Consistently great food and service. It's by far my favourite restaurant in Howth.
We were here on Saturday night, and yet again the food wowed me. Started with the Buffalo Prawns which as always were so delicious. Went for the Crab and seafood cannelloni for mains (a first for me) and it certainly didn't disappoint.
The service is always spot on, the lovely staff always make you feel so welcome and at ease. Highly recommend the Oar House if you have never been.
This place is a little bit special. 13 of us booked for lunch today. We arrived 30 minutes early and it was not a problem. Our table was ready and we were made very welcome. The staff were outstanding, friendly and professional. It was obvious they all genuinely enjoyed working there, great atmosphere. A special mention to Emer Rooney, couldn't do enough for us. The food was fabulous, we had so much to choose from, everyone was impressed so we all had to sample each other's food. You can book a private room upstairs if you prefer but we loved being in the main restaurant, soaking up the atmosphere and amazing views. We will be back , put it on your list of places to eat �
After reviewing the menus of several of the restaurants along the street out group of 8 chose to the Oar House. Sat outside on the beautiful patio and started with an appetizer of a dozen oysters that were delicious! The combo of mussels, crab claws and prawns was in a wonderfully flavorful sauce with nice toasted bread on the side. The crab claws were large and the prawns nicely grilled. We also had several at the table who chose the special of the mixed grill of trout, sea bass and mackerel. Very good as well but the oysters and mussels/crab claws were the high points. Would definitely recommend this restaurant but get there early - definitely gets crowded!
Fabulous food, little on the expensive side but food was worth it . Certainly will be back and will recommend to friends. Try the buffalo chips they are one of the best sides ive ever had- don't know why they are not "a thing" in other restaurants!
Great place, great food, great service... one can say it is a bit expensive, but it’s worth it! And the quality does not vary between seasons as it can be the case for some places in Dublin...
Finally a place offering some food with nothing fried or roast or pie. We really enjoyed our food. Thx for that! Best food at the end of our trip we like used to eat and a moderate price.
Beautiful meal for my birthday- chowder was fab and crabmeat cannelloni was to die for .. great friendly service with the lovely Louise! - would highly recommend the Oar House �
Fantastic meal, great staff- so welcoming and friendly.
The seafood chowder was outstanding, as were the calamari, prawns and mussels. So fresh, and full of flavour. Would most def recommend a visit.
For me this is The place with a capital T, fantastic food and a nice atmosphere, the crew is so so friendly. This is one of two places in the world that is from now and onwards a place I will visit atleast once everytime I’m visiting Irland.
Went here yesterday for lunch and already planning on returning to try more of the menu. Had the calamari, oysters and Fish Soup. Superb food which does not compromise on quality, friendly and professional staff in a rustic nautical setting. Have been to a few restaurants in Howth and this is my new favourite. Will be recommending. Thanks again. Will be back soon! :)
Haven't been for a while but have to say prawns and crab claws were fantastic as was the baked Ray enjoyed every mouth full, staff were friendly polite and helpful will be certainly making a return visit , thanks for a wonderful meal X
We had a great meal yesterday in the great room upstairs. Beautiful seafood and Sancerre!
Fresh fish...? More than fresh! The biggest and freshest Fish and Chips I've ever eaten ( I shared it with my son ). Only one tip: why not some more Italian wine labels?
Great location, great staff, great food, great everything! �� Recommend the fish & chips ��
