Trappers Inn in Galway

06/06/2025: Disappointing. Given the many positive reviews, we had high expectations. We should have read through the reviews more carefully, as our experience was similar to that shared in about 1/5 of the reviews by others below. Atmosphere is really nice. Service is good, but nothing special given the price and reputation -- perfunctory comes to mind. The real disappointment was the food. The parma appetizer was great. The rest of the dishes, however, while cooked really well, were either remarkably bland, as if missing key ingredients, or plain off with mismatched ingredients. There are numerous better restaurants for this price across Ireland, including within a few blocks away in Galway.

04/06/2025: Yummy food, the female staff were kind, the male waiter we had was initially rushing us a bit as we arrived maybe 10-15 minutes late, which is not our norm, and said we were running out of time (as the table was booked again less than 2 hours after we arrived). Service was quick so turning over the table was not an issue. Other than that one comment, he was nice and it was a good experience. It’s a very popular spot so would recommend a reservation.
