    Burrata salad
    Grant B.

    Fantastic food and service! Great ambiance with little nooks to sit in. Casual cozy environment! Burrata salad and honey Brie bread were amazing! Steak was good. Our server was lovely. Check it out while you're in Killarney

    I personally didn't love the food but the ambience and service were great! Food: porterhouse is essentially an higher tier pub and their menu reflects that! I got the fish and chips but thought the fish was way too greasy! We also got the lamb and that was quite well made Service: really friendly service Ambience: loved the vibe and special carve outs to make it seem like you have the restaurant to yourself

    Iceburg Wedge Salad
    Miranda L.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and service at Porterhouse! We stopped in off a recommendation from our hotel's front desk and we were happy we did! The menu had a good variety of offerings and prices. Our group started with a round of drinks: wines, a local beer, and a craft cocktail. The Stags Night was a take on an old fashioned with sweet and nutty notes. For our mains: the caesar salad, chicken tenders, beef and brisket burger, wedge salad, and a side of fries to share. All items had great flavor! Just go in knowing the chicken tender meat does not taste like in the states. We ended with a warm chocolate brownie to share and it came with vanilla ice cream. Our server, Trish, was wonderful! Very attentive, didn't draw the meal out too long, and was kind. Definitely stop by Porterhouse for a bite to eat!

    Ribeye Steak with a side of spicy prawn.

    What a great place to grab a steak and a pint. This restaurant was recommended by a local and now o know why. The ribeye steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the shrimp melted in my mouth. The seasoning was perfection and I highly recommend the peppercorn sauce. The serve was attentive but not rushed. Prices are slightly on the higher end of the middle. The ambiance was cozy as you would expect here in Killarney

    It's very cozy, especially in the two seater booths. All of the staff are very nice. The food is really delish, except for the mozzarella sticks. I don't think they were prepared correctly as all four of them were just breaded shells nearly sans cheese. However the Brie bacon jam burger was killer. It was very good, and for an 8oz patty, it was still edible without needing a fork. The Parmesan rosemary whatever aioli fries are kickass. I am not a vegan but the mushroom bruschetta is effing fantastic. Absolutely stellar. It's not a vegan dish that replaces some other dish, it just happens to be vegan.

    Buttermilk Fried Chicken and cheese with bacon Sandwich.

    We arrived and were promptly seated. Service was exceptional. Both if us had the buttermilk chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon. It was excellent. We topped the dinner off with a chocolate brownie and ice cream. I recommend reservations. This is a dinner restaurant that opens at 5 pm and can get crowded.

    Good food! Good service! We had a great time in a nice bar environment. Very clean and friendly with nice booths to sit at. I ordered a 7oz sirloin with garlic butter, would recommend!!

    Dinner:  brisket burger and gnocchi pesto.  Cocktails: Jameson & Ginger; spicy Margarita.
    Karen D.

    Loved Porterhouse! Visited (from the US) 05/18/23. We had dinner at a table for two outside on the street... Lovely! I had a spicy margarita and my husband, a whiskey sour (traditional with egg white froth) for first cocktail; Jameson & Ginger for second He had the "veg" (vegetable) soup to start and brisket burger with "chips" (fries). I had the dirty Caesar salad to start (came with three surprise deep-fried chicken tenders) and gnocchi pesto. All delicious...pesto not traditional green but tomato-based. Rich and tasty! Great meal; great, friendly service. Highly recommend!

    What a great find for a vegan dinner and delish food! Who would think a vegan could find such excellent fare at a steak house? Try it out!

    Real disappointed with our experience with Porterhouse. Starts with the ability to make reservations. Cannot call and speak to anyone. Reserve must be made online. Then they require a credit card in order to charge you 10 euros per head if you cancel within 2 hours. I am actually ok with all of that. Issues comes in that their online menu was way off. They said Lamb shank was out of season. They were out of fish of the day and beef and brisket burger. Those were the three items our table of six came for. We left after getting our drinks and had amazing lamb shank and fish and chips at neighboring restaurant. Gave Porterhouse the 2nd star because staff was nice and drinks were good.

    The snug was crowded for a group of 5. The lamb stew was quite tasty but was more of a soup than a stew.

    This review is for the restaurant not the pub. We came for lunch and found all the usual Irish pub…read moreofferings. 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.

