The second night I had an appetizer of seafood chowder and the John Dory fish. The cheese cake was unique, , very satisfying taste of cocoa, and the crunchy and gritty texture really felt like Ferrero Roche. For the other dishes I found something interesting. The prawns and crab sandwiches tasted standard, but the oily sauce (prawns) and the sweet and sour puree (crab sandwiches) had exquisite flavor that made one want to finish them all with a piece of bread (which I did). On the other hand, the John Dory was nicely done, texture spot-on, juicy and savoy flavor, but the white sauce looked broken and watery, and the taste was a bit on the bland side. In general I enjoyed my experience, but I wonder if they could match the quality of the sauce and the main ingredients better :)

I ordered a cocktail that I'm assuming would be blocked via Yelp- so P-Star Martini is where we will end :-P It was good, but the best I had was in London a few days prior. I ordered the bangers & mash and was not disappointed. Their serving sizes were more than generous and the food was seasoned quite well. This is a place I'd give another go if in town.

Gilbert's is really good but a bit pricey. I workout a few times a week so sometimes I may be a bit…read morehungrier than your normal human. I've been here a few times now which speaks to the quality of food. When you walk in it's a very clean restaurant. Outdoor seating that unfortunately allows smoking and smoke does occasionally blow in through the door. Other than that the ambiance is immaculate. Good music, clean bathrooms and a clean looking kitchen what more could you ask? The service is one of the few shortcomings of this restaurant. We've been there a few times and a couple of times it seemed like the service was a bit slow. We have had to remind the waitstaff what we ordered. They're always polite and apologetic about anything missed, but they are a bit slow fairly often. The food is unimpeachable. The taste of almost everything on the menu is amazing. The portion size of the menu can be a bit mismatched. I'm not that hungry of a person but a single sushi roll will not suffice for your average appetite. Be prepared to order multiple courses or a few sides but it can add up fairly quickly. I usually get the hot roll and something else but it usually comes out to about 45 euro or 50 usd. It's a good restaurant but be prepared to pay a bit more and wait a bit longer. Delicious though!

Ambiance was classy and we also did not feel inappropriately dressed in our jeans and sweatshirts (having just traveled from the Highlands in Scotland to Edinburgh to Dublin to Kinsale in a single day!) Service was chatty and friendly and kind. It was a bit noisy but not so much so that my partner and I could not hear each other. The food I had was fantastic: - Caesar salad - 5**/5 this is hands down the best Caesar salad I've ever had. I know that sounds weird to rate a basic Caesar but the lettuce was crisp and fresh and the dressing with just the right anchovy balance and ratio to the leaves and I loved the croutons (I usually skip them). Big enough for two to share. - special monkfish filets with beetroot - 5/5 outstanding dish with delicate flavors and two generous filets, especially good if you like beets! Came with crispy potatoes in a side dish which I appreciated because the beets didn't get them wet and they stayed crispy - west cork scallops 4/5, 8 generous scallops in the dish on an English pea risotto only downgraded because the risotto was not fully cooked - the rice was a bit crunchy in spots - strawberries and cream dessert - 4/5, only because for 9.95 that's a lot for a small bowl of berries and I do compare my strawberries to California farm fresh ones so that's a tough comparison Loved Kinsale and loved Fishy Fishy and hope to be back to both!

After a full day of touring Ireland's coastline, we ended our evening in Kinsale and chose Fishy…read moreFishy for dinner. We started with the multigrain bread and house-made butter, which was a simple but tasty way to begin the meal. The lobster bisque followed and was rich, creamy, and hearty. While the lobster flavor became a bit overpowering toward the end, it was still well worth ordering. For our mains, I had Jody Hurley's Wok Fried Crab Claws with white rice, and my wife ordered the Baked Local Lobster with spring onion mash and salad. The crab claws were tossed in a creamy lemon sweet chili sauce that was packed with flavor, and the rice balanced the richness perfectly. The generous portion was an added bonus. The standout, however, was the baked lobster--fresh, perfectly cooked, and topped with a delicious mustard cream sauce. Paired with the mash and salad, it made for an excellent meal. Fishy Fishy delivered fresh seafood, generous portions, and flavors that made it a memorable stop in Kinsale.
