Came to clonakilty camping and ate out twice before we discovered Whales Tail OMG it’s worth travelling here just to eat the food the other time atmosphere the setting indoors and outside is just amazing Irene was in total control and with such a pleasant attitude to customers and staff ensuring both guests and staff enjoyed being there Billy in the kitchen ensured exceptional service and an interesting menu full of variations for us to enjoy We came once and returned the following night before we went home we can’t recommend enough if you’re in Clonakilty don’t miss out on a wonderful experience

Delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Delicious dining experience! Firstly the venue had a great buzzing atmosphere especially for a Wednesday night. It looked great. We had some great drinks. Now the star of the show, the food … fabulous tastes and flavour. Spicy Sushi and a lovely chicken and potato main which also had a great source. If you’re passing by, you have to eat there !!

Good food, good service. Had seafood platter, would have liked more hot cooked seafood instead of the cold crab meat, smoked salmon and prawn cocktail and sushi but it was still good.

The Whales Tail Restaurant is exceptional. We have dined there on several occasions & it never disappoints. The food is excellent- have tried most dishes on the menu & have enjoyed everything. The attention to detail & combination of flavours is amazing. All staff are friendly & accommodating. 5 stars always

This place was great in every way!!

I don't usually write reviews but for this restaurant I did. It's easy to book a table online. A really nice big restaurant with nice chairs and seating and not too hot considering it was a very warm day. The staff were just brilliant, our server was a man and he was beyond helpful. Usually it is really difficult to please the members in my family due to being particular about fish ( no batter) and some of our family are vegetarian. The male server was able to get the chef to make a children's vegetarian/vegan dish. Which I have never had offered to me before and boy did it not disappoint! It was superb!! The hake dish and gnocchi were delicious. The blends of fresh ingredients and combinations were fantastically paired. I will definitely return to Kirby's. I couldn't rate it high enough.

Friendly attentive staff, delicious food and a spotless restaurant, a pleasure to dine in. We ll be stopping in again during the summer.
