    Dropped on for lunch/brunch with family before a bridal fitting across the way. Well... Compliments to the chef! Great menu! The food was delicious, but the toffee pudding was so good, I was compelled to write this review. I've eaten in many places when visiting kilkenny, but I think Stathams will be a regular goto now! Also, the staff are lovely and the atmosphere and design was really nice. Highly reccomend for family, friends, stags and hens. Good eats!

    Coming to Stathams is always such a pleasure. The staff are so welcoming and kind. Each time I come here it manages to be better than the last time (which is hard as it’s always amazing)! I got the express lunch which included half of the triple ham and cheese toastie, half a portion of the crispy hash browns and a small desert. The hash browns are by far the best I’ve ever had! The soup is also lovely. I still haven’t manage to come here for dinner yet but it’s top of the list!

    Delicious family brunch here, everyone was happy including a gluten free bruncher :) Highly recommend a side of the hash browns with whatever you're having!

    Fantastic starter and main, you can tell the chef is having fun with it. Let down by the desserts. We had the chocolate financier and banana pudding, feels like they're missing a pastry chef

    Breakfast tasted nice but we wish someone offered water, juice, toast, etc. since it's not a buffet, just a menu card with beverages explaining what's available would be nice. Felt bad chasing down the server three times. Very friendly but not entirely attentive.

    On advice of the hotel host, we had the Focaccia which was, as promised, excellent. The steak was great (ask for extra grilled onions which are like a like a concentrated french onion soup), as was the orzo.

    Was really excited to try dinner at Stathams, unfortunately the night was a bit of a disaster. We were seated by the host who told is they were very busy and the food would be delayed. We were OK with waiting a bit. He took our order but almost ran away before we just about managed to order drinks. I didn't like my starter which I communicated to a waiter who thankfully took it off the bill. The other starter was good. For mains we both had steak which took a while to come out but it was 10/10 really nice flavour. No one checked on us the whole night. I would have liked another drink but the waiters were nowhere to be seen. After our mains we sat with empty plates for a long time. We realised no one was coming so we just went up to the bar to pay and skipped dessert. Really disappointing service. We'd like to come back because the steak was great but hope the service can be improved.

    Very relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff, lovely decor. Best hotel in the city center for a meal or a coffee and a chat.

    Can Not Stop Talking About The Food!! The Focaccia was excellent! The Peanut Marshmallow Dessert was exquisite! The Hash browns will make you come back!! These should be sold in buckets!! Chef Shannon pulled out all the stops in this mouthwatering meal!! Can't wait to return.

    I have eaten lots of fabulous meals, coffees and cocktails here. I love their healthy and very tasty breakfast options in particular, which is probably the meal I avail of most as I work closeby. And on the occasion that I have the kids with me, the kids menu is brilliant, much better than any other standard hotel or restaurant offerings. Lots of different areas to sit in the bar as well which I like, including the enclosed courtyard. Highly recommended and this is coming from someone who is very fussy about food and also where it is sourced from.

    Stayed there as part of Christmas dinner with work colleagues. Sharon Vanessa and Ashling on front desk fantastic efficient and welcoming. Star of the bar that evening and the breakfast room next day though was Michelle! Friendly, funny and very helpful!!! Great character to have working anywhere! Student Tom was smiling, on work experience and eager to learn all about the trade and hospitality industry. Hotel spotless and perfect location.

    3 of us went for lunch today, first thing we noticed was there is only a brunch menu, which had a shockingly poor menu choice (actually the worst I've ever seen). I ordered roast chicken ciabata, mushroom soup and rosemary fries, my two friends ordered the black pudding salad. My ciabata was only OK, and was nowhere worth the €9 they were charging, my soup was very salty,and my rosemary fries had no element or trace of rosemary to be found. I asked two different staff members if they could get me some butter for the slice of charred bread that came with my soup, but neither of them ever returned with it (the place wasn't busy at all, so they definitely weren't under pressure). My friends salads were tasteless and bland, and they weren't impressed. Really disappointed by today's experience.

    Staff very friendly, anytime we've had lunch, the food has always been good. However, i'm disappointed to see they charged me 2.50e for gravy that i asked for with my 2 year old's lunch. My husband asked for some garlic mayonnaise instead of regular, and we were charged an extra 1.50e for this!!! This is not regular practice?!!

    As a group of 6 we had the most wonderful evening in Stathams. The sun was shining and although it was Friday 13th I do believe it was lucky for us. We had dinner booked for 7pm , upon arriving early we were delighted to be invited to sit out in the court yard and enjoy a relaxed cocktail before our dinner. The cocktails were amazing and so too were the staff as at no time were we rushed into our table. So dinner - we choose a mixture of the bites to share among us all and this was perfect as we had just the right amount. So glad as the mains were just absolutely amazing. 5 Steaks each cooked to the desire of each individual and everyone was raving about them. Absolutely the most beautiful steaks I have tasted and presentation was class. The steak came with the most tasty kale and onion puree and beef jus - seriously heaven. One of the guys had Hake which was the fish of the day and he was equally delighted with his choice. There is great options on the menu so everyone will be satisfied and most NB happy. Desserts choose was Roast Banana Ice cream - wow !!! you have to try and my favourite was the marinated blackberries with oatmeal biscuit. Some of the gang choose another cocktail instead of dessert . The thing I love about this night was the atmosphere , there's a buzz around the hotel, the food is centre of attention in a warm family sense cupped with outstanding customer service. This hotel really need to train other venues on their customer service as i have never experienced the warm and attention provided elsewhere. The staff want to make your night special. If you're coming to Kilkenny Statham's is a must and if you are living in Kilkenny Statham's is a must. Beautiful food, amazing chef, fabulous staff and the ambience is heaven. Only wished I was staying over that night . Looking forward to meeting up again here with friends.

    Very average hotel.. Bland decor. No atmosphere. Dreadful lobby..Staff polite but devoid of personality. Food average. Not worth the price..

    Wonderful dining experience! We came here for restaurant week (ordered the market dishes with the wine pairing). Everything tasted incredible! They even made our dog a special meal. Thank you all for making our trip to Kilkenny special!!! :)
