Oscars Seafood Bistro Galway Reviews
We left feeling underwhelmed
This was on our list of places to eat, but ended up being something of a disappointment. The service & venue were fine, but the 2 dishes we had were average. My other half’s fish ‘n chips was overcooked so the breadcrumbs stuck to the fish. A
Dinner at Oscar's in the West End of Galway was a memorable
Dinner at Oscar's in the West End of Galway was a memorable meal. For my wife, she said it was the best meal in Ireland so far. We ordered drinks to start, my wife has taken to Port wine. I had a Guinness in the bottle, not as good as on draft.
Wonderful meal, fantastic fish
Lovely restaurant and great staff, friendly and helpful. Great selection, wonderful menu, lots of fantastic food & wine to choose from. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes seafood. There were four of us and we all had

Friendly service, great ambiance and scrumptious food was just what we needed at the tail end of long day of travel!
Description could have been a bit more descriptive
When in Galway we love a meal at Oscars, this time it was ever so slightly below par. We made a last minute booking on Friday 1st August, when the Galway’s races were in full swing and were lucky to get in, within minutes of us arriving the restau
Great seafood experience
Oscars was an amazing find. The location was great, the food delicious. I had the Lemon Sole special and my wife had the prawn and crab starters. We also had the Oyster Margarita , that was an experience. Noel was a great waiter, very friendly and kn

The chef's special of scallops was excellent as were the potatoes that came with it. Staff was friendly and on top of things- no rushing us through dinner and let us eat at the bar as we had not made reservations.
Exquisite bistro serving the most exceptional food.
Exquisite food with flavours I’ve never tasted, using natural ingredients from the area. Panko breadcrumbed squid was a delightful starter, followed by delicately flavoured lemon sole with dilish and chervil with champ, and a wonderful crispy haddo
Not an Oscar winning performance.
Two and a half stars. Underwhelmed by both food, and service. Portuguese style Monkfish stew crammed with poor quality mussels, several with closed shells, some with broken shells - the pieces of which we found in the bitter broth that was strewn w
Amazing dinner and great staff
We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Oscar’s tonight! Noel, our server, was fantastic—he took the time to explain each dish in detail, making everything sound just as amazing as it truly was. The seafood and oysters were out of this world;
Fantastic Meal in Galway
I visited Oscar's three years ago and had a phenomenal meal so had to return during this visit. The food is so inventive and good. It is a small restaurant but always full so you know it is good.
This place was great.
While I thought it would be one of those "small plate" joints, the entrees were so generous that we ended up with too much food. All three entrees were delicious and sophisticated. While they advertise the cuisine as Mediterranean seafoo
Service, food and atmosphere all wonderful.
There was a snow storm predicted so we were the only ones in the restaurant. Oysters shucked table side was a first for us. Local fish of the day was Sole and the preparation was excellent.

Lovely, intimate space with absolutely top-notch seafood, beautifully prepared. Excellent service. Best meal we had in Galway by considerable margin.
The food at Oscar's was fantastic.
Oysters, monkfish, and the fish of the day. Perfection! We only had water to drink. We were parched. My only slight complaint would be the service. It wasn't bad, per se, but it was not warm and friendly. Luckily, however, we were seated next to
Great food and service.
Showed up when it opened and was able to get a reservation. Staff made excellent recommendations.
Too pricey
High street restaurant taking advantage of its location with tables jammed together. Our shared starter of crab was tasteless. Main courses excessively salted. Service very good. Too pricey for food quality
Meal and service was excellent
We passed or walked Dominic Street and noticed this well presented Bistro. Booked an evening meal for Thursday the 18th. Not in the least disappointed, if anything the meal and service was excellent for every serving. If this review allowed 10 sta
And The Oscar goes to…. Oscars
We love Oscars and were very lucky to get a table as we only phoned earlier that evening, we were tucked away at the back of the restaurant, which was fine, the earlier you book the better. We had wild prawns from the specials board to start, plump
Overall - 3.
5/5 Service - 4/5 Ambience - 3.5/5 Food - 3/5 Value - 3.5/5 The food was just so so. Sauce was too strong overall and could not really enjoy the taste of the seafood. The oysters were too small. Servers were friendly.
Delicious Seafood!
Delicious spot for seafood in Galway. The food and dessert were delicious and fresh. The restaurant was easily walkable from our hotel on Prospect Hill. We made a reservation about 3 hours early and had no trouble getting a table. The staff were all
Wonderful meal.
We began with the oysters, which were divine. The fishcakes were a treat. We had a fish special that had a wonderful sauce and nicely done veggies. A salad completed a wonderful meal.
Delicious fresh seafood
My husband and I had a delicious dinner- the seafood was so fresh- the monkfish and Jake with mussels were amazing! To top it off we had a wonderful strawberry meringue for dessert- would highly recommend
Highly Recommend
Outstanding dinner at Oscar’s. And some of the most pleasant and hardworking staff we’ve come across. Two of us each had starters - prawns and oysters, and main courses - monkfish and sea bass. They were all amazing. And if that wasn’t enou
Fantastic seafood and service
We wanted top quality seafood and Oscar’s was it. We did not have a reservation but they fitted us in. One small complaint perhaps is that the table for 2 was pretty small but we managed. We started with the calamari tacos and oysters. The oysters

We traveled to Ireland for our 30 th anniversary.
We missed tour connecting flight due to airline delay. Our luggage did not make it to our destination for a couple of days. We weren't happy at all. I was cold with no warm clothes. We happened upon Oscar's Seafood Bistro in Galway for dinner. We

We got reservations at Oscar's for 6:30 on a Friday night in June. The meal was good - both the salmon ceviche and the scallops were a bit on the rubbery side, but everything tasted fine overall. We'd been looking forward to the meringue dessert ba
Delicious!! Food was incredibly fresh.
Service was impeccable. The fish cakes were to die for. Can't say enough about our experience. I would give it 6 stars if possible.
Best Seafood Restaurant in Galway
Oscars is a small Seafood Restaurant in the busy West End of Galway City. It has a great reputation and is well liked by locals and visitors. Booking is essential as it is very popular. All the seafood is fresh from the sea and is cooked to perfec

Oscars is simple the best.
I'm the guy who never eats the same thi g and typically not the same restaurant. I enjoy new experiences. However, the food at Oscar's is the best I have had anywhere in the world. You would be missing out on a great memory if you pass them up.
Excellent fish restaurant
Sasha was the perfect host again, when we had dinner here on New Year’s Eve. Once again food, ambience, waiting staff all worthy of 5 stars. From starters to main courses to deserts, all excellent. A delight to visit and a feeling of money well sp
Loved it
Beautiful family dinner. Just Loved it. Walked to the restaurant was part of the ambience. Relaxed warm enviornment
Graduation Ruined
A restraurant which claims to be vegetarian friendly sbould at least offer vegetarian options at a minimum, not to mention exhorbitant prices for some of the cheapest fish going, gold plated coalfish is not worth 30 euros. Ripoff oscars
Sublime seafood dining experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Oscars Seafood Bistro Galway at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Oscars Seafood Bistro Galway page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Oscars Seafood Bistro Galway to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Oscars Seafood Bistro Galway!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
