What User doesn't like about Mcleary's Cafe:
Had high expectations due to the restaurant being superb. Boy was it a let down. Got the pasta and a panini. The pasta was simply a jar of sauce thrown over cooked pasta and I’d get a better panini in a garage deli. Lovely looking...place but very poor food. View all feedback.

I have dined there many times before Covid and shortly at the end of restrictions. Service couldn't be better. The food items delicious. Love love this restaurant. Service top notch. Wine list covers all the bases. Great View all feedback.

Would have given a 4 star last year but food has slipped a bit, still decent.

Can't recommend this place enough. Place is top quality.

The restaurant McLeary's offers a mixed experience, with some patrons raving about the superb quality of the food, while others are disappointed by lackluster offerings. From fabulous soup and warm atmosphere to underwhelming pasta and paninis, opinions vary. Friendly service and convenient location are highlighted, but the diverse menu may need improvement. Safety measures post-lockdown are appreciated, but changes in owner demeanor are concerning. Despite occasional missteps, the Eggs Benedict dish is highly recommended for its perfect execution. Overall, McLeary's presents a combination of highs and lows that may warrant a second visit.

While we were in Waterford, Ireland was eating. They had the typical Irish flair on the menu. The café was very busy and the staff was fine, but not so friendly...

Lunch with friend.. Customer service hilariously miserable in fact. Warming and couldn't wait to get out. Coffee not good.

9.50 for a ham,cheese,tomato and onion roll with a few leaves thrown on the side . Better options in Waterford
