The pork ribs were the real deal&mdash;fell right off the bone and had this smoky sweetness I wasn&#39;t expecting. Honestly could&#39;ve ordered a second plate just for myself. Service kept things moving without hovering, which I appreciated. Place was buzzing but not chaotic. Would come back just for those ribs, no question.

Stopped in on a whim, glad I did. The scallops were spot on, really well seared. Had the sea bass too, flaked perfectly. Wine list is mostly Italian, found a nice bottle that didn&#39;t break the bank. Place was a bit busy, but service kept up alright. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try more.

Great pint of Guinness and the stew hit the spot. Sat outside watching the world go by. Service was quick enough for a lunch stop.

Solid pint of Guinness and the seafood chowder was packed&mdash;under a tenner too. Staff were sound. Can&#39;t complain for a quick stop in Kenmare.

The pad thai was spot on, proper flavours. Place gets packed though, so you&#39;ll be waiting if you didn&#39;t book. Worth it for the food.

The beef Wellington was unreal, proper melt-in-your-mouth stuff. Great spot for catching up with friends over dinner.

Stopped in for breakfast during a work trip. Staff were sound, even chased us out with a forgotten phone. Food was decent, the full Irish did the job. Place has that proper family-run feel, nothing fancy but you&#39;re looked after. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The beef lasagna was lovely, proper comfort food. The bacon cabbage with mash was good too. Service was friendly enough, though I did have to wait a bit for the bill.

The sirloin steak was proper good&mdash;medium rare just as I asked, really juicy. Prawn cocktail starter was decent too, plenty of prawns in it. Place was busy enough on a Tuesday night but we got seated quick. Only thing, the chips could&#39;ve been hotter. Still, I&#39;d go back for that steak again.

Got a table straight away on a Friday night, which never happens. The duck breast was cooked properly, pink in the middle like it should be. Pork apricot was decent too, though I&#39;d say the duck was the better of the two. Staff were sound, looked after us well enough. Place was busy but we weren&#39;t rushed.

Decent curry house. Staff knew their menu, pointed us to a good mixed thali. Portion size was fair for the price. Service was quick enough, no complaints.

The curries and crispy duck are always spot on. Portion size is decent for what you pay, though I wouldn&#39;t say it&#39;s cheap. The dining room looks fancier than the bill suggests, which is a nice surprise. Staff were polite enough. I&#39;d stick to eating in rather than getting a takeaway, the food just hits different when it&#39;s fresh.

Stayed overnight in the car park with the campervan and the staff were dead sound about it. Even stuck the rugby on the telly for us. Fair play to them.

Loved the outdoor heated seating, proper spot for watching the street go by. Had the cider, went down a treat with the meal. Service was grand, no complaints there. Only thing, it got a bit busy later on, but that&#39;s on me for staying so long. Decent spot altogether.

The seared sea scallops were spot on, really fresh. My 8oz filet was cooked well too. Price felt fair for the quality you get.

Came for the dinner, live music was decent craic. Lamb shank fell off the bone, prawns were fresh enough. Place had a good buzz to it. Bit loud if you&#39;re after a quiet chat, but sure that&#39;s part of it. Solid feed overall.

Service&#39;s a bit hit or miss. First time was grand, quick and friendly. Second visit we waited ages for drinks and food even though the place was half empty.

Nice cocktails and a menu that&rsquo;s got plenty of options without being too much. Prices are a bit steep but you&rsquo;re paying for the quality. Solid spot for a proper dinner.
