Great seafood served piping hot (I had the scampi, fries & peas - heartily recommended) and good…read moredrinks (the Irish coffee made with Bushmills is excellent), service with a smile, friendly staff, and none of the unpleasantness that plagues so many establishments these days with the convid nonsense - if like me you are mask-exempt, you will find yourself very welcome here! The location is great as it's just a short walk from the harbour. If you're in Donaghadee for a day then you can't go wrong choosing this place for lunch.

Five Stars for the Food and Two Stars for the Service!…read more I'll start with why the service deserved a measly two stars. So we had a booking of nine for 8pm and we walked in at at 8pm on the dot - we were seated at a high long table - not great for socialising - the strange thing was that there were a few tables that wold have been better for us that weren't occupied. Some of our group had arrived 15 minutes earlier and had got their own drinks at the bar but we weren't offered drinks until 20 minutes after we arrived - pretty poor. Next up the food ordering - terrible! There were a few reasons it was terrible; They messed up the sides order, one of us didn't get their side until they were nearly finished the meal. Secondly the serving technique was poor, they slid our meals under the central raised bit of the table which was strange and quite annoying. Finally having walked in at 8pm we were served our mains at 9:10pm - an hour and ten minutes to me seems like a long wait! Ok, that's the negatives out of the way, now on to the positives. I ordered a Medium Rare Surf 'n' Turf and it came out absolutely perfectly cooked - it was literally mouth watering! My side of potato bravas was also excellent. The chorizo was kind of ground up and poured over the potatoes which was right up my street. We also had some flat breads for starters which were great. The ham hock flat bread was particularly good. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great - I love how you can see in to the open kitchen, particularly the meat cooking on the wood fire. So to sum up, three stars is fair - the service really lets it down - they could have made a shed load of money from our party on drinks alone if they were more on the ball!

Oh my. I had an excellent night out in Molly Brown's for my friend's 22nd birthday, and now I'm…read moregoing to tell you alllll about it. You lucky people... First up was a bit of dinner, and this was undoubtedly going to be a good one. Molly Brown's run this 2 courses for £10 offer from 12-9pm Monday to Thursday, and from 12-6pm on Friday and Saturday, which is really very good value for money. There's a huge variety too and definitely something for everyone - from garlic bread starters to roast stuffed pepper mains. I chose the bread and oils starter, which down an absolute treat (including down my top, which didn't go down quite so well...), and for the mains I had a burger which wasn't half a bad 'un. So far so good. We happened to be there on a Thursday night (incidentally, as Geraldine mentioned, quiz night), so we weren't going anywhere any time soon. Between the meal and quiz, we got some drinks (Strawberry Daiquiris were all the rage) and had a bit of craic. Speaking of the daiquiris, I got a lesson in making one from the exceptionally friendly barman. Excellent. The quiz man (who's an absolute hoot) did arrive a good bit late, but we were all so pumped for the quiz (ok, I was), that we didn't mind too much. Throughout all the rounds our team were in second place until the very last round. As Mr Quizmaster announced the scores, we listened for our name and realised we'd come top...with another team! Oooh, the drama. One last tiebreak question, and the first prize was ours. Well, you should have heard the cheers, and the singing along to "We are the Champions"...yes, an exceptionally good night indeed.

I heart Molly's and here's why! This contemporary pub has been open now for a few years on the site…read morethat used to be The Whiskey Haw and it has been a crowd pleaser ever since. On a Thursday night you can drop in for quiz night with the very entertaining quiz host and his half time nibbles...free and yummy! if you win you will receive anything from a bottle of wine to a 24 pack of beers (i know this because our team have won now a few times and we are not geniuses nor do we use our phones!!) They have a long list of cocktails as well as your standard man refreshments - beer! I heart Molly's because they run fantastic little offers every now and again. Sex and the City 2 premier night had a free cocktail, tickets and a bus to the cinema and back for a cheap as chips price! Trips to Down Royal racecourse are also run through the bar - the classic a pint and a bet. Kelvin, the manager, will happily whip you out 'a steak on a stone' from the kitchen while you look at the lovely paintings of local areas by local artists. Seriously, I could go on and on about this place...the food is really good with a starter and a main for a tenner. They even hosted my fiances 30th birthday party for no charge and allowed me to decorate the whole place with pictures of him in his nappy! So accommodating, affordable, friendly and I swear i'm not even getting paid to write this but I am going to print off a copy and take it in and try to get a free cocktail out of it!
