prawns cooked perfectly.

Abdolutley great. Friendly, good food, all what I've been looking for!

I found the food quite mediocre, unfortunately. A bit of a tourist trap. The garlic bread was good though.

Amazing food with amazing service. This evening exceeded my expectations. Totally recommend

Great spot in a sea of touristy mediocrity in Temple Bar area. It’s a teeny spot so go early or book a reso. Seafood is super fresh. I had scallops on the half shell and the parpadelle pasta. Drinks and wine were lovely, along with the warm, attentive service. Would recommend!

Stumbled across this place whilst trying to get a table for a birthday celebration on a busy Saturday night. Food and drink was divine. Lovely hospitality from the team . Would highly recommend.
