"We booked this restaurant through open table and was disappointed overall. The menu was not the same menu as shown through open table, it was extremely limited. However our party settled on the panko coated aubergine salad, the Cajun burger and the banyan currizza. The salad was enjoyable, the burgers Cajun coating was soggy and the currizza, which came with one of the curries of the day on top of a naan bread and melted mozzarella was cold. We notified one of two members of staff at front of house and this was dealt with straight away and very professionally. The rest of the party had finished eating by the time my dish was returned but it was kindly removed from the bill at the end. For this I would probably return, although it's more of a brunch time place, don't be swayed by the online menu."

"We chose this restaurant because it has plenty of vegetarian choices and some unusual options. Our main courses were really tasty and the portions were generous we had the Haloumi and Asparagus Pad Thai, and the Cauliflower and Brussel Sprout Crepes. On the down side much of the asparagus in the Pad Thai was chewy and inedible. When I let the staff member know about this I got a slightly defensive response of 'you never can tell, I bought some tangerines which looked good the other day but they didn 't taste good '. You can test the tenderness of asparagus whilst cooking it so this wasn 't the best excuse. I ordered the creme brulee for dessert and it wasn 't good hot at the top, cold at the bottom and very eggy tasting. Service is slow we waited 30 minutes for our mains and at that point we were the only customers in the restaurant. Later customers were told it would be a 30 40 minute wait. Overall it was good though and there were other main courses I would go back to try. The prices are very reasonable."

"Best fish and chips I've ever had. Very fresh tasting. The chips were hot and tasted like they were just cut. Been there twice, had fish twice. Traveling to Dublin again in a week. Want to try some other dish, but I sure would miss the fish. The waiter remembered me from my first visit. He remembered what I ate and drank and where I sat!! Like the cozy atmosphere and great local music. I'll be back."

"Traveled the whole way from the north with the family.We we're staying in skerries for a few days.Now we're tbh not a fussy bunch but the food was cold they ran out of larger on tap and the Guiness was fizzy???? Plus we were told we had 1hr 30 mins because they needed the table.There was 10 of us so it took 50 mins for the food to come out.On a positive note the steak was the nicest I've tastest in a long time.This is an honest review."

"I think the best thing was the mussels. Some of the mains felt overpriced for what seemed more like bistro type fair. The prawn tacos were basic and lacked presentation for paying over £16 without a side."

"We were welcomed like old friends and despite being early for our reservation, taken to our table and treated like Queens (the royal type). the food was tasty, hot, well presented and just fabulous. The service was attentive but unobtrusive. The restaurant is gorgeous, fresh, clean and totally in keeping with it's seaside location. Once the building work across the road is finished it will once again have fabulous views out across the bay. I would say while not the cheapest meal I have ever had it was reasonable and for what we had very good value for money. I cannot recommend a trip to Waterfront Bistro enough if you find yourself in Dun Laoghaire."

"Similar to a lot of reviews here, I had a booking for food in advance of a matchday. I received notification that all was accepted along with my bank details being taken, but when I showed up at the agreed time, there was no recollection of a booking being made. The manager came down and said he did not see bookings through OpenTable (why is it on the site in that case? and told us to take any table we wanted. I asked him to show us where a good table may be, considering we had never been here before. While leading us to a table we were lucky we still had our shoes on by the time we got there as the floor was ridiculously sticky and clearly was not being looked after. It was not busy at the time either, with about 10-20 people in and around the bar area, so there was no excuse to not clean the floor. Only once we got to our table we were then told the kitchen was closed, at 19:00, defeating the whole purpose of booking a table. There was no mention of this anywhere until we were told by the manager, who at this stage did not seem to care what we did. We then traipsed back across the sticky floor to leave straight away."

"We arrived before our reservation time, and Ben graciously showed us to our table. He truly enhanced our experience, which was already worthwhile. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the food was delightful. Overall, it was a wonderful visit that deserves more recognition!"

"Our reservation was mishandled, and our table was mistakenly given away while we waited at the bar. This was frustrating, especially since we had a confirmed booking. The bar staff, however, were lovely and very efficient. Unfortunately, the table service didn’t match the same standard. We had a long wait after finally being seated before our food and drinks arrived. When it was time to settle the bill, we were charged £60 for a bottle of wine, despite our order being for a £32 bottle—quite a significant error. The table service offered little in the way of an apology for this mistake. While the venue itself is beautiful and we enjoyed an enjoyable evening with friends, the level of service was disappointing and felt lacking."

"Unfortunately, our experience tonight was quite disappointing. We confirmed our reservation for a table at the top last night, but when we arrived, we were seated at a less desirable table in the bar, as it seemed they were overbooked. Additionally, two out of the three main courses were served with the wrong sauces, and two of our desserts came with the incorrect ice cream."

"I didn't realize this restaurant was actually located inside a pub, which caught me off guard when I arrived. However, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was quite good."

"that was amazing and the room beautifully decorated, but it was so quiet when we arrived, as there was no audible music and no one seemed to speak on the other tables, probably out of this ground. the waiter was young and was nice, but needed a workout when he left before we finished our order, not to realize that we looked at the side (although we still looked at the menu). also when the wee was brought, he knocked him on the table with the lid and ran. we can of course weep ourselves, but he should be trained to be confident what he does. the appetizers were beautiful and for the most part also the main thing. the seabark was delicious, but the veg was too salty, so I had to leave the greatest part of it. they also have NED pages, as the nets were on the small side. they cook the salmon themselves, which was quirky, but not mentioned on the menu and easy embarrassing when it is annoying and steaming away when the room is so quiet. between the curses there was a pretty waiting time, and we wanted to see the desert menu at the end. we had a nice evening and that was okay, but we probably won't go back."

"Dear Owner, The customer is the king! Without us your business is dead. In the 21st Century you should have more ingredients, meals customisation and flexibility. We wanted the warm cooked breakfast but there was no flexibility to provide a substitute or change the price if you can only sell half of the listed ingredients. Also, you are missing potato scones, haggis, variety of veg/ salsa such as cucumbers, radish, red peppers … and so on. You don’t have a vegetarian and vegan alternatives! Speed up please with the expectations. Never had an experience where the selection and options are so damn poor. Especially after the lockdown where businesses are appreciating and fighting for every customer. Thank you."

"I had lunch at this restaurant today because I was in the area. I decided to come back because I really enjoyed my last visit. They were doing some renovations the last time I was here, and now it looks even better."
