    Steak and prawns

    The steak was good. Not amazing, but was good. The prawns were cooked perfectly. The garlic butter sauce was too much for me. It was really heavy compared to the prawns. The bruschetta was WONDERFUL! The best thing I had. That was worth coming for alone.

    My friend had this seafood dish - loved it!

    We were amazed to find a table available on such short notice and were very grateful for the kind attentive service! The menu was interesting. I settled on the surf and turf tacos and the rocket salad: they were each absolutely delicious! We also shared the chips, slaw with cashews and buttered greens sides family-style and between us all we finished everything! The tacos were exceptional: fresh breaded and fried shrimp on spiced shredded brisket! Such an elegant twist to an American favorite: BBQ!

    Small order of duck wings and the goat cheese tart

    Really good food and nice atmosphere. The duck wings were amazing and I wish I was local so I could go back on a regular basis. The goat cheese tart was a little disappointing but the wings more than made up for it.

    Stopped in Galway on our way back from the Cliffs and this looked like a cute modern spot to grab a bite. The person who greeted us was a bit rude - told us to wait, meanwhile a server walked up right after him and grabbed two menus and seated us right away. The same snippy man (thin with glasses) whom we met first came to take our drink orders. I asked him if the prawns were small shrimp or large ones that are similar to small lobsters & he was a bit condescending. He said, "Not to be rude but prawns are shrimp." I have travelled to many countries, and prawns can be rather large. Likewise, lobsters are not always similar to the ones in the US - they are large prawns. Varies by country/location. We ordered the surf & turf and as expected, the lobsters were large prawns, or small lobsters. For those of us from the US, they are not the traditional lobster. I had asked for my steak to be cooked medium rare and came out well done. Inedible. I now realize this is the Irish way but took me two attempts to understand - never order steak in Ireland if you want it cooked properly. They KILL the meat. And he forgot my cocktail so when our entrees came, I had to ask for it. Food delivery is really slow. If you're in a rush, don't bother. Tiny memo - they put the steak knife and lobster tools on the plate (under the food - see pic) so once you received it - they were covered in lobster and steak juices. Might be better to set the silver/tools on the table or hand to customers. The POSITIVE: the duck wings are delicious. Best thing on the menu. The lobster was fresh - just needed some lemon. The servers were great & more than helpful. The snippy one might be a manager - if he is that shouldn't be the case. He's a pill.

    Great lobster roll and service!

    First time visiting Galway and happened to walk into Beef & Lobster. Great food and service!

    Nice sign.

    Beef & Lobster, located in Galway Ireland, was the first restaurant on my vacation here after over a week of trying that I walked out of thinking I would definitely want to come back again some time and would recommend it to others. In addition to having a open, clean, and chic atmosphere, guests can come in casual attire and feel comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The food is very good. A stand out dish was their "hot and spicy duck wings" appetizers which were extremely flavorful and served like buffalo wings but with a tangy sort of Asian bbq glaze that was both unlike anything I have had before and a interesting dish. I ordered the lobster roll for my main course which is a Warm Toasted Brioche with Cold Lobster Meat in a Light Citrus Mayo with Cucumber, Mango and Red Pepper Salad. The brioche was a bit too toasted and crunchy, and the lobster meat would have been better warm and deeper into the roll but was displaced by the salad element. However, the butter was served separately and once applied warmed up the meat and soaked into the brioche softening it a bit and the flavors were all there and on point. Really enjoyed it. My wife had the Extra Large Lambay Island Crab Claws and King Prawns in Chili, Garlic and Coriander Butter Sauce. I tried one and it was also delicious. There were no bad orders in our meal. Nothing we regretted getting or eating. Prices were a bit high but not overly so considering this is a tourist area and the food is high quality seafood and steak. Pre tip, our meal was in the mid 60 euro range which seemed an appropriate price point to me considering I have paid much more for much worse. If you are looking for some really good surf and turf with a nice atmosphere and reasonable price point in Galway, go here. You will be happy you did.

    Filet & king prawns in garlic butter.  Green beans.  Baked potatoes
    Doug G.

