The Playwright in Kilkenny offers a mixed dining experience. While some patrons enjoyed the friendly staff and reasonable prices, others were disappointed by soggy food, high drink prices, and lackluster service. The breakfast options received high praise, with the mini breakfast being a standout choice. Customer service ranged from exceptional to disappointing, with instances of thoughtful gestures and indifferent responses to feedback. Overall, the restaurant could benefit from improving consistency in food quality and service. Despite the mixed reviews, some diners found The Playwright to be a charming spot for a traditional Irish meal with a welcoming atmosphere.
