I had Ali's prime catch which was a delicious lemon sole served on a great mushroom risotto. We had some delicious oysters for starters and the Apple cinnamon cheesecake as dessert. It was all quite tasty and the place and service was great as well. Can't complain, great find!

Best fish restaurant in Galway in my opinion. Always bring here family and friends visiting from Italy. Fish is always top notch, very fresh and perfectly cooked. Great amount of options and extremely welcoming staff.

I ordered the Seafood Linguine and my wife ordered the Tofu Poke Bowl with a side of sweet potato chips. Unfortunately they were out of the goat cheese salad and Tofu, so my wife just had the Poke Bowl plain (only vegetarian option) which still had great flavor. The Seafood Linguine was packed with monkfish, mussels, prawns, and squid, and the sauce was excellent. I would highly recommend.

Fish and chips here with wonderful soft, white hake (catch of the day), beautiful light, crisp batter..yummy.. Love the seafood chowder and parmesan & truffle mayo chips too. One taste and we hooked 😊. We'll be back and looking forward to try other dishes in the menu.
