Brasserie
Waterford
29/10/2026: During our trip to Ireland, we had to make a stop at the Guinness Factory. We also wanted to try traditional beef stew and were pleasantly surprised to find it here. We were greeted and seated promptly, which is always a good start. The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance with a mix of industrial and modern decor. We were sat by the window and had a nice view of Dublin.
As a group, we shared a Chicken Caesar Salad, Guinness Beef Stew, soda bread, and fries. The Beef stew was delicious. The beef was tender, the mashed potatoes were creamy, and all of the flavors complemented each other. The Caesar salad was also very tasty. The dressing was creamy, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the additional ingredients were flavorful and crunchy. The fries were also tasty and crispy. We enjoyed every bit of our food. We had good attentive service with a very relaxed ambiance.
Overall, we all had an equally enjoyable visit at 1837 Bar & Brasserie. The restaurant was vibey, the service was great, the food was delicious, and it had a nice view. I would definitely stop here again and highly recommend it.
19/10/2026: Would really recommend the caesar salad and of course a glass of Guinness. Nice view.

Everett's
Waterford
08/09/2026: The most equisite meal we have ever had. Everything perfection. Still in awe at the standard. We were celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary and this was literally the perfect meal. Make it your mission to dine here.
05/09/2026: We went to celebrate a special occasion and the restaurant did not disappoint in any way! As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with sourdough and brown grain bread; they had a set menu that I highly recommend! Let's start with the starters: we chose the croquette with tomatoes (veg), I can't put it into words, creamy, flavorful, and comforting, wonderful 10/10. For the main course, we ordered the beef, which came at exactly the temperature we chose, and my husband was very happy with his choice. I asked for the vegetarian option, which wasn't on the menu; I asked the waiter, and that night we were served spinach tortellini with zucchini and shallots – an incredible mix of flavors! For dessert, I ordered a raspberry soufflé with pistachio ice cream, and my husband went for chocolate mousse. I think it's important to mention that the portions aren't absurdly large, but they are very filling! We ordered carrot sides, which are great for sharing. We couldn't finish everything, unfortunately, but it was very good. It was our first time there, and it was amazing. The wine list is very diverse and extremely affordable. I highly recommend going there!

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 👏🏻

05/10/2026: Positively the best bar food available in Waterford. Absolutely delicious, prompt service, fresh as the day is long and served with good cheer and friendly banter especially if you are lucky enough to be served by Lindsey who I am guessing is the manager such is her friendliness and efficiency....she drives it like she owns it!!....if I had a restuarant I'd come for her to take the lead ....i'll be back again soon. Top of the range
