A decent spot with a good atmosphere. The restaurant operates two evening sittings at 6:30 pm and 8:30pm, which is worth noting when planning your visit.

We started with the clam chowder, which was flavourful and enjoyable, though slightly on the salty side. For mains, I ordered the scampi, which arrived deep-fried — something that was not made clear on the menu. Had I known beforehand, I likely would have chosen something else, so it would be helpful if the menu described the preparation method more clearly.

Overall, the food was a little salty for our taste. Service was fine, but there is room for improvement in terms of attentiveness.

A reasonable option for seafood in Clifton, but a few tweaks in the kitchen and front of house would go a long way.

Went there for lunch I must say the oysters, the clams and the fish were pretty damn good. Had fish and chips as well. The fish was a little bit oily but still very decent to the taste. Must say 4.5 is a little bit low for this restaurant as it was a very good experience from top to bottom very clean located in a nice area. And the food was pretty spectacular. I like oysters again after having them from this place they were so fresh. A must go.

Great food and good atmosphere. Genuinely the best oysters I’ve ever had, and the Killary muscles were lovely too. Good pint of Guinness and nice wine to go with it!

This is always a must-stop any time I’m in Clifden. Delicious fresh fish, expertly cooked, served with style. A top-notch experience, every time. Today, cod gougons, crisp in panko breadcrumbs, with simple tasty dressed potato and salad. I’m already dreaming of my next visit!
