Blue Haven in Kinsale offers a mix of reviews. Some diners found the food tasteless and overpriced, with disappointing quality. Others enjoyed the extensive portions and quality service, with standout dishes including the seafood chowder. The cozy atmosphere, live music, and welcoming staff make it a charming spot to enjoy a meal. Notably, one visitor praised staff member Donna for going above and beyond to cater to their needs, showcasing the exceptional service. Despite mixed opinions on the food, Blue Haven seems to offer a warm and inviting dining experience in Kinsale.
