    First of all, the view from the dining room is beautiful. Our table was right against the window with a gorgeous view of the river and King John's Castle. We ordered the fish and chips and the beef box, and these two meals were by far the best that we had while on our trip in Ireland. The fish was fluffy and delicious, and the beef box had really great seasoning and tasty gravy. Service was good, and we were seated right away. I would definitely recommend if you're passing through like we were.

    The upstairs dining area is under clear glass like an encased gardening house and is beautiful. From the outside it looks like your regular pub until you are lead upstairs to eat and it's like being transported into a magical other realm. The service was good place was very busy and had light club music or EMD playing in the background which enhanced the ambiance. The food was very good and the desert even better. Would highly recommend.

    Stopped here for a pint and a bite to eat. The Curragower had perhaps the best seafood chowder I've ever had...

    Very few dairy free options and somewhat misleading allergens list. Service was nice and view great.

    Food is good; atmosphere and location are awesome. There is a kids' menu. For adults, I recommend the stew.

    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.

But the staff gracious sat us at our reserved table and handed us a few hand towels to notionally dry ourselves. We ordered the hake with mussels, scallops and the trio of crème brûlée. It was all absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this bistro if you're in Galway and looking for a nice mealtime experience. The venue was packed. So we're not the only ones to think so.

We ordered the crab dip (very small portion, and it tasted like imitation crab meat), the steak was overcooked with little flavor; the side of veggies tasted like they cooked them in butter and oil (no hint of salt). The drink was horrible and I'm not one to send things back, but I'm not sure how a lemon drop martini ends up tasting like watered down lemonade. The oysters were okay and they make a good home made mignonette, but there was no hot sauce or horseradish provided. Maybe it's an Irish thing, but room temperature oysters are off-putting. The service was terrible, but our waitress was likely working the bar as well. She definitely forgot about us for a solid 20 minutes after she took our plates and verified that we didn't want anything else. I do not recommend this place. Pros: The ambiance was beautiful and it's quiet enough to have a conversation. I gave 1 star for the aesthetic.
