05/04/2026: Great meal and great service, as ever Nevin's never lets you down

03/04/2026: Excellent fish and chips and very good service. We spent one night at the campervan pitches, which was quiet and very pleasant. Great view and electricity/water available.

27/03/2026: It was a quiet mid-week evening when we turned up so there wasn't much in the way of atmosphere but the greeting was friendly the service good and the food was lovely. We were just passing through but would certainly visit again if we were in the area.

02/03/2026: Lovely place. Pure Italian restaurant with delicious food and lovely owners! If you looking for taste of Italy this is perfect place for it! Highly recommended even for children!

04/04/2026: Really nice local spot, friendly staff, well kept facilities, lovely food, nice screens to watch the game. Not too packed (of season when I visited). Friendly local vibe to it.

03/04/2026: There were four of us for lunch. We ordered mussels and cottage pie as starters. Both dishes were excellent. We also ordered fish pie and two dishes of the fish of the day (that day it was salmon). The portions are very large and filling. For dessert, we shared an apple crumble and a brownie. The atmosphere is very cozy with a fireplace, and the waitresses were very attentive. If we return to Dublin, we will definitely go back.

11/04/2026: Recommended by the staff at the Abbey Hotel up the road, the Harbour Restaurant did not disappoint. Exceptional Seafood Chowder and Fish and chips. For the quality of food, and we had a couple glasses of wine, we couldn’t believe how affordable it was!

08/04/2026: This has happened twice so we won’t be returning, we booked a table the week before so well in advance, were told after arriving the table wouldn’t be ready on time so just wait or go elsewhere for a drink and come back in 20 mins or so, the waitress took my number and said she would call us when our table was ready, we waited a full 20 mins in a bar across the road and just headed back as we were really hungry at this stage, waited another 10 mins once we wee back inside the restaurant, once seated the order was taken quickly, food arrived in good time, my steak was cold, got about 3 baby mushrooms and 5 bits of onion, chips were ok, my fiancés stir fry was fine he said, no apologies given by staff and we left pretty sharply after eating, like I said this is the 2nd time the harbour have done this to us. It will be the last time we book there.

09/12/2025: Order two large pizzas as part of a deal got one large pizza with half and half..one side was fine came as ordered the other side was theyre texas bbq pizza and wasnt edible..whoever made it had put a bucket load of bbq sauce on the pizza also with very little cheese and the same for the other large pizza which was a create your own pizza again a mountain of bbq sauce and little cheese even though i ordered double cheese on it This is not the first time over the last few months in which we have had problems with food we have ordered and are bitterly dissapointed

04/12/2025: Order processing is super friendly and easy, our pizza was handed over on time with awesome taste …. Highly efficient and friendly staff Must visit spot

15/04/2026: If you’re in Carlow, Mullichain Cafe is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the staff make you feel genuinely welcome—so friendly, approachable, and attentive without being over the top. The food is fantastic, with a real emphasis on quality and flavour, and everything we had was fresh and beautifully presented. The café is spotless, with a lovely, relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy your time there. What really sets it apart, though, is the sense of place—it feels uniquely Irish in the best possible way, from the warmth of the service to the charm of the space. You can tell a lot of care has gone into every detail. A standout spot in Carlow—highly recommend and will definitely be back.

09/04/2026: Beautiful spot along the river Barrow with excellent coffee. The owner didn’t hesitate to help us organise a lift at short notice when our uber canceled last minute. A huge thank you to ‘flying Mike’ who got us to Bagenalstown in a heartbeat and saved our day. We will be forever grateful.

01/12/2025: The staff were very polite and helpful. The starter was quite good, and the beef dumpling was very tasty, although the bottom wasn’t crispy. The prawn toast and its sauce were excellent. The pork noodle soup was hot, delicious, and a large portion. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy my own dish. The lotus roots weren’t for me,there was a strange perfume-like aroma coming from the food. I’d like to come back again to try the noodle soup or dumpling .

01/12/2025: Better value elsewhere. I ordered the Char siu pork and was surprised to see that rice was not included. For a €25 dish it’s disappointing having to pay another €4.50 just for a small bowl of rice. Any other restaurant I’ve been to has included rice as standard with a main dish like that. The portion size of pork was good, but my food was barely warm when I received it. Disappointed

27/09/2025: Wonderful cocktails, great music and ambience, and I cannot say enough good things about the people that work here. I celebrated my 30th birthday AND engagement here, and my fiancée and I were shown such incredible hospitality by everyone we interacted with. I wish I could remember our bartender’s name, he truly made the night special. It’s been a month since we returned from Ireland, and our night at Paladar is one of our favorite memories from the whole trip. Highly recommend spending your time and money here!

20/09/2025: The atmosphere was good but was pressurized to finish the dinner for the next customer. I understand the time limit on the table but since we sat down we were reminded on several occasions the time limit which made us feel unwelcome.

21/04/2026: Bistro bar in heart of waterford city, grest food menu and wide range of beverages. Friendly staff.

21/04/2026: Waited over half an hour for my food. The place wasn't that busy. Then they brought me out the wrong food. Eventually I got my food after another few minutes

06/11/2025: My first visit today and will definitely be back next time I’m in town. Gorgeous food, coffee and generally lovely vibes! They have a couple of vegan options too that included the best mushroom soup I’ve ever had :)

03/11/2025: Great quality, organic , delicious coffee and bread .......warm and cozy ambient!!

20/01/2026: Staffs are rude and impolite!!!

18/01/2026: Expensive, good selection but a bit bland.

21/12/2025: Great food and great staff! Always a busy but happy atmosphere! Can't beat the quality of their breakfast rolls, for taste or price! Would always reccomend

20/12/2025: This was our first visit to The Hungry Monkey for breakfast, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The café itself is quite small, with tables placed very close together, and it was extremely busy due to nearby offices. We were shown to a table by a staff member and ordered two breakfasts and two coffees. The coffees arrived quickly, but our food took almost 30 minutes. Meanwhile, customers seated around us were served, finished, and left, while our order still hadn’t arrived. What made the situation worse was the way it was handled. A woman who appeared to be the owner or manager approached us, initially apologising for the wait. We politely said it was fine. However, she then explained that she needed our table because other customers had reservations and repeatedly reminded us that she needed the table back. The delay was clearly not our choice, and it felt as though our order had been overlooked. Being asked multiple times — albeit with a smile — to hurry up or give up the table made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. If reservations were such an issue, we would have understood being told at the door, rather than being seated and then pressured. The food itself was very average and certainly not worth the overall experience. Unfortunately, the service and attitude overshadowed everything else. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it.
