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.

Located just north of the Port Charlotte Hotel, this spot is right on the coast, perfectly situated for a lovely seafood meal.

Dessert was a staff favorite, Nutella cheesecake with double cream. Roll me out now... highly recommend trying to get in here. Prices are what you'd expect for such fresh seafood and great service.

My daughter and I travelled a long distance after seeing your advertisements stating that small pets are welcome in the bar area. We brought our small pedigree miniature Bichon, who I was carrying in my arms when we arrived. There was an unreserved table for two available inside, but we were told we had to sit outside. When I politely asked why we couldn't sit at the empty table, the manager snapped at us in front of other customers and said, "If you want to sit there, you need to order now," while handing us the menu. There were a number of people behind us waiting and others in the bar listening, which made the whole situation very embarrassing. As I started to read the menu, the manager then changed her mind and told us we could only order soup or chowder. We were no longer allowed to order anything else. I simply couldn't understand why we were being treated differently when there was an available table and your venue advertises that small pets are welcome in the bar. What upset me most wasn't just that we couldn't have a meal--it was the way we were made to feel. We had travelled a considerable distance in good faith, expecting a warm welcome, only to leave feeling embarrassed, singled out and unwelcome. As a dog owner, I find it deeply disappointing that genuinely pet-friendly hospitality is still so difficult to find in Ireland. Our dogs are part of our families. We don't expect special treatment--just honesty in advertising and to be treated with the same courtesy and respect as any other customer. We left without eating, feeling hurt and ashamed. I hope this review encourages a more compassionate approach towards customers who travel with well-behaved pets.

Newbridge Restaurant sits just off a roundabout, and my friend and I had been sightseeing in Northern Ireland, and we were STARVED, after a hard cold day. We saw it in passing, and went back around the roundabout because it was 7 hours since breakfast and were dropping from starvation. The interior was equally inviting, and warm!! The building is inviting, no doubt about it, and the car park pleasantly full, so you knew it could be decent food. The menu was 2 courses for 12 Pounds, which a lot of UK/Irish places feature, and i had expected there's be a limited menu, but such was not the case - it was fairly extensive, and even had specials. I got Spicy Pear and Parsnip Soup with homemade wheaten bread to start, she got Portobello Mushroom with Blue Cheese, Rocket, Sunblush Tomatoes, Red Onion, Parmesan and Balsamic. I have to say this soup was an absolute delight, and i congratulate the use of the humble (Yet hard to find a decent one in Alaska) parsnip, it was superb, with a kick of heat to elevate it. Just a touch of sweetness from the pear, but it was sublime. The wheaten bread, used extensively throughout Irish restaurants was delicious and hearty, and a perfect accompaniment to the creamy thick soup. She adored her gigantic portobello, which was full of cheesy goodness. For our entrees, i selected the Italian Chicken which was a butterflied breast, topped with Parma ham wrapped around Brie, and a rocket salad with balsamic, she went for the Wild Mushroom Linguine, which was drizzled with truffle oil. I must say, it was different than anything I've had before, the cheese with the Parma ham was a really delicious enhancement, to the chicken which can sometimes be bland, but not on this occasion. The rocket and balsamic were beautiful. She couldn't finish her linguine - pasta can be filling i find, she did enjoy the selection of mushrooms. Despite the fact that the prix fixe was 2 for 12 pounds, we opted to get a dessert regardless. Just because we'd earned it, with some hard walking that day. She got a chocolate brownie with fudge sauce, and whipped cream, and i got a banana sundae that i simply could not finish. All in all, it was a delicious meal.

Nine Months…read more That's how long it's taken for me to find a steak and service here in Northern Ireland comparable, or even better than the steak I ate and southern hospitality service I experienced for 7.5 years in Texas... and I found it here at The Newbridge. So we were in Portrush for the day, heading to Belfast to drop my brother off at the bus and I mention I'm hungry, its dinner time, we should stop somewhere. Going on no other information than the car park was packed, we hung a u-turn and pulled in. No reservation, Friday night, packed car park, I expected to be told to sling my hook, or wait 40 minutes for a table, but the nice host even helped find a threenager appropriate table upstairs for us to sit at, no wait - excellent first impression. The blonde dude upstairs (I didn't catch his name) got us sorted with drinks quickly, order in, starters came out in good time. Col enjoyed the black pudding scotch egg, my brother, threenager and I enjoyed the garlic cheese ciabatta. But the mains were the moneyshot. Col had the shredded duck w/ sweet potato fries, brother had the beef chili penne w/ salt and chili chips, threenager had the chicken penne carbonara and I had the fillet steak w/ chips and veggies for the table. I. can't. even. On how good this food was. My steak was cooked to perfection - exactly the way I asked (which, as it turns out, has been difficult for NI chefs to accomplish to date), and not an ounce of fat to be seen! My brothers chili wasn't a traditional chili as you'd expect, it had a sweet chili element to it, but it was delicious, that and his salt and chili chips packed a hot punch, but he loved it. Cols duck was tasty and plentiful and the threenager splatter-painted the entire top floor of the restaurant with carbonara sauce while gleefully shouting "mmmmm delicious!" I really wanted to try dessert, but told blonde dude (sorry, blonde dude, I wish I'd asked your name but by the end of the meal felt it was rude to be all "here bai what's yer name?") I was in a rush, he told me I could get it to go - so I ordered salted caramel cheesecake, cause I thought it'd be easiest to eat on my knee. Confession time: I *may* have acquired one of y'all's forks to take with me so I could eat my dessert on the way to the train station. But rest assured I'll get it back to you - promise! With that said, the cheesecake was devoured on my knee. We all thought it was delicious. Not a single bad thing to say about this place, from easy and plentiful parking, to the absolute nicest staff in any restaurant in the north I've been in in my nine months being back home, to the most delicious steak I've had in a long time and incredibly well priced too! I now need a nap...And to plan a re-visit before our next expat adventure begins! Check this place out for sure!!

This is the most amazing pub in the world, unless it's just when we visit!…read moreOn our first ever visit ti Islay, we were staying in a boarding house very close to the pub so we had to try it out. On entering we found a local guy singing Elvis songs to the jukebox with a broom in his hands as a mike stand! We thought the usual - Here's a drunk!, but, no. He asked us very nicely if we had any requests and proceeded to play, and sing, them. After a few drinks it was our turn to request, and sing! By the end of the night, a singing group, booked to play in the nearby hotel had found they had no audience and come into the Ardview to join in! The selection of drinks was excellent considering the problems of getting stocks (apart from malt whiskies, of course!) and we were accepted as part of the family within a very short time. The next day, locals were stopping to talk in the street and say how much they'd enjoyed the night - yet it was down to them! Magical!
