The Oyster Tavern Tralee Co.Kerry

Myself and my husband had a fantastic meal here on the 11th of June 2025. You will not leave hungry. The portion sizes are big. The selection and specials are amazing. We had the cold and hot seafood section, which was amazing. The staff are wonderful and very attentive. Highly recommend 👌

Very good place for a dinner, is a bit loud inside but you can find a spot in the place for a more private date. Highly recommended. Contrs: is expensive.

This place was such a treat for the weary travelers that my Dad and I were at this point in our epic Ireland adventure. The wonderful manager at the Ballyroe Heights Hotel had sent us here to wait for our bed and breakfast owners to make it back from Dublin. The staff was so gracious and accommodating. First let's start with the food though. The oysters were amazing. We got both the natural and grilled oysters to start both were amazing! Then we both got different seafood specials that didn't disappoint. Then the staff were such great people we couldn't thank them enough. We left to meet the B & B owners nobody was home. We ended up coming back my phone was useless in the area and we couldn't get ahold of the owners. They called them found out they got held up by an accident on the way. So we ended up just having to hangout with the great staff in a wonderful place until the owners came and joined us before heading back for the night. What a fun experience and so happy to be able to share it with the great food and staff at The Oyster Tavern!

Food was wonderful - very tasty ! It was a busy dinner service with all the tables taken. The only downside was that the food came out too quickly after each course. After ordering we had starters within 5 minutes, then once finished it was cleared straight away and the mains arrived less than 10 minutes after. We all left something from the main as the food didn’t have enough time to settle .. 15-20 min between clearing is ideal. We all felt like we were rushed

Incredible Dover Sole 🐟! Very friendly service. Very happy and satisfied all around. Thanks!

My friend and I went to The Oyster Tavern for a meal on a Saturday night. For starter I got the red onion and brie tart-it was tiny! Looked ridiculous on the large plate. 5% pastry, 5% brie , 90% red onion. Not nice! My friend got the garlic mushrooms -a much bigger portion and very tasty! Our mains were unbelievable, so so tasty. I got the hot fish selection, my friend the monk fish In a prawn and leek sauce. Both were 10 out of 10. Personally I don't think steamed carrots and peppers suffice as a veg side but that's just my opinion! Had plenty mash and chips. The dessert. To be honest we were both stuffed but looked at the menu anyways! And I remembered their famous chocolate fondant! We had to get it but could only manage one between us. This has significantly decreased in size and was just cakey, no oozy inside. We didn't bother to finish. Very disappointed. There was a hurling match on the TV so it was naturally very busy, and loud! We waited for ages for somebody to pass to ask for the bill. That didn't happen. So I got up and went and asked for it. I was asked to hang on while it printed and was handed a piece of paper... We waited at our table for a bit but my friend eventually had to get up to pay as she was paying with card. Not the end of the world but shouldn't have happened. When the service was good it was really good, and prompt but when it was not good it was really not good. Having said that everyone was very pleasant. A very mixed bag....

Didn't have a reservation and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and to go to the bar, wanted to give a name but they said they'd remember us. Forgot about us and waited over an hour. Bar lively with locals. Variety of dishes. Raw oysters plate with fresh local fare was delicious. Nice rack of lamb, and a brief Bartlett, good portions.

Menu needs a bit of work TBH. Fish platter too big. Staff lovely and lovely old fashioned vibe. Very friendly. Enjoyed our night and a couple of drinks in the bar.
