Fine dining in comfortable cozy space. I had crab salad (which reminded me of Jean Robert's in Cincinnati), risotto, and lemon tart -- all outstanding. Very nice servers. More

I think this is also called 'Wild Garlic'? If so, the food is stunning. I couldn't possibly describe how good it was so if you're in the area you will be very happy if you choose to eat here. Really hard to decide which is the best restaurant in Kenmare becuase the quality is so high but this place really... More

Good food but too few staff - pity - the experience was a disappointment as our main course was so delayed - I hope they get more staff before the summer season More

This restaurant came highly recommended. When ordering our meal I specifically told the waitress that I had an aversion to onions and that I did not even want a dressing of chives or spring onion on my meal. I ordered the venison which I did not have in a while and was looking forward to it. I order the veg... More

Although Mulcahy's is now known as the Wild Garlic it is still under the same ownership and the food and service are as good as ever. Don't miss it when you're in Kenmare. More

Wonderful food. Excellent Seafood Ravioli. Staff exceptionally friendly. Went two nights in a row because it was so good. The ambience of the restaurant is also lovely. If I lived in Kenmare I would visit once a week - that's how good it was. Paul and Mary, Dublin More

No longer called Mulcahy's, this fab spot has been recently renamed "The Wild Garlic". My wife and I went for dinner there last weekend - we were in Kenmare for the weekend and wanted to explore a little further than our hotel. The food and the service was great. My wife had bruschetta followed by monkfish and loved it. I... More

We stayed upstairs at Virginia's Guest House, so this was the easiest resturant to get to. Boy are we glad we went. My wife siad the chicken was the best she has ever had, anywhere. The food was excellent and the presentation was delightful. More

We had a great dinner here in July. We sat in the bar area and had wine while waiting for our table. The hostess/bar staff was extremely friendly and she was very helpful in selecting the wine and she told us about the specials of the evening. We eventually moved into the dining room, which was candle-lit and modern, warm.... More
