    If you're coming to Galway, choose this restaurant without hesitation, I have made this restaurant the last holiday destination I'll spend in the UK without forgetting the deliciousness, originality and Atmosphere of the food here for two years.My strong recommendation is the seafood plate. The brown club is especially delicious so that you can eat a lot of buckets.I am grateful to have come across this restaurant. It's one of the best memories of my life. P.S. Oysters here are by far the best pre-processed dishes compared to nearby restaurants.

    Wonderful experience, one of our best meals in Ireland. We had excellent smoked salmon, a celeriac and apple soup that was amazing, perfect for a cool day, and about the best Irish coffee I've ever had. The people were so friendly and it's a really place to sit. Highly recommend.

    The food was amazing. In particular, the sticky toffee pudding was to die for. The best I have ever had. The sauce was perfection and pudding was soft and tender & the butterscotch ice cream was a lovely compliment. Excellent on price. Lovely waitress who managed the floor entirely by herself seamlessly. Highly recommend it.
