Havent been here since before the great pandemic and I was pleasantly surprised that, if anything, the standard of food and service is as good, if not better than before. We had the choice of dining indoors or outdoors, choice and quality of the food was excellent. The staff were very attentive, without being intruding. Value for money was excellent as you would pay dearly for the same fare in a so called upmarket restaurant.
Food excellent and staff very friendly. Surprisingly our party of 3 were never asked for our covid certs even though we had our phones ready to show them. Would have given more stars otherwise
The food is amazing. The restaurant is beautiful. Musician was very good. The staff are excellent, especially our server Sylvia.
Excellant food and service. I have eaten at the Elm tree pre covid, and I have to say they have upped their game since reopening.
Food is great. Service is outstanding!The lovely lady who was waiting us managed to get off menu items including watermelon and vegan pasta for our kids.Would love to visit again.
The food choice is vaired i love that.The standard of food was amazing.This is all helped by such friendly and efficient staff
Beautiful place beautiful food.Very welcoming very friendly staff.3 menus - kids,teens and adults which is very good too.couldnt fault anything had a lovely family meal.will be back.
Food and service were very good. Staff were a little inexperienced but their attentiveness and good manner more than made up for it. I was quite disappointed in the table we received after booking several weeks in advance, we were placed in a marquee near the front of the building and road, which did not have the live music or ambiance of the tables to the rear this to me was not acceptable as it is not of the same standard as the other rear area highly recommended 👌 👍 😉 💯 🙂
Really memorable family meal celebrating our daughters confirmation. Gorgeous food, the staff were really attentive and thoughtful. Made the day very special for us all
Very cosy & relaxed atmosphere. Great good and wonderful, helpful staff too. Well worth visiting
A very busy restaurant but excellent service and food.
7 of us meet for lunch. I personally only had a coffee which taste burnt but that just my opinion I am very odd when it comes to my coffee. Everyone else got wraps and sandwiches and they all really enjoyed it. The portions were generous for the price. Their kids menu was fantastic! Would love to go back for cocktails they have a great outdoor venue. Helen served us and she was very kind, helpful and super polite.
Perfect place for family dinner. Lovely ambience, good food and drinks. Loved the murphy’s. Best venue to have a good cocktail and party with family and friends.
I havent been here in awhile. Really impressed. Food excellent, value for money o yes. Staff both friendly and helpful. Cant wait to return.
Service was quite poor and food is terribly overpriced. Ordered a chicken curry. Came without chicken at first and had to be sent back and chicken was just thrown on top of what had been sent out. Asked for half rice half chips and was told this is not possible. For a restaurant that charges high prices for a curry, the least they could do is give half and half if someone asks for it. No consideration for the customer. It seems as it is was all about getting the food out and getting the money for it.Now I have gone back since and I had a better experience. Staff were quicker and more attentive. At these high prices you expect to be looked after extremely well in an establishment such as this.
Staff were very attentive and the food was excellent in taste and presentation. Had a lovely lunch and drinks with a dear friend to catch up. Couldnt have been better.
Enjoyable place for a bite. Really nice.
Used to be a nice, quiet pretty posh place, they never had a big menu, not too many options but i could live with it. Few weeks ago been there, dirty table and remained dirty until we left, the steak was...ok but the whole plate was looking like made in a hurry, my partner plate the same. Long waiting time even they hired more personnel, they were just chatting one to eachother around. After 25-30 minutes waiting someone to bring the check note we went to pay it the counter.
Food was fantastic, the only reason I didnt give 5 stars is staff attentiveness.Otherwise its a great spot with really nice food and staff overall are decent, just 1 or 2 members who maybe arent as interested as the rest which resulted in 4 out of 5 starts
Lovely restaurant. Friendly staff and excellent good value food. Would recommend
Usually eat in elm tree.but this morning both of us asked for if we could have scrambled eggs on toast..nothing too complicated in that you say..but got the answer no..seems the chef rules with iron fist...left and got it elsewhere....when you get to this level the customer does not really matter..
Delicious food, very warm and clean place staff is very friendly and polite. Definitely will come back.
We had a gorgeous meal here today for my daughters communion. Our waitress Sylvia was also fantastic.
Food OK. Busy restaurant but well looked after. Very chatty staff.

