Waterville Restaurants

Such a wonderful experience for the festive season, meeting Santa was wonderful, he was so patient and kind to my daughter who has special needs. Santy got down on the floor to play with her, and I couldn't recommend this place enough. So inclusive, the most attentive staff and excellent food. One of the best family experiences we have had in a long time, top class service.

Fabulous food, great service. Friendly staff, le Gaeilge.

This was not our first time at the Herbert Restaurant but it has been a couple of years and it did not disappoint. We had very high expectations after our last visit and this time was even better, if that's possible. All courses were superb. I have eaten in Michelin star restaurants and this experience was as good if not better than some. I had the rabbit to start and duck for main course, followed by the raspberry and white chocolate dessert. Each course including aperitif were sublime. The duck particularly was beautifully cooked and the best I have ever had. My husband had the scallops and stonefish and was extremely impressed.

Great cooking though I wonder about the virtue of mixing delicious sauces together when sharing plates. A pleasure to be served by trained staff as opposed to students on a part-time job. My only gripe is the ambience of the dining room. Tables a little small and how about something warm like a rug on the floor.

From service + food, everything was amazing! Such a beautiful place to dine.
