The best restaurants in Killarney

26/01/2025: Really bad experience! We were repeat customers and had really high hopes.We had booked for a table of 8 almost 2 weeks in advance, we arrived at our allocated time and went up to the host stand to let them know that we were here, we were immediately met with hostility, the manager Mark approached me and said “absolutely not no walk ins reservations only” I let him know we had a reservation and he said “oh yea,how?” I told him I made it online and went to find out booking confirmation, he didn’t even acknowledge what I said and just stormed off, when he came back a few mins later he screamed at my whole party in front of the restaurant “if yere even thinking about having a drink we better have ID”, we were eventually sat down however everyone was uncomfortable and wanted to leave- if we could have guaranteed that we would get a table of 8 in another restaurant we would have left but we couldn’t. The entire time we were being watched by other waitresses to report back to Mark what we were saying and doing. To make the experience worse dogs were left into the restaurant but they didn’t want us there. Olga our server was trying to compensate for her managers rude behavior and she provided wonderful service however this was over shadowed by the feeling of being unwelcome Will not be returning again

30/12/2024: We were in the danny mann for 14 of us and although they were very busy, the manager accommodated us on two separate tables. The food was out of this world and the service was top class. The staff were rushed off their feet as every seat was full. It was a great afternoon and we would highly recommend it.

04/03/2025: Rows and rows of beautiful whiskey bottles embrace you as you sit at the bar. This place is world class for Irish whiskey 🥃 selection coupled with truly welcoming service. The staff is very knowledgeable and at the ready. Ten beer 🍺 taps flowing with hard to find Irish ☘️craft. Food was solid as well! When in Killarney- stop on by for some good spirits. Cheers 🍻 Vern (La Cabra Brewing)

03/03/2025: House Ale's Beer and Stout sold here.Wine available also for those that prefer. The pizzas 🍕 looked and tasted lovely. I had the chorizo pizza and a slice of the chicken one.

Huge thanks from the O'Sullivan Family, Co Cork......

25/01/2025: Vivimos en el lugar y decidimos darnos un capricho con la cena. Teníamos el cangrejo / langostino en salmón ahumado y el brie para empezar, filete de filete para el plato principal. Todos los platos estaban muy bien presentados y muy sabrosos. Encantador ambiente en el restaurante. La dueña tomó nuestro pedido y es obvio que es muy apasionada por la buena calidad y el buen servicio. Sin duda volveremos pronto.

02/03/2025: I’ve visited the porter house multiple times over the past few weeks and it keeps getting better! Staff are always so welcoming and helpful. Food is unbelievable, I would personally recommend the Steak Sandwich and the Honey & Brie Garlic Bread 😋 I would recommend that you reserve a table as they are always busy. There is a great selection of spirits, wine, beer, whiskey, cocktails, mocktails, and 0.0% alcoholic drinks. Would definitely recommend friends and family to visit!
