My husband and I booked The Chef's Table at West Restaurant during our stay at the Twelve Hotel in May. We had originally planned to visit Ireland in 2020 but for obvious reasons had to keep postponing until 2022. During this time Fergus O'Halloran kept...in touch and was exceedingly kind and helpful, even inquiring about my taste in wine since I advised that I would have the wine pairing with the tasting menu. The entire experience was excellent! We were seated at a comfortable table in the kitchen where we could watch the action and interact with the team. Everyone was lovely and treated us as if we were treasured guests in their home. Sadly Fergus was away on business so we missed meeting him, however, the Executive Chef, Martin O'Donnell, chatted with us and even served us some of the courses. I read that he's since moved on and there is a new head chef currently (undoubtedly devoted to maintaining the same high standards). The sommelier was delightful and chose some lovely wines to pair with the courses. The food was superb, at times surprising, but always flavorful with fresh, high quality locally-sourced ingredients. If our travels bring us back to Galway, we would definitely return.More
