Stellar service!! I mean, I don't know if it was intentional but it felt like a floating service…read more We had plenty of waitstaff the kept our drinks full and made sure our orders came out hot! 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 great place for a chill glass of wine or Guinness while watching sports…read more I was told by one of the British Open parking attendants to come here to get a drink. I walked up the hill and there it was. Lot of people standing outside on the patio but no seats. I went in to the small bar on the lower level and a very friendly male bartender waited on me. I wandered upstairs to the second level where it was a huge space and had plenty of big screen TVs for the golf. I found the place to be very comfortable and great views of the water. The young guy at the second level bar was nice but a bit of an airhead (the drink was £11 and I handed him £20, he stood waiting for more money and ummmmmmm didn't I give you a 20? He seemed clueless about the money) We had a laugh but prob a good idea to know what the local money looks like! The top level of this place was an amazing view but it was Sunday afternoon and the bar was not open. Has more of a night feel. It's a fantastic building and I enjoyed my visit.

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.

Next door neighbour to the Ramore and owned by the same people, Coast is my absolute favourite…read morevenue for pizza and pasta. Now when I say pizza and pasta, please don't think I mean the usual pepperoni pizza and pasta with tomato sauce (although those have their time and place too). Oh, no. Oh, no no no no no. The pizzas and pastas in Coast are (as that old buffer Michael Winner would say) historic. The pizzas are made on a kind of flat bread which is their own recipe and I could eat it plain without a topping it's so good. But not to look odd, I do the right thing and order toppings like everyone else. Again the toppings are unusual are so so good. My favourite is chilli beef and onions. You get loads of lean beautifully marinated beef - my mouth is watering at the very thought. - and at under £6, this is outstanding value. You can throw on extras like rocket, chorizo, pancetta and sun blush tomatoes. Trust me, you have never had pizza this good. Pasta is an equally good choice - the chorizo carbonara is fab. Order a side of garlic bread, let out your belt and surrender to it. The tobacco onions are unmissable too - long strings of onions coated in something delish and deep fried. Coast is very child friendly and can be noisy in the early evenings so you may want to take advantage of the take away service - make sure you ring ahead with your order.

We ordered drinks, the waiter came back to take our order before we had drinks, not even water. Each waiter and server was younger than the last. The food was odd. It seemed like an entire onion shredded and fried on top of almost every meal. And then add chips. My chicken teriyaki had enough meat for a family of four and an entire bottle of teriyaki sauce. Barely any vegetables in the dish, except onion. The other entree was a fried chicken breast on mashed potatoes with an onion fried on top. I don't know what it is trying to be. It's casual, but you can only get a table with a reservation. It was so weird.

Additionally, their music selection is on point. Not a ton of seating, but a simple modern design with lots of natural light, plants & wood (lovely simple decor) indoors and my favorite is the outdoor seating (complete with cozy lawn chairs) right on the water with a great view of the promenade. Absolutely perfect for a sunny day in Portrush. Finding this gem was an absolute win. Haven't tried their food yet but we will be back for some of those tasty brunch items we were drooling over after we got a mad case of food envy watching our neighbors order get delivered.

The Breakfast Wrap is a delightful burrito, wrapping eggs and the meats of the Ulster fry inside a large tortilla. Is it me or does the beef taste more like beef? Loved their Cheeseburger - good patty and a fluffy roll. We didn't realize how much they were gouging us up at Giant's Causeway. The portions here are bigger, the quality better, for literally less than half the cost! Really sweet little cafe. Would absolutely eat here again.

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.

Been here several times for food after a day of trekking around Portrush…read more The one thing you are always guaranteed here is slow service. The biggest issue here is most of the food is made to order rather than having a steady supply of food ready. More often than not they are queued right out the door, again this is due to the person taking the orders disappearing after every order to do some seemingly imaginary task out the back, before returning to take the next order. They offer telephone orders so this also contributes to the extraordinary waiting time. Wanna beat the queue, ring your order through. The food here is just ok. I ordered the goujon special and when I got it home the chicken goujon a where actually closer to nuggets. Given the fact they were so small, I ate my right hand that night. Also the gravy is watery. I would suggest the cod goujons for a hearty feed. Overall the Dolphin is decent and the staff are polite and courteous, they called me "Sir". This pleased me, so I bumped them to 3 stars.

I feel obliged to say from the off that I may have been a bit the worse for wear when I visited the…read moreDolphin, but not so bad that I cannot remember a very fine portion of fish and chips slathered in salt, vinegar and tomato ketchup. Surely the only civilised way to have it, no? The cod was firm and white and the batter suitably thick with a dash of grease. Perfect. The chips were not just so good and I fear they may have seen the deep fat fryer more that once, but hey, there are worse things in life to worry about. And I'm pleased to report that the two cost me a purse friendly £4. High fives to that. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I have cod and chips again? Darn right. But with a side of onion rings next time. Seriously though, the Dolphin does just what you expect it to - serve up lots of portions of fish and chips and pasties and sausages and onion rings. It's not sophisticated and I wouldn't recommend making eye contact with other customers late at night, but it hits the spot.

The more sophisticated big brother of Coast and the Wine Bar, Ramore Oriental will give you equally…read moregood food and a more grown up experience. First of all it's bookable, which means no queuing at busy times. Then there's the food. Oh momma, it's good. As the name suggests, the food is oriental in style and everything I have ever ordered has been sensational, and trust me, I am on a personal mission to work my way through the entire menu. So far, the highlights have been the thai chilli beef, the bang bang chicken hot pot and the turbot tempura. Oh, the turbot tempura, it was just divine. Fresh, perfectly cooked and in a light tempura batter. Heaven. Most main course are about £11 and the turbot was about £14 which is very reasonable for turbot in nice surroundings. Side orders of rice, noodles and stir fried veg are £3 so try a few with your main course. My other favourite thing is the baby bottles of champagne. You can get starters in the Ramore Oriental, which also sets it apart as Coast and The Wine Bar serve only breads as a starter. Try the pork spring rolls with dipping sauce or the prawn tempura, both of which are sublime. Some of the tables are very long which means that you can end up near to another group, but there is also such a happy relaxed atmosphere that that won't be a problem.
