Brought our family of four to Margaux and had a fantastic night. Reg and Emily have created something special here.

The bavette was outstanding, and the pork belly was every bit as good. Don’t skip the Caesar salad, it’s better than it has any right to be. We ordered all three desserts between us and every one of them landed. Incredible finish to the meal.

Kinsale is lucky to have another restaurant at this level. We’re genuinely happy for Reg and Emily and we’ll be back soon.
