'Twas a meal to remember starting with friendly sincere professional staff in an elegant atmosphere without the pretentiousness normally associated with fine dining. My duck breast was excellent and was deemed the best choice out of the 6 at the table. The quantities were perfect and extra vegetables were brought along with no fuss at all (my Irish husband loves his spuds). We'll certainly be back and will be sending our friends and guests there. Note that they are in their new premises on Main Street - beautiful decor! 064 42383

What an incredible meal. That wait staff is super nice and very knowledgeable about their products. Well worth the stop. A meal I won't soon forget.

There are a number of establishments which seem to equate ambience with how much they can reduce the lighting before patrons & staff start bumping into each-other & the furniture. Mulcahy's appear to follow the trend which is a bit of a shame as it's clear that a lot of thought has gone into the layout & decor (if you strain your eyes). It was not particularly busy on the evening when we dined her (a Monday), although a large party of tourists turned up later on & made the place pretty lively shall we say. The wait staff were mainly young women (?students) who were pleasant while not yet well versed in the art of hospitality. The food which is locally sourced is undoubtedly well selected & carefully cooked & beautifully presented: my husband started with a mushroom soup (which can be risky), which h reported as well balanced & mushroomy withouth being overpowering! Followed on at the recommendation of diners at the next table he opted for the Halibut which, was apparently "gorgeous". I am fairly limited in choices in restaurants in Irish coastal areas which are unsurprisingly predominately focussed on fish, so once again a steak (Kerry) this time which was pleasant enough. I passed on pudding, while himself had a selection of Irish cheeses with hand made savoury biscuits reported as very good. Bit of a hiccup with the wine, due to an unfinished polished glass that left an interesting film on the top of a pretty expensive wine :0( the manageress handled this very well (no argument) & apologised. The cost of a glass of wine was deducted from the bill. We were a little surprised at this, while recognising that policy & discretion vary from place to place - elsewhere we had a complimentary bottle by way of an apology but hey ho...

New venue, but the food is absolutely every bit as fantastic. Great friendly staff, good varied menu, great atmosphere.
Well worth paying the extra euro for such exceptional fine dining.
We'll be back.
