Bold Flavors & Lively Atmosphere at The Exchange - Derry, Ireland/UK…read more **If you love spicy food, you'll be thrilled. If not, ask your server for a gentler option... the kitchen doesn't hold back!!!** We had a fantastic dinner at The Exchange. The starters; Mediterranean olives, bruschetta, and garlic breads, were fresh and flavorful. For mains, the Exchange Burger and chilli fillet steak in pitta bread brought serious heat. Desserts were indulgent: the double chocolate brownie was rich and satisfying, and the sticky toffee pudding had a perfect melt-in-your-mouth finish. Heads-up: The place gets lively and a bit loud in the evenings, so if you're after a quiet meal, consider dining earlier. Otherwise, it's a vibrant spot with bold flavors and great service.

We dined in the Boathouse, Disney Springs, Orlando two weeks ago but this wonderful place beats it…read morehands down by a very long way in terms of the charming service, and, very importantly, the quality and flavour of the food on our plates. Only the climate and setting were better in dismal Disney. This place was buzzing on a Monday night - just as busy as the Boathouse was on a Saturday night - oh enough about bloody awful money - grabbing Disney. I had a fillet steak with tobacco onions, champ & pepper sauce (£15.75). I asked for the steak medium cooked but it was nearer to rare and that didn't bother me a jot. The flavour of the steak was wonderful. The champ could have been warmer, the tobacco onions were just perfection and the pepper sauce moreish. My wife opted for chicken fajitas (£12.75) - the portion was generous and she said the all important 'smokey' sauce was delicious. There were three flour tortillas together with mini pots of guacamole and sour cream. The mashed guacamole was slightly underripe, which we prefer, the only suggestion here is when using underripe avocado add a very generous amount of fresh lime juice. I had a good cappuccino (£2.5) and my wife a generous glass of Sauvignon blanc (£6.15). The home-made desserts really looked inviting, but I'm afraid whilst the spirit was more than willing the flesh simply couldn't cope. In short bloody good place.

We tried to come in the night before but the place was booked solid so we got takeout and called…read moreto make a reservation for the following evening. We arrived a little early and were asked to wait while they prepared our table. We waited at some high tops next to the bar which were very clean and comfortable. The bar itself is very warmly lit and seems quietly intimate. Great place for a date though, in this case, we had our kids with us. Over all, the food and the service were excellent. The menu had a wide selection that would likely suit anyone's needs. We had a variety of food but I would say the stand out were the buffalo wings. As an American I can be fairly particular about my wings and I would put these up against most that I've had at home. Really, the only concern that I had was that about a half hour into dinner a group of rowdy girls were seated next to us. They were obviously out for a night on the town and I don't know that I would have sat them next to a family with small children... But again, I'm not sure that it could've been avoided. Overall one of the best dining experiences we had while in Northern Ireland and I would highly recommend it to anybody. As we visit often we will definitely be back!

Met some of "the boys", Ill leave it at that, there and they took us up to the Creggan and the Celtic which most tourists dont go to. Great bartender there named Sean and we met more of "the boys" there and drank with them all night. Actually met a guy that played for Celtic soccer in Glasgow was sitting right next to me. One of the guys in the group was shot in the face by British soldiers back during the troubles. The night could have went either way but after really knowing who we were and what we stood for they rolled out the red carpet and it was one of the best times Ive had in 5 trips to Ireland. Certainly not a bar for everyone, and this was 5-6 years ago, but it was right up my buddy and I s alley!

We stopped in for an early dinner on a Monday and were delighted to find the bar with plenty of…read moretables. We were greeted and seated immediately, but the service fell apart after that. The bartender was covering the whole place, but only one other group was having drinks. I don't usually worry when servers don't write down your order, but this lad didn't get anything right and never came back to check on us. Even after walking to the bar to ask for another drink and telling him our order wasn't right, he didn't bring us more drinks. We had to return to the bar a second time and ask before someone else finally brought us drinks. We ordered the cauliflower wings and feta bruschetta for starters, and once we got the right food, they were pretty good. But our main course, veg stir fry, and curry were both utterly bland. Not sure if we just caught them on a rough night, but we didn't have a great experience.

We sat at one of the tables right in the windowand a charming young man took our drinks orders, waiting patiently while number one son deliberated carefully between orange and blackcurrant cordial. Not an impatient sigh to be heard so definitely a good start. Around us was a complete mix of people, ladies having coffee (never understand people who go to a pub and have coffee but let's not judge), young guys having lots of pints and other families. We were lucky in getting our seats at the window and enjoyed the beautiful views of the sea and cliffs, just breathtaking. I was equally delighted by the fact thatthey serve mini bottles of Chardonnay as most bars seem to serve only that vinegary muck known as sauvignon. The kids were quite noisy but not out of control noisy and everyone seemed happy with that. Well, I was anyway. Only downside was that they had no crisps which for us are a must when you're not having a meal. A great spot for day drinks for a family ot group of friends.

It is also a wine bar on top of this. I had the cheesy garlic bread to start. It was good but it could have done with a bit more garlic flavour. For my main course, I went with the fish and chips which were delicious - and a huge portion! For dessert I had banoffee pie which was really nice as well. The staff that served us were very friendly and quick, and our food didn't really take too long to arrive even though it was a Friday night and the place was packed out. The restaurant (including toilets) was clean and well kept. There is also a wine shop underneath but I would recommend going to Tesco/Asda though because it is a bit more expensive than them.
