    Great restaurant lovely surroundings, staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had both specials on the night- lamb and fish both fantastic. Apple crumble for dessert not good. Definitely would eat here again.

    Haven't been to Kirbys in years, don't know why I stayed away so long. 6 in our party, 2 vegetarians and 1 gluten free. (Me) The menu was so clear with allergens marked and what could be altered to have as a gluten free option. Eating out usually means talking for ages with a staff member, who needs to check with the chef, thankful that Kirbys have done what all restaurants should. The vegetarian options were great too. Food was amazing. Staff were so friendly and quick, even though it was busy. They even took photos. I'll definitely be back

    We experienced an incredibly long wait for our food, despite there being only two of us and ordering something simple—a soup, a burger, and the chicken breast. It took over an hour for the food to arrive, and during that time, no one checked in or offered any explanation or apology until we flagged our waiter down. There were only about 10 people in the restaurant total, so it’s not like they were overwhelmed. Since we were only in Galway for two nights, this ended up taking up a big portion of our first evening, which was really disappointing. Food was decent, but not worth the wait.

    Maybe I caught them on an off night. But this was a disappointing experience. Food was mediocre and service was lacking.
