We've been many times before and have loved it but the chef surpassed themselves on Saturday night. The food was absolutely amazing. I think it's the nicest meal we've had there even though they have all been beautiful. I have to commend the chef and of course the front of house staff too Always so welcoming and courteous. CNt wait to see what I'll have the next time I'm there

We visit each Aug when we are in Kilkee and always look forward to it. Service very good as usual, lovely young man , with good knowledge about the menu. Menu same as last year , short but with nice variety. Specials up on a blackboard on the wall, you had to leave your seat to read them, not a big deal for people with good eyesight and mobility. Not ideal though. Will return next year

Food was good but delivery was too fast. Amuse bouche, breads, starters and main courses completed in 50 mins which is unacceptable. Wagu beef that was advertised on the menu did not taste like melt in the mouth beef.

Lovely restaurant with fabulous food. Service was great, lovely young man dealt with our table. One small negative was that they had no fresh cream for my dessert only offered ice cream. But that was minor overall and we had a fabulous meal

Best in the general location of kilkee and surrounding towns/villages On a par with menu prices but far exceeds value and quality. Space is limited and tables very close together. For some this may create an intimate feel and for others not so much so. All in all by far the best food experience around

This is a beautiful restaurant. The food was outstanding. Michelin star food and very reasonable priced. Our server Maggie front of house was very attentive and informative. Could not recommend pollock and porter enough. Its a hidden gem and deserves 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ when in kilkee make sure to make this restaurant top of your list ❤️

The best service I have ever experienced in a restaurant. The manager was clearly passionate about the food and how she treated her staff was admirable. The food was delicious, the lamb was the best I've ever tasted. Cocktails were fantastic. 5 star all the way!
