"Went down Ballycastle town for dinner. We had wanted fish and chips and had heard there was a nice chipper at the waterfront but because it was Monday evening it was closed. So Marconi’s restaurant was close by and we managed to get a table. First we waited ages to be served. We didn’t really mind that because we were glad of the table when we hadn’t made a booking. Eventually we were served. Then it took another age for the food to be served. Three out of four of us ordered the battered fish and chips and my daughter ordered the beef burger. When the food came I knew straight away that it wasn’t going to be a nice meal. The battered fish pon all three plates was overcooked to a very dark brown colour with the ends being rock hard crispy. It was also so so greasy. Obviously it is deep fried fish but it’s deep fried everywhere else we get the same dish and the batter is always light and fluffy. We didn’t complain because we were absolutely starving at this stage. The chunky chips were alright, again overcooked but not as much as the fish. It also came with mushy peas. We ate the dish, I shared a small bit with my daughter cause I couldn’t finish it because it was horrible. My sons complained about it also but they ate theirs. We paid up and left. The young members of staff were nice and polite. I left a tip because of that, not the food. When we went back to the hotel all three of us felt a bit sick after the meal. I felt the worst and went to bed hoping to go asleep. An hour and a half later I ended up vomiting the entire meal back up. The boys didn’t. They still felt a bit sick, they said it was one of the worst meals they’ve ever had. I don’t think the fish was in any way gone off, it was the disgusting batter. Surely a restaurant that seems to specialise in fish dishes could manage a nice battered fish. Seemingly not. My daughter said her burger was fine, not bad, not good, just fine. Complete waste of money. Also, I saw a senior member of staff clapping her hands to get the attention of customers to bring them to their table. I was shocked at that behaviour."

Food was ok, the wait was ridiculous it was 45 minutes for a kids meal and even longer for an adults.

Tasty food, good service and great scenic views to Rathlin and Scotland. This sentence is to make up the 100 character count.

Pork chop and carrot soup were delicious. Service was very good, did not wait long. Had a hotel restaurant vibe, generic music, lack of decor.

Service was a little scatty but helpful and friendly. Chairs weren’t overly comfortable for bistro experience. Food was delicious and good portion sizes. Ver carta

Helpful staff when explained I have a milk allergy which often limits the menu for me. They explained what I could eat and enjoyed my menu choice of the steak. A lovely dining experience.

Superb food we had seafood chowder and mussels. Very friendly and helpful staff. It was busy but we didn't wait long for our order to be taken or for our food to arrive. Nice atmosphere, lots of families. Loved the location looking out to the children's playground and the sea. All round great!

We were warmly welcomed inside on a cool, rainy day. The fireplace beckoned and drinks were quickly served. Our table awaited, at our leisure we sat. The menu had something for everyone in our party, including many choices for vegetarians. It was hard to decide what to pick! My choice was the salmon with risotto. It arrived at the table with steam rolling off. It was decadent! I highly recommend Marconi’s for drinks, food or both. The staff will be sure to make it worth your while! Ver carta

This could be great but several things let it down. The service was slow, 20 mins to even order drinks, and an hour to be served our main course. No explanation or effort to build rapport with customers. My fish portion was well cooked but very small, the cauliflower accomplishment was seriously hot...I was expecting curry flavours not to have my eyes water. Luckily my husband likes spicy food so he ate that. Our daughter's chicken was dry. We had to ask twice to get replacement water and drinks with our meal and again twice to get the bill, another 40 min wait. This didn't sit well, with us having pre-booked online which stated we only had the table for an hour and must vacate it by 8pm, so...

Stayed at the hotel attached to this restaurant and the breakfast was good but safe to say dinner was another story. Seated at 7.15pm and drinks order taken and food order. Waited about 35 mins for soup to come down. Heard the table behind us being apologised to about their wait and how there was a mix up in sending their order to the kitchen and they would get a round of free drinks, albeit only coffees but there was 4 of them. At 840pm I asked where our mains were, to be told they were being plated up now. Asked again at 9pm to be told that they were coming down. 9.02pm our plates were set infront of us. No sort of apology other than being told they were very busy. They were not! It's not...

"I would have loved to rate our dining experience at the Ivy House a lot higher but we were to leave somewhat disappointed. The dining area was pleasant and intimate with well appointed decor, the waitress and waiters pleasant, polite and attentive. The varied menu looked very appetising with most tastes catered for. We chose two courses from the main menu, the Duck Breast and a Fish Dish for myself. Contrary to other reviews we were to wait over 40 minutes before the food was presented to us. We were not advised of any delays or even the expected length of time we might have to wait. The food on arrival was well presented and flavoursome although I did not consider two small stem broccoli spears a serving. I also asked the waiter why there was no Samphire to accompany my dish as stated on the menu, this comment was also reinforced by a fellow diner who ate the same dish just prior to me. The waiter advised me that he would ask the chef. I did not receive a response to my question during further table service and subsequently asked the waiter again. On returning the waiter advised me the chef said “he will try to remember to put it on next time”, a somewhat disrespectful comment. The Cheese platter we were presented with was lacklustre and sparse, quince jelly and a small dish of chutney being the predominant feature. For ourselves we did not feel that our dining experience represented good value for money."
