Every single staff member we encountered was marvelous, from the hostess to the bartender to our waitress and additional servers who were very solicitous. The Irish Whiskey recommendation of Green Spot from the bartender hit the spot! The food was absolutely delicious. It was an absolutely perfect ending to our day in western Ireland!

  This was our first time having dinner here in this restaurant on a Sunday evening in September. The restaurant was full off people which was great to see. It is... read more a very romantic restaurant with low key lighting. I wasn't disappointed on the food that we received. The service was excellent, and must compliment the staff on our attention and were very accommodating. The portion sizes were good, and the taste was excellent. We had plenty of time to have our meal and we were not rushed at all. We would highly recommend this restaurant, and will be returning in the near future.

  Absolutely outstanding!! Had the best meal the other day here. Took family out to eat and the steak was absolutely out of the world! Very, very, very delicious! My wife... read more and my 2 children really enjoyed their food.

  Saw this restaurant while on a hop on hop off bus tour and had to make our way back for lunch. It did not disappoint. We started with a seafood... read more board... yum. Then on to the main courses. All of which I wouldn’t hesitate to eat again. But the thing I’ll dream about... the sticky toffee pudding. Best I have ever eaten. Period. If you go you have to try it.

  Very good service and the food was delicious no room for complaints ! The interior is nice and cozy though elegant we liked it.

  Second time to dine here we were on a short break in Galway and managed to get a reservation during race week. The quality of the food was second to... read more none both my wife and I went for fish for both starters and mains and the flavours of all dishes left us salivating. The staff were fantastic and answered any questions we had and the meal was topped off with a delightful shared cookie and cream cheesecake that was to die for. I can’t recommend this establishment highly enough apart from wishing I lived in Galway. Top notch

  A group of us came for lunch and all really enjoyed our food. The fish and chips were GF and tasted amazing. Highly recommended, especially as I don't get to... read more eat fish and chips often. The rest of the group were happy with their dishes...More

  Great bartenders, delicious food, 14 beers on tap and bottles galore. Atmosphere is exceptional. The bar has little cubby holes for small groups of 2 or 3. Would come back in a second.

  Just outside all the hustle and bustle of the city centre we found this gem of a restaurant. It was early and they were able to accommodate us, but booking... read more for Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun is advisable. The service is friendly, the wine list is good and the atmosphere is relaxed.
The food is great - well prepared and plentiful. We ate a couple of different starters between us. The house soup was excellent. Portion size just about right for a starter. The mussels were fresh and cooked perfectly in a traditional white wine sauce.
Mains were their vegetarian special and the roast lamb. Both excelled in their own way. The lamb was well cooked and not fatty. It was prepared three different ways - all of which were spot on! The vegetarian option was great too. Artistically presented and well cooked. Neither of us was disappointed.

  Very pleasant staff. Its casual dining at its best. Part of a pub. The chef knows about food and gives a twist to traditional dishes. We enjoyed all courses.

Service was mediocre...waited quite a while when we walked in for anyone to even acknowledge us. When seated we were given menus but again left too long before anyone came over. After clearing the table I said we would skip dessert but no one came with a bill so had to try and flag someone down ..eventually got the bill and again left waiting so we just went up and paid at the bar. Food, decor and ambiance was nice but service was a bit chaotic.

  Just home from a lovely dinner in the brasserie tonight. Starters, main and desert exceeded expectations. Wine and mocktail lovely also. Have to mention our waitress aoife h. So pleasant... read more and friendly and all her recommendations proved wonderful. She even helped us with baby naming

  My partner and I had a late lunch here on the 15th of March. The restaurant was relatively quiet which was to be expected due to the upcoming pandemic. The... read more manager came to our table to take our order. I've never been served by someone so rude. She was rushed and when we asked her a question regarding the menu she raised her voice giving us an abrupt unhelpful answer and exhaled loudly shaking her head. When we asked to see another menu she threw it on our table instead of placing it down. No eye contact, manners or even a smile. It made us feel terrible. Thought it was her manner but then heard her speak to the next table that were seated and she was so nice to them. Once we had paid our bill I asked to speak to the manager and she seemed shocked to hear we had such a bad experience with her. She said all she can say is sorry and it was probably to do with it being the time of day we arrived as that is the change over time. There is no excuse for the behavior towards a customer. Will never be eating here again.

