Rich, creamy with nice chunks of fish. I opted for a veggie main - Mediterranean quinoa - which hit the spot. It was fresh, light and flavoursome. I quite enjoyed the breaded slice of tofu. I would have liked more than one slice! My companions had the steak which they raved about and also the smoked hake which was good too. We had a 500mL carafe of red wine. I loved that they offer this as an option rather than ordering a full bottle! Our waitress was friendly and did a great job. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Galway. It's not the most innovative menu but the food is consistent and you won't be disappointed!

I recently had dinner at Vina Mara and had a fine enough evening, but was not wowed by the place. I…read morethink that things were colored by the fact that there was a large hen party taking over half the restaurant, which made it quite loud and busied up the staff a bit too much. Our food came out quickly enough, and I have to say that my 'Connemara Lamb Journey' was nothing to write home about. The portion was reasonable, but the lamb was not cooked to my liking (overdone, generally) and the cauliflower puree was lumpy and disappointingly flavorless. However, my dining companion's roasted baby monk fish with chorizo and cannellini bean cassoulet was fabulous. So, perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing? I don't like to base reviews off of one meal, but I don't think I'd be bothered to try Vina Mara again given the expense of the first experience (nearly €70, including a half bottle of wine, two mains and nothing else).

My husband and I spent two weeks touring a large amount of Michelin reviewed restaurants and this…read morewas the one that fell completely flat. My husband got the shrimp cocktail salad...it came absolutely saturated in sauce. The lettuce was cheap iceberg along with tiny fishy shrimp. There was nothing impressive. When I asked the waitress if she recommended the pecan chicken or the pulled pork, her only response was "well you can have chicken any day". No recommendation regarding flavor/texture. Lastly, our water was frequently empty, silverware fell off while plates were being set down by staff, wait staff seemed uninterested and rude. Overall just an odd experience and we were hoping for so much more.

Then I had duck and my companion had lamb. It was terrific. The menu also came with desert and some small tastes. There are two complete menus presented at two price points, Euro 55 and 45.

Amuse bouche: foie gras mousse royale & cherry espuma mousse served in a brilliant turquoise blue half moon bowl. Sweet Corn soup poured from a tiny glass teapot into a bowl swirled with sweet corn and basil purée. Smoked salmon under a glass dome filled with a smidgen of heavenly smelling smoke that erupts up into the air when glass is lifted.

The duck leg was highly recommended by our server who said that the meat just melts off the bone. It was anything but. The meat was so tough I could barely cut and chew it... and left almost all of it on my plate. It was served with very tiny slivers of sweet potato chips with odd tasting berries. When I complained to the server (who had been absent a while), she apologized and said I wished I had told her sooner... but I couldn't find her. The stone bass was thick and bland tasting. The one saving grace was the brownie dessert.

The restaurant is one level below the trendy and beautiful bar and lounge, and has a stunning upscale ambience, not industrial, but warm and welcoming. As with many restaurants in Ireland, they offer a two or three-course prix fixe menu; here it was 29 or 39 euro, a quarter to a third higher than the usual run-of-the-mill place. But it was definitely worth it, even if it hadn't been included with our room. Ours was the two-course; we could choose either a starter or dessert, so we had starters. Mine was the spinach/rocket/strawberry/walnuts/fried goat cheese salad. I don't like rocket (we call it arugula), and it was no problem to have that changed to lettuce. It came with a raspberry walnut dressing, and was delicious. My husband chose Risotto over an Arrabbiata/tomato jam sauce. They turned up as three plump Italian rice balls, and the dish was equally delectable. My husband had the Linguine Pasta for his main. It was outstanding, and I wish I'd ordered it, too. But I picked the prawns. I had high hopes, since everything else had been so good. Alas, they were awful, with a strange, unidentifiable taste, not quite iodine-y although, since I've never dined on iodine, maybe that's what it was. The manager, Miriama, was apologetic and so willing to swap it for something else, but I was already full and was satisfied with a very good cup of coffee. If this hadn't been marred by the terrible prawns, it would have been a 5-star rave. But overall, the dining experience was so lovely, and the service and ambience so good, that I have to give it 4.
