And our orders were phenomenal. Probably our best meal in Ireland. We got a variety of pastas and an Italian meat pizza. #16 for my daughter; sauce was yummy, pasta was fresh and the seafood delish. Pasta primavera for the wife; light sauce with strong flavors dominated by garlic. My son got the pizza and put it in his top five all time pizzas. I had the #19, which comes served in parchment paper which seals the flavor in. And the flavor was amazing. It's a small restaurant with limited seating so be sure to get a reservation. But small doesn't mean cramped, it's a very cozy and charming atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough just f you're in Galway.

I was with 2 other people and we were lucky enough to get seated right away around 7. It looks like it gets packed around dinner time because the wait time was an hour for people who got there after us. It is very clean, organized, and looks very nice inside. The staff was very friendly. Now for the food: we ordered the calamari as an app. I love calamari and this did not disappoint! I recommend eating the fish of the day. It was grilled Hake when I went. It comes with greens and potatoes. I got the chive mash because I was tired of potatoes, and it was very good. The other people at my table ordered the special which was Swordfish. I was a little jealous because it was absolutely delicious!!! It was soft, buttery, so flavorful. It was paired so well with pork and mashed potatoes. The sauce added so much flavor as well.

Too much traffic, glass bottles dropping (crashing) in to a bin. Could've done without that, startling every time someone dropped or threw a bottle in. On to the rest of the experience. We got set very quickly, upon verifying our reservation. Took too long for the server to come around and off us anything. Got our drink order in, drinks cane pretty quickly, bottles of beer and a pour of wines. Food orders got in shortly afterwards, with the wait time not taking too long. Our group ordered the Tempura Prawns, Grilled Hake with mashed potatoes & broccolini, grilled hake with chips & broccolini, seafood linguine. Everything was prepared nicely and tasted quite good. Good volume of food too, nobody left hungry. The service... not that great. Really took away from the overall experience. Not engaging, not explaining dishes, kinda cold! Took multiple tries to get their attention. Not a complete showstopper but could definitely use improvement. Cheers.

Opened in 2011 by chef Jess Murphy and her husband, Dave, Kai has become one of Galway's most celebrated restaurants. While it doesn't have a Michelin star for fine dining, it has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and Ireland's only Michelin Green Star, recognizing both its outstanding food and commitment to local, sustainable ingredients. What impressed me most wasn't just how delicious everything tasted. Every plate looked like it belonged in an art gallery. We started with the Kelly oysters and Kai's signature Cupla Crab. The crab looked more like a modern sculpture than dinner, and the flavors were every bit as impressive as the presentation. The rainbow carrots may have been the best carrots I've ever eaten. And when a restaurant serves bread as good as Kai's Hapi Bakery loaf with incredible butter, it's easy to fill up before the entrées even arrive. For the mains, Brady's Strip Steak was perfectly charred and incredibly tender, while the signature Black Sole was outstanding. The Andarl pork chop was the only dish that didn't quite reach the same level, as we found it just a touch dry. The oregano potatoes made a hearty side for the table. Dessert finished the evening on a high note. Mum's Pavlova was almost too beautiful to eat, and my Smokey Teeling Whiskey Fudge & Espresso was the perfect ending.
