We called in for a bite to eat around 7pm. It was totally unplanned and there were quite a few diners in for a Tuesday evening. My husband and I went for the wine and dine menu and my daughter just opted for a main but shared our starters as they are so generous. We had been in a few weeks ago and my husband tried the Hong Kong chicken as a starter and loved it so opted for this as a main. He said it was better than any Chinese restaurant. We love Donegans because of the service from Lynne and Ivan as well as the excellent food. You never leave hungry here. Our bill was about £62! This included wine and a few soft drinks too! Excellent value for money. It really is the best place to eat in Bangor and we are frequent visitors as are many others. The staff know their regulars and I believe this speaks volumes! Give it a try.

The best of international cooking using great local produce served with flair.

This is a real hidden gem. The food was the best food that i have had for ages. It is more expensive than other restaurants in the area, but dining here is a real experience. I strongly recommend for any foodies visiting the area. It is a smal restaurant, with a cosy feel to it. We had the 5 course tasting menu, and it was absolutely beautiful in every way, the food, the presentation and the service. I cannot fault the staff in any way, the service was absolutely perfect. I have been to many fine dining restaurants in my time, but few that can compare to this. It was great value for the quality of the food and service.I highly recommend this restaurant.

We just fancied a good night out somewhere we love, no other excuse was needed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the regular menu, and we have some favourites on it, but Gary and Louise always seem to come up with specials that are that wee bit, well, 'special'. There were four of us in the party and we all went for the specials. Our wives had the Seafood Mornay while us husbands had Devilled Kidneys and Tournedos Rossini. I couldn't enjoy my meal properly, my gub was aching after a visit to the dentist that morning, but the others had a great time. Hopefully next time we're back I won't have a sore bake. We finished with tea/coffee and desserts. Service and food were excellent as always. As the famous Arnold Schwarzthingy said in a film or two 'I'll be back'.Delighted that you chose #undergroundding for your night out. Thank you so much for your kind compliments. Look forward to seeing you again and hopefully not having had to visit the dentist beforehand.#ugdiningbangor#undergrounddining

We had decided to try this restaurant after checking the menus, as my OH doesnât eat any vegetables what so ever and and it can be hard to find somewhere that he has a choice other than fish & chips, chicken goujons or burger, he settle for the fish cake starter but had to yet again choose a burger as everything else had veg somewhere in it, both our starters were nice, I had the chicken spring roll, he did find the burger turned out dry by the time he got half way through it, but it was very tasty, I choose the chicken & beef in peppercorn sauce with a side of salad instead of the potatoes, although the food was, as I say nice it was the service that let this place down, there was three members of staff on the evening we were there and although pleasant, none of them went out of their way to see if we were happy with everything, the bill was asked for and left on the table, we put the debit card on the saucer but nobody made any move to come and take our payment, two members of staff walked past a few times, so we headed to the bar area to pay, maybe this is what you are suppose to do but if they had said when they brought the bill we would have known what to do, we were not asked if we enjoyed our meal or if everything was ok, so sorry guys but we will not be back. Hi DavidI am so sorry to read about your awful visit with us that has left you and your OH feeling like you would not come back. Actually sorry I have just read your review and can't see why you have left just so unhappy.I have spoken to my staff and let them know I am disappointed that they didn't check if you were enjoying your meal as we pride ourselves on doing this. We do not rush to get customers money but perhaps they should have noticed your card or you or your OH could also have just requested they bring the card machine to your table. If you had let them know your OH didn't like vegetables or if your OH had said himself we could have done most of the dishes without vegetables and offered something in their place. Sometimes it is only a matter of asking rather than writing!!!!I hope maybe you read your review back and realise it is a little harsh to say you won't return due to a couple of tiny things and we prove to you next time we do welcome everyone to our restaurantNicky CaugheyDirector

First time here and it was really nice although very casual cafe style restaurant especially at the time I was there 4.30 - 6.30. Good choice on the menus and alcohol available to purchase too. Staff attentive and friendly. Four stars only because it was a bit too family friendly ie screaming babies. However it was early and people with screaming babies need a life too.

We had heard a lot about this place and had read the reviews. Our expectations were therefore raised. The service was particularly slow with a large portion of the wine consumed before our orders were taken. The menu was indeed extensive and looked promising however the end product did not live up to expectations. Unfortunately rather average. We have eaten in a large number of fish restaurants around the world but this one is some way off the pace. Closer to home the Boat House on the island of Gigha and Cafe Fish in Tobermory are hugely better. Overall not worth the drive to Kircubbin.HiThanks for taking the time to leave a review which has left us all quite shocked!I would love to hear from you to confirm when you dined with us, what you had that was rather average, to discuss the service as it does not ring any bells with our manager or supervisors who do not remember any diners waiting any length of time more than usual to place an order, or any diners who consumed a large portion of wine while waiting, or when checked while dining if there was any problems/issues with their chosen dishes.I'm delighted you have eaten in a lot of restaurants around the world but to say we are off the pace is laughable, we are booked well in advance, we serve only fresh local ingredients, we will keep doing what we do and we do very well, obviously the other diners who leave a review on tripadvisor do not know what they are talking about!By recommending to people the Boat House on the Island of Gigha and Cafe Fish in Tobermory (closer to home HELLO) you could maybe supply the ferry to get the customers from Northern Ireland over to Scotland.I look forward to hearing from you, please ring me on 028427 38222.CheersLeigh
