The pie of the day, not on the menu, was steak and kidney, which I had to try "for research purposes". The pastry crust extended to the sides and bottom so it fully enclosed the filling and was served "freestanding". Crust and gravy were excellent. In the filling, both the steak and the kidneys were plentiful. My research completed, I probably wouldn't order it again; just give me the steak - no more kidneys please! Nevertheless I did enjoy and finished it. This was served with decent fries and a truly excellent green salad: a variety of leafy greens, radishes, cucumbers, pickled onions, and pre-dressed with a vinaigrette. The wife had the Beef & Guinness Casserole, served with brown bread. Along with steak there were also plentiful veggies (root vegetables and celery) and mashed potatoes in the center. She liked it. I tried it and agreed. I would get that next time. I had a Jameson Old Fashioned to drink and it was the best Old Fashioned I've had in some time. The unusually large twisted orange peel probably contributed and it may have had more than the customary amount of bitters. The wife's tea was amusingly served with a knitted "cozy" keeping the teapot hot. For dessert we shared a Sticky Toffee Pudding, served with vanilla ice cream, attractively presented with a dusting of sugar, whipped cream, and a ground cherry complete with its leaves. I'd rate it second among the three I've tried so far. Would certainly order it again. As for the pub I can't say. It has a reputation for good traditional Irish music every night but unfortunately not until 9:30, way too late for us. Sadly we're just not pub people.

Solid Choice - Nice Service - Interesting Menu - Fun Atmosphere…read more The 4 of us dined here at the end of our first day in Killarney. We were seated at a nice table within the spacious dining room in back. The area was a little sparse when we came in, but by the time that we called for the check, the place was full and with lots of happy noise. I don't remember what Fern and Gayle ordered, but Don and I went straight for Potato Cakes with Chicken & Smoked Bacon. The menu states that this is a Laurels Classic and firm favorite. It's a comforting , this comforting combination of Creamed Potato, Chunks of Chicken & Smoked Bacon is served in a Crisp Breadcrumbed sphere of deliciousness with a Creamy Mushroom Sauce and Side Salad. After finishing that, we both agreed that our choice was even better than represented. I almost went with the Pizza or Monkfish Thai Red Curry , and I'm glad I went in this direction. The Laurels Menu itself has good variety and a clear step or 2 above "pub grub". The beer list was also nicely varied, and there was no way we were going to pass on the dessert selections.
