Let's just say this place not worth the visit. It has way to many faults including rude staff and so called fire doors with a gap around frame

Usually lively at weekends/evenings. Drink prices are moderate for the area, and the food has taken a real turn for the better over the past couple of years.

Had an overnight stay here just after Christmas. We booked a table in the restaurant. Our meal was great but the service was shocking. It started well with drinks and main course. Our plates were cleared, and after sitting for over 20 minutes, I had to go to the bar and ask for a desert menu. After another 15 minutes or so, I again had to go to the bar and ask to place an order. The restaurant wasn't packed out by any stretch of the imagination.

Staff were amazing with the best food (much better and cheaper than harbour bistro). I have to say the beef and Guinness pie was a must have with crispy garlic fries. The dessert was lovely too with yummy brownie and vanilla ice cream. The whole place was wheelchair accessible in both entrances.

Booked for dinner in the Inn at 6pm on Saturday with the hope of going next door to bar after for drinks. It was very busy. The staff were nice. We had 5 and the table was a bit small but when a group didn't show up, they moved us to a bigger table which was perfect. The food was lovely and they had 2 for £10 cocktails. £140 for 5 mains and a cocktail each so good value. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay for out night out as the bar was too busy.

Two visits now. First was a disaster, as a local 'character' started to annoy ours and next door's tables. I had to have a word with the staff about it... twice! Was also way overcharged for two drinks as the young person serving didn't seem to have a baldies about pricing. All in all, it is a decent place with decent food. Though staff could do with a bit more training.

We had food here on Easter Monday. It wasn’t too busy when we entered so we got a table easily, although by the time we were leaving it was a lot busier. Staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much effort. Food came really quickly and was warm, fresh and tasty. I got the panko chicken goujons with garlic chips and a garlic mayo dip. It was really tasty. Every one else who I was with also enjoyed their meals. Only negative was the toilets.. the men’s had no paper towels and the hand drier wasn’t working. Apart from that we really enjoyed our visit here and will be back.

New menu is fantastic, just what we need when feeling the pinch of winter expenses. Some of the prices of food on the Causeway Coast are ridiculous, this menu offers a good variety of decent meals for under a tenner. The lasagne hasn't changed thankfully in all the years I've been coming here, still delicious and even the simple things like the big chips are cooked well no half cooked ones in the middle, the garlic bread made with actual real garlic butter - also delicious! Veggie curry & the burger were also well received. Service with a smile from friendly efficient servers. 👌

Meal only review, restaurant section scores highly for decor and service. Food is overpriced for the standard, even for portstewart. £12 seemed reasonable at first for goujons meal, until you realise you’re paying £12 for 4 goujons then £4 for a side on top. Would have been fair to include a side with mains prices. Better Chinese standard next door from the takeaway. Good wines

We went to the Anchor bar this evening as a last family dinner a together before heading home tomorrow. Firstly despite booking the restaurant weeks in advance we were set over 2 tables, when ordering the request was made for the kids meals to come out as soon as possible, this fell on deaf ears. Mains arrived, kids meals accompanied, with only some of the sides and when asked where the remaining sides where it was met with a blank expression. After advising 2 staff what these were and the fact they hadn't arrived off they went to the kitchen. No further update with the sides arriving just in time for the mains to be cold and still not the sides we ordered, but at that stage we were just happy for anything. No apology and no communication over the missed food so when greeted with the desert menu we declined and went to Morellis where at least there they got our order correct!! Food was OK service abysmal so if you are going be very specific on what you want and make sure it's you what you actually get.
