I had similar views to many of the other comments submitted earlier. We sat outside in a beautiful dining area where the sun shone. The food was very good, I had the chowder, it had a tomato base and was extremely tasty. The hake was delicious. The salmon was nice but my friend described the sauce as a little sweet.... More

Crab risotto & tuna were amazing! A little pricey, but the food was worth it. More

I recently visited this restaurant for lunch. It is a very nice restaurant with good layout and decor, however I was surprised at the price of the dishes. It appeared to be a dinner menu with not many dishes belo €20, which in my opinion aren't ideal prices for lunch. However the food was good with equally good service, but... More

We arrived with no reservation and were seated at once. We both ordered the steamed mussels; they were the best we ever had (and we have had many). The service was very good. The prices were reasonable, certainly no more than other places in Kinsale. Our waiter even found us a B&B, booked it for us and sent one of... More

Have been there on a few occasions with friends, food servings were a bit on the tight side and the wedges served in a small bowl. If you required more they were extra. My own personal experience is that you wouldn't want to be hungry going there. Overall a good restaurant but pricing over the top. More

Not sure if it was our waitresses first day, but she was awful. While I understand service in Ireland is not what it is in the US, she snickered at us when we ordered, didn't clear our plates and had a bad attitude. In the end, another waiter stepped it up and picked up her slack. The Food was OK,... More

I will start by saying this place seems like a good little restaurant. That being said, our experience overall wasn't very good. We arrived a bit late to Kinsale, and this restaurant was within walking distance from our hotel by the marina. We arrived around 8:45pm and the hostess informed us we couldn't get a table since they stopped seating... More

You MUST have a reservation to get in here. Food is high quality and very fresh. However, this was more expensive than othe restaurants in Kinsale and I'm not sure it was worth it. (Lunch was not any less exoensive than dinner.) Fishy Fishy also has a smaller cafe at another location. It is known for simpler fare (tempura fish... More

Superb food, great service, reservations are required, not a chance of a table unless you book 2-3 days in advance but OMG worth the wait! More
