"Very disappointed in our experience this evening, our meals had great flavours but were verging on cold and undercooked. The biggest issue was the ambient temperature, we were seated close to the kitchen door and the draft would have cut corn. Not what I would expect from a Michelin stared restaurant. We actually had to move my wife’s seat to avoid the draft. Even my coffee wasn’t very warm. I like eating seafood and had been looking forward to going here for a long time. I don’t believe I will be back. We have been to Mourne seafood many times and always look forward to returning. I wish I hadn’t broke tradition"

"Fantastic dinner. Started off with an Irish Old Fashioned that was appropriately strong. 8 oz filet ordered medium rare was done perfectly and delicious. It didn't technically need the chili & fennel butter, but it was there so why not? The "triple cooked chips" were the thickest fry-type cut of potato I've ever had with a crispy outside and soft center. All was brought out piping hot. I wasn't about to quit without desert, so I got the Chocolate Delice w/ cherry & vanilla ice cream. Excellent finisher. As I'm traveling on business I was alone, but the atmosphere here would be better enjoyed as a couple or a group. I refuse to let being alone stand in the way of a good meal. I included pictures of their current menus so you can see the other offerings. It's not cheap, but will certainly be a memorable meal if you go."

"We absolutely loved every delicious bite of our meal here.We started with a French martini and a Belfast jawbox gin and tonic and shared a snack of whitebait. Then I had the crab toast, light, flavoursome and so pretty. Dave had the tempura prawns and vegetables, deemed delicious. He then had the scallops and risotto, lovely portion size and fabulous seafood flavour. I had the monkfish with pommes Anna and courgette, beautiful presentation and perfectly judged flavours. Just perfect. We still had room to fill,so I had the passion fruit pannacotta with coconut nibs,soft not solidly set,I didn't want it to end. Dave had a cheese platter with Milleens,Comte and Cashel blue. We drank sparkling water and a chilled bottle of Hungarian Tokaji. Would highly recommend but probably recommend that you should book well in advance. Expensive at £164.56 but worth every penny for a treat."

"Perfectly cooked steaks (we went for fillet), and a friendly, efficient service in a superb location. Triple cooked chips were fantastic. Our table was right beside the kitchen so was great to see the chefs in action. Highly recommended!"

"Excellent! Friendly and efficient/quick service when the restaurant was almost full. Had a delicious NYE lunch, beef brisket slaw brioche bap, Asian shredded beef and a ribeye steak, all delicious :-)"
