You ordered at the bar and they brought your food to the table. My only comment was the menu was very limited. My daughter had the tacos which were good but very small, and the wife and I split the taco fries that was really good. I would definitely go back if we were just drinking beer but look elsewhere if you're looking for dinner or lunch this is only an appetizer place up on the rooftop

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.

We were eventually seated at a communal table which did end up being a lot of fun as we met two sisters traveling together and a young couple on a birthday trip. We had a lot of fun talking with everyone and comparing travel notes. Service was fast and the food was good... fresh and tasty... but I did think that portions were a bit small for the price. With the exception of dessert which was quite a lot and good for sharing.

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.

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.

Every dish we ordered was good: oysters with rhubarb salsa; sweet potatoes/split pea dip with pita; tamarind beef skewers; mushroom dumplings; beet salad and the amazing ceviche. All are small plates perfect for sharing. Everything was excellent though the dumplings were under spiced. One fun note: they sell glasses of mystery wine, high quality wine not listed on the menu and you guess what it is. We had a few! Padraic o conaire, the Irish author that Galway likes to talk about, lived where the restaurant is based now. The rooms are filled with plants and photos; as well as jars of liquor being infused for future cocktails. Reservations are mandatory but not too hard to get in the bar. We compared menus and actually preferred the bar menu. It's pricey but a great evening

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. Chill vibes which is way different compared to the rowdiness of the Latin quarters.

We were seated at a lovely table alongside a window so were able to watch the street activities with the off and on rain of early June. The broad menu tempted us to share starting with the delicious crab claw appetizer-about 6-8 small crab claws served in a buttery garlic sauce that you pick up and eat. Next we enjoyed the savory Caesar salad absolutely loaded with crispy bacon on a bed of butter lettuce. We split a 8 oz. Beef filet for our main and chose the rich whiskey peppercorn sauce as the topping. The meal came with fries/chips and there was fresh bread throughout the meal. There's a nice wine list and drinks menu. The frozen "parfait" with chocolate and baileys (more like a slice of ice cream) was a fitting end to the meal.
