Food was great, service was slow. Mood was mellow in here which was actually what I was looking for in a meal. Recommend!

I had the seafood trio which included sea bass, salmon, and tiger prawns. The portion of the sea bass and salmon was good but the tiger prawns just seemed like they were frozen shrimp. Service was incredibly slow and the server didn't put in one of our entree orders. Overall, I thought the meal was just ok.

Day trip to Galway on a rainy Sunday… We found Kirby’s due to its good reviews on here - good to know the process works.
Being located just off the main thoroughfare we were concerned it could be packed. However, we discovered the restaurant side of the venue was surprisingly not so busy. Decisions quickly made we settled on a high top table with a good vantage point to watch the comings and goings of Galway.
My chums ordered pints of ‘The Black Stuff’ and the beef and Guinness slow cooked stew - after all we are in Ireland. Whilst I opted for a veggie option of chickpea burger and ‘secret sauce’ ! Although looking back I’m sure they needn’t be that secretive ;-) .
The stew and the Guinness were triumphant!!! Consumed in silence - always a good sign! My burger was… well a veggie burger albeit well cooked could have done with a little more of a kick plus the serve of fries we thought a little meagre.
On our departure we discovered a lovely band had begun to play on the other side of the bar and some guests started to dance, seemed like a superlative way to enjoy the rainy afternoon.
The team are super friendly and obliging although the gents toilet could do with a good scour and a little love.
Contented we headed back out into Galway ready for the afternoon’s adventures.
Thank you

My mother’s last name is Kirby, and so as we were walking by we knew this was a must!
Let me tell you, this was definitely the best meal of the trip! The steak was PERFECTLY cooked, and the salmon was SO MOIST. We were in awe while eating, worth every penny!
Highly recommended!

One of those spontaneous choices that turned out to be absolutely delightful. We had no booking and the place was buzzing, but luckily, we got a table for three.
The triple trio seafood was full of flavour, and the lemon butter sauce added just the right touch. The lamb steak was beautifully done—so juicy and tender. The vegetables were fresh and full of taste, not just on the plate for show.
Our son’s cod and chips were golden and crisp, and he enjoyed every bite.
We really loved the whole experience. Next time we are in Galway, this will definitely be our go-to spot for dinner.
Had fabulous meal excellent menu choice and all our group was impressed, paired with excellent service - will be back. No additional costs for sides and great wine list.

Enjoyed a fantastic striploin steak and plant-based mezze platter. Paired it with a Smithwick’s ale, plus a Connemara single malt in celebration of visiting that region. Our waitress Colette was lovely. Nice atmosphere.
