Jacob's Ladder - Cobh

Even on a busy Sunday the food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. Great views winter or summer. Highly recommend!

We stopped in for an Irish Coffee and Coke. We were sitting outside by the water, enjoying the view, when it started to rain. Thankfully we got inside before it started pouring. Unfortunately, as soon as we got inside, we watched our table overturn, and the umbrella snap off! Always an adventure! The staff was kind and helpful. They did not object to our relocating ourselves during the storm. We didn't have food, but we were impressed with the menu and prices. This in inside the WatersEdge Hotel. Beautiful place, lovely view, and nice staff. P. S. We are able to use their free wifi. Ask for the password.

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.

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.

We've been here several times and it's always been very good. The menu has a good variety including fresh seafood and the service is above average every time. Last week we had the seafood Alfredo and the baked hake with potatoes and veggies. Both excellent, we will be back.
