Reviews of The Old Bank Dungarvan

k. K.

Visually, a superb example of a traditional cocktail bar with a fine array of hard liquor, liquors, wines and champagne on show. The bar is laid out with seating in cosy little alcoves, an area in front of the bar and a back room with a view of the harbour, boats, sea etc. The selection of cocktail is extensive with more, not on the menu, available to be made to order. The restaurant has a good selection of dishes at reasonable prices and again is tastefully decorated. Haven't seen this place before because I don't live in the area but it is a very appealing setup for me to want to visit. Only 4 Stars because I couldn't eat or drink here on the day but I am looking forward to the day when I can come back and do both.

We celebrated Day 2 of our wedding at The Old Bank. Due to COVID we rescheduled 3 times and it was no problem. Agnieszka was superb and 5 stars don’t do her justice she sourced flowers, served the food and designed our menus she is a superwoman that truly goes above and beyond. The food was fabulous, they even made us a cake which was DEVINE! Lastly the cocktails are some of the best in Ireland that need to be experienced. Dungarvan is our new staycation location with the Old Bank the place to eat / enjoy a cocktail. If they did accommodation we’d never want to leave.

Amazing food. Small portions and if you sit in a corner they may forget about you a tad between the appetizers and mains (we waited maybe an hour between) but can't complain about the quality at all! Very tasty and the whole atmosphere was gorgeous.

Fantastic night out with our daughters friend from Madrid. Food was excellent, service second to none and a big thank you to Sophia 💕

N. K.

The food was average, which would have been fine if this restaurant reasonably priced, but this place was pretty expensive. The steak was cooked well and good quality, but the sauce lacked flavour, and the starter and size dishes were underwelming. On the other hand, the deco, atmosphere and cocktails were pretty good.

My lunch in The Old Bank was very pleasant. Antonio met our company at the door and was warming and professional. Our waiter, Mario, suggested the best wine.The cherry on top was the lunch and drinks. It was divine, my compliments to the chefs and Barry for the wonderful cocktails. To all a bing thank you for providing excellent food and service and for making my visit to Dungarvan a memory to keep. I would highly recommend visiting The Old Bank.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. We recently held our wedding reception for 50 guests at the old Bank. The food was fabulous. The atmosphere and service really was excellent. We are very appreciative especially to Antonio the Manager who went above and beyond to make our day super special - which it was. This is one of our favourite restaurants. Definitely worth a visit.

I had the most delicious mushroom tortellini here last night, I’m still thinking about it, it was amazing! Went to the bar after dinner and had a Lavender Collins cocktail, gorgeous. Staff were brilliant, so attentive. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Having read a very negative report by Lucinda O'Sullivan and having heard some positive reports locally we decided to visit for ourselves. Allowing for the fact that Covid restrictions have taken from the atmosphere in most restaurants the Old Bank was no different although it did have a good number of customers. There are different styles of restaurants under the one roof. We ate in the bistro. The food was rather expensive though nicely cooked. We later discovered other rooms were less expensive. Staff uniforms were a little OTT for a seaside holiday town. We are glad we visited but with such a wide range of restaurants in Dungarvan it will be next year before we visit the Old Bank again. To be fair this restaurant opened not long before Covid so it is probably a miracle that it is still open.

Excellent lunch for Christmas with our friends. Very nice menu, well presented by very efficient staff .

M. K.

Beauiful food in a very safe setting.

P. J. O.

Very friendly staff, a beautiful (if pricy) bar in a fabulous location. Suitable for large family gatherings even in this Covid, with sone terrific nooks and cranies for more intimate tete-a-tetes.

J. O.

Lovely restaurant, beautiful building and very friendly staff. The wine list is impressive, the food is excellent .

We recently attended the wedding of our wonderful friends Regina and Irial in the Old Bank; the venue, food and staff were just fantastic. I would highly recommend it!

A. F.

I was excited to try this new place out but it was rather disappointing. We got a table upstairs. Lovely setting and furnishings but it was really cold - with wintry temperatures outside the rads were not even on. It was worse in the toilet - felt colder than actually being outside. Can't fault the service, very attentive but that's where the positives end. The food is very pricy and the portions are small. You are getting huge plates with a small centrepiece of food. It tasted ok, rather bland. Didn't stand out in any way. Everybody at our table of 4 was underwhelmed. We won't be going back.

C. H.

Must go if in Dungarvan, food is fab the fish was real fresh. The restaurant is beautiful, Antonio, Alan and Ellie looked after us well.

S. D.

This restaurant has come of age. Brilliant staff, lovely bar and oh so wonderful Italian and seafood food. We will be back regularly.

E. E.

The old Bank building is beautiful and the food in the Bistro was very good. The staff could not have been more helpful. Well worth a visit.

M. K.

The old Building is lovely renovated and just looks amazing inside and outside. Interior is classic and sleek. On arrival we were greeted warmly and led straight to the table. For a Starter we ordered Harty's Oysters on Ice and rare Tuna in Sesame. The food arrived half hour later, was well presented and tasted absolutely amazing. We chose Spiced Saddle of Venison and Wild Atlantic Halibut for the Main Course. Again , the food was very good and full of flavour. Only the fish was slightly overcooked, the Beetroot was way undercooked and there was something on top of the Venison that was 'inedible' and shouldn't be there. The Dessert however was outstanding. Zabaglione and a Tiramisu that was so creamy and tasty, I could it it all over again. The Staff was very friendly, always helpful but never in your face. But I would recommend your Waiter to not smoke before they enter the Guestroom, the smell is very unpleasent. Overall we had a great evening in the Restaurant, awesome Food and Wine and will definitely come back for more.

They are situated in a super nice spot just at the end of the green way in Dungarvan they also has a nice spot at the back of the restaurant and if you are lucky and the sun is out it is worth it to seat there good cocktails and food and also good service 😀

J. R.

I decided to treat my Wife on her birthday and Valentine,s and booked a table at the Old Bank. From the moment we stepped inside the building the experience was special. We were a little late but it was not an issue. Our table was spacious , plenty arm room for all 5 Of us. The food was absolutely fantastic. Brilliant service just the perfect timing between courses. . A food experience in Dungarvan which is out of this world. We can not wait to return.

A. O. B.

F. G.

Really nice place

A. F.

I haven't been for dinner having read the reviews. I tried it out for coffee and scones, though being celiac I couldn't eat then. Nor could my friend who wasn't celiac and found them unpalatable. There seemed to be too many staff not knowing what to do ; but I felt we were rushed. The supercilious looks from the flamboyant manager didn't help. But the coffee was good.

E. P.

An amazing place for Dungarvan. The food was fantastic and comparing to restaurants around the world it is definitely up there for quality. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I would recommend booking upstairs if you're organizing a fancy night out.

L. O.

Some of the best service I've ever experienced. Staff were so well trained. Menu is exciting and varied. Decor is beautiful. Starters were exceptional, my main could have been better, but it was still nice.

D. C.

This restaurant is trying very hard to bring an authentic Italian menu to West Waterford. Their stoneoven pizzas are top class, and their Whiskey Sours are great. We'll be back again.
