    Wowser, what a restaurant! The Water Margin is right up there on my list of favourite places to…read moreeat, having been there for romantic dinners with the husband before he became the husband and for a very raucous birthday party at which the husband insisted on singing. Before the karoke machine was turned on. The setting is spectacular - this is a large building right on the edge of the River Bann, so ask when you are booking for a window table and you'll have a stunning view as you eat and drink. The interior of the restaurant is just as impressive - a large, high ceiling room with a giant chandelier in the centre. So, what about the food? It certainly lives up to the setting. I would describe this as upmarket Chinese food rather than the kind of place to grab your Friday night sweet and sour. The prices reflect the setting and the quality and for special occasions I am more than happy to pay them. On our last visit I had satay chicken skewers and seaweed, both of which were top notch. I than had shredded chilli beef which I also loved, and the husband had king prawns in yellow bean sauce which I felt obliged to try and also really liked. We had side orders of special fried rice and noodles and I could have eaten either of these on their own. I was pleased to see that there is a tea time special menu at £9.95 for 3 courses which is outstanding value given the quality of food and the lovely service you get. Can't wait until the next time we go back.

    Eat here quite a bit and can't complain about anything. The food and service is excellent. I'd…read morerecommend anyone passing through to call in and try it. They do a shoppers special which is great value too

    We bought four main take away meals here: chicken fried rice, 3 out of 10, salt & chilli chicken,…read more1 out of 10 and truly awful with small over - battered bits of chicken; salt & chilli king prawn, 4 out of 10 and pork chop 5 out of 10. As we bought four mains we got two free starters from a limited selection; a sesame prawn toast (3 triangle pieces) 2 out of 10 and a crispy seaweed 4 out of 10. The branch has gone down hill pretty badly. And as if the food here wasn't poor enough I'm becoming so weary with a growing trend among Chinese and some Indian restaurants that want only cash by claiming to have problems with their credit card machines and I don't believe a word of it. I've been using these cards half a lifetime with almost no difficulty all that time anywhere for instance in the third world, at 40,000 feet in the air or on a ship 1,600 miles from the nearest land without a hitch. Yet in the last week I've encountered two Chinese and one Indian restaurant all alleging card machine issues. It's cheapskate tactics to avoid a charge already built - in to the prices or worse a tax dodge. These places also won't take a cheque. Time to start refusing my hard earned money to such crooks. It was a stormy day and blowing a gale as we drove into the car park. It's been quite a time since we last were here. We arrived just at lunch time opening at noon. The place was quite cosy when we went in. A flat screen tv on the wall was on with the sound turned down. It had the text displayed. Kenny Rodgers sang in the background throughout. We were the only two sit-in guests the whole time that we were there, although a few folk came in for takeaway food. There's a two course special lunch menu at £8.50, but if you opt for a king prawn or a squid main courses another £3 is added. There's a price hike for duck mains too. The two course lunch selection didn't have one of the dishes we wanted (salt & chilli pork chop) so we had a quarter crispy duck with (6) pancakes for two as a starter. The pancakes were microwaved not steamed. So three of the six pancakes were hard because they were microwaved for too long. We had the salted chilli pork, fried rice and a salt & chilli king prawn and boiled rice. Microwaved pancakes aside most of the food was really very good indeed with a great balance of chilli heat in the mains. The portions were ok, not generous. The service was reasonably prompt and the chap serving was pleasant and welcoming. The food bill came in about £24. Borderline four star.

    I didn't rate this place very highly, it's a lovely looking place but the food felt cheap and…read morepre-prepared and not worth what I was paying
