The penne pasta was solid, and the sauce with olives and onions was a new (and interesting) combination that added a different twist. The main challenge was communication. The wait staff didn't speak much English, which made ordering and asking questions a bit difficult. The food itself made it worth the visit.

The tomahawk steak was delicious (one of best I have had) & pepper sauce decent. Croquettes average (not getting again), chips (average) but surprising star was the green side salad!!

The location is pretty far from Cork center, which makes it hard to reach without a car, but Uber does serve that area with a bit of a wait.

The Roasted chicken was also a spectacular dish with the veggies on the side. My waiter was Ava and she was very blinded with my cousins birthday, Victoria where everything was handled very nicely and we had a great time. Lastly the dessert is the Vanilla bread with butter pudding very nice and smooth to finish it off,my favorite out of all dishes I had here! The ambiance was just in general amazing to have, modern style pls e to have also a look of the Blackwood Castle, recommend this place e fro sure if you want a view of the Lee River and epic food here too!

One falafel cost 0.50 euros! I probably should have waited before popping the entire piece in my mouth but eh. I couldn't resist. The outside was so crisp and the inside was so soft. It wasn't dry and I'm honestly not sure about the taste because it was so hot and nearly burned my mouth. The staff were so nice! Tip - if you want something off the menu, ask! Each time I asked for something else they offered it!

I wasn't in awe of the hummus on the falafel but still the greens that were used were very good. Forgot to get sauce on the falafel which probably detracted from the eating experience.

Falafel sometimes.

I had the Irish steak & she had the hake. Both were excellent! For dessert the creme brûlée was great, as was the "exotic financier" (a coconut sponge cake). The atmosphere is cozy & romantic. Only complaint was the service was a bit slow, but we ate late and have American ideas in a European place. Highly recommended if you want a great meal in Waterford!

Considering this is often regarded as one of, if not the best, fine dining restaurant in Waterford,…read moreI found the food to be pretty mediocre and underwhelming. I ordered the "Early bird" three course menu for ~29€ which I hope would not affect their usual quality. I started with a creme broulee of crab, intrigued by the fact a creme broulee could be served as a savory starter. It was fine, pretty standard fare but really nothing distinctive. For the main course, I had the steak (which was 4€ extra) and that was honestly pretty disappointing. It came in what I can only describe as gravy. The slab of meat, while cooked to a medium-rare as I requested, was soggy and over-tenderized and when drenched in that sauce just all went down like a heavy soup. Taste was fine but there was just too much gravy-sauce! My friend had the chicken and she wasn't impressed either. In a turn of redemption, we reluctantly ordered dessert after probably being way too full and it turned out to be the best course. The sablé was fluffy, light, and just delightful when paired with a scoop of sorbet (it was to come with vanilla but we are partial to a more tart flavor profile so we asked them to give us sorbet instead). Very nicely presented and the acidity helped us round out the meal. Overall, I found food to be pretty mediocre and the service to be acceptable...(they asked us if we were ready to order probably about 5 times despite the fact that we had our menus open and was obviously reading it but otherwise it was fine). I'll just also add that I am a visitor to this lovely town so perhaps I am not attuned to the Waterford palette but I was personally not impressed.
