The venison was properly tender, loads of flavour in it. Shellfish starter was a nice little trio, each one done different. That was the standout for me. Rest of it was fine but nothing I&#39;d be rushing back for. Decent feed overall, just not sure it lives up to the hype.

Sandwiches were fresh and well-filled, decent price for the portion. Nice clean spot for a quick lunch.

Stopped in for dinner last week and ordered the lobster bisque&mdash;honestly, it&rsquo;s been a while since a soup hit that hard. Rich, creamy, proper depth of flavour. I paired it with a glass of Sancerre and that combo alone made the night. Service was attentive without hovering. Place was a bit loud by 8pm, but I&rsquo;d still go back for that bisque.

Great spot for catching up with friends over food. Portions are proper and the flavours were spot on. Staff didn&#39;t rush us even when it got busy.

Solid pints, no question. Proper local feel to the place. Bar staff were sound, didn&#39;t have to wait long at all. Just a decent spot for a quiet one. Wish I lived closer, honestly.

Gochujang udon had a proper kick, pad thai was decent too. Solid spot for Asian fusion in Killarney, wasn&#39;t expecting much but it delivered.

Came here for Sunday lunch and honestly the 3 courses for &euro;31.50 is a steal. The crabmeat and camembert risotto was unreal. Views over Cromane are a nice bonus too.

Stopped in for dinner, wasn&#39;t sure what to expect. Seafood chowder was the move, proper thick and full of fish. Wine list is decent too, not crazy overpriced. Service was sound, friendly without hovering. Place has a nice warm vibe, easy to sit and chat for a while. Maybe a bit quiet for a Tuesday but that&#39;s on me.

Came in for the early bird menu and honestly, for the quality of the ingredients, the price is fair. Each dish had real care put into it. Not the cheapest spot, but you can tell where the money goes. I&#39;d come back for that menu again.

The thin crust pizza is proper &mdash; you can tell they don&#39;t skimp on ingredients. Staff were sound, even the owner came over for a chat. Decent spot.

The seafood tower for two &mdash; that&rsquo;s the one to get. Oysters were cold and briny, prawns had a proper snap to them. Even the crab came out clean, no mess. The wine the waitress picked went well with it, though I wasn&rsquo;t paying much attention to that part. Just the food, really. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re after shellfish.

The veggie soup here was honestly the best I&rsquo;ve had in ages. Staff were really welcoming too, even took a minute to point out a few spots nearby worth checking out. Sat near the window, no rush at all. Just a lovely, easy lunch. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind going back if I&rsquo;m ever in the area again.
