There is a choice of eating in the bar, from the bar food menu, or in the restaurant from that menu. We opted for the latter. The complimentary bread for the table was delicious, kudos for that. I had fish and chips, my partner had the trio of fish. The food was fine, adequate but I do think its over a tad priced for the standard. I kinda wished we had opted the bar food menu instead, might have been better value. I ordered a glass of wine too, which was generous, but just about drinkable. It was a Sauvignon Blanc if memory serves me. Staff were nice, but forgot my request for ketchup. And there was coffee grounds on the rim of my espresso cup. Mediocre service, ok food with a big price tag. Sol y Sombra, while equally as pricey, is much better for food and service.

Technically not wrong, but misleading on purpose. My friend ordered a medium steak for thirty euros and they gave it to her well-done. The fries were the best part of the meal.

The food took a long time getting there and we had to wait 10 minutes before we even got into the building, so it's not very accommodating for a group of people. The chairs were comfortable and the employees seemed nice, but most of them very much didn't know what they were doing.

This meant loosened belts and full bellies most of our time in the city and we couldn't have been happier! On our second night in town, we were after an early dinner as we had plans at another local pub later in the evening. After a stroll around town, Mad Monk was the spot! Apparently Quinlan's is a small chain with several spots around Ireland, and after popping in, we can tell why. The thing that stood out the most for us at Mad Monk was the freshness of all the goods, specifically the seafood. I enjoy a good grilled or pan seared fish filet, but being in Ireland, it was my mission to try as many fish and chips as I could, and Mad Monk was next on the list! Before we dove into our mains, we did order one of the only non-seafood dishes on the menu, the braised beef croquettes. They were absolutely tasty, and set up our mains very well! We both went with the traditional fish and chips. The fish was perfectly fried and flaky and the tartar sauce was *chefs kiss*! I will say, as with most chips around the island, the chips were a bit underwhelming. They were slightly crispy and fluffy inside, but I am not a huge fan of steak fries and they definitely could have used a bit more seasoning. Service was solid, efficient and friendly. The space is quaint, bright and sleek. Lots of woods and blues, which definitely give the vibes of seafood. Overall, Mad Monk was a solid spot and one we glad we visited during our short stay in Killarney!

Since they don't take reservations, we kept walking but were curious enough to look up the reviews. After seeing how highly rated it was, we decided to come back when we were ready for lunch. I'm so glad we did. We timed it perfectly, avoided the line, and were seated immediately. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the chicken goujons, fish tacos, The Fish Box, and the seafood chowder. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You could tell the seafood was incredibly fresh. What impressed us even more was the value. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes we received. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, making it an easy place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Located just a block from the marina, The Fish Box was one of our favorite lunches in Ireland. If you find a line, don't let it scare you away. It's popular for a reason.

Folks were lined up already at 12:15pm so I joined the queue at 12:20pm after seeing the Harry Clarke stained glass windows at the chapel across the street. We were seated promptly and ordered the shared box (fish box times 2) which came out quickly and we were done by 1:15pm! - shared fish box - 3/5 - I have to say my favorite part of the fish box was the salad and the mushed peas. It came with fried cod, tempura prawns, Cajun calamari and another fried fish item. I've had better fried fish, calamari, and tempura prawns and didn't really care for the chips (not crunchy enough?) I'm glad I tried Fish Box and am especially glad I didn't wait 1.5 hours to try it!

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.