Highly recommend The Elm Tree lovely lunch a few weeks ago great food lovely staff .Restaurant was spacious felt very safe there in these strange times great to see it open again our favourite place to eat on our way back to West Waterford
Confirmation lunch here... Food was super... Young staff bit inexperienced but it didnt spoil anything.. Great atmosphere
Food was delicious but service was poor but not the staffs fault they understaffed by the looks of things
Beautiful restaurant friendly staff good food 😋worth a visit 😋
Worst experience Ive ever had. Its 3 tents in a car park. Ive never felt so hurried by staff even though the place wasnt full. I ordered a sirloin steak. Mistake! Stringy, fatty and tough. The onion rings were horrible, too much batter, and about 10 chips in one of those bespoke pales. Too many tables in each tent gave the place a cluster phobic feel. My wife ordered the Featherblade of beef and said it was the best she ever had. We both had the brownie dessert and agreed it was average at best. Dont think outside dining suits Ireland.
Oh the food is just beautiful.. lovely venue, service couldnt be more helpful .. highly recommend!
Heard it was meant to be beautiful. Em no good is cold . They have a bad set up . You have to cew for food first then wait too be sitted . No with no glasses . No body will ask you are you ok for anything i got turkey and ham it was cold and dry out . Wouldnt go there again dont aee hype
To begin with there was grease seeping out of the bags. Two of us ordered the fish, which was poor quality, overcooked and full of grease. The batter was soft. I ordered the chicken burger and the brioche bun was soggy, it was the same for my sisters burger. The chicken curry contained five pieces of chicken maximum. Overall, we were highly disappointed. We have eaten in the restaurant numerous times and it was always excellent. However on this occasion, it was very underwhelming.
Very nice place with a good atmosphereThe songs that they play makes it brilliant if you want to bring your partner out but not great for a first date if you have children then this is perfect for you!!! My only problem is that it feels a bit crowded at times and the toilets were disgusting there was pee under the sink and it smelled but other than that it was a very nice placeI give this 4 stars
Was good to be back, one of our favourite restuarants but dissapointed in their prices, have gone very expensive, understand they have been closed for covid but so has many others, dissapointed.
Excellent lunch in a very safe environment Really really busy yesterday, Tues, for lunch but we had booked on previous day Very friendly professional staff.
As always a fabulous meal and excellent service. Never fails to impress
Just home .4 of us living a 5 min taxi ride home spent 280 euro the 4 of us great night .food excellent.Now we were disgusted they left us outside the door, staff wouldnt ring us a cab to get home if I knew that I wouldnt have graced the place .Sorry but 280 and treated like that never again .And Im not fussy .............
Great food. Friendly staff. Easy location to get to . Really enjoyable meal.
A delicious dinner and very friendly staff.
Great food, wonderful service and a special mention for the kids menu which is far better than the usual fare. We always try to end the day here after a trip to Fota.
Lovely outdoor dining space. Food superb as always Lemon cheese cake to die for....
We had a fantastic meal in our favourite restaurant last night 12th June. What an experience . First class set up in one of 3 marquees. We were greeted by Roy and shown to our table. The place and ambience was outstanding. We hadnt been there since before Christmas and couldnt wait to get back. We were greeted by Eoin Lisa and Derek and of course Keith in the bar. Great service from Conor. We regard these people as friends highly competent in their jobs. The food was delicious thanks to the great panel of chefs in the kitchen. Overall a fantastic experience as always 100% in every aspect of this superb bar and restaurant. It was good to be back.👏👏👏👏👏
Celebrating a Heavenly 90th Birthday for our Dad, with my Mum and Sister. We had Melt in the mouth ribeye beef x 2 and delicious springrolls with all the trimmings. Each staff member was nicer than the next, very attentive and welcoming, particularly as we had a wheelchair user. We will certainly return!
Lovely food, staff today a bit under pressure
Had the Carvery Lunch. You can never go wrong with The Elm Tree.
Very good the outside area for no-vaccinated people. The food and service were lovely!
Great evening in the new outside area. Food is so consistent here.
They have outdone themselves with the outdoor dining. Food excellent as always and the staff as friendly and helpful as ever.
Had a fantastic night last Friday nights as always in The Elm Tree restaurant .We had guests with us on a staycation and we wanted to take them out somewhere nice but also Covid safe .As we were here before we decided this would be a good idea We were not disappointed, their Covid protocol was excellent, the food was superb, it was beautifully presented and the taste was 5 star quality .The service was excellent and our guests were very impressedThank you one and all in the Elm Tree, ye did cork proudCatherine Mac Sweeney

Great experience as always but I had to buy two dif dishes to get what I wanted.
Amazing place and foodThe staff are very efficient and friendly
Excellent food and service. Beautiful setting outside highly recommend it
The vegetarian food was good overall, especially the breadboard starter. The veef burger was tasty but perhaps the texture could benefit from more firmness.However I was disappointed to find they are not dog-friendly as my small dog was not allowed in their large outdoor dining area. The person on the phone even laughed when I enquired about bringing my dog which I found to be a bit strange.
Amazing wings, great staff who is always friendly and welcoming!

Excellent service andValue thanks
Lovely place went there for my confirmation haven’t been there since but gorgeous food and reasonable prices and sizes for the portions and lovely staff there aswell can’t wait to return soon
Amazing food. The only trouble is having to pick only one option on the menu !
We had lunch there yesterday. The staff are very pleasant, helpful, and available. The food was great, the atmosphere was comfortable and the decoration is tasteful and modern. Its a bit more expensive than average but Id prefer to pay than to be disappointed. There is a large, easy to use car park, and Covid 19 safety protocols are in place . What more could we want? 👍😊
A bit disappointing.We have been there many times and always loved it but tonight was a let down.Tonight the service was non existent.Constant ringing of the restaurant phone, which was not being picked up.A real pity as we have always loved this place.The food quality was mostly very good.Starters were lovely, but very small for the price.Overall, the food is good but the standard has definitely dropped.
Delicious burgers and nice atmosphere
By far the best carvery still after all these years, breakfast not quite as good.
Went for Sunday lunch and with the current situation they should be taking bookings not allowing people queue for a table. The food was beautiful but we ordered food from the childrens menu & there was a wait which is a no no with children.
Wooooooooowwwww 👌🏻 amazing end of
Super food and withness.5 stars
The food was beautiful, lovely location and friendly staff
