   Called last minute for a reservation and they made sure they could fit the two of us in. Wonderful seats upstairs looking out over Belfast Lough. The service was friendly, relaxed, efficient and fun. And the food was glorious. We ordered Mussels and Crabs claw starters, they were large and filling. For main course we had Pan fried Salmon with sauted potatoes and Smoked Haddock with champ. Again absolutely delicious. Great meal, great venue, great value.

   Witnessing Stormy seas from the comfort of a warm seat with a good meal is fantastic. Food was good, the only criticism is the buttermilk chicken burger tasting a bit like a roast dinner. Would recommend this to anyone visiting that is looking for a scenic meal.

   A charming authentic bar with splendid seafood and views across the bay. Upstairs will give you a little better aspect of the water, but downstairs was perfectly fine and the seafood chowder, mussels and crab claws all went down a treat with a pint of Guinness. Recommended, honest food and prices.

   I hoped to have really enjoyed this experience but it was just ok. Came on a lovely sunny day so expected to wait on a table which I did but not as long as I thought. Once getting my table I sat for 20 minutes waiting on someone to take my drink order. I felt invisible as it was only me at the table and not a waiter came by to take an order so I took myself up to the bar to which I was told I am not allowed I need to wait. The girl came over straight after I made them aware I wanted to order, I also had to get my own menu from the bar as no one offered me one. I told her I’m ready to order food as soon as she brought my drinks as I was not waiting another 20 minutes to order. My food came out in alright time around 10 minutes as soon as I received it I noticed a hair on my fries so again I had to call a waiter. I did get new fries brought to me but I had to wait again. The steak was overcooked, I asked for medium and got a well done steak. My total bill came to £50 which is absolutely ridiculous as I wasted 2 hours here and had more hassle than anything. Wouldn’t recommend coming here.

   Very nice with big portions. I had the sausages and mash, which was a huge portion, but I would recommend ordering some extra gravy. My partner ordered the veggie roast, and it was lovely as well, but lacking some imagination as it was simply vegetables. Overall everything was tasty and great value, the staff were super friendly as well. It's only dog friendly outside.

   First time going there after a friend suggested it and we absolutely loved it.The place is quaint and warm,they have an open fire which we were sitting next too(though there was a draft from the kitchen).The staff are friendly.The service was fast and efficient. The food tasted absolutely amazing and the portion sizes were huge.We ended up sharing a dessert as we were really full but wanted to taste.l made the mistake of ordering my meal(desperate dan) without champ as l dont like it but it would definitely have been better with champ.We will be going back for more.

   Lovely seafood restaurant / bar, just a few steps from the sea shore. The train station is also close by, which is nice. They have good number of lagers and ales of different brands on tap. All the meals are for a reasonable price and very tasty. I can recommend their Pan Fried Hake and Nelty's nachos. Excellent!

   It's such a great little pub. The food is excellent, but I love coming here for the garden. And Kobe the Barbarian agrees. Also the real ale selection is great, much better than in town with all the usual beers.
