   The moment we arrived we were looked after with a table, The food, drink and the way the cake for my daughter was brought out was special. The lads and lassies on the tables were so friendly and helpful… 200% would recommend, Happy Days , Paul

   Food was superb, yes it is a burger but when you want a burger is delicious, great sweet potato fries and a milk shake to rave about. I will add wings next time, just because….

   The Watergate NavanResponded on 31 March 2022

   Thanks Paul! Yes be sure to grab a medium wings next time. :) Glad you enjoyed!!!

   Food tasted fantastic however we all received our food at different times .. 3 of the party received food quickly whilst 3 others were left waiting 20 minutes for their food, 1 of the party was waiting up to 1 hour for food (after the rest of us had finished) it turns out that his order wasn’t placed into the kitchen (although we all had ordered together) therefore that was a quite disappointing and servers weren’t very apologetic about this.

   Pre COVID I was a regular visitor because of the food but now . . . . Food was served on takeaway trays and wooden cutlery, should not be so for price of sit in food The food was drier and charred than usual. I felt so let down by the food after craving it and expecting it to taste the same as always.

   The Watergate NavanResponded on 25 March 2022

   Hi Susan, Thanks so much for your continued support during covid! The good news is that we are transitioning currently into steel cutlery and plates etc.. The changes will be implemented soon. We agree that the wooden/plastic cutlery etc... isn't correct and we will be phasing it all out over the next couple weeks. We hope you give us a try again!

   The service was terrible. Manager showed us our seat and then forgot about us never gave us menus, we had to go look for them ourselves. The food was as always delicious but the service let it down with a bang. The person in the seat beside us just got up and left as no one came to take his order, he was waiting 15 minutes plus. The bar/ restaurant was not that busy and there was plenty of staff. We would have stayed for another round of drinks but it was taking to long to get service.

   The Watergate NavanResponded on 25 March 2022

   Hi Maria, Very sorry to hear about your experience. If you give us another shot, we will ensure you have a much better level of service!!

    Pizzas were good but we never received the chips we ordered with them. Got given the dessert menu but they never came back to us only to tell us they needed the table back so just left. Would order pizza for delivery but very unlikely to go back there to sit in again

    Sit at the bar so you will save yourself the hassle of looking for service, a nice waitress took the order and then thats it, job done 😅 no communication that the pizzas would be delayed, no cutlery given, no more drinks offered and nobody came when we were finished to clear away and offer desserts so after another 10 mins after we finished we just left,

    Food was good. No tea and coffee available, strange when there's a desert menu. Hard to get the attention of staff at times. Staff wearing masks but not properly. Quite over priced.

    Service was terrible from start to finish looks like they were very short staffed from the moment we arrived there.

    The Watergate NavanResponded on 10 February 2022

    Hi there, You are indeed correct. We we're very understaffed. Unfortunately, Covid still exists and we are still in a pandemic. We lost numerous staff last weekend through close contacts at the last minute and did the best we could with our limited staff. Sorry it wasn't up to standard. Thanks for popping in and trying though.

    Hi Kevin, If there was any other seats available, we would have happily changed your seats. Friday was a particularly miserably cold day. Some days, the breeze is out of our control. Thanks a mill for coming in to us and hope to see you in again

    We were a table of 5. 1 person ordered pizza which arrived 15 mins before the rest of the tables food arrived. He was finished and had to sit and watch us eat. We should all be able to eat together.

    The Watergate NavanResponded on 10 February 2022

    Hi there, Sourdough & Co Pizza and Yeah!Burgr. are 2 different brands in 2 different kitchens at opposite ends of the Watergate premises. In an ideal world, we would be able to time both kitchens to come out with their food simultaneously but unfortunately this isn't possible. However, you should have been told this by staff as you were ordering so we apologise for that.

    Wings tasted good but were not very saucy. Had to order an extra tub of sauce on the side to make up for it. There also was not a lot of sauce on the burger.

    Food was good as always. Tasty and plenty of. The Blue Monday cocktail was delicious. However, you wouldn't want to be in a hurry. We waited half an hour for anyone to take our order then another half an hour for food. For a burger and chips. I don't know if they were overwhelmed with delivery orders or if something broke in the kitchen. When we were there, no food came from the kitchen for an hour. It was a very long wait. For a burger and chips. An explination for the delay would have been appreciated. I've been here a hundred times and never waited so long for food before. Very unusual and dissapointing for yeah burger.

    The Watergate NavanResponded on 21 January 2022

    Hi Paul Firstly thanks a mill for being a reg customer! The reason for the unusual wait times was simply due to major staff shortages that most restaurants in the country are unfortunately experiencing since the Christmas period. Possible close contacts etc... that had to stay at home. But the good news is that by the looks of things restrictions are being lifted and we will be able to operate in a normal capacity with a normal amount of staff! Thanks again and hope to see you in again.

    Only bad thing was that we were not checked on by any staff until we were ready to go, getting another drink was very difficult

    The Watergate NavanResponded on 21 January 2022

    Hi Eve, Thanks for coming in to us. Since December, we have been experiencing some last minute staff shortages due to possible close contacts etc... as well as just general staff shortages that most of the countries restaurants have been experiencing. With restrictions, all food & drink has to be ordered tableside & this greatly hinders the speed of service naturally. Good news is that restrictions seem to be finishing very shortly so we can to back to operating as efficiently as possible .

    I was here 2 weeks ago with friends and thought it was great, so I went back yesterday, but the garlic butter fries were not very garlicy, the burger buns were wet from being under the lights too long, and the meat was extremely dry too. Our server never asked if we wanted another drink or to take our plates or give us our bill when we were finished, after waiting for a long time trying to get their attention we decided to pay at the till and leave, it was disappointing.

    Really nice food, was waiting atleast 49 min sites for it to come out.. had 2 wooden forks on the table and felt like the servers were rude and didn’t come over once to see if we needed anything else or if everything was lay.. felt like all the staff just didn’t wanna be there and didn’t smile once.. other than that it’s a nice place.

    The Watergate NavanResponded on 22 November 2021

    Hi there, We are very happy you enjoyed the quality of the food. We apologise for the wait. Sometimes the kitchen gets overwhelmed with the amount of orders at once but since your visit, we have added new operational procedures to improve speed that seems to be working a treat. As our staff are required to wear masks during service, it tends to look like they might not be smiling but we can assure you they are :)
