04/04/2026: A lovely hotel right in the heart of Waterford city. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

19/06/2026: Beautiful atmosphere, lovely food and great service 😀

17/05/2026: Irish breakfasts put American breakfasts to shame. The full Irish was best breakfast I ever had. There were plenty of locals there that gave it a great hometown vibe.

30/03/2026: This is a very unique venue for a wedding, the grounds are beautiful. A venue with character.

02/03/2026: We could not have been happier with our wedding at Rathsallagh House 😊 We live in Australia and only saw the venue in person for the first time on our wedding day - but from the start, the communication was super clear and Megan was so friendly that we always felt at ease. We genuinely trusted them to make our special day perfect, and they truly did. The house itself is spectacular. Driving up the avenue, we felt incredibly lucky to be getting married there. We had 70 guests at our wedding which was in the drawing room. We loved the cosy, warm, Christmas atmosphere. What we loved most, though, was the staff. We felt so special and so well looked after all day. Tara was our wedding coordinator on the day and made sure everything ran smoothly. She was supportive, warm and professional — exactly what you hope for on your wedding day. We had the glam room that morning, which was the perfect way to start the day. The room is beautiful and the food was lovely. Our guests are still talking about the two lads behind the bar — they were fantastic all night. The day after the wedding, Nikki kindly and enthusiastically took us on a tour of the house so we could see all the rooms. Our bridal room was amazing — we loved the bath, and enjoying a nice coffee brought to our room. We honestly can’t wait to return and wish we could do it all over again.

11/07/2026: The food was ok and the staff were nice and friendly.

21/06/2026: Excellent fish of the day (haddock) and chips with tea. Good for ceoliacs too as gluten free version excellent too. Great service

06/07/2026: We had lunch here last Friday July 3rd. From the moment we came in the door we were met with top class service. The lady that was in charge epitomised all that's great about Irish hospitality. The food was top quality I had lemon sole with mash and veg all piping hot. My wife had monkfish scampi with chips and salad, again top quality. Unfortunately we were rushing to an appointment so we had to forego desserts amongst the selection was my favourite apple crumble. I highly recommend.

02/07/2026: We went there for an early lunch and were served quickly and politely. The food was delicious and arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The atmosphere was cozy. Highly recommended!

28/06/2026: Great food and wonderful atmosphere!

21/05/2026: Staff attentive and lovely, could not fault, but food was average. Nice atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon.

19/07/2026: We arrived for my 40th birthday party for a family meal, from start to finish it was amazing. I would like to thank you for a fantastic meal. Special mention to Mary our host, 👌 the lovely air conditioned loft restaurant was perfect on a hot day. The food was exceptional. Could not fault it at all. Really impressed

17/07/2026: Wonderful experience beautiful food great staff.

23/07/2026: Great, authentic atmosphere. Fair prices.

12/07/2026: We first picked it because it was near our hotel, but it quickly became our favorite hangout spot during our vacation. A very warm place with locals, away from the crowds and loud noise. Slainté!

07/06/2026: We ordered today the prawn salad and one of the daily’s specials. It was delicious. The service was great (Raphael the head of the waitress recommended us those two dishes). Really great, obliging and friendly service! We can definitely recommend it!! The surrounding was nice and not too loud. Great work gluten-free options (at least 70% of the menu) as well.

07/06/2026: Absolutely beautiful meal, everything was perfectly done and presented very well. The service was impeccable. It was lovely to see such a well-coordinated team, all committed to delivering excellent hospitality. Highly recommend!

05/06/2026: Great Restaurant , Amazing food & Beverages , super friendly people, & comfortable atmosphere 💯

05/07/2026: Many years ago this used to be a pleasant pub with decent food but it's been a while since I've enjoyed an outing here. Food is mediocre at best. The young staff are pleasant but the atmosphere is uncomfortable with music blasting from tinny speakers making it impossible to carry on a conversation without raised voices. Unfortunately that has become normal practice in Dublin restaurants and pubs. It means we eat and leave instead of whiling away a pleasant evening with a few drinks. And then pubs wonder why we prefer to socialize at home with a takeaway!

25/06/2026: I usually try to order as many courses as possible when going to a restaurant for the first time. We ordered: seafood chowder - tasty, but a bit too salty for my taste; housemade chicken liver pâté - not the worst I’ve had, but not the best either. I could easily live without it; hot wings - incredibly sour! Not sure why they added vinegar to them (it might have been lemon juice, but it really tasted like strong vinegar); beef nachos - very tasty, but we didn’t get to finish them and they got soggy by the time we got home with them. I recommend them if you’re into Tex-Mex food; breaded mushrooms - we absolutely loved the mushrooms. We felt sorry we only had 6! They were very crispy and paired perfectly with the sauce, just lacking salt, but that can be easily fixed; chicken strips with fries - loved both the chicken (very crispy on the outside and tender on the inside) and the fries. The fries needed some salt as they don’t come seasoned; sirloin steak - steak is always tasty, but this one had lots of tendons and we kept having to remove them from our mouths (not very pleasant to do in a restaurant, but they didn’t provide any toothpicks); the Buffalo chicken burger - my friend really enjoyed it; and the linguini prawns - such a disappointment! Again, very sour, and I’m not sure why the cook added vinegar. As we couldn’t finish everything, I took the linguini prawns home and added some prawns and mussels, sweet curry, garlic, and nacho cheese cream, and they turned out quite nicely. I ordered lemonade and received some sort of Sprite in a glass. I didn’t like it, but I wasn’t aware they weren’t serving homemade lemonade. My friends ordered a Guinness and a Sprite. The total bill was around €190, which doesn’t seem much considering all the food we ordered, but it’s quite expensive considering we actually enjoyed only half of it. We wanted to order dessert, but it was quite busy and we gave up, so no review for the dessert. I would say we’ll leave it for next time, but I wouldn’t go back. The staff are nice and seem quite knowledgeable. They are doing a great job, and the place is buzzing and quite pleasant, but we weren’t impressed with the food, which is the main reason we went there in the first place: to enjoy a good dinner. Thank you to both the chef and the staff; we had a pleasant evening overall. Taste is something very personal, and some people might completely disagree with my opinion, so you can give it a try yourself. I admit that my taste buds are a bit pretentious...

11/06/2026: The food and service are extremely good

02/06/2026: we had a lovely carvey lunch here yesterday -- lots of choice 17.50 each -- big portions

01/08/2026: Amazing staff, good vibes and good food. Has everything you need.

23/07/2026: We waited almost 45 minutes for some pretty basic orders. The food was decent but service was below average.
