The place was really cold, the service was not great, we were all given different menus and told different things by different staff members, food was quite disappointing, the portions were small and the food was a bit cold, overall a disappointing experience and not worth the expense, I wouldn't recommend it and I won't go there again

This was not a great experience. Booked table for 1pm, seated at 12.58pm but didn't receive our food til 13.55pm. Had to ask for our order to be taken. Plenty of staff. At least 4 tables empty so not very busy. Implies not enough chefs. No apology received. Not the only ones waiting to be served. It was my wife's birthday, so this experience spoiled her special occasion. My daughter didn't receive the food she ordered. Didn't bring it to anyone's attention in case it would take a long time to be corrected. When we first arrived, the male waiter behind counter was making drinks....took 2 glasses down using his hands inside the glasses......so off putting. Hygiene clearly not a priority. The 4 tables that were free, were not tidied up or cleaned. The free waiter/ waitress could have done this which would have greatly assisted the front of house staff member, in being available to greet customers. Food in general was good and value for money.

Arrived yesterday for a reservation. Understandably busy on a Saturday afternoon, however we were about 30 mins waiting to order. When the food eventually arrived. It was fine, it was an hour by the time we had plates in front of us. The side order was missing. We were waiting a while, then told it would be 2 minutes but it never arrived. I did notice the manager (I think) that came on duty around 12.30 was very good and did try to rectify things around us. One of the waiters was very abrupt to the customers and asked for orders of a couple next to us in a manner I wouldn’t expect of that establishment (he didn’t serve us) and it made the environment very frosty. I always enjoyed dining there and would maybe consider it again in the future but we left disappointed

Lovely restaurant interior. Menu selection is very limited and basic. Desserts could be a little more interesting other than the glossed over bought in simple desserts. Food was nice but don't expect the wow factor that will encourage you back for more. A little imagination needed for the menu.

We got a very friendly welcome on arrival and were accommodated with our choice of table. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. It was an exceptionally warm evening hence four stars for ambience as it was too warm for me. I felt the room needed air conditioning.

We made a booking for 11:00 and we didn’t get our food until 12:00, we were waiting for ages. One staff member acknowledged the delay but once the food arrived after 12, we were then asked to leave at 1 so they could cater other customers even though we’d just about finished up our tea and coffee. Everyone’s food was served at different times with one person waiting 15 minutes after other people had been served. One coffee was forgotten and they just appeared to be all over the place. I felt bad for staff because they knew there was problems in the kitchen but I don’t think we got the adequate response, considering the delay we probably should’ve got teas and coffees free or something. It was tip of the ice berg being asked to leave when it took them over an hour to give us our food.

Simone was an absolute gentleman and more than friendly to us upon arrival. He then proceeded to get to know his guests by sharing anecdotes and asking us very casual questions about us. The food was fantastic, myself and 1 other getting the steak and another one of my party getting the burger. Plates were emptied and we were left completely satisfied. The young girl serving our table was lovely and polite and I commend her customer service. I would 100% return and would 1000% recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in Galway.

Staff and setting are very nice. Service of 2 lunches and an order of pancakes with soft drinks was very slow. Around 40 mins, i think. The pancakes order was incorrect and we didn't get our water for the table. We weren't checked on and to be fair didn't follow up on the water. At almost 70e it was fairly steep for lunch

Service was appalling, waited over an hour for food and then only 2 kids menu items came, another 15 minute wait for adults meals to appear. Kids toasted sandwich was awful, cheap processed cheese. Overall very disappointing and ruined our Father’s Day lunch. Won’t be back to that Gourmet Food Parlour!

Very slow service, food was nice but not really worth the wait. Servers seemed all over the place when it wasn't crazy busy. Tables ordered after us got their drinks before us and we hadn't even ordered coffees just water and soft drinks so no reason for such a delay.

We absolutely loved our evening here. The staff was so welcoming, kind, friendly, and just made the entire experience. The decor is amazing. Feels elegant and homey all at the same time. The food was incredible. The braised lamb melted off the bone. The peppercorn sauce was incredible. The details from the moment we walked in were perfect and made our evening. I highly recommend stopping by while in Galway. We will be back.
