The Tan Yard in Killarney

Ate the best piece of lamb I’ve ever had! A wonderful experience.

We accidentally stumbled into this place but absolutely loved it! It’s French style food. Excellent hospitality, friendly staff. Lovely view of the St. Mary’s church.

What a great find. From the moment we entered until we left our waitress was attentive and couldn’t have been better. The food was superb. I sampled the seared tuna to start and the cod as a main. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. Would highly recommend this. One of the best meals I’ve had for a while.

Excellent service, beautiful setting, amazing kitchen skills. We really enjoyed our time here.

We visited The Tanyard for our anniversary dinner and came away feeling a little disappointed overall. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a lovely atmosphere that makes it a great setting for a special occasion. The service was also excellent throughout the evening – every member of staff we interacted with was genuinely friendly, attentive and professional. To start, we ordered the scallops and the beef tartare. While both dishes were well presented, we felt they lacked a little seasoning and depth of flavour, so neither really stood out. For our mains, we both ordered the fillet steak. My wife’s was cooked perfectly to her requested medium rare and she really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, mine arrived closer to medium than medium rare, which was disappointing, particularly given the price point. At €45 for a steak, I also expected a higher-quality side than the chips that were served, which reminded me more of fast-food style fries than those you’d expect in a restaurant of this calibre. Overall, the service was the standout and certainly deserved five stars, but we felt the food didn’t quite live up to the standard or price. With a few improvements in consistency and attention to detail, it could be an excellent dining experience.

Wonderful welcome, delicious food. Excellent value for money. We highly recommend it.

Very nice place with delicious food and very friendly staff, would highly recommend!

The food was tasty, the portions were small, and the staff were friendly. However, there were a couple of unpleasant situations. First, the food I didn't finish and asked to take away was thrown out because they thought I wanted them to "take it away." At the beginning of our visit, I asked them to put my container in the fridge. I didn't say there was a cake inside (I was bringing it to my parents). At the end, my mom mentioned that it was my birthday and asked if they could congratulate me. The staff took my cake out of the container without asking, decorated it with berries and candles, and brought it out. Thank you for the gesture, but you should have asked for my permission before taking my cake.

It was absolutely delicious and highly recommended! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The desserts, in particular, are highly recommended. The scallops were also fantastic! We'd love to come back again!

The food here was decent and the service was amazing as they managed to accommodate for parts of our group that had to leave early. We had the set menu and most of the things we got were nice. I had the croquettes for my starters and it was crunchy and creamy. I also tried the roasted baby beetroot which was nice and sweet. For my main, I had the sirloin cooked medium and it was nicely cooked albeit a little bit under seasoned. Lastly for the dessert, the cheesecake was a little bit too rich making it hard to complete the entire portion but the yuzu cake was nice with the perfect amount of acidity. Overall, a good dinner 👍
