We visited for our lunch on 30th March. I had the chicken club sandwich was was very nice. The actual restaurant and bar was really nice. My only complaint is the toilets and the carpark. The toilets are so dated and run down. They are dark, cold and uninviting. There was no hot water and the hand dryer didn't work.... More

My wife and I stopped in this bar & restaurant today for lunch and were more than pleasantly surprised. Through and archway there is ample off street parking, which in Donaghadee during holiday times can be at a premium. There is a nice welcoming atmosphere in both the bar area and the adjacent restaurant, and the same menu was available... More

Husband and I ate here several months ago. Was so good! Had local pigeon for starter and it was presented on a slate with carrot and beetroot, and both had steaks for our mains. It was flawless, steaks cooked beautifully and the the pigeon lacked no flavour. Will be back again!

Had a pleasant meal though the service was very slow. Nothing particularly good or bad. Would go back but not as first choice.

We decided to call into Grace Neill's after reading about it on TripAdvisor. We nearly drove straight past but the iphone pin-pointed the location for us. After walking through the gorgeously quaint bar we were greeted by a charming server who got us a table immediately even though we hadn't booked. I started with the prawn cocktail and was not...
