Everything was perfect! Our table was ready, private. Food was excellent as was the service. They had a guitarist, really good. He sang Pink Pony Club with an Irish accent, too funny. Reasonable value

Always enjoy myself here. Probably my favourite spot in Galway. the food is delicious, and reasonable prices for the quality and its location ( newly added to the Michelin guide). portions are small, not quite Tapa's, but smaller than a plated dinner you would get in a larger restaurant. but it quality over quantity. Restaurant itself is small and intimate, and in Galways west end. The Venison is amazing, complimented with a delicious side of spuds.

Kevin was our waiter & he was wonderful. SO welcoming and so helpful with my gluten allergy. Kevin was lovely every time we saw him during our multiple times at the restaurant & bar at The Hardiman. Front line Staff are what truly make a place the kind of place that you want to return to.
