I was here on friday night just gone, with my husband and another couple. The menu is fantastic. It caters for everyone and everything sound sooo good! Its hard to decide what to have! Service was great, very attentive without being in our ears for our meal. The staff was extremely friendly. The setting itself upstairs is lovely, very cosy... More

I took my aunt and uncle here when they were over on holiday. We were put in a cramped corner of the restaurant, if someone wanted to go to the toilet everyone had to move to let them out. The food was nothing special, to be honest we could have had better at home. The kids said the pizzas were... More

We ate here last weekend on the recommendation of the manager at the Strandhill Lodge and Suites where we were staying. We had just climbed Knocknarea and were looking forward to a nice meal. The restaurant and bar had a lovely relaxed feel to it, and we were made to feel welcome. We ordered pizzas and although they took a... More

Your review upsets me as 6-8 months after an issue you inform us for the first time via Trip Advisor. I can assure you that we get alll our meat delivered 3 - 4 times weekly fresh from a local reputable award winning butcher and our burgers are cooked to order. (That is why we inform on the menu it... More

First off, not a bad restaurant - not stellar service but more than adequate. Nice environment too. However, we went mostly because they serve gluten-free pizza and our little one has been dying for decent pizza. However, they charge €2 extra for the gluten-free version. Now, it's likely they buy these in since they only do 9" sizes. On top... More

However in our defence, in order to be able to provide a gluten free options we have to obide by very strict guidelines set out by the Coeliac Society to avoid... More

The wife and I had gone to Sligo for our first Anniversary but were disappointed with the food at the hotel we were staying in, so we checked around with some of the locals and heard good reports about Bella Vista. Its only 15 minutes from Sligo Town in the picturesque Strandhill. Unfortunately it was dark by the time we... More
