We went to this bistro twice during our stay in the Ardilaun Hotel and everything we got was absolutely delicious! The chicken wings, and the mussels especially are both great. I also really wanted to highlight Rosa who was our server for the evening. She was attentive, funny and friendly, and is really a credit to this restaurant.

What recent reviewers mention most:
Friendly staffTasty food
I recently ate here as a party of 12 and was blown away by the quality of the food. The specials were absolutely excellent, we tried the seabream and the duck, everything was very fresh and cooked perfectly. The staff were really kind and went above and beyond to make the dinner special (it was to celebrate an engagement). I'd really recommend eating here, some of the nicest food and friendliest service you can get in Galway! 10/10
Visited the other night and was dealt with fabulous service. The waiting staff were very polite and accommodating. Had a nice chat with two charming young ladies Jane Anne and Madison whom where absolutely lovely girls.
