    Incredible beet and goat cheese salad - not on the menu?
    Brien M.

    We walked past this restaurant between the train station and our nearby b&b so we knew it was open (off-season, February). It was a dark, rainy night and we hadn't yet explored Cobh. So we headed back. In general our mains were fine - not special but good and one was modified with gluten free bread. The star of the night was a supposed starter. We asked for a gluten free version of a "fried goat cheese" dish. We don't know what it was supposed to be, but we received a very large beet and goat cheese salad with a delicious and delicate dressing on a bed of very fresh baby spinach and beet greens. Incredible. I gave a point for atmosphere. We sat at a window wall overlooking the harbor and there was a fireplace. Despite the gloomy night it wasn't lit but it could add to the ambiance. The hotel lobby did have a lit fireplace. The location is next to the cruise ship landing. I imagine that in-season it's too busy. We had a quiet and relaxing dinner, though.

    Food was amazing, I had the Hake and really enjoyed it, the service was good, and its a beautiful location on the water.

    Lovely view though

    If you're look for a beautiful view to sit outside and have 1 drink. 1. Only 1, then this is the place. They won't come back to check on you. Plan accordingly In my opinion- eat elsewhere. I love fish and chips and have eaten them in a few countries. We ordered them here. My husband was too hungry to not eat it but hated it. I ate the chips which were good, and only could manage 2 bites of the fish. After no one coming to check on us, offer another round or bring a check we finally went in and waited up front for someone to get us a check. No ambiance inside. I was very very not impressed and underwhelmed.

    Some of the best seafood chowder I've tasted!

    Great staff and great food. Overlooking Cobh harbor. We're staying at the Waters Edge Hotel, which is attached. Will definitely be back!

    Steamed Irish Mussels

    My son and I had a lovely dinner here while visiting Cobh. Great service and gorgeous views! My son had the Cobh Fisherman Seafood Chowder and the Fresh Fish Cake. Our server suggested that I try the Steamed Irish Mussels dinner, a very generous and delicious meal, which my son had to help me finish! We would defijiggo back!

    Bbq chicken with salad instead of potatoes
    Nazy J.

    Food is spot on ...... The lamb falls off your spoon .... It's thattttt good..... The steak and steak sandwich were one of the best we have had in Ireland, the curry was alright but it tasted good. The bbq chicken was very tasty and juicy I just wish they didn't have skin on it because the skin wasn't crispy it was mooshy, their fries is very good but a couple of their fish dishes were flavorless.... Breakfast is okay as well but nothing special ..... Service is great

    Fish and Chip, good
    Nora M.

    Good food for the area. I tried their lamb shank, absolutely good, and their fish and chips, which is good.

    Their vegetable soup was probably the best soup I've ever had. I need to find a way to replicate it. So very delicious. My ribeye and chips were perfectly cooked, I love a proper juicy steak! The feta salad was also delightful. Lovely service as well.

    See all

    I checked into WatersEdge hotel and as its the beginning of winter season, decided to dine at the hotel since most of the town seemed closed.
