In all the times I've been to Portrush, this is the first time I've eaten here and I will be back. The food was fresh and tasty, and the girls waiting the tables were helpful and friendly - the cost was about normal for what we got and the waiting time wasn't too bad either.. it's up a flight of stairs but worth the effort.. The restroom was dated but clean.

If you want to feel transported to 1970s decor, this is the place to go. I think they'd get more customers by hiring a professional designer to update the ambiance.
Food was ok, but could have used "something special" that would likely come from hiring or consulting a modern professional chef. The fried haddock had a pleasant coating, so that should be kept. The french fries seemed to be from frozen, not fresh. The sampling of many types of salad with the grilled chicken was nice, but better seasoning of the chicken would have been nice.
This is a tourist town, so they really ought to have on hand condiments (like hot chilli pepper sauce) that are standard in other countries.
The Wi-Fi didn't work, and staff said it was always terrible on the rare occasions when it did work. It was obvious that the owners failed to use a competent IT network professional, because neither their network name nor password were customized to be human friendly (just the garbled string of numbers and letters that the internet provider gives as a default).
Bottom line: this place CLEARLY would benefit from the owners looking around at their nearly empty restaurant and saying to themselves, "hmmm, perhaps we might make a lot more money in the long run by paying a short-term professional restaurant business consultant to bring us into the 21st century now." Heck, the owners should toss themselves in as a candidate for the reality show "Restaurant Makeover."
Called in on a wet Tuesday afternoon in Portrush at lunchtime,due to the bad weather the place was almost empty.Ordered the days special.Fresh beer battered Haddock,mushy peas,homemade tarter sauce and chips @£12.50.
