We came here without a reservation. But we were seated immediately. We had 3 different people taking care of us throughout the night. Outstanding customer service!!!
The food was absolutely wonderful. 1 seafood dish and 1 vegetarian dish. Both were lovely! This is definitely the best dinner we've had in Ireland yet! Trust me, make a reservation and be ready to be spoiled. Kudos to the shorthanded staff that were rock stars throughout the evening! We will be back!

SeafoodTasty foodFriendly staff
food was amazing, oysters, lamb and fish incredible. now the cheesecake was out of this world. service and food was amazing
THE best strip sirloin I have ever had. The garlic butter, cooked perfectly, bacon, and pearl onions. Paul Hollywood could not have put together a better combo. This was a meal of pure bliss. I wanted more and sadly forgot my 2nd stomach.
The roasted chicken was very nice. Slightly overcooked however still tasty. The layered potatoe was very interesting. Lamination layers like I've never seen.
I highly recommend Kirby's. It was well worth it.
