Fodor's Review:

Good food and the friendly, enthusiastic staff make this bustling bistro one of Galway's most popular restaurants. The central location in an old stone building overlooking the Corrib River adds to the pleasure. Downstairs is a busy wine bar serving casual meals ($), while upstairs is a more sophisticated restaurant. The long, spacious, second-floor room has brightly colored paintings on the off-white walls, wooden floors, and well-spaced tables, with an eclectic mix of quirky white-painted stick or spoon-back chairs. The menu is short but well balanced, and while presentation is flamboyant, the food also tastes good. Try the west coast scallops with citrus salsa to start, then belly of pork with potato and celeriac rosti, or grilled fillet of sea bass with spring onion mashed potatoes, dill aioli, and organic leaves. Lobster and black sole are available in season.
