"We've been visiting Portstewart for many years, but this was our first time at Amici. We were pleased with the attentive service, along with the high-quality food and wine. It was a nice surprise to see our friend Martin there with his family celebrating his birthday. The portions were generous, and the food was quite rich—especially the salmon pasta with lemon sauce that I had. There were plenty of options on the menu, but unfortunately, we couldn't manage to squeeze in one of the beautifully presented desserts. As for dietary considerations, there was a small but thoughtfully curated vegan menu, and the waiter and chef were very helpful in providing dairy-free alternatives for us."

"Heard so many good reviews about Quays gastro bar in portrush so called in on a Friday around 7.00pm. It was quite busy with holiday families however we had a short wait in the beer garden which was very pleasant and had a beer during our wait for restaurant. The restaurant itself was in contrast to the beer garden was very dark in fact the walls were painted black and ambiance not great for a dining experience (we would have been happy sitting in the enclosed section of the beer garden) The meal itself was fair to poor, my rump steak texture was not like it should be I had the feeling it was put through some sort of tenderising process and not great like a good steak freshly cooked should be, garlic fries were just ok. My wife chicken strips coated in breadcrumbs the coating so salty she could not eat them, I am more salt tolerant but they were so salty I could not eat them either. We are not people who complain and the staff were very pleasant and I did leave a tip. So Quays I have to say huge disappointment and will not return."

"My partner and I brought our dog with us to the restaurant and asked for seating recommendations. We were seated at a table out front where smokers were coming and going from inside. We were informed that there was a heater, but it only provided warmth for about 2 minutes. The canopy above us was dripping due to the rain, and the ground was sloped in a way that caused flooding in some areas. Our dog ended up getting wetter while leaving than when he arrived, as he had to lay on a wet paved area. The music was extremely loud, making conversation impossible. Despite requesting for it to be turned down, it never happened. We had to eat facing the street, with passersby checking out our food. Additionally, a drinks delivery lorry arrived and the deliverymen made a lot of noise as they passed by us. One of them even spat on the ground. The barman/manager seemed indifferent when I mentioned that the food was good but the seating was not ideal. Instead, he chose to chat with two young ladies and their dog at the table next to us."

Morelli's To Go!

"Visited here with a few family members, overall ice cream was good but the standard of service was very poor making the Morelli’s experience disappointing. I’m assuming the lady with the blond hair, wearing no uniform (apron) or hair net, walking about with keys hanging from her (displaying a safe key); “isn’t very security conscious”, is the manager/supervisor; not customer orientated in the slightest. I felt when asking her about the flavours she was annoyed and had no patience and just wanted me out of the “road”. I imagine that customer service isn’t at the fore front of this business as they get the footfall anyway and don’t have to provide any level of service, shame really as I remember visiting the “old Morelli’s” back in the day during the 80’s, it was a very personal place then. However the ice cream was good just the service let the experience down."

Saffron Indian

"Our view on Saffron is a bit different to most of the reviews. The number of good reviews on Trip Advisor encouraged us to try Saffron. But we found the food bland our dishes tasted quite similar and the Kadhai Paneer was much more salty than is pleasant. We normally find that Indian restaurants make good use of the variety of spices with quite different blends in different dishes whereas Saffron’s dishes are all similar in taste. Their equivalent of Bombay potato came in a curry sauce, which I have never had before as it usually comes without a curry sauce. I appreciate that some people may prefer a relatively bland taste but I think this misses out on the wonderful blends of spices which some restaurants achieve."
