So, this was one of the weirdest experiences we've had in a long time. We arrived right before…read moreopening and joined a queue, waiting to enter. We were sat at a lovely table by a staff member and given menus. We looked it over and waited and waited.... No one came to the table. We learned 30 minutes later that we had to go order at a bar, and that no one actually takes your order. It wasn't clear, because there were no signs, instructions, and waiters were bringing food to the tables. We then hungrily joined a standing line to order. A waitress told us to move forward to an open spot to order, only to find that the spot was not in fact ready for a new order. We waited in that spot for so long that 4 parties ordered before us, that were behind us in line. They ordered at the register that we originally were in line for. No one acknowledged us, no clear order was advertised. It was SO weird! So we finally order, and after a very expensive bill for the food that we ordered, we were told to wait standing until the drinks were made. We needed to walk the drinks back to our table. We waited and waited, while they took other people's orders. After while, a staff member showed us that the drinks were waiting for us, ice melted, and no one told us. Ugh. We go back to the table. Many tables around us ate and are leaving, as they seem to rush people in and out. We wait for 40 minutes and our food isntvthere. We ask about it, and right away, someone else's order shows up. It's not our food. We bring it to attention of the server, and they take it away. After a while our food arrives. The dishes were good, drinks ok. The service seemed like they tried to be friendly but it was such a disorganized crap show that they might not have realized how bad it really was. My family wanted to shop after but we were so ready to leave the area, we just took off. Bad experience, wish we tried another recommendation. We spent a lot of time, a lot of money, and really felt taken advantage of.

Fabulous dinner this evening with a view of the clouds over the cliffs here in Northern Ireland…read more The timing of the meal was great, the service was great, the food was great. Of course, by the seaside one must have seafood so it was the fried octopus to start. Served over a small salad in a light dressing, four rings was an excellent appetizer. Fresh and hot, absolutely delicious and bite sized. For main, I chose the seafood spaghetti. Tasty with perfectly cooked pasta tossed in a sauce with white fish, salmon and more. It was very fishy and I cleared the plate. Dessert was offered but I chose to simply finish my pint of pilsner. A lovely meal and definitely five stars.

My husband and I had dinner here when looking for a place that was open on a Monday evening…read more Overall, it was a great experience! We found the three course dinner to be a great deal. The restaurant was fairly busy when we arrived, but also very large, so we had no trouble getting a table. For the starter, I had the garlic bread while my husband had the fish cake. The garlic bread was very simple but delicious. For the main course, I opted for the beer battered fish while my husband ordered peppered chicken. Both entrees were excellent. The fish was perfectly fried and served with traditional mashed peas, while the chicken was served on top of a generous pile of mashed potatoes. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake and the coconut and jam sponge cake. Both were good, but I would especially recommend the chocolate cake...it was excellent, very rich, and also a shareable portion.

Ah, you just can't beat a good old fry up when you're hung-over (especially when it's done proper…read moreUlster Fry style!) so you can imagine how great it was having such a good quality café right on the doorstep of your university. I spent many a day here recovering the day after the night before in the confines of this lovely café. Their fry ups really are out of this world, I kid you not. They serve up a pretty mean milkshake too. Mmm I'm craving one just thinking about it. It doesn't cost a fortune either which is always a bonus if you're on a student budget. Thankfully, if you're not the greasy fry up type of person (or you can't handle it just yet!) then there's a whole other range of delicious dishes for you to choose from; including newly made sumptuous sandwiches, orgasmic omelettes, beautiful burgers, gorgeous gammon and other flippin' lovely fresh, local produce. This family run, traditional café is excellent, although admittedly it doesn't look up to much from the outside. In my opinion it totally lives up to its name, but will it be your 'Big O'??

We enjoyed the appetizer of Guinness and onion soup and the Inn's bread but they weren't as special as the menu descriptions made them out to be: the whiskey and smoked cheese roll was hard to tell either of those flavors but the butter and pesto were very good. The soup was fine but I guess we had high expectations for it to be better than your average French onion soup. Again for entrees I think the menu descriptions built up our expectations but everything seemed even more bland than the apps. The BAHARAT SPICE RUMP OF IRISH LAMB was cooked well but was pretty flavorless even with the hummus and sauce and the lamb fat potato stack just soft potato. The unique piccolo peppers were the only thing that provided some pop to the dish- maybe it wasn't seasoned properly? The filet with the Bushmills whiskey black pepper cream and roast mushroom tomato and rocket was seasoned a little better but the cream was lacking some punch. Good but not great. It all sounds good but doesn't feel like elevated cooking especially for the price. Finally the desserts were split. We ordered a shot of the Bushmills 10 yr to go with the butterscotch sundae which made the sundae perfect. Without it I'm thinking way too sweet. The milk and honey delice was disappointing. We ate the ganache and left the rest. The crust had a strange herb like flavor that was very unappealing.

Garlic bread is incredible though the "aioli" tasted like it was just mayo but the bread didn't need it at all. Goujons were good but the bbq sauce didn't taste bbq at all. The pepper sauce was nice though. Star here was the rotisserie chicken: fall off the bone and cooked perfectly. Again though, sauce was mid. Nothing on this menu needs a sauce (except Goujons) but they all come with them! Dishes def stand alone. All that said, the device made the meal!

A new establishment in Portrush…read more We are very disappointed with this bar, last night. We were out on a hen party and we had gone upstairs to have a cocktail. As we ordered a round of drinks, only then we're we told we would have to leave as they had a "no hen party policy". The hen was wearing hen party accessories which we offered to remove, but we were still told to leave. We were a respectable party and just wanted a cocktail. The policy of no hen parties was not evident when we walked in and we were not stopped at the door by the door staff. This in a way was worse as it was embarrassing to be told to leave after going upstairs and ordering a round of drinks. We took our custom elsewhere and I will not be returning after this experience.
