    Kirbie is a local favourite of my partner and I. This was perhaps my best experience yet too. Delicious, elegantly presented food, great wines by the glass to pair and attentive and friendly service. Kirbie does an amazing job as host too.

    The staff were excellent, attentive but not overbearing. We left the food and wine selection in their hands and they nailed it. Nice pace kept everything flowing, didn’t feel rushed. The wines were all really delicate and matched the food perfectly. Looking forward to going back.
