Kinsale Bar / Bistro — Restaurant in Manilva

Absolutely appalling service, waited 45 minutes for 3 steak sandwiches and chicken with sweet chilli. I knew we had been waiting too long and was concerned they might have mislaid our order etc, this was then compounded when I saw another 2 tables (Who had ordered after us) receive their food before us. I enquired where our food was and was told there were lots of other tables before us (This I now know to be a blatant lie). One of the Kitchen staff then came out and argued that we hadn't been waiting that long as the steak is cooked fresh (An absolute fob off answer), when I asked exactly when the food would arrive I was told its already plated up and will be out in 1 minutes! 10 minutes later it finally came out. The steak was half meat and half gristle, chips were less than a handful of scrag ends, the quality of the bread was awful (not fresh and clearly a long life part baked product). €75 for very poor quality food and service. With so many lovely places to choose from to eat in Duquesa, you would think Kinsales would try harder. After expressing my views, all I was told by the waitress was how it wasn't her fault and she was new. The issue lies in the fact the place lacked any form of leadership within that particular shift. I would reccomend to anyone to think twice before...

The Sunday lunch Slight! It very much appeared to us that, as we were speaking in Spanish, we did not warrant the attention of the manager/owner who's attention we could not gain no matter how much we waved and coughed in her direction. But then she was busy a couple of times, clearly gossiping about other diners with one of the waitresses. The same waitress served the tables either side of us, but totally ignored us. The waitress who did serve us was a delight. The food, however, not so much so. The soup, with soggy supermarket croutons and split cream floating on top, was more like coloured dishwater. The beef, whilst perfectly cooked, was left lonesome by the over boiled broccoli and soft/soggy (microwaved) roast potatoes. The carrots on the other hand had a great crunch, and I mean crunch! The Bisto gravy didn't quite cut it either. Really not what you'd expect given the competition in the area. I highly recommend the little drive out to Benahavis and The...

Came in with family of 9 adults just wanted to sit down for some tapas and a few drinks.. were told no food at this time 8.30pm(no problem). Ordered first round of drinks for refreshments, receiced them quick enough.. 5min into having our pints waitress just came up with card machine requesting payments(I guess were not going to be ordering more?🫡) Would be nice to see a smile and be able to enjoy a drink without being interrupted for a payment after being here 5min(going to different bar to enjoy more) Lovely view over...
