This place came recommended by a friend. We really enjoyed our dining experience here. The food was very nice, the service was perfect too. We had a wine recommendation from server/owner which paired perfectly with our food. We will definitely be back…every time we are in Galway I hope. Vegan & Vegetarian options…yum.
