17/03/2025: Recently visited with a group for a special birthday event. We were seated upstairs. Shortly after sitting down a large party arrived for a birthday celebration also. They were extremely loud and did not take their seats for 15 - 20 mins. The manager did try to get them to take their seats but were slow to do so. The group had no regard for other patrons having their meal. Added to this was a person playing a piano and base guitar which exacerbated the noise level. As a result it was impossible to hold a conversation as you could not hear each other. We asked to be seated downstairs but were told that there was only a table outside. As we were celebrating a special event we wanted a dining experience and not a Covid reminder of having to eat outside. After making our complaint it felt as though our meal was served in a rush to get us out of there as quickly as possible which also impacted on our night. We could see other patrons were struggling also with the noise and another group did leave and took a table outside. If management knew they had a large party booked in (approximately 30) they should not have taken bookings for other groups or simply accommodated them downstairs instead or indeed they should have informed us at the time of booking of another large celebration taking place. It felt as though our custom was not valued as we were not spending as much as the large group even though our meal was over 300 euros. All in all it was down to poor management, and organisation of a venue. The complaint was not handled well either and it felt very dismissive of our night and celebration at the expense of a much larger party. Very disappointed as our night was ruined and members of our party had travelled to be with us but we could not even talk to each other at dinner. This was not an isolated event either as we had eaten here before and a similar scenario happened.

17/03/2025: Terrible dinner experience as a large party ruined the night as they did not consider the rest of the diners. The staff and management did absolutely nothing and when I complained to the manager he just blamed them and made an excuse that more came than had originally been booked.

16/04/2025: The food is fantastic. Surprising dishes, beautiful decor and clear explanations of dishes and drinks. The only downside: they ask for a tip, at least 10%. This is unworthy of such a restaurant.

14/04/2025: Once I came in, I could feel the warmth of the staff and the restaurant. I absolutely loved my experience here and it was very memorable. There were 24 unique dishes that covered different elements of cuisine from the western region. I had savory oyster ice cream, along with artichoke foam and delicious bread that came alongside a poem. There were surprises here and there, with the chefs proudly discussing the elements of the dishes. I appreciated hearing about the dishes as it told a story of what went behind each dish. The staff members seemed passionate and were so kind. I look at my pictures and get so happy thinking about how I felt when I tried the dishes. Some were so surprising! The meal ended with a nice touch where they gave me a menu with chamomile seeds embedded within. They told me I could plant it and I plan to. What a great experience! I highly recommend. Everything was delicious and creative. I would go back again. This element was very memorable for my trip to Ireland.

27/03/2025: Located around the corner from Eyre Square, it’s a lovely hotel we used just for an overnight in Galway City for St. Patrick’s Day. The room, bed, and bathroom were clean and very comfortable. The bathroom has both a great shower and large tub to suit anyone’s preference. Minibar in-room is fully stocked if you’re so inclined despite all the great pubs in Galway. Restaurant serves a nice almost full Irish breakfast (no beans, sad face), and the bartenders were friendly while we burned time prior to a dinner reservation. Parking was included in the rate, which was a plus considering the holiday and festivities. Front desk staff were very kind and even let us check into our room very early. Great visit!

25/02/2025: Rode out history Storm Eowyn at the Park House and couldn't have been more comfortable and cared for. Plus my car had a cozy and sheltered spot. Such a convenient location, plus handy to have an eatery in house. Great service at front desk and server Kitty was fabulous, too. I shall return!

07/02/2025: Pedí el "Pastel de los Pastores" y estaba extremadamente decepcionado. Demasiado ajo en polvo y dudoso "puré de patatas". Muy seco a pesar de añadir una jarra de "jus". Me fui 1/2. Si un restaurante tiene una cocina abierta, entonces los chefs al menos deben actuar profesionalmente. Fui testigo de tantas infracciones HACCP que fue aterrador. Picando comida y comiendo sin lavarse las manos. Rascarse el cabello sin lavarse las manos.

21/01/2025: Went here for lunch and ordered the fish and chips. Lovely crispy batter on 3 nicely sized pieces of fish with ample chips, a delicious little salad and a pot of tartar sauce. Service was quick and friendly and the price for what I got was very reasonable.

22/03/2025: St Patrick’s day here went off, literally a movie. Can’t remember a thing but loved every second

20/03/2025: Great live music, great location, food was good and we were able to get a comfortable table.

19/03/2025: It is a nice pub that you could easily spend an evening in. The food is nice, as a veggie there were good options. Service was very good, the staff really worked hard to ensure customers were attended to.

19/03/2025: Beautiful tasty food highly recommend it

20/03/2025: Lovely hot food very reasonably priced

18/03/2025: Small restaurant, refined and homemade cuisine, incredible onion rings. Cash payment preferred by the owners.

05/04/2025: Friendly restaurant where the service is efficient and fast. Very warm welcome from the staff. Very affordable prices with hearty dishes.

30/03/2025: This place is really much better inside than it looks from the street.

17/03/2025: I had high hopes for this restaurant, and the meal started off well. The fish soup was rich and flavorful, and the mackerel was fresh and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. The main courses were disappointing—lacking the same care and quality as the starters. The scallop dish was over salted and lemon sole which was floured before cooking seemed to be cooked in burnt butter. There was very little choice for gluten-free diners, and to make matters worse, there were no gluten-free desserts on the menu at all. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and attentive, but sadly, that wasn’t enough to make up for the underwhelming meal. Overall, it was not an experience I would repeat.

23/03/2025: So much history in this place...we stayed for a while!

22/03/2025: It's very large and has several different rooms. We couldn't eat because that was in a different area, but we had a few pints.

09/04/2025: Everything was amazing. We ordered a half portion of chowder which was the best I've ever had, the shrimp nachos and a salmon po boy and the shrimp Mac and cheese. It was so well seasoned and fresh and the service was very prompt and friendly!! I think the menu was one of the best seafood restaurants I've seen especially as I'm not actually a huge shellfish fan- there was so much fish to choose from. We arrived at 6.30pm on a Tuesday and had no problem getting a table but right now it's 8pm and there's a q out the door! Get there early.

08/04/2025: Very good seafood restaurant with tasteful decoration. We ate on a round table that rested on a rudder.
