I so recommend this place. Absolutely delicious. Fresh oysters and that sea clam chowder omg .. the flavor was spectacular. Not fishy at all. Super cute place out of the main square and busy streets. They even let used my on hot sauce for my oyster 🦪. Price 5/5 Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Place 5/5 Go out of your way it's worth it.

Amazing food and very nice attention from our lovely waitress (there was a young waiter who wasn't nice at all, but we avoided him). Food was incredible. My fiancee got the sea food risotto which I regret not getting it for myself. The place is very nicely decorated with a sea theme. We'll be coming again for sure!

The food was delicious and fresh and a great selection of fish dishes. The service quick and very friendly. The Restaurant was attractive. The location, just off the canal and... read more very near the city centre is good. We’ll definitely go back as all 5 of us loved the food and experience.

We booked Hooked for a family dinner on a quiet Sunday evening in February. The food was nice, not amazing but definitely worth trying. The service however, was really poor,... read more despite there only being 4 other occupied tables. The staff were actively engaged in extensively chatting with each other and also making themselves look busy behind the counter. There seemedto be no one actually in charge. We waited almost 20 minutes to have our order taken and when our food arrived, a few items were missing and ultimately failed to arrive until we were nearly finished with the meal. We had previously enjoyed coming to Hooked quite regularly for several years when we visit Galway, but this time we were very disappointed.

I’m not one to write reviews but I had to comment on this restaurant. Everything was absolutely gorgeous, would especially recommend getting any specials they have and the risotto and... read more crab and spinach dip was fantastic. Made our trip even better was our waitress Niamh, she was on top of every request. Gave our kids some colouring to keep them entertained which was a lovely touch and was extremely patient with my autistic son and made him feel comfortable which we really appreciated. Thanks to all the staff at Hooked and keep doing what you are doing!
