My friends and I recently visited for a double date, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The ambiance was a vibe.

The food was absolutely tastebud memorable. Every dish was so beautifully presented that you can tell the chefs love their job and pride in their craft.

A special shoutout to Grace, who served our table. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. An amazing soul who made our evening even more special.

Overall, O’Dooles is fine dining at its absolute best. I’ll definitely be revisiting soon!

We had a really lovely experience in O'Dooles restaurant for my brother’s birthday.

The staff were fantastic and the food was amazing from start to finish.

Great cocktail menu and lovely bar area for a pre dinner drink. Margarita was fab.

The prawn starter was delish and the chickpea fritter to start was exceptional.
Everyone enjoyed the main courses the Seabass for me was perfect and so flavorsome and my brother was very happy with the Veal chop.

Desserts were great and the Cheeseboard - we are all still thinking about it!

Great atmosphere in the restaurant. We can’t wait to go back.

Thanks again to all the team at O’Dooles!

Harming little place in Kildare town, just off the main square. Small but incredibly flavoursome menu. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. In my opinion, the best restaurant in Kildare.
