   Honestly we love this place We went on Boxing Day The starters were terrible My daughter is a vegetarian and she had a bowl of soup and it was a big bowl with only a small amount family came home still hungry Normally we come home stuffed Defo not value for muni Disappointed

   The Lighthouse Bar and GrillResponded on December 29, 2022Many thanks for your feedback. Having looked into further we see the only starters on were the chicken wings x3. They were cooked the same way and in the same portion as always and there were no other issues raised that day. As the soup was on the starters and your daughter wanted it as a main we gave her a double portion apologies if you didn't think this was enough. Reviewing your bill we feel that £101.65 to feed a family of four two courses plus drinks on Boxing Day represents great value.

   We were a table of four and our food was excellent. The service was very good although our meals were slow arriving, but it was 23rd of December and the place was packed so to be expected. However we did find where we were seated to be cold by the time we left our legs were freezing. I don't know where the draft was coming from but it was bad.

   The Lighthouse Bar and GrillResponded on December 29, 2022Many thanks for your feedback Joan and glad you enjoyed your meal. We apologise for any draft or coldness we have staff in from 10am with the fire lit and heaters on to warm the building but as a large, older building unfortunately in this colder weather and overnight minus temperatures we sometimes face an uphill battle!

    Another excellent meal in the Lighthouse, with good quality food and excellent service from all of the staff. The atmosphere on this occasion was certainly lively with a large party in for their Christmas Dinner.

    Fantastic food and lovely friendly and helpful staff . The venue was a bit cool and my wife had to keep her coat on during our meal and the choice of draught beers was limited . On the whole though , a lovely place for lunch and we'll be back .

    Our meal in the lighthouse was excellent. The menu choice was super and as my husband is gluten free he had no difficulty in choosing both a main and dessert. There was 2 menus available and both were extensive. The food for all of us was warm and well presented, and great value for money. Staff were pleasant and helpful. I would recommend to everyone.

    . Very attentive service decor good very clean pity about the food

    The Lighthouse Bar and GrillResponded on December 2, 2022Many thanks for taking the time to leave your review. As you'll see from other reviews you're only the second person in 346 on Opentable to rank our food as 1 star so perhaps on reflection you'll see you've been a bit harsh particularly as 1) your dining partner said they very much enjoyed theirs and 2) you're the first person in our history to complain about the fresh batter on our fish & chips. Alas when a diner begins with "I'm a cook myself" we generally find we're on to a losing battle.

    My husband and I treated ourselves to Sunday dinner, was a great way to chill after having the much loved grandchildren. Service was great, the staff are always so welcoming and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I had the feathered beef (my fav) with mash, roasties and veg. The beef is so tender it just falls apart and really tasty. My hubby had steak with all the trimmings, again cooked to perfection. Also the pavlova was perfect! Ambience was relaxing, just what we needed, would thoroughly recommend

    The Lighthouse Bar and GrillResponded on October 23, 2022Hi Thomas, what a surprise to see your review. As you'll see from 338 OpenTable reviews our service is marked an average of 4.8 out of 5 and puts us in the top 10 restaurants in NI. Having spoke to all the staff working they didn't report any issues with your table and said you complimented on leaving while petting the dogs from another table. This makes your scoring quite confusing to us so we would love to hear more - please email jamie@lighthousebarandgrill.co.uk with any further info.
