Lighthouse Bar Restaurant - Waterford

Last night, the Dunmore East RNLI Fundraising Committee held our Christmas night at this restaurant. The food was beyond fantastic - the presentation, quality, and service were all amazing. Joe and his staff went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you're looking for delicious food in a beautiful setting with great views, this is the place for you. Thank you to everyone at the Lighthouse for a wonderful evening.

Today was our first visit to this restaurant and we will definitely return. The food was excellent, the scenery was breathtaking, and the staff were lovely. I would definitely recommend this place. It's a hidden gem in Dunmore East.

I dined at this restaurant last night and the food was outstanding. The staff were attentive and welcoming. The view from the restaurant is breathtaking and the bar makes the most of it. They offer a small but excellent selection of cocktails. We tried the passion fruit martini which was delightful. Additionally, there is a café that opens at 11pm serving pastries, tea, and coffee.

On a recent visit I was disappointed with my meal here. The fish was tasteless presentation was only ok. Staff were very reserved, generally not interested in their customers

To all staycationers like us be ware !!! we arrived at the Lighthouse Bar and restaurant on a fabulous clear blue sky sunny day and asked to sit outside. We were handed a menu and proceeded to sit outside. The views were spectacular we ordered our meal (from what we thought was a limited menu due to Covid and were advised we had to pay upfront) 40 minutes later while still waiting for our food the wind started to pick up so we asked to move inside which we were advised that was ok. (There were only two other tables occupied inside) ten minutes later while sitting at our table inside our food arrived into polystyrene boxes and cardboard boxes. When we asked where were our plates and cutlery we were told that as we were originally sitting outside that was deemed as a takeaway menu and therefore cheaper and a separate menu. We were quite surprised by this and told the waitress that we should have been told about the two different menus when we asked to sit outside. She was totally indifferent but the three locals sitting at the next table seemed to think our situation was quite hilarious. Our food was absolutely disgusting the chips and chicken dippers we ordered were so greasy and so obviously frozen we couldn’t even eat them. We had paid upfront as requested so we didn’t even have the pleasure of refusing to pay. My advice to staycationers is to give this Restaurant a wide birth. You can enjoy the views without entering this establishment.
