The Seafood Café by Niall Sabongi

I had fairly high expectations from the raving reviews of this piece, but was still pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food was high and it was clear everybody was dedicated to and knowledgeable of their craft. The staff made the time and effort to introduce the menu, including their selection of locally sourced oysters. And they were some of the freshest and best oysters I've had in a while. Same goes for the lobster. The price point was very reasonable especially when considering the quality of the food and the service. Definitely would recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of having lunch at The Seafood Café by Niall Sabongi, and it was an amazing experience! I tried the linguine with crab, some scampi, and fresh crab claws — everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavour. The quality of the seafood was outstanding, and the service was exceptional: friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what they do. We paired our meal with a French Chardonnay, and also enjoyed some Bloody Marys and other cocktails — all perfectly made. We’re already planning to come back on Monday for the Happy Hour with oysters and champagne. Definitely one of the best seafood spots in Dublin!

We had an amazing experience here. Felt really well taken care of and got great recommendations for wine and fish. We came to Dublin to see a show this time, but our next visit will definitely be just to eat here again!

This was hands down the best dinner I had during my 2 week visit to Ireland and I will not soon forget it. The Dublin Bay prawns were so fresh and delicious (and very messy)! I had never had double fried chips (fries) before and could not stop eating them. I can't remember the name of the dessert, but it had gooseberries and mascarpone and it was incredible! Our waitress was very nice and attentive and we enjoyed people watching in the outdoor seating.

Excellent food; top quality, fresh ingredients. My only gripe would be that they only had Madri lager - something less brand / premium would have been nice. The service was really good; very attentive. Good atmosphere but it’s quite a small place so a little cramped. We sat in the window which was good for people watching but a little awkward when the tour groups stopped by as they were stood directly facing us trying oysters and watching us eat.

Food was delicious. Had sardines on toast with heirloom tomatoes for starters and scallop risotto for mains. Fresh and flavourful! Service was excellent too.

Super fresh oysters and great service from Barry and the team. The space has a laid back feel with plenty of charm. Only negative note was the humongous amount of sliced garlic in the linguine, which I didn’t expect for a €30+ pasta dish. Nevertheless, would recommend (not to a vampire though), mussels were great and plate sizes were generous. Would recommend especially for the oysters, best ones on our Irish trip!

Their grilled seabream was awesome! The flesh was moist, and the silght oiliness made the flavor even better, while the skin was crispy and well-seasoned with salt. The garnish also complemented. One thing to note: the check included an extra tip. They said it was optional, but it seemed to be already added.
