The Ice House Bar And Restaurant, Portstewart

The staff, particularly Katie and the manager Nigel, were very friendly and welcoming. The cocktails we had were delicious. We will definitely be back. Angela and Joyce highly recommend this place.

First time eating here and definately wont be the last. The staff were so friendly. They alone made the visit worthwhile, but the food was also exceptional.. the most delicious burger I've eaten in a while.

Ordered a pasta dish and had been waiting over an hour for it to even be served with meals being served all around us, the dish was bland with very little flavour and was very unevenly cooked, would not recommend Ver carta

Absolutely incredible bar, amazingly friendly professional and helpful staff..their espresso martini is one of if not the best I've ever had ...cant wait to come back again next year for the nw200 amd your superb food and drinks

Honestly the best staff in any restaurant I have ever eating.. They are a credit to both themselves and the ice house. Nothing was too much, friendly inviting and put us all at ease when dining with young children. Food was amazing cooked to perfection. We will be back and recommend to everyone...

Review: I had a bad experience at this restaurant. The bread served as a starter was sliced very thick and hard. The mussels in the main course were old and had a bad taste. My friend had the monkfish, which was served in small pieces on a large portion of lentils. The management was slow to remove the mussels from the bill, despite them being inedible. Overall, I was very disappointed with the food and service. I will not be returning. Ver carta

My husband and I went to this restaurant for his birthday dinner tonight. We had to repeatedly ask for our drinks and starters as we waited a long time for them. The starters were decent, but the main courses were disappointing. My husband's fish and chips had overcooked batter and thin fish. My steak was lukewarm and there was blood on the plate because it wasn't rested properly. The tomato was cold as well. When we went to pay the bill, they tried to charge us for extra drinks. The food and service were both lacking. We won't be returning.

Visited on Easter Monday for dinner at 7pm. Gorgeous interior and good exterior space. Staff made direct eye contact when we walked in for our booking then basically ignored us until we stood right in front of them. Had to go to bar to order drinks only to be told I could have come to you, oh well, snooze you lose . Food was basic pub good done poorly with only the battered fish being decent. Cutlery was just dumped at the table and staff walked off. If you wanted something it was like you had to flag people down. The upstairs feels like it doesn 't know if it wants to be a pub or restaurant and isn 't doing either well.

We went in about 7pm on Saturday, and to be fair, they were quite busy. Seeing that they were busy, I asked one of the servers if they could take us- totally fine if not- she said yes, but it would be the window stools looking over the building site. That was ok. We took them and they brought us over cutlery and menus. Then they totally ignored us. We sat for a while and then decided we'd wait 15 minutes before leaving. We waited that and then we just got up and left. On the way out, we met the server we'd interacted with first. Her face kind of dropped but she didn't say anything. Don't think I'll be back, and it was a real shame as one of our party was visiting from the US so didn't give h... Ver carta
