360 Cookhouse
Dungarvan
11/05/2025: We had dinner after seeing the reviews. Overall a good experience pleasant staff, good service and nice food. Despite the place being busy with first holy communion party’s they managed quite well. One small thing to point out was how the Hereford steak was served presentation was poor everything seemed to be just piled on the plate. But the meat was cooked perfectly as ordered so only a small observation.
06/05/2025: We had a fabulous experience at this restaurant a few days ago. (May 2025) My husband and I were looking for a dog-friendly place to have lunch and I had read some positive reviews ahead of time. We had no reservation but had no problem getting a table and we received the warmest of welcomes with our golden retriever. I assumed that we would be sitting outside but we were shown to a gorgeous covered outdoor area through the restaurant. It was really comfortable and warm with a great atmosphere. The staff were exceptional and very attentive and provided us with a water bowl for the dog straight away. We ordered some tapas items from the menu- calamari, chicken wings, pork belly taco and patatas bravas which were all delicious. I felt it was reasonably priced for the quality of the food and I would definitely recommend 360 cookhouse without hesitation. The thing we were most impressed by was how dog friendly it was as often you will see on a restaurant website that it is when really you have to sit outside with little shelter so this place was a real gem in that sense. Will be back again.

The Old Couch Café
Waterford
21/05/2025: Simply the best food experience in Waterford. Impeccable food and service.
19/05/2025: I genuinely regret leaving a negative review, especially as I had high hopes for this restaurant. I was excited to see what it would bring as a continuation of the much-loved Old Couch Café. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations.
First, I think it's important to point out something I find deeply unfair and misleading: the restaurant is using the same Instagram page and Google rating as its predecessor. This creates the impression that you're booking a table at a well-reviewed, established spot, when in reality, it's a completely different operation with very different standards. Frankly, it feels deceptive.
The atmosphere was passable, but the character of the space seemed stripped away—literally. The walls were bare, and overall, the venue lacked warmth or personality. The lighting was extremely low, and unlike other tables, ours didn’t even have a suspension light. Not a deal-breaker, but definitely noticeable.
From the start, the mise en place was inconsistent. We were three guests, yet each place setting was different. The wine list lacked any mention of harvesting years, which made it hard to justify the premium pricing. I ordered a rosé and had to request an ice bucket—it wasn’t offered. Bread and butter were brought to the table, but no bread plates were provided, which felt like a basic oversight.
Service was, unfortunately, not great either. It felt rushed and inattentive. That said, I do want to acknowledge our server—a very young, kind woman who was clearly doing her best while working the entire floor alone. I don’t blame her at all. This was clearly a management failure, likely due to lack of proper training and staffing.
I could have overlooked some of these issues if the food had been great. Sadly, it wasn’t. The "bread" offering was four dense, muffin-like lumps, supposedly Guinness bread—unpleasant and poorly executed. We ordered from a la carte menu, three different starters, mains, and desserts, and only one dish out of nine was actually good. The rest lacked seasoning and flavor.
Particularly disappointing were the melloso rice, which was undercooked to the point of being raw (not al dente—actually raw), and the pork belly, which was so tough it was hard to cut, let alone eat. The dessert baklava was rock-hard, almost like a brick, and oddly enough, the accompanying ice cream had a fishy taste—hope not cross-contamination?
We all shared our dishes and agreed: this wasn’t a matter of personal preference—it was objectively poor execution. We gave our feedback and returned most of the dishes barely touched.
When a restaurant markets itself as fine dining and charges accordingly, expectations naturally rise. But this felt more like an overpriced misstep wrapped in a misleading package. I don’t enjoy writing harsh reviews, but transparency and quality matter—and this place missed the mark on both.

Viking Hotel Waterford
Waterford
02/05/2025: The food is amazing I go here for lunch a lot
30/04/2025: Stayed here last night with family, and the rooms were fabulous. We booked a family room and it was absolutely amazing, so much space and very modern. The beds were really comfortable. The staff couldn't have been nicer, very friendly and welcoming. Especially the young lads behind the bar. Breakfast was superb, the staff at breakfast were great with the kids and went out of their way for them. The dinner in the restaurant was gorgeous and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for families. Very pleased with our stay 😊

Phil Grimes
Waterford
31/03/2025: Great Staff, Great Pub, Great Venue 👌
03/02/2025: Definitely the cosiest and friendliest pub in Waterford - the little snug with the fire is beyond compare. Great selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks with superb recommendations from Tom and the bar staff. Gigs upstairs are unreal. Best value glass of wine in a crystal glass ever!

Costa Coffee
Waterford
18/04/2025: Quite expensive. Seating area could be better maintained. The staff is quick and friendly.
09/04/2025: The service is great but the store itself is dirty and dingy, when I went to the upstairs the tables were sticky, the downstairs is decently clean, they do not staff enough to complete orders and to keep the place clean, the food and drink are far too expensive. For a meal and a drink, you would be expecting to pay 15-25 euro, alongside this the food options are not ranged enough to allow for people with dietary restrictions

Oshea's
Tramore
19/06/2024: We visited this hotel while in Waterford. The staff here are friendly, polite, mannerly and helpful. The bar/restaurant staff particularly is what stands out. If I was to be critical I would say I preferred the old food menu, the fish and chips is not the same as it once was. Lovely spot to visit.
24/04/2024: Lovey food and ambiance. Great staff. Was so nice to wind down and enjoy a meal after browsing around boutiques in Waterford all morning. Had the roast beef and it was as nice as the frock I bought earlier. Treat yourself and enjoy a nice meal by the sea.
