Very busy in Cameron’s restaurant today and still serving turkey dinners which looked amazing. More limited selection of coffee snacks as fewer staff and only back after holidays.. Service as always prompt and efficient. Good prices considering the high quality of foods and drinks offered.

Restaurant Sorrento is the only place I choose to eat while shopping with friends and family! Homemade, beautiful food and fantastic service! You are always welcomed in with a smile and the friendly atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Will definitely be back!Thanks for your review. Our manager and five full time cooks and bakers do try hard to produce nearly all the our food home made or home baked, using local suppliers as much as possible, and our staff out front we hope are always helpful and friendly. - Yes please do come back - you and all our customers are always welcome.

Went here for breakfast recently. Served promptly. Had a bacon and egg bap. Bacon was really salty and a lot of fat around it and the bap was soggy. Tables were sticky and dirty. Have ate here before and it has went downhill recently.

Reviewed By Harbourlady

I visited this new social enterprise recently and was warmly welcomed by Mary and the Glenariff Improvement Group who progressed this lovely café. Set in beautiful surroundings on the beach at Waterfoot it really is worth a visit. I enjoyed morning tea with scones served in lovely china cups and service with a welcoming smile. By visiting the café you are supporting a local social enterprise so another good reason to visit!

Having decided to give in here a try again after not coming in for a good while I was surprised to notice a charge for water on the menu which I can’t believe is standard practice. When I was asking for something not to be included in my meal our server kept trying to make us take the item as “the food would be nicer with it” now I have seen why I stopped coming here in the first place.

Reviewed By robertandsimone

Not quite getting the rave reviews...the positives:Cool location, nice decor, frys not greasy, prices not over the top...The negatives:5 mushrooms isn't a portion, disappointing that price of fry increases significantly after 11.30, sausages not great quality, bacon salty, weren't asked until we were paying if everything was ok.If passing and hungry would call in but wouldn't go out of my way...

Nobel Cafe

Reviewed By Irene M

Its always busy here and I have to say the food is always good. Its relatively cheap, and even though there's a queue, you never have to wait that long. The breakfasts are super value, although I normally just opt for the soup. The girls are always friendly and nice and overall its very good.
