The best restaurantsof irish in Tramore

16/04/2025: An amazing gem of a restaurant, with a fantastic view of the sea! Great menu & beautiful food. Fish very fresh. Dessert was homemade & delicious Staff were very friendly and helpful Would highly recommend this restaurant

01/12/2024: Visited here twice in a few days a sir was so good and one of the only restaurants open in tramore in November midweek. Open from Tuesday at this time. Great food. Delightful staff and lovely wine list.

30/03/2025: Possibly caught on a bad day as this was not how we remembered it from the last time but the staff seemed extremely disorganised. From forgetting to bring out dishes and some being late due to being "dropped" in the kitchen and waiting on another, I thought that this overall brought down the mood as some people were finished their dinner before the last two finally appeared. We were also asked about ordering desserts when the dinners hadn't even been produced yet. The food itself was quite standard but wasn't very enjoyable, many dishes were way too salty or too bland, no in-between. When the prices of a place are that little bit higher we would expect the standard to also be higher, seemed like a waste of a meal. One of the described "prawn pasta" dishes came out with rice and pasta with the creamy sauce in the middle and some randomly dotted tomato sauce dollops, when I inquired I was told that that was the way the chef does this dish, it should really be reflected in the menu as some people can't eat rice. An odd combo really. The only praise I would have for this particular day was that some staff were lovely (just not on the ball), the location is good and the kids dinners were good. The picture shows the rice around the outside untouched and the sauce in the middle. Very disappointed.

30/03/2025: Last time I was here was about 10 years ago, on that occasion I had the nicest cold seafood platter with brown bread and salad. So I must say after returning today for mother's day I was very disappointed with what I ordered. Not only me, we were a party of 8, but a lot of the dishes seemed to be a little off, whether too salty, bland or just a little strange. Servers were lovely but seemed a bit unsure of what was ordered, missing, etc. For starter I ordered seafood chowder (which arrived more than 5 minutes after everyone else) I'm sorry but this was the worst chowder I ever had, more random veg floating around in it than fish... So big chunk of cauliflower, half a baby spud, a couple of ripple cut carrots (frozen carrots I guess) two prawns, a calamari ring, no salmon, no haddock, no mussels, no clams just a cauldron sized bowl of the liquid, served with garlic bread slices, where is the bread roll or Irish brown bread, why garlic bread? For main course I had a seafood pancake, I never had one served this way... In a cassoulet style dish pancake on top covered in melted cheese, I found all the fish that was meant to be in my chowder under the pancake, prawns with tails and all still on... But the sauce tasted exactly the same as the chowder liquid. Lettuce, strawberries, blueberries and salad dressing was the side salad served in a Petri dish? Is it a salad or a science experiment? €10 for chowder, €20 for seafood pancake is a pretentious, especially when it was so wrong and bland. Now for the positives... The kids pasta and ice-cream looked the best out of all the dishes. Well done, they were happy. Barman very nice, servers also very nice but taking a wild guess the kitchen is where the issues lie. Maybe it is time to condense the menu to something more manageable for the kitchen. The menu is huge and then a specials board also, perfect the smaller menu and have some consistency. Please get rid of the terrible egg/fruit side salads in Petri dishes. There is no need for them. 2/8 people were happy with what they got and they were the kids. I hate writing reviews like this but I do hope you take the advice on board and try right the wrongs. Service was a bit hectic with late/dropped dishes, servers asking what was missing, etc. A party of 8 shouldn't be a huge challenge.

20/04/2025: Want to start by saying that I have been to Happy House many times before and always had a great experience with great food. This time my order was wrong. When I rang back to advise I had received the wrong dish, I was told to bring back the dish that was incorrectly given to me. I did so and when I was given the correct item of my order there was no sorry, no free can or anything. To top it off the food was poor and I definitely don't think it's as good as before.

20/01/2025: We had a pre lunch drink in Murph's Bar.After sitting at a fabulous open fire and pre lunch G/T we walked around the corner to the Beach House.The fish was delicious ,Lemon Sole and Haddock served with chips. Our starter was crab which was served with traditional homemade soda bread and salad. I had a chilled glass of Sancerre and our young guest enjoyed a Sicilian Lemonade.Thanks to all we will be back soon.
