Momo
Waterford
04/05/2026: Superb in every regard. The rack of lamb was perfection and the gravy was lush. Atmosphere was comfortable with a quiet buzz, no loud music or obnoxious patrons. Kind of gave a New England vibe. Wait staff was awesome and it was great talking to them after the meal as well.
Genuinely couldn't recommend it more, just make sure you book reservations early.
02/05/2026: We were absolutely blown away by the food, staff and atmosphere at Momos. It’s was easily the best meal we’ve had and are still thinking about it the next day.
We loved the good quality local ingredients which contributed to the incredible flavours. Everything was cooked beautifully and every detail in the restaurant was perfect.
The staff were super attentive and very friendly. Also special thank you to Camile for giving us some great recommendations for around the city! Can’t recommend enough!

The Gingerman
Waterford
21/05/2026: Beautiful pub tucked away off the street with a nice relaxed atmostphere and comfy seating. Had a delicious dinner, food cooked to perfection in lovely portions at a reasonable price, and a nice selection of drinks. Very pleasant manager and a really lovely young barman who was very kind to us when we didn't realise the closing time and stayed a tad late, a credit to himself and the pub - we hope to be back, but in a more time aware manner next time!
17/05/2026: Had a craic of a time at the Gingerman. We stopped for a local Irish fare at a pub and we are so glad we did. The place is so amazing, the staff was awesome. Be aware the portions are large lol

27/04/2026: Absolutely superb. If you are in Waterford don’t miss this very special spot. You won’t be disappointed.
16/04/2026: We had a fantastic experience at Everett’s. We chose it for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint.
The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, which made the evening feel really special without being overly formal. The food was excellent - well balanced, full of flavour and clearly made with care. Every dish felt thought through and enjoyable.
Service was attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. It made the whole experience even more comfortable.
Overall, a great place for a special occasion. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

Dooley's Hotel
Waterford
19/05/2026: Luggage service was provided at check-in and check-out.
Changing rooms was no problem, as we were unable to use the stairs due to mobility issues.
Breakfast was excellent and the service throughout was superb.
Best regards, Beate and Marie
18/05/2026: Stayed here with my parents to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. The team couldn't do enough for them, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Ross carried all their luggage from the car to their room - both parents have walking sticks. Leanne was also a smiling helpful lady. Karen our waitress had such a lovely way with her and kept the one liners coming which charmed my parents. They love the banter! The rooms were fantastic, comfortable, well appointed and recently refurbished. The supervisor at breakfast was excellent too, we didn't catch his name but he was another real asset. We caught him about to head out to the car with my parents luggage in the rain, just stopped him in time - we had coats he didn't!
This has got to be the friendliest hotel in ireland! Well done everyone, you aced the customer journey 👏🏻

Brasserie
Waterford
02/01/2026: Overall, the food was not great. Most dishes came out, colder incorrect, and had to be remain. The oysters were the only thing that was worthwhile. Other than that you have an inexperienced kitchen and a wait staff, too worried about their tip and not about the customers experience.
28/12/2025: We really enjoyed it. The view was spectacular, the staff were very friendly, and the food was amazing.

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.
