Review of Galway Bay Irish Restaurant

The food was amazing however if you are going do not sit at a high top table. The first time we went our waitress was amazing and knowledgeable. The second and third time we went we were asked if we were ok with a high top and we said yes. When you sit a high top, the bartenders are your servers. Both times the bartenders were rude and did not care about my allergy. The first time I expressed it and asked for mashed potatoes as a side, my food was brought out to me with French fries were are marked as not gluten free multiple times on the menu. The food runner was super sweet about it and corrected the mistake, noting that the server should’ve marked that I had an allergy. I brushed it off as just one negative experience and went again a few weeks later. Again we sat at a high top. The bartender this time was just annoyed at everything we did. My friend is celiac and when she asked what sides she could get instead of French fries he just slapped her menu back down in front of her and pointed at it not speaking…the sides aren’t even listed on the menu. He asked her if she was fine with French fries and she said no because they aren’t gluten free and what else could she have and he listed two sides sounding just very annoyed at us. Thankfully neither of us got sick and we loved the food, however the experience sitting at the high tops was so negative and frustrating.
