We had a group of seven and they had us at a table within 10 minutes of our arrival. Appetizers were yummy - Breaded Mushrooms, Duck Spring Rolls, and Fresh Prawn Cocktail. Dinner entrees ranged from Salmon or Chicken Florentine, Helm Style Chicken Curry, and Sirloin Steak. All were super good. The evening topped off with Homemade Chocolate Fudge Cake and Homemade Banoffee Pie with the right amount of wine, Guinness, and Redbreast. Get there early. We sat at 9pm and there were a few menu items that were sold out. No problem! We adapted and loved every minute of it.

There are real cooks here who know how to cook. The surprising thing for us was we didn't even know the harbour existed let alone the Towers restaurant. We only learned this in the local town hall when we went in on Monday to buy tickets for their swing night on the Friday. The staffer originally from Belfast was a great tourism ambassador. On our first night at this place I opted for linguine. I kept it light and vegetarian. My wife opted for cod & chips with mushy peas & tartare sauce. Boyso, the biggest piece of fried fish we've ever been served. It was delicious and I got a piece. The mushy peas were excellent too. There were two problems that need some re work though; the fish batter was a good beer batter. It was crispy thin delicious on serving, but sadly it didn't stay crisp for the time it took to eat the cod. The skin on chips should also have been cooked a bit longer. On another night, my wife opted for their chicken tikka masala, which she liked (good 3 star). I had seafood chowder with a dense delightful brown bread, served with butter and 6 Clew Bay oysters served with a raspberry vinaigrette. I do prefer plain fresh lemon, white pepper and red Tabasco. I'd put the chowder 5 star and the oysters 3 to 4 star. The oysters are priced top end - I wouldn't buy them again. On yet another night my wife had their sirloin steak (€28.5) with all the fixings and the steak and pepper sauce were really top notch. The skin on chips were done perfectly that night. I didn't manage to eat it all while to batter was crispy. We had excellent coffees two nights and truly delicious espresso martinis on our last night. The view outside was wild beauty; stunning. We would go back in a heart beat. They should address the poor to non existent WiFi. Seems if the weather is poor so is the WiFi. It's the west of Ireland folks so the risk of poor weather is September thru March annually. Yes I know when folks are dining they shouldn't be going on line but it's as essential as serving great food.

I started with Killary mussels (which were the best I've ever eaten) and my wife had the micro green salad (which was excellent). For entrees, I had the Beef Cheeks which were incredible (think short ribs) and my wife had the Sea Trout. Both were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Both were served with side vegetables that were the perfect accompaniments. We finished with the chocolate mousse and baklava desserts. I thought the chocolate mousse was the best I've ever had. We also enjoyed a bottle of The Chocolate Block red blend wine from South Africa that a pub owner down the street had told us to try. All in all it was a magical meal. Service was outstanding. Don't skip this place if you get the chance.

The sea bass had a special Mediterranean style sauce. It also came with a side salad. She really enjoyed it. I had salmon from the menu and it was equally good. It too came with vegetables and a sauce that could be poured over the salmon. They heated the plates so the food stayed hot the entire meal. Service was very attentive. If there was a downside, it is that the restaurant was crowded and noisy. Parking was right off the road snd the spaces were small. We may return here tonight for another meal.

We happened to be here the first time on a Sunday, which is the evening when they have an open mic night of sorts - what a delight! There was a continuous stream of local fanfare and traditional Irish music playing for hours on end. We didn't want to leave after our meal so we stayed on in the lounge area up front next to the musicians to enjoy the scene up close and personal. The food was phenomenal - a bit on the pricey end but of the highest quality imaginable. We loved every bite from the soups to the salad, to the seafood. I'm so glad we were able to enjoy this restaurant a couple of times while we were staying in the area. It really is the best food around here! And the folks who work here and run the place were really friendly - Ireland is already one of the most hospitable places I've ever been to but this place really does well by its patrons, too!
