Tower And Bistro - Malahide

We had supper here the bar and views are lovey and when the sun set's amazing , the food was ok but in need of content and bit over cooked for myself to the point of dry the staff are nice.

It is two years since I last visted this hotel, and what a difference no investment makes. The bar area needs a complete makeover. Tatty and dirty chairs, dirty and badly scrached tables. The food menu looks appealing but is quite woeful in reality. My delivered food was incorrect, no apology, tomato sauce all over the condiments, again no apology, the duty bar manager blamed his staff (but not his fault). Having read the managemnt's previous responses, it appears that little heed is taken from reviewers here, to say the place is undergoing refurbishment does not resolve operational issues and that fact that the place is dirty

I highly recommend the 8oz burger, chicken burger, fish and chips with hand cut fries. Succulent and delicious!

I had visited here once before in 2010, only for a cocktail. We happened to be in the area and I remembered they have a wonderful sea view from the bar. Lunch was good. Mister had a BLT Club with chicken and pronounced it very tasty, as were the chips (fries . I indulged in the Wild Mushroom Linguine. The mushrooms seemed to be ordinary button shrooms and the linguine was likely packaged, but it was quite good regardless and I devoured most of it! The lemon tart had a brulee top, shortbread crust and was served with a scoop of strawberry ice cream (they had run out of vanilla ??? . The server, Cindy, was very pleasant and even shared a photo she had taken of the glorious sunrise that morning! All said, the food was very good but the VIEW.....oh my! Looking out at the changing Irish Sea was mesmerizing. Well worth a daytime visit!

The Waterside House Hotel bar/restaurant. Served a superb selection at breakfast, catering for every taste! Our family also enjoyed dinner from the bistro menu again offering a lovely meal at a modest price. We were dressed casually for a day beside the strand and felt comfortable also the Tar bar restaurant staff are so helpful and attentive. We plan to return.
