Had our thirtieth birthday meal here. The food here never disappoints. We all had the set menu and its great value. Garlic spuds are epic, although there could have been a choice of mash or roast instead of chips as my mom eats neither of these. The beg however was also lovely and there was so much of it. A great night, relaxed atmosphere, good company and good food.

Our hotel booked us a table and we are dang pleased they did. Took a taxi over then walked back. Found all the locals here celebrating birthdays, enjoying family gatherings and generally having a good time. Almost no tourists. FIsh, Fish, Fish. Fresh and delicious. Waterfront views.

Iâm not quite sure why anyone would think this place in any way resembles a âgenuineâ locals pub, not unless the majority of locals all speak with American accents. Thatâs not say thereâs anything particularly wrong with it, itâs in a good location and the food is certainly adequate. More disappointing is the selection of drinks, which is basically the same as in any other pub in Kinsale. It consists of the âtokenâ local beer, the KPA, from the Blacks Brewery, and then there's the usual mixture of mega-brands, often pretending to be something theyâre not. e.g. The tasteless Smithwicks âbrandâ is mass produced by Diageo at its Dublin brewery, alongside Guinness. As is Hop House 13, a âbeerâ which is shamelessly marketed as some sort of âcraft aleâ. So, if youâre happy to be surrounded by fellow tourists eating standard pub grub and drinking beer that mainly comes from a huge factory in Dublin then this place will be fine.

I really wanted to like this place. The food was well prepared and overall very good. Our server, however, had a real edge to her. You couldn't tell sometimes if she was kidding you or making fun of you. It was a little weird. Also, we were of the understanding that there was no tipping expected in Ireland. Their charge machine, however, was set up to ask for a tip. Then the person stood right over you to watch what you did while deciding. I have to ask myself if the customers had been Irish and not American would this screen have even been presented to them? It was a bit off-putting for all of us.

Called here for a quick Sunday lunch. Same menu and price in bar as main dining room. Very pleasant lady took our order and served us with a hot fish pie and cod and chips with leaves lightly coated with an excellent dressing; 2 glasses of a rather dry pinot grigio. All for â¬50

Excellent as always. From the starter of Lobster Mac & Cheese to the amazing steak ,it couldnât have been any better. Every time we go I have to have the steak, the menu advises that it comes from the âfamily farmâ & there must be a lot of work involved as itâs one of the best in the country. The desert was gorgeous too & a great wine list. All in all hard to beat & guaranteed amazing food.

I didn't give Max's an Excellent because we were seated next to a family with three bratty, indulged little girls. They were annoying. I like children, but not when their antics display poor upbringing. Anyway, given the rest of this review, you may or may not think I was overly critical.We arrived in Kinsale well into the dinner hour. Almost every dining place in town was full with a long wait, or not even open. At Max's they told us they were full, but then they did some creative re-arrangement and found us a table. This and the rest of the service were excellent. We got a half-dozen local oysters and a braised pork belly entree. All their food is locally sourced where possible, and they even identify the sources. Unfortunately, we were not overly hungry, so we probably didn't do their menu full justice. Atmosphere was cozy and tasteful, and the prices were only a little on the high side of reasonable.

Gorgeous evening overlooking the water and setting sun with the vivacious Natasha providing us excellent service. Four of us enjoyed duck spring roll special for starter, together with menu item calamari, very lighted breaded and flavorful. Also chose specials for main, two of the crushed and seared tuna and two of a monk fish and scallop duo over just perfect risotto. Both outstanding. The location is a few kilometers from town Centre but worth the trip. Stairs to climb above the co located pub.

On my last visit to Kinsale the Supper Club was in a different location but left lasting memories.My most recent visit found them in newer premises and more in the main âwalkingâ streets of Kinsale.If anything the Supper Club has not only moved but managed to become an even nicer and more memorable place to visit.Exceptional service and a clear menu plus daily specials and of course the incredible cocktails.The fish dishes are cooked to perfection and beautifully served - I had cooked mussels coated with a crumb...followed by John Dory - spectacular. Others has ribs to start and a steak - There are options for light bites, Supper and Main courses to suit every single taste. Smiles all round from the moment you enter to the time you leave...however you really need to book to ensure a place -
