The main strength of the excellent menu here is, obviously, seafood, including a range of mouth-watering lunch options such as fresh Galway mussels marinière with toasted sourdough, and more substantial dinner mains like ale-battered fish with pea puree, tartar sauce and chips. Wash it all down with a choice of craft beer.
