We had never visited here for breakfast but since our preferred establishment was closed for refurbishments we called in, and I'm very glad we did.The menu is more extensive than I had imagined, but we opted for a standard mini fry of bacon, sausage and egg with potato and soda bread. It was cooked in a flash and was delicious. We also took a couple of filled rolls for the journey home and will have them at tea time.

Was looking forward to our fish supper but the whole experience was disappointing. Whilst both the cod and chips were cooked fresh while we waited they were tasteless when eaten.At £18.20 for 2 fish suppers and 1 peas this was some 30% dearer than the same from our local chippie back home.

We had lunch during a excursion. No expectation but what a nice meal. 3 buses were served at the same time withiut any delay. the staff was perfect. Beef was excellent. Just beside the famous Royal Portrush Golf Club (The Open 2019). Would stay there at another independant travel.

Good service. Old fashioned lobby, bar and restaurant. Sunday lunch - traditional. Fish and chips with mushy peas excellent. One person had two appetizers: chicken tempura and something else (can't remember). Two had three meat special (turkey, ham and beef) with potatoes. TUrkey and ham good. beef not so much. but we were happy with all else.Thank you for taking the time to tell us of your recent visit. delighted to hear you had such a great lunch, I have noted your comments regarding the beef and will the Chef address this. I very much hope that this will not deter you from returning again in the future. Hope to see you again next time. Many thanks.

Our first visit. Gin & tonics in small glasses with two ice cubes and a wafer thin slice of lemon wasnât a great start. My mussels were OK but my wifeâs duck was pretty tough. In true Ulster style we didnât complain, but I doubt that we will be back. Both the bistrot and the restaurant were pretty dead on a Friday night, but I think that a lot of the trade is at lunchtime when booked coach parties call in.It feels like somewhere with a lot more potential, just needs a little injection of style.

I was with a tour group and we stopped in for a "Carvery Lunch" at Bushmills Inn. Ham, Beef, and chicken were available, and all was delicious. We went through a buffet line where servers dished out whatever you indicated. The food was luxurious, and from the looks of it, this is a very pleasant place to stay.

I popped in with my two kids as one of them was hungry and it was right beside Dunluce Castle, where I wanted to get some photos of them. The service was prompt and polite, and the raspberry roulade was amazing!! My youngest devoured a beautifully presented cheese and ham sandwich, while my eldest enjoyed her cup of tea. This wasnât my first visit here, and it certainly wonât be my last.

We decided to spend our first night at the Tartine Restaurant and were not disappointed.Excellent food and service, generous portions and atmosphere. The highlights of the evening are numerous but would recommend Oysters Rockefeller, Beef Brisket and Sirloin, Cheese and Biscuits. Would certainly return if next in Northern Ireland . Thank you for an enjoyable evening
