What User doesn't like about Man Friday:
Was here with a group of 8. The food was delicious and it was a really enjoyable atmosphere. However I was torn between leaving a 4 star or 2 star as one of the waitress on the night had such a bad attitude. She was unhelpful and argued with one of the guests over a wrong order as instead of just apologising. View all feedback. What User likes about Man Friday:
A lovely lovely meal in a fabulous restaurant. We were very impressed with the firm but friendly manner in which Covid restrictions were implemented. The food was wonderful..pork belly, oysters, seafood pie, hake, lemon posset etc etc. Well done to all at The Man Friday for a lovely evening... View all feedback.

Man Friday offers a mixed bag of experiences based on recent reviews. While the food receives praise for its deliciousness and freshness, some diners are disappointed by the lack of included vegetables and the steep additional costs. Complaints about the staff range from excellent service to unpleasant encounters, affecting the overall dining experience. Despite the inconsistency, the atmosphere of the restaurant is generally enjoyed, with beautiful views adding to the appeal. Prices are noted to be on the higher side, especially considering the competitive dining options in Kinsale. Overall, the restaurant's quality appears to have varied over the years, making it a hit or miss dining destination.