  Great place, outstanding food and friendly service. I had the best scallops in my life here, and from what I could see at other tables all of their food is... read more of the same caliber. Definitely 5 stars in my book.

  Turned away lots of people. Crab salad starter was great. Mains venison & lamb very door. Nice atmosphere and service was very good. Expensive but worth it.

  After a long awaited and needed night in a nice restraunt we booked into The Brasserie (known as Blakes locally).

They had a great variety of food on the... read more menu and the premises are extremely well decorated with such a beautiful ambiance.

We both had the sirloin steak and it is one of the nicest steaks I've eaten. I ordered mine to be medium/pink and it was still a little under done for me. I was still okay to eat it and it was just as nice as to my preference for a more well done steak. The onion rings are a delicious combo to have with it.

I went for the garlic butter and my partner had the pepper whiskey sauce, slightly a little watery but tasted delicious.

I ordered from the wine menu and went with the staffs choice. It was quiet a nice wine and the selection on the menu was brilliant.

Usually we only have dinner as we do be too full for dessert but the mains was that good we chose dessert too.

Both of us went for the creme brulee and it was that good I'll be back again just for that.

The staff could not do enough for us and where so warm and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting away with them.

For a nice night out or a special occasion, here is worth a visit.

  From the reviews we expected something quite special, so we were a bit disappointed, although ‘average’ may be a bit harsh.
Large menu and large portions and the staff were... read more friendly and engaging but aspects of the food were disappointing.
Chowder was bland, under-seasoned and far too creamy, but the scallop starter was good.
Our sea trouts were well cooked and came with more than enough potato and vegetable accompaniments but we were recommended to order more potatoes and broccoli - which were then hardly touched. Overall that dish should have been simpler to get the full benefit of the sea trout.

  We had an amazing meal at this restaurant. We shared appetizer and dessert and each had main course. Food was awesome and portions were big. Even with shared dishes we... read more were full at the end of the meal. We went for the set menu that...More

  Anytime we visit Galway we always stop here for dining as we can never fault the food or service and it’s the reason we keep coming back. This visit was... read more no different even with covid restrictions and protocols we didn’t feel it impacted our visit . We booked a couple weeks in advance as with it being Christmas week we new it would be hard sourced . Emer who took the booking was a pleasure to deal with and explain the protocols and time limit we had , our friends also booked and they had the same thing to say . While we couldn’t sit together Emer was happy to place them close to us while maintaining a safe distance.
Food was incredible that night the steaks top class , cauliflower curry full of flavour and the brownie for desert really ended the meal on a high. Even our friends on the next table couldn’t fault a thing so much so they rebooked the next day again for an early sitting . We were served by the wonderful Aoife H that night who couldn’t be more helpful when explaining the menu wine and serving us through the evening. Even with the uncertainty and announcement of a third lockdown she was extremely professional and didn’t let the news impact her service . She also served our friends again the next day and was still as friendly as ever .
Our friends have found a new favourite in Galway and no doubt will be all back when we can.
Stay safe the Walshe’s and Kelly’s

Even prior to visiting the lovely hostess... read more rang us to let us know that the table booked before us had cancelled & if we would like to come earlier it was no problem. The food was absolutely divine - particularly the chicken and potato gratin! The kind blonde haired waitress couldn’t have been more accommodating- she even dropped out a happy birthday plate for my boyfriends birthday. Really reasonably priced also! As a waitress myself in a very popular restaurant I know what good food and service is and this place exceeds every expectation. We can’t wait to return!

  Booked a table for 8pm, even though when we arrived early we were seated immediately by a very friendly waitress, possibly a manager. We ordered a bottle of wine which... read more was brought to us directly. The menu was small but a great variety to suit everyone’s needs. We had the crock of mussels & the goats cheese to start.

From the welcome, cosy atmosphere to the prices I would highly recommend, thanks
