    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.

    We had a lovely relaxed lunch of tasty food served by a friendly waiter in a lovely, relaxed setting, just a pity that the seaview was blocked by building boards. Will definitely visit again.

    I like everything about this bistro. We were there in January which was v cold outside. Inside the place is very comfortable and welcoming. The food and service is superb and parking just across the road. Overall a lovely dining experience

    My husband and I visited for dinner last Saturday and could not recommend this restaurant any higher. From the moment we stepped foot inside the door, nothing was too much for our server. I went for the specials of crab cakes and sea bream. My husband had the calamari and sea bream. For dessert we had chocolate fudge cake and tiramisu. Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. We visited from Kildare and will definitely be back in the future and will recommend to our friends. Thank you to all the team at the Waterfront Bistro. A brilliant find!

    This was our second visit. Keith, front of house, greeted us warmly, remembered what we had last time and learned everyone's name. He gives every sign of enjoying his work. The food was very good, high-bistro standard. What's not to like? Go!

    Our second time leaves me even more positive about this restaurant. My fish wonderful (Ray); everybody happy. And then to cap it all... though we failed to do them justice,.... a Baileys on the house. This now a favourite and very happy to reccomend
