Fantastic! My wife & I had a night in Waterford, and heard this was a good spot. Wow, is that…read moreright! We ate on the late side, and both ordered from the "early bird" (prix fixe) menu. 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.

From the outset we could tell that this restaurant was far from "Tapas". Sliders on a menu??? Are you kidding me. We had the Patasas Bravas, it was cold and extremely dry. After we ordered Gambas al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp) and my god what I saw was a sight to behold. Buried beneath were 3 thick, curly, dark hairs. I notified the waiter immediately and she just laughed at me saying she'd bring me another, as if 3 hairs meant nothing, no apology or anything. I took this up with the lady manager when paying and she tried to tell us that they were our own hairs. This place is a sad excuse for a Tapas bar.
