The Reg
Waterford
11/05/2026: We were there at lunchtime with four people.
The calamari were really bad; they were far too undercooked, limp, and mushy. The potato skin was undercooked and unseasoned. The two salads were good; the brie salad had fried cheese balls.
The server was friendly and offered replacements.
10/05/2026: All the food is good And I actually enjoy it you have to come to this restaurant And The food was amazing is better than any restaurant in Waterford..

Saratoga
23/04/2026: Isobel, with hands so skilled and bright,
Crafts pints that sparkle in the light.
A swirl of froth, a golden hue,
Each sip a joy, both fresh and true.
Her laughter bubbles, warm and sweet,
In every glass, a perfect treat.
From Passage East to far and near,
Her scrumptious pints bring friends good cheer.
07/04/2026: Lovely food. Nice atmosphere! Highly recommend. Great for a nice long walk along the beach and then pop in for a bite and a pint!

Hanoras Cottage
10/05/2026: Had a lovely stay at Hannoras Cottage. The views are absolutely beautiful, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the food was fabulous. Such a warm, relaxing place to stay — would definitely recommend.
04/05/2026: This was our 2nd stay at Hanora's cottage and safe to say we will be back! The staff are all so welcoming, helpful & friendly. The food is lovely with good choices. The rooms are nicely decorated, the yellow in our room really caught the evening light & the room glowed.
Situated in a really picturesque area, it is the perfect getaway to switch off & relax. Not a great phone signal in the area, perfect to switch off, but be aware, have some back up, if you're using the phone for navigation.
Suitable for serious walkers/ hikers or those who just want to explore the marked trails in the area. After a day out it is lovely to come back to a Jacuzzi to relax the muscles & a good meal.

The Cove
Waterford
22/04/2026: The best Sunday roast in town now that the greenway manor is closed. Portions are great and its got a varied menu.
10/04/2026: I was never served with such bad attitude by a waitress. I duno her name but she had dark hair and threw menus at us and looked annoyed thar she was taking our order. I could hear her cursing and givin out and she didn’t check if we were ok. I wish someone else served us. Very unprofessional. What a pity because the food was really tasty and the portion size was great. Disappointing service that will stop people going to the cove.

Tannery
Dungarvan
10/05/2026: Top quality service from the minute we arrived. We were walked to our comfortable room, treated to an excellent quality dinner with a good quality wine list and had a comfortable night's sleep. Breakfast was much higher quality than we were expecting the next day. Maura is a star and made it such a pleasure to stay. Thanks for a lovely evening!
10/05/2026: We wanted to get to the Tannery before it closed at the end of this year. It didn't disappoint. Máire gave us a loveky welcome. The room was very comfortable. Dinner was really tasty. Great local ingredients, thoughtfully presented. We had an especially lovely glass of champagne as we were celebrating. The breakfast the next morning was especially delicious. Just sorry that we were too full to have the lemon drizzle cake we were tempted with for breakfast dessert. Definitely worth a trip. Look forward to seeing what they do next.

O'Donnacha's
Kilmeaden
26/04/2026: I’m always on the lookout for places that deliver both quality and consistency—and this spot definitely stands out.
The garlic bread is a must-try: perfectly crisp on the outside, generously topped, and packed with flavour. The real highlight, though, was the beef. While it may appear slightly dry at first glance, don’t let that fool you—it’s incredibly tender, juicy, and rich in flavour. Easily one of those dishes that exceeds expectations with the first bite.
Overall, a very satisfying and comforting dining experience. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.
12/03/2026: Food for 3. Prawn pasta was bland and overpriced. The chicken curry has minimal chicken. The beef and Guinness pie was good. Way overpriced.
Wouldn't return.

AndChips
Dungarvan
28/03/2026: For years it was best fish and chips. I always think about this as reward after trip. Today it was so under average… fish was super greasy and burger was one of the worst I ever eaten… would prefer McDonald cheese burger… Not sure if staff changed, bad day or some cost cutting but definitely not worth visit. Will give it one more try in few months to check if it’s back to glory but doubt it…
01/02/2026: Fantastic experience. Lovely staff and fresh tasty food. I would highly recommend it to anyone

Thank you once again to all the team!
