First timer to the pub and restaurant, must admit was a bit unsure as I don't rate restaurants attached to pubs very highly. A group of us were there for a 60th party and went for the set menu on a Friday evening. It was fantastic. I'm a fussy vegetarian and I was in heaven!!! Everyone loved their crab salads, steaks, fish etc., the side veg were gorgeous, mini ratatouille, home cut fries, potatoes!!! All so beautifully cooked. The wine flowed, the staff were so friendly and helpful and then in the bar a saxophone player started up which took half our table onto the dance floor!!! We had our table in the alcove down a few steps, so it was close to the bar but I can imagine upstairs being more intimate and quiet. All in all, the food, the staff and the atmosphere was brilliant. I can't wait to go back.

It’s rare for me to find a place that I love as much as I love Thomas Moore Tavern

We visited this pub/restaurant twice in a row while at the Wexford Opera Festival. It is hard to describe everything that is great about this place - from the staff and managers whose pride in serving really outstanding cuisine is visible, to the cleanliness of the premises. Just after the lunch and dinner rushes you could still visit most of the premises and be surprised at the pristine state of everything, including the bathrooms.
Although recently refurbished the work has been beautifully done - from the classic tin ceiling to the exacting cabinetry standards of the panelling and the wrought (but not over-wrought) metal of the stairs.
The food was made in-house, including the filled pasta (mushroom panzerotti) which was both delicate and delicious - and the starter portion was larger than a main course I had in Dublin a day later - and half the price. Indeed, the quality, quantity and prices were a bit of an economic mystery - how do they break even? My wife's expression as she surveyed a 30cm of perfectly cooked sea bass was only leavened by the waitress' comment that "oh they are often bigger." Moreover, they served the whole fish, boned and sliced, but with the crisped skin on top - perfectly cooked - gorgeous, but easy to eat. At lunch time an order of a pork chops main - with salsa verde (perfect) showed up with two sizeable pork chops! The crème fraîche - lemon creme brullée was a delicious and brilliant solution to the usual high calorie content of traditional crème brullée.
The old Michelin star standard of worth a detour - this place is worth a visit to Wexford town to go to.

My wife and I were looking for a different place to have lunch in Wexford and happened on The Thomas Moore just off Main St. We had a fabulous lunch - boss had a poached salmon sandwich made with wheaten bread and I had a corned beef on spelt bread. The service was swift and really professional. Our host was charming, friendly and a real professional. Our sandwiches were absolutely fabulous and the fries were without doubt the best we've ever had. The bill was a modest €25 and some change. The experience was delightful and the ambience was perfect

“I dined here recently with a group of friends. We arrived @ 7.30 & were told we could still avail of the early bird menu if we chose to. Lots of delicious choices from either the early bird or a la carte menu. Really good wine list. Fantastic service. This place is well worth a visit. After your meal you can go to the bar, where there was live music. I will definitely be returning”
