A good menu with a wide variety of seafood on offer in addition to a few other choices. The food and service were good but not great. The scallops, for example, were covered in a thick sauce which took away the potential subtleties of the tastes. There was a nice ambience and service was good, if a little clinical! A... More

I followed it with it with excellent mussels, large and perfectly cooked. Another of our party had superb seafood platter, so generous that it was a struggle to finish. This is... More

I had a late lunch there two weeks ago after receiving two recommendations from locals and it was just delicious. The food was simply delicious. I had breaded calamari, the best I have ever eaten, the sauce to eat the calamari with was a perfect blend of savors, the bread was reallly good too and the dessert (chocolate nut pudding... More

We dined here the two nights we were in Clifden - Food was excellent as was the service. 3 course special evening meal is very good value. It is advisable to book in advance though

We were told by our B&B owner that we'd be lucky to get in as they would be booked up. And we were confused over opening times. However as we walked past the restaurant about 5.30pm it was open and we were offered a table after 9 unless we would be prepared to eat upstairs then. That's what we did.... More

Went to Mitchell's as a stop on our trip round Connemara. Had a wonderful calamari as a starter, then a fish bake and salmon pancakes for each of us. Absolutely delicious. The service was warm and friendly, as was the town in which Mitchell's is located.

My wife and I dined here during our holiday in Connemara. All I can say is that it was just super from start to finish. The food was fantastic, the staff were exceedingly pleasant and attentive throughout our dining experience. It was just great and very good value.

In many visits over several years Mitchell's has been consistently excellent for quality of food, service, value. The only disappointments have been failing to secure a reservation at busier times!

While staying in Clifden we had dinner at Mitchell's and are still talking about the meal. The crab cakes were the best I have had. Each person at our table were equally impressed with the freshness, quality, and presentation of our meals. The waiters were very professional and efficient. This is a small cozy restaurant and would be perfect for... More
