absolutely unfriendly staff. yes, we came in bank holiday, we didn't know we had to make reservations. So we asked if you had a table? prawan said that about 15 o'clock is a reservation time. we came around 13.30 watch lady after us was sent out, how impressed I was when I saw that lady speaks to one of the workers and she got a table that could fit 4 people as we were instead of two. we were happy to have lunch outs...

We arrived on Sunday afternoon in this restaurant. Nevertheless, the staff were friendly and very attentive. like almost everyone else here.

We have been enjoying Monk's for many years, and the food, drink, staff, and atmosphere is the best!!! The view of Galway Bay is not to be missed.

If Gregans Castle Hotel is fully booked for dinner, Monks is a fantastic alternative for a delicious and fresh homemade meal.
