Giovannis Galway
Galway
23/06/2025: Tried to get food delivery to my house in Ballybane (have gotten it many times in the past no issue) the website wouldn’t accept the address so I just rang to see what was wrong with the website. I then proceeded to have heated conversation towards me from an employee who answered the phone. I tried to explain the situation but the man immediately went irate at me explaining how I wasn’t getting food and to ‘shut up and listen’ and I wasn’t getting any food. I’m completely taken back cause in my years in Galway I have never once had a bad experience with Giovannis Galway. Genuinely the attitude of your man has turned me off the place now
17/06/2025: First time & Last time getting food from here.Food was cold and inedible. Zero stars.

Mixgreens
Galway
09/05/2025: Ok food (reason i'm giving more than 1 star) reasonably priced and clean. However the service I got was absolutely awful.
I got the full irish which you get a free tee/coffee with. Personally I can't have caffeine (medical reasons), therefore I asked for a decaf coffee. Yes I could just ask for a hot chocolate or something however i thought for something different would be nice. I made it very clear to the waitress atleast twice of my order at the till, which seemed ok so I sat and waited.
Fast forward 10 or 15 minutes later and she came with my cappuccino. I asked, to double check, if it's decaf to which she slowly said no. I then (again) explained i can't have caffeine and would like a decaf coffee instead. As she was taking it away she HUFFED as if it was all my fault. My friend noticed she wasn't writing anything down while ordering, and the restaurant was fair quite at the time (that said she did seem to be the only one behind the till.) God knows if I had another food intolerance.
Again a few minutes passed and this other waiter came with a cappuccino. I asked if its decaf which he said yes to (this turned out to be my friend's which I didnt know we got the same drink lol). A few seconds later the same lady came out with my coffee. I again questioned if it was decaf where she said yes.
At this point I gave it to my boyfriend as I felt couldn't trust them. After drinking it he said there's 100% caffeine in there (I definitely felt more awake after a few sips myself)
The waitress seemed to not give a toss about being there. What makes it angry is the way she dealt with the situation. I also work in hospitality (including being a barista at times), and I myself had times where I might make a mistake. However I'd always rectify them and show good customer service. She literally lied to me about what type of coffee it was and made me feel bad for asking to send it back. The manegers really have to give their employees a customer service crash course or something Great start to the day 😃
A few extra points: at first I ordered a mocha, however was charged €12 when the menu said €11.50. When I asked about this she said the mocha was an extra 50 cents. She never said that prior nor as far as I could tell it said on the menu. Also the food came before the drinks, which i thought was a bit weird as usually its the other way around. These weren't not that much of a deal however, just thought I'll point these out aswell.
09/03/2025: Have tried the pasta a couple times and it was awful. Low quality and maybe cooked wrong. Chicken was chewy and flavourless.
Other dishes could be good though

Deelys Cafe
Galway
17/07/2025: The food was great and the prices are also good. It's a family owned cafe, so everyone is working hard. I really liked the lunch sandwiches and the pastries looked amazing, so I'm going to try them in the future.
16/07/2025: I stopped by Deely’s Cafe recently and, unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The food was just okay—nothing particularly memorable or worth going out of your way for. What really stood out, though, was the rude attitude from the staff. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed customers.

O'Hehirs Bakery

Could be worse
31/07/2025: I got called a doughy scoundrel after the reddit man behind the counter saw me watching JRE

05/05/2025: The chicken and the burger was so nice but the fries were the worst,so big, cold and so dry and tasteless. Maybe if they can try and make the fries small or medium and cook them well

Gaslight Brasserie
Galway
13/07/2025: Poor food and service, a group of 10 and everyone was disappointed. Food was not fresh, overcooked and lacked flavour.
The hotel appears nice, but the restaurant doesn’t match this quality. The tables were set incorrectly, long waits for any requests and multiple mistakes in the orders.
