“In a stunning position, with views over the harbour and beach to distant mountains, Michael O’Grady’s charming seafood restaurant is a lovely spot on a fine summer’s day, with pretty blue and yellow tables set up outside the restaurant, and old boats around the harbour adding to the atmosphere – and, understandably, it’s very popular among Galway diners.” Ireland Guide
“Gorgeous meal had here yesterday. We were looking out at the sea, holding hands, dreaming, bliss! Shared mussels for starter, soup spoon used to drink all the sauces, yum! The we both had fish and unfortunately no room for dessert. This restaurant has been a constant high-class establishment since I was a child, and still is.” Tripadvisor
