Wee Cottage

Reviewed By 73lwot

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 wasn’t my first visit here, and it certainly won’t be my last.

Reviewed By Kimxoxo

I recently booked the quays for my mum's retirement party. The staff were more than happy to decorate the room for me and very accommodating when I needed to change the buffet time. Carrie and Jamie provided excellent customer service by continually asking about the food and keeping our wee party room tidy. George the barman asked us later on if everything was ok which was a nice personal touch as the bill was already paid. Good customer service goes a long way. We will definitely be back.

Traditional bar and Bistro international menu ,with live music each night open everyday closed Christmas day

Reviewed By GazF211118

The restaurant really lets the bar part of this establishment down.The bar is great and has character and the Guinness is great but the restaurant is another story!The food was extremely average considering the waiting times, we weren’t the only table that this was happening to, there were a number of tables around us that were getting frustrated. We eventually got our starter and finished this and waited another 30 mins and no member of the waiting staff came near us. I had to go and get someone to clear our table & get our mains which as previously mentioned were hardly worth the wait.I know this is a well known tourist area and it can be busy at times but there is no excuse for shabby service, the waiting staff really didn’t give a hoot they were just going through the motions. Definitely will return to the bar but won’t be eating here again.

Harry's Shack

A little beach shack right on the sand serving the best of local fish and home grown vegetables in a relaxed environment. Book in, and enjoy

Reviewed By Criticus_Maximus

I love the whole ethos of Harry’s - easy, casual and right on the beach so that you can l take a long walk before or after along lunch. However, it’s lost it’s edge - too many restaurants become complacent with early success. We had the fish and chips - batter was not very tasty and even worse, soft. Chunky chips were bland and the tartare sauce was just about ok. At nearly £15 a dish I came away feeling I wished I’d gone to the local chippy. Vegetarian options were limited. Service was friendly and amiable. The restaurant looked tired and lacking in love with empty shelves across the whole of one wall. Overall dull and tired and a disappointing experience. Needs to get its vibe back.

The Anchor Bar Complex

Reviewed By egwanderlust

I am unsure if we entered the wrong location for dining but this restaurant had a very small menu and also small portions. The nachos I ordered had a delicious sauce but I wish they served more of it.Although the food was below average I would still recommend this place for a few drinks. Their Irish Coffee was some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was very relaxing and we met some nice people. I would come here again during the Summer season if we ever returned. Portstewart is a beautiful seaside town.