    Only open less than a month, I would say Galway has another amazing restaurant to add to its roster. Although not serving beers (yet-liquor license still coming) that did not distract from a wonderful night for my wife and I. Fresh Irish crab was the appetizer we shared. Not large but a very tasty opener. We then both selected the surf and turf combo of Filet & King Prawns in garlic butter. Both steaks were amazing. Cooked to order. Mine medium and my wife's burned (I mean Well Done) Not sure what the definition of "king prawns" is in Ireland, but this American would call it "shrimp". Average size. Very tasty. Garlic butter awesome and was poured over the potatoes. The sides. Green beans (very fresh) & baked potatoes (sadly light on the sour cream & chives) Then dessert. Build your own cheesecake. Wonderful. We selected Nutella chocolate, Oreo crumbs & Reese's Cups. Each item arriving in its own container. (Idea for the restaurant- need a knife or something slender to help get all the amazing Nutella out of the container -- better yet --warm it up a bit before serving ) Service was attentive. Unlimited ice water a nice touch and we would definitely come back.

Too much traffic, glass bottles dropping (crashing) in to a bin. Could've done without that, startling every time someone dropped or threw a bottle in. On to the rest of the experience. We got set very quickly, upon verifying our reservation. Took too long for the server to come around and off us anything. Got our drink order in, drinks cane pretty quickly, bottles of beer and a pour of wines. Food orders got in shortly afterwards, with the wait time not taking too long. Our group ordered the Tempura Prawns, Grilled Hake with mashed potatoes & broccolini, grilled hake with chips & broccolini, seafood linguine. Everything was prepared nicely and tasted quite good. Good volume of food too, nobody left hungry. The service... not that great. Really took away from the overall experience. Not engaging, not explaining dishes, kinda cold! Took multiple tries to get their attention. Not a complete showstopper but could definitely use improvement. Cheers.

    Roaming the streets of Galway trying to find a place to eat for our group of 4. Tried other places,…read moreno luck. When we left our apartment, I mapped us to Oscar's as I had read it was a great seafood restaurant. I popped in the door, no reservation, asked about a table. The front person, said, we just had a cancellation, the table is yours! Sweet, great timing. It was busy and buzzing in the restaurant, great vibe! Our server, Ilya, was on us quickly offering g drinks etc. A couple glasses of wine and a couple beers, both were OK. We ordered a couple specials and recommended dishes on the menu. Every dish was amazing. Cooked perfectly, sauces and seasoning was perfect! All aspects of the meal was delicious, cleaned our plates. Very creative seasoning, African influences, unique spices, etc. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant if you can get in.

First, service was top-notch. We didn't have to wait for anything and our server was pleasant, helpful, and made great suggestions. I started off with oysters. They were the best I have ever had! Better than Maine, NYC, CT or even New Orleans. These blew me away. For dinner we ordered off of the specials menu. My daughter had the Sea Bass with sweet potato and Zhoug. I had the Grilled Aran Lemon Sole. Both were delicate, delicious and expertly prepared. My daughter ordered dessert and a cappuccino, and I had a coffee. This was the only place in all of Ireland that served real cream for the coffee when asked. No place else had cream, so I was in heaven. I have already told all of my friends that when I go to Ireland they have to stop at this place. We have a favorite restaurant in Dublin and now we have a favorite restaurant in Galway.

We didn't have reservations but the restaurant was able to seat us at the bar. For drinks, it's wine and beer. They do have some liquor. Reading previous reviews highlighted an amazing cocktail, but the manager said they do not serve cocktails. They can do things like gin and a bottle of tonic. We opted for a bottle of Riesling. We started off with complimentary soda and Guinness bread and butter. You could taste the freshness! My husband and I ordered the seafood chowder. One of our favorites in Ireland. For dinner, my husband ordered the seared tuna which was a special for the evening. I ordered the pan seared seabass. Our meal came with a side of potatoes too. His seared tuna was so good! There was calamari along with a vegetable. My seabass was so good. It came with potatoes and corn. Most fish we have come across in Ireland was fried so it was nice to have so many pan seared options. The dessert menu looked great but we were pretty full. I took a peek just in case.
