Disappointed to say the least. went today for Sunday lunch. Restaurant was cold. Had to ask for gravy with my Sunday lunch. Did not receive any roast potatoes with dinner. they arrived when we had finished nearly all of our dinner. The parsnips were were rock hard and unpleasant to eat. my husband order the pavlova with was just crunchy meringue. not enough attention to detail. Should really do better.

I expected much more from a restaurant in a hotel like this. I was staying there and came down for dinner. I got a table quite quickly, but the tables were placed so close together that I had to listen to other people’s conversations the entire evening. The staff seemed tired by that time of day, so I had to wait quite a while each time I needed something. The food was just okay — definitely not at the level you’d expect from such a place. I wouldn’t order the same dishes again.

Expected lots more… Breakfast, started by queuing for over 30 minutes for a table, when told at check in that no reservation was required.. reminded me of Ryanair plane boarding… can’t fault any of the food at breakfast, was very tasty! Dinner, very expensive, double the price of what you would pay elsewhere! Paid £22 for a burger placed on a huge empty plate, £6 for a side of chips (not cooked in the middle).. Breakfast was great quality (except the queues), dinner was below average! Ps, they don’t serve Coca Cola.. Pepsi only..

Gillies Grill is a great spot, no two ways about it. The breakfast? Hands down the best I’ve ever had—buffet perfection! Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely spot-on. The mains were just as good, full of flavour and beautifully cooked. Get the Lamb! The service was brilliant as well—everyone was friendly and efficient. That said, the starters and desserts didn’t quite hit the same heights. Not bad by any means, but compared to the rest of the menu, they felt a bit like an afterthought. A bit more love in those departments, and this place would be unstoppable.

I ate at Gillies recently while staying at Galgorm and was quite disappointed by our meal. The fish cake to start was quite tasty and I would recommend the steak as a main as it was flavourful and cooked very nicely. However, the service was seriously lacking. It took a long time to order and we had long gaps between courses. We had a different server for literally every interaction so it was impossible to know who to even look for. I was at the Galgorm to celebrate a birthday celebration, I requested that the waiter bring out a dessert for the birthday and it never came. I was really unimpressed with this. Although the food was tasty enough for a hotel restaurant, had this meal not been included in our hotel package I would have been shocked at the prices. Fine dining prices for average hotel food. £11 for bread for the table is absurd. Gillies unfortunately lets down Galgorm as a resort, the service everywhere else in the hotel is impeccable.

Atmosphere poor. Food nice ( what you'd expect for the price.) Drinks overpriced but all in all a lovely treat for a night out. Staff very helpful and friendly. Went to the bar after and they served me whiskey in a tall glass ....At the price I shouldn't have to ask for a whiskey glass.
