Gemelle's — Restaurant in Galway

TheThe owner says that covid certs are a small price to pay for his business to remain open. Well given that you discriminate against unvaccinated people, I certainly won't be paying any price to keep you going. I'll be advising anyone I know not to ever eat here. Shame to give a bad review to a small business I've never actually eaten in that have gone through tough times but then it's a shame that restaurants like these will discriminate against the unvaccinated people like me who in reality pose as much risk to them as a fully vaccinated person, probably much less but time will guide us with that.

History will judge you very badly, but I pray for you because you do not know what you are doing. Can't see any further than the nose on your face. But we will remember your stance when the truth comes to light. Shame on you, very easy to see how the German people allowed the Nazis to do what they did. owner says that covid certs are a small price to pay for his business to remain open.

The calamari was extremely rubbery, but the oddest part of the experience was: at the end of my meal, I asked where the toilet was. I was told that I wasn’t allowed use the restroom, because the chef was angry. This is the most insane and unprofessional thing I have ever experienced. The server made sure to assure me that it was “nothing personal” which again was a bizarre addition to it all. Truly truly odd experience.

ALSO: Two fish and chips and a calamari with x2 cokes cost 51 euro???? You can get a portion of fish for less than a tenner across the road, save your time and money.

EDIT : The owners response to the above review is yet another example of an odd culture that clearly exists in this venue. Whether he said so or not, a waiter told me that they had let 2-3 people use the bathroom, and that the chef was very angry at the mess, and therefore I would not be allowed use the restroom. To try imply I was lying in my original review is indicative of their clear detachment from reality. The response to customer dissatisfaction is not anger or confrontation. Try owning up to the shabby way your restaurant is run.

And if that’s what your cooking tastes like after 35 years, might I suggest a...

I didn't have a good experience here. We booked a table for 8 people. They only took note of the drinks of half of us, and they left before we could order for the rest. After many failed attempts of getting the staff attention, we only got to order the rest of the drinks when some of the people on their table were finishing theirs.

Then some people order starters that took almost as much as a main course to prepare. And the main course (I had Rib-Eye) wasn't as good as I was expecting for this place.

Finally, when they asked for the deserts everyone ordered theirs and I asked only for a coffee. They brought all the deserts and not my coffee. Again after many failed attempts to get staff attention, I got my coffee when everyone else had desert. Plus one of the girls with us was complaining that her creme brulee was cold.

The only thing I liked about this place, was that the staff was super friendly, chatting and joking with their customers, which is amazing, but they should keep an eye on the other customers...
