Hilliard's Killarney in Killarney

05/05/2025: Excellent sea food restaurant. The bar man does a great espresso martini.

04/05/2025: Dropped in without a booking in the early evening, mid week. Firstly I'd say the atmosphere scoring is because I was sat in between two tables of extremely loud tourists. There were several empty tables, but I understand that these could have been reserved for bookings shortly after my visit. Ordered the Squid (starter), gambas (starer), chips and a glass of Alberinio. The squid was tasty and cooked well. The salad that came with it was bland and sad. The gambas were tiny, maybe five prawns. They were overcooked, came sitting in far too much oil and the bread with it was stale. The chips were cooked well, but were lacking in salt. The alberinio was nice and served at the correct temp. Service was friendly, but a bit disjointed. Had to wait a while to order the bill and then pay the bill, please bring a card machine with the bill. Tbf there were two or three tables of tourists who appeared a bit demanding and needy, but maybe allow your bar person to collect payments when they're not busy, as was the case and they made eye contact with me numerous times while I was waiting to get the bill and then pay the bill. All in all, it was a bit meh for the price. I'd recommend to get their fried squid from their takeaway and save yourself a few quid, less hassle and far less loud and entitled and demanding tourists.
