Best seafood chowder in Galway. Great menu, with fresh tasty seafood and something for everyone. Monkfish with clams on the specials was a nice idea. Lovely selection of wines, and the service was fantastic. We went on an evening with a couple of large groups so depending on the day it might not be the best spot for a quiet date, but we were told ahead by the host that this would be the case and the atmosphere was nice anyway. The price is very reasonable for the experience and quality of product.

We booked ahead at short notice and sat at the bar, which gave a nice view of the busy kitchen.
The staff were friendly throughout with just the right amount of interaction as we ate. Portions were excellent, in fact the sides we ordered weren't really necessary, though we enjoyed them anyway. We had delicious melt-in-your-mouth beef rib with perfectly-cooked crispy and not too greasy battered onion rings to start and a great (supposedly small) portion of mussels in a lightly spiced tomato and nduja sauce. Both excellent and generously portioned for starters. Mains had to be fish in this famous seafood restaurant and the monkfish with curried lentils and sea bass with mussels did not disappoint. The only shame was I didn't have enough room for dessert! We also had a lovely bottle of tempranillo from their extensive wine menu. Highly recommended, can't wait to return and try their lunch offerings.

We had two med/well steaks . They were good but should have been rested before being served as they were swimming in their juices on the plate. Pity. The accompaning French fries were a joke - a sneaky way of using up all of the potato, regardless of quality. Waitresses not in tune with kitchen.

We had a great evening at Kirwan's. The food is absolutely delicious and great service and atmosphere too. Our server Shannon was particularly friendly and professional. Would highly recommend dining here.

I can honestly say that this was the best food experience that we've had in a long while. From the moment we popped in to make a booking for that evening, we were impressed. We experienced friendly, engaging and professional service from very efficient staff (with a sense of fun). Combine this with EXCELLENT food and wine, a sense of generosity and a wonderful ambience. We are planning to make another trip to Galway already. Thanks in particular to the lovely lady from Carrick on S., who went above and beyond, one of an EXCELLENT team.

¡Vine aquí un martes por la noche y estaba tan ocupado! Y no me extraña. Un restaurante realmente encantador que una y otra vez sirve excelente comida a muy buenos precios. Tenía el pato y era maravilloso, mi compañero tenía un plato de pescado que estaba delicioso. El personal es muy agradable y servicial. Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante.