    A Fantastic Dining Experience at Bricin!…read more A huge shoutout to Johnny McGuire for making our evening unforgettable! My husband and I were on the lookout for a dinner spot and didn't realize we needed a reservation. Luckily, we stumbled upon Bricin around 6:30 pm, right at the peak of dinner time. We were warmly greeted by the staff and asked to wait just a bit to see if they could fit us in. After a brief 15 minutes, Johnny worked his magic and found us a lovely table for two. Our server, Elizabeth, was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel right at home as we settled in for what turned out to be an incredible meal. I chose the Pork Apricot, while my husband enjoyed the Oven Roasted Duck Breast, both accompanied by generous servings of fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Every bite was perfection! With our bellies full and happy, we left to continue our vacation adventure, but not without emphasizing how much we appreciated Johnny and the amazing team at Bricin. We truly felt the warmth of an Irish welcome. If you're in town, make sure to stop by--you won't regret it! #Bricin #DiningExperience #IrishHospitality #GratefulCustomer

The name "Bricín" is Irish for "little trout" and is also the name of a stone bridge in Killarney National Park. The restaurant was established by the McGuire brothers, who restored the building with antique timber and stained glass. The restaurant is upstairs from a gift shop that I believe the owners also operate. We had made reservations and once upstairs, we were personally greeted and welcomed by maybe one of the brothers. Mary was our wait person for the evening, who we found to be warm, friendly, and attentive. We were also seated at a nice corner table (#14) that allowed the right amount of dining privacy with a very attractive room. Bricín offers a fixed price meal (appetizer, main, and dessert) for 46 Euro and an "Early Bird" special for 34 Euros. We opted to order off the Menu as follows: - Hake and Salmon Gratin (Fern) - Boxty (House Specialty) - Traditional Irish potato pancake, cooked on the griddle with mixed salad and a choice of meat (Don) - Rack of Kerry Lamb (Gayle Loves Lamb!) - Thai Red Chicken Curry with Thai jasmine rice (Eric) - Adult Beverages (Wines) - Spanish Rueda (White), Pinot Grigio, Siegel Reserva (Chilean Merlot), and another Merlot. - Split 2 Desserts (One Special) plus teas and coffee. It was all a wonderful dining experience, when food, atmosphere, service, and good company all become greater than the sum of its parts. And we expressed that sentiment to one of the brothers who checked in on us at one point and Mary.

We chose the prawn cocktail to start, roast supreme of chicken, and the 16 ounce t-bone. The prawn cocktail came in a large crystal serving dish with about 10 prawns covered in a Rose Marie sauce on a bed of lettuce. Prawns were well cooked, nice and tender, and sweet. Two slices of brown bread and butter. The chicken was lightly fried and came with a stuffing of thyme and spring onion, gravy and French fries. Chicken was well cooked, flavorful and juicy. The fries were nice and crispy. The t-bone was 16ounces and came with mushrooms, onions, onion rings and fries. The steak was cooked as requested, medium rare. The mushrooms were small button mushrooms with sautéed onions. Part of the steak was nice and tender but there were parts that were tough and grisly and fatty. It was okay but not something I would order again. The onion rings, 3, were heavily breaded, stuck together and were not appetizing to look at and definitely not to eat. The fries were nice and crispy and served very not. This was an okay meal but based on it I'm not sure we'd make a return trip. Seating was probably the most comfortable that we have found recently but the place is very noisy and makes it hard to hold a conversation. Service was mediocre in that once we got our main meal we didn't see a server to come back and check to see home things were. They were extremely busy so this might account for that but I'm not sure. .

We starting with a fish cake, that was quite good and included a tangy sweet sauce and a small salad with it. We got the fish cake as the first course of a two-course special. The main entreé was a Hake fish. It was an incredibly light and flaky white fish, that was served with a side salad and side of mash. There were two filets, however it appears one of the filets was not de-boned, which required some extra work on my part. Though, the flavor was fantastic. The sticky toffee pudding was mostly okay, but there was a burnt bitterness to it that was a touch off-putting. Ultimately, it was still satisfactory. Unfortunately, the service here was quite slow. It was difficult to get a waiter's attention for a dessert menu, and I was unable to flag down a waiter to put in my dessert order. After a few failed attempts I went up to the bar to do so. ...And to get the card machine to pay. Also, it really speaks to if you're in a touristy section of town when there's a notice about gratutites not being included. And it was only the 2nd time in my two weeks here that I was asked if I'd like to add a tip. I realize the tone of this review is rather negative because of the bad service on the night, but the food itself was rather good, despite being pricey for the portion provided. The quality of the fish alone is holding onto that fourth star by a thread. Would've been an easy five if the service was up to snuff though.

The server wasn't the most friendly but she was efficient and kept our drinks filled including the big water pitcher we were given. I ordered calamari for the appetizer and it was good. It came out quick! We all had pasta for our entrees - I went with the spaghetti alla pescatora which had several types of seafood in it - and I thought it was so good. Very flavorful and it was a lot of food for the price. The entrees took a bit of time to come out but we were not in a rush so it was okay. They had several TVs throughout the restaurant set to different channels. The one near our table was playing what seemed to be some type of soap opera and it was cracking us up. Not what you would expect of this type of restaurant especially with how busy it was when we were here but it kept us entertained nonetheless! We were lucky that they allowed us to split the check up at the bar! It made our dining experience much easier and many restaurants don't like to split the check so this was much appreciated. There is a note on the menu that if they are super busy, they ask that you don't split the check.
