He knows al lot about the region and is very open and friendly to tell you everything about it. He gave us good advice about daytrips (Loop Head!!! which actually is so much nicer than the touristic Cliffs of Moher) and walks. We stayed three nights and within our 10-days-trip it was the nicest place to stay. Our room had a really nice view over the bay of Kilkee, even though the weather was rather rough during our stay. The restaurant is also run by Johnny, and the food is really good. It was the best we had in Kilkee. I can really recommend that place and will go back there whenever I am around.

Lovely glass terrace with views of castle. Interesting menu…read more Decent chips. Chips 10/10 (recommend twice cooked). The fish was a bit soggy in the middle and could have done with a few more minutes/ hotter oil. Prawns were okay -- the three sauces sounded amazing but underwhelming. Had hoped for flavour kick -- prawns were both over cooked (about to become rubbery & undercooked -- shell not crispy. I think the grill may not have been hot enough ? But tasty and enjoyed the fresh seafood quality Other tables ordered the wings & mussels-- looked yummy. Portions ample! Arrived to weird 5-10 min wait (despite reservation) between bar and terrace areas. Hostess eventually arrived. Waitress rushed the order (no drinks menu provided), seemed surprised to be asked for a recommendation. At end was awhile before could flag someone down to pay.

So, we decided to pop into Quinlan's Fish for a quick bite. - Fish and (Real) Chips: the fish was perfectly fried, so tender and juicy, and it wasn't overly fried or greasy like many others in the US. - Seafood Chowder: I thoroughly enjoyed the chowder. It was packed full of cubes of different types of fish, so you definitely get a lot for what you pay. Service was great, and it was the perfect spot for a quick lunch stop.

I visited with family, and although we showed up a half hour ahead of our reservation they were able to accommodate and seat us right away. My family had been in search of a quality serving of oysters during our Ireland trip and took the opportunity here without a doubt. There are several options to order them and you can order as little as three at a time, which is nice since some places only do half dozen increments. The waitstaff was attentive and we even had the manager helping as well, although they did not always keep up with our quick wine drinking as well had to remind them to pour more wine a few times. A patron even pulled the fire alarm on accident but the manager quickly turned it off before it became a distraction. I would recommend Kitty's to any tourist looking for a higher quality meal on their trip like we were.

Upon entering,…read morewe were asked if we had a reservation, which we had not but were fine being turned away if they were just too busy to seat us. They did seat us at one of their high top tables, which we were very grateful for. Our drinks came out quickly despite a very crowded bar area with many locals chatting away. When the oysters came out, we noticed that they were not cold to the touch. In fact, they were pretty warm, which kind of alarmed us. After trying a few, we decided to just stop eating them because we didn't want to get sick. We happily paid for everything without a complaint, but I will caution those who come by for fresh, raw oysters. Service was great despite a busy afternoon and the not so great oysters, so I can't fault them too much for one appetizer. I'm sure their other dishes are great.

This was my FAVORITE meal in Galway!…read more It was my first time in Ireland - was visiting for business trip and we stayed in Galway for a few days and got to try several restaurants in the area. This was my favorite restaurant because of the AMAZING seafood. The raw oysters were super fresh and it was fun getting to see the manager show us how to shuck oysters (he used to compete in oyster shucking contest and was ranked pretty high!). The steamed mussels and crab claws were also delicious. Ending the meal with cheesecake was great! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like you are visiting a friend's home for a nice meal. Highly recommend checking out this restaurant if you are in the area and are looking for amazing seafood!

People after us were directed to the bar for open seating. The seafood chowder was rich and filling. Mixed oyster plate came with three Gigas and three natives (5 years to grow) but we couldn't agree on which was the best. Moran's featured half a dozen different cold platters and we ordered the smoked salmon which consisted of plate sized slices topped with a salad and a scoop of crab. The Marie rose dressing was delicious and made this salad one of our favorites of this trip. Lastly their Irish soda bread was the best we've eaten and wished we could've gotten a loaf to take with us. The good service, great food and eclectic ambiance made for a nice Easter Sunday meal.
