12/03/2026: Martha was an absolute delight, the food was marvelous & the overall atmosphere was very welcoming

09/03/2026: Unforgettable! We enjoyed a lengthy visit with the current owner. Our Montana connection gifted us with a forever memorable history, flag, and Meagher lesson. It's been a few years, but an memorable, meaningful time!

21/02/2026: I had dinner in this lovely restaurant today and it was such a great experience from start to finish. All of the staff were incredibly helpful, kind, and welcoming, which made us feel comfortable straight away. The food was absolutely amazing!!! I ordered the traditional fish and chips and it completely blew me away! The atmosphere was cosy, and really comforting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. I would 100% recommend this restaurant overall the experience was fantastic and I will definitely be returning soon! 😃

05/02/2026: The best place to go in Waterford, food and atmosphere is always great. “Chicken” is a great host. Steak is always cooked just right and great portion sizes. Highly recommend

23/02/2026: Omg this place is absolutely beautiful. I went for my 50th birthday and it was fabulous. I had wings and the burger. The wine was fabulous and we had a cocktail after. My hubbie had the croquettes and burger which he loved so did my son. My other fussy son had spag bol. He licked the plate clean. We were served by the lovely Rinelle (hope I got the spelling right) she was an absolutely fabulous lady and brilliant at her job. They brought me out ice cream and sang happy birthday to me. 10 out of 10 this place is. Highly recommended. Thank you Rinelle for making my birthday so fantastic

27/03/2026: What a lovely place, great atmosphere, everyone is enjoying themselves and the delicious food.

22/03/2026: We had a family gathering for Trish's "significant" birthday last Friday. What a brilliant night! The setting, the atmosphere, the service, the food...all top class. We had three children with us (ages 5 & 7) and Kamila made a special fuss over them making them feel very much at home and generating a very happy atmosphere around the table. A visit to this fabulous restaurant is always a treat but Friday night was extra special. Míle buíochas mór from all the Kavanaghs!

21/03/2026: This is honestly the best service I’ve seen in Ireland in my 20 years working in gastronomy. The two ladies working here are incredible — they’re worth a million to this bar, and they’re what truly make it special. First of all, they’re beautiful, professional, and incredibly well-organized. Together, they complement every aspect of this place perfectly. Everyone here feels happy and well taken care of. The highest respect for the service here — and of course, the food is top-level too, from traditional Irish dishes to a mix of international cuisine. Personally, this is my favorite bar so far.

15/03/2026: It was very busy, but despite this we were seated in a few minutes, served quickly and checked in on regularly! The food was fabulous, it's a lovely pub too!

02/04/2026: Nicest meal I've had in a long time. Had pasta and pizza. Excellent service.

01/04/2026: Sorry but tonight I bought first time pizza and I give 3 star, because pizza wasnt tasty and it was over fried

22/02/2026: On of my favourites place in Dungarvan! Really enjoy the food and atmosphere at The Local😍

21/02/2026: This pub had a fantastic atmosphere! The live band was so talented and so much fun. It truly was an incredible atmosphere!

26/12/2025: Great short cut to wexford or waterford, takes hour off your journey and only takes less than 5 mins for the crossing..

05/11/2025: Fast, friendly and beautiful trip. Gotten rather pricey over the last couple of years.

16/03/2026: This Hotel is absolutely fabulous.

14/03/2026: Had a wonderful wine and dine night awaywith friends in Faithlegg Hotel. The place is a feast for the senses in decor, atmosphere and seems to wrap you in a cashmere shrug of warmth, quality and easy friendliness. Little discreet quality touches are everywhere. Its a place that makes you feel endulged and want to linger. Pierce and Jack look after your dining experience a wonderful charmingly quienticential manner that is as delightful as the food. Ì would highly recommend it as a quality destination. I would even consider coming back on my own to stay and enjoy the Faithlegg hotel experience again.

23/03/2026: Beautiful tapas and the staff were all lovely and very efficient

12/03/2026: Delightful. Decent value for money, very nice place to sit, eat and talk and the staff were excellent. Shout out to Erin who was attentive but not intrusive, quick but not rushed. Everything you would want from a nice pleasant meal out.

18/03/2026: Food, staff & service was fantastic.

16/03/2026: Great spot for a food and drink. We will definitely come back when in Tramore
