Galway Bay

The food was amazing! Great flavors in every dish! Although the servers were running like crazy and doing a great job with pretending they weren't behind. Very very slow. Manager needs to hire another server.

Our first visit here was fantastic! The bartender Stephan was super friendly and even gave us a free drink when we told him we were there on our honeymoon. They have a separate room with Scrabble and chess, which is a nice place to sit and have a drink away from the bar.nWe went for breakfast another day, arrived about 12:40 on a Saturday. We waited about 10 minutes before being seated, then told there was a 20 minute wait due to kitchen back up. We waited, then when we were seated we were refused breakfast. Pretty sure they did it on purpose to not serve the breakfast menu anymore. Kind of sucked since it was our last stop before heading to the airport. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would, but maybe we just caught it on a bad morning.

After seeing this place ranked #1 on Trip Advisor I knew we were in for a treat. My kids love it when I make Shepherds Pie so I had a feeling their first Irish experience would be enjoyable. The ambiance seemed authentic with Irish music playing. We ordered the Crab Dip which was amazing. Tons of crab and cheese, onions and tomatoes. Tomatoes? Yes! Tomatoes. It was different but helped to offset the strong but delicious onion flavor. For the main course we ordered Shepherds Pie which was absolutely delicious. Huge portion that my husband and I helped my 13 year old eat. Massive lamb flavor with all the ingredients of a traditional shepherds pie. My son loved the pastry layer that made it feel like croutons when he stirred it all up together. My husband ordered the Forfar Bridie that had many of the same flavors of shepherds pie but with larger chunks of meat, white gravy and served in a puff pastry. Incredible lamb flavor. I think it would be excellent with the gravy from the Shepherds pie, but I can see why they wanted a contrasting option. I ordered the Chicken and Mushroom Pasty. It was served in a puff pastry square with white gravy. The delicious herb flavored chicken and mushroom center was a perfect contrast to the two other dishes. My husband and I went half and half which worked good since it had the same gravy. My oldest son ordered the seafood fettuccine. It looked good but boring when you could have enjoyed an authentic Irish dish. My daughter loved her fish and chips on the kids menu. One fish piece and she said the fries were the best ever. To finish we had to try an Irish dessert. Our only option that night was the Pineapple Cheesecake. Let me tell you, the 5 of us splitting that delicious piece of heaven took skillful delegation. My husband had to carefully divide bite by bite an equal amount to all of us, one at a time. Haha. It was like holding back vultures from fresh meat. The cheesecake that is make from a local baker and is was worth every little bite. We would have ordered another one if we weren't all soo stuffed. We will never come to Ocean Shores again and miss out on this hidden gem. Absolutely the best place to eat on the Washington Coast. Usually I would have taken pictures of the food but it we were hungry and so excited to eat it. You won't be disappointed.

Decent food, very Irish cuisine as advertised. Great little shop with Irish flags, hats, t-shirts etc, great for presents.

Peaceful place to be
