Chris and the staff offer a warm welcome and excellent guide through the menu. Fabulous choice on offer from fish to Chechen and the local meat recommended. Service is efficient friendly and a great value for money restaurant. We have returns many times and it never fails to deliver on quality.

Loved it. Early bird meal deal was great value and the steak we had was cooked to perfection. Thoroughly enjoyed it and the staff were lovely. Older staff really on the ball, my son spilt water on the table and she was straight in with a towel.Younger staff ( girl who took our order) so pleasant. Lovely staff and meal was lovely. Definitely a gem! Family from Carrick!

My wife and I were visiting Ballycastle and returned to enjoy this restaurant. We were not disappointed. The food is absolutely amazing. So delicious I cannot find the right words to justify it. I would just recommend that you visit and try for yourself. The service is excellent. Friendly efficient staff who are very attentive.

Took an hour from ordering to bringing the starter due to ‘lost’order in the kitchen. We felt that crab starters were overcooked and one fish main was undercooked. Agreed to disagree with manager over this but he did not charge for these dishes in any event. With these things having gone wrong it spoilt the evening for our party of 6 which was a shame as we could see that had the service time and all dishes been OK, then the whole experience would have been enjoyable. Although not charging for the dishes in dispute, the management were not particularly apologetic for the overall poor experience.
