25/05/2025: A warm welcome on arrival. Modern yet very comforting interior design - intimate but not overbearing. Very comfy chairs. An excellent menu full of variety. Charming staff who confidently and quickly took our order. Superbly presented and delicious starters, main course and dessert, all competitively priced and perfect proportions. All rounded off with a surprise brownie and sparkler for my (delighted albeit slightly embarrassed) 21 year old son, whose birthday we were celebrating. Well done management team. You have created a really lovely restaurant wonderfully and perfectly executed by your team in the kitchen and front of house. They are a credit to your vision. A very well deserved five out of five from us.

29/07/2025: Top class bar and restaurant, highly recommended

20/07/2025: The food was average, we waited a long time, the waiter was unable to answer a question about the food. The drink we ordered was not brought to us even after 30 minutes of waiting. We do not recommend.

31/05/2025: We went into this restaurant and asked for Thai food we were given a menu and sat down and ordered a drink and a meal . When we were given the bill for the food at was almost twice the price as the menu. When we challenged it they said they thought we were having a takeaway Did they really expect me to take my pint of beer away to drink that. It was very obvious that we were eating in and the food was served on a ceramic plate with cutlery so why did they expect us to also take it all away.

17/07/2025: I have to say the food was most excellent. The staff where very knowledgeable on the menu. The recommendations where spot on.

14/06/2025: I’m not lying when I say this I get an Indian every Friday here and whenever I can I try to bring people here this is my favourite restaurant in possibly the whole of Ireland I hope it never moves away or I’ll be so sad ❤️❤️

26/07/2025: Very, very good food. Owners are very friendly and courteous with fast preparation times and decent portions. Parking is ok too with spaces always nearby. I would thoroughly recommend their food. They also provide a delivery service if needed. Family ran so there is an emphasis on satisfaction and good reviews which are well deserved.

26/07/2025: Everything is so good i recommend this place so much to everyone!

08/03/2025: Lovely place to watch the rugby. Roaring fire and dog friendly too

08/12/2024: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ i can’t recommend The Blackwater in Kells enough! Not only is the food and atmosphere top-notch, but the staff go above and beyond. Trish, in particular, was incredible—so kind, caring, and thoughtful. She even went out of her way to drop us home, which was beyond generous. It’s rare to find such amazing hospitality these days. We’ll definitely be back—thank you, Trish, for making our experience unforgettable!
