28/02/2026: Best place for play-offs! I really enjoyed the food there! The rooms were perfect! Definetly going back there someday

26/02/2026: Had a post funeral meal at the Viking. Albeit unfortunate circumstances a young man by the name of John Paul lightened the mood and showed kindess, empathy, unparalleled professionalism and great care towards the entire group. Put a rare smile on a few faces and was an absolute pleasure to have him serve us👍🏼

15/03/2026: Always a lovely experience. Friendliest staff, food is fresh and delicious! Highly recommend.

23/02/2026: Great experience. Friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

26/03/2026: A standout vegan dining experience at Everett's. We reserved a 3-course vegan menu a day in advance and were impressed by how smoothly everything was handled—from prompt email confirmation to accommodating our request for a high chair and space for a stroller in a cozy setting. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Drinks arrived quickly (the Irish Old Fashioned is excellent), and every vegan dish was thoughtful, creative, and clearly made with care—far from the uninspired options vegans often encounter. What really stood out was the effort to include vegan guests in a true fine-dining experience. It felt considerate on a human level, not just a menu checkbox. If you’re vegan and comfortable dining at an omnivore restaurant, this is absolutely worth going out of your way for.

15/03/2026: Food was great, service generally great and staff very polite but used side plates were left blocking up the table and water wasn’t refilled without asking /coats weren’t taken etc.. small things that didn’t detract from a great meal overall. Could do with turning up the heating a little!

12/12/2025: Perfect Place for Morning Coffee Had heard a lot about this place. Almost every one of my colleagues who come in from Tramore & Waterford City had mentioned Seagull, Tramore I believe their service, taste and ambiance is much better than their reputation

19/11/2025: Food is always amazing. The mochas are alright but overall the staff are always very friendly.

05/04/2026: The room was perfect, and the pool and massage area were very nice. The staff provided excellent service and were very attentive. However, the food left a lot to be desired — it was quite bland and lacked flavor. It seems like there is more focus on adding exotic elements to the dishes rather than ensuring they actually taste good. Overall, I don’t feel that the food quality matches the price.

04/04/2026: Incredible experience from start to finish. Two days of pure indulgence. Setting is stunning, staff are so lovely and the food is delicious. Can't wait to return

07/04/2026: Went there yesterday after a long day 2 of us ordered fish and chips the other got a Caesar salad the fish and chips batter wasn’t crispy and there was a lot of liquid under the fish and chips. Stick toffee pudding had barley any sauce had to ask for more mini egg waffle wasn’t warm and bread and butter pudding could’ve been warmer on the journey home I got sick and when we got home my son got sick and feeling nauseas

31/03/2026: One of the best spots in Waterford

20/08/2025: Great coffee always served with a smile

13/07/2025: lovely cafe on seafront with plenty of outdoor seating

18/01/2026: They asked me if I wanted dessert, I said yes, but nobody came back for 45 minutes, so I finally left.

16/01/2026: Brilliant all round great food great staff great food

08/04/2026: Adam is the best barman in Waterford and seriously needs a raise

17/03/2026: A lovely pub with a very large selection of Irish whiskey. The landlord is also very knowledgeable about whiskey and has a particularly wide selection of Waterford whiskeys.
