Top notch dining at Kitty's. This is your spot for an upscale seafood restaurant in Killarney,…read morewhether you are craving mains from the sea or land or both. I visited with family, and although we showed up a half hour ahead of our reservation they were able to accommodate and seat us right away. My family had been in search of a quality serving of oysters during our Ireland trip and took the opportunity here without a doubt. There are several options to order them and you can order as little as three at a time, which is nice since some places only do half dozen increments. The waitstaff was attentive and we even had the manager helping as well, although they did not always keep up with our quick wine drinking as well had to remind them to pour more wine a few times. A patron even pulled the fire alarm on accident but the manager quickly turned it off before it became a distraction. I would recommend Kitty's to any tourist looking for a higher quality meal on their trip like we were.

They have a Michelin rosette for 2017 and the menu is mostly seafood and the foot is top class and offers great value for money compared with what's available in Kenmare town.

While in Killarney, which turned out to be one of our favorite stops while in Ireland, we wanted to…read morehit a true local restaurant and Cronins was just the spot! Cronins sits on a Main Street through Killarney and feels like old world Ireland from the road to the table. It has a storied past in Killarney, being open over 60 years at this point. The space is as you would expect, cozy, local and welcoming. The menu is rooted in local ingredients including seafood, beef and veggies. We popped in for an early dinner and had an appetizer of the Smoked Irish Salmon, which was fresher than expected. Such a simple dish, but it was executed perfectly. For our mains, we had a burger and the Shepard's Pie. Burger was good. It was juicy, well cooked and the onion relish thing they had going on was *chefs kiss*. The Shepard's Pie was spot on. Both were made with local beef, which was cool and extra tasty! Beyond the food, Cronins also has their own cider, which was phenomenal and oddly enough, the only cider I had the whole time I was in Ireland! That speaks more to the hold Guinness had on me and less to the variety of cider. After the cider, we went with a few house cocktails including the Clover Club and Dingle Donkey. Both were well prepared, vibrant and tasty! Service was uniquely local, friendly and fun! From the bartender to our server, they were both excellent! Overall, Cronins is a stellar spot in a great spot in Killarney! When we get back over the pond and to Killarney, Cronins is on the list to swing by again!

Upon entering,…read morewe were asked if we had a reservation, which we had not but were fine being turned away if they were just too busy to seat us. They did seat us at one of their high top tables, which we were very grateful for. Our drinks came out quickly despite a very crowded bar area with many locals chatting away. When the oysters came out, we noticed that they were not cold to the touch. In fact, they were pretty warm, which kind of alarmed us. After trying a few, we decided to just stop eating them because we didn't want to get sick. We happily paid for everything without a complaint, but I will caution those who come by for fresh, raw oysters. Service was great despite a busy afternoon and the not so great oysters, so I can't fault them too much for one appetizer. I'm sure their other dishes are great.
