  “The service was excellent as always. Staff are very helpful and good at making recommendations. Food was delicious and well presented. Had to leave room for dessert and the only disappointment was they ran out of lemon meringue! The views are amazing and well worth a visit for them alone.”

  “Beautifully located. Greeted by kind and respectful staff. Chicken wings and the fillet steak were cooked and tasted perfectly. I would say the steak is prob one of the best I've ever had. Topped off with a beautiful pint of Guinness!”

  “Dreadful experience. Food is overpriced and not cooked or freshly prepared. Buttermilk chicken at best comes from M&S finest. Smells of processed chicken. Tempura prams mostly batter - can barely see prawn. Brusque welcome . Brought to a table and seats dragged noisily across the floor and left sit. Charging £19.95 for 5-6 buttermilk chicken strips which was from a supermarket with a spoonful of salad and chips is extortionate. Same for a plate of pesto pasta which is exactly that .Processed pasta with pesto sauce also processed and a few broccoli stems. Beef burger £20 and sea bass £25 were good but at these prices they should be! How NI diners accept this fare is beyond me. Not very busy considering 12th and sunny weather. I’d get a drink and buy a deli roll and have it in the sun instead.”

  “Really poor service. Had to ask for cutlery, menu limited, no attention to customers. Prawn salad was lets say weak... prawns in a lettuce leaf with small green salad (no bigger than a dressing) and poor bread. No butter offered. Called out to staff a couple of times and sure too busy chatting amoungst themselves. Will never be back. Could be an amazing place.”

  “Tried this place for the 1st time today. Only went in for a coffee and tray bake, the staff were super friendly and the skinny Latte was honestly the best i have ever had. The tray bake was super fresh. Surroundings are beautiful, lots of picnic tables and a good sized car park which i assume would be very busy on a nice day. My son and i are going back soon to have lunch which i have high hopes for. Would really recommend going and try for yourself.”

  “Had scampi and chips, and my partner had the special: pork leak and Guinness sausages with mash with onion marmalade and pan gravy. Daft Eddie's has a strong reputation so I couldn't wait to try it. The scampi batter is lovely and crispy and there's a generous portion. The homemade chips were the perfect compliment with a slice of lemon, mushy peas and a garlic dip. I did think the scampi would've been bigger as they weren't a far cry from larger battered prawn dishes but it's a minor gripe. My partner's sausages were meaty, the leek wasn't overpowering, and the Guinness sauce offered a strong flavour with the sweetened onions balancing it nicely. Mash was soft and fluffy throughout. I really enjoyed the food here. Parking was handy but be aware that it is a one way system. Staff are very friendly and I wasn't left hanging when I needed the bill. The food is over £20 so these are very premium in pricing and I'm not sure they're worth that amount (I'd rate John Dory's scampi higher but for less the cost, for example). But atmosphere is nice with boats among the rafters, taking advantage of the beautiful views across the lakes with the sailing vessels. You can also explore these and the restaurant's array of outdoor terraces. Overall, Daft Eddie's is highly recommended due to scenery, food, service and atmosphere, but it's only for a special occasion if you're counting the costs.”

  “Food was on point. Waiting staff were nice. Setting and atmosphere good. However, waited 20 mins to have drinks and food order taken. Starter came out as quick as the drinks (5mins) then 35 minutes later we had our mains brought out as the starter plate was still on the table, yes with empty glasses! Asked for another couple of drinks that didn't arrive until after we finished our food, a whole meal with no drinks was poor. The 1 barman was bringing drinks to tables whilst pouring all the drinks and taking orders from people at the bar. Service for this reason gets 1 star. Another 2 waiting staff and another barman would certainly be a benifit. Feel sorry for the staff rushed off their feet and clearly having to face customers that are not happy with the length of service. Management need to look at this as a priority. The price of the meals/drinks they can surely afford appropriate staffing levels.”

  “If I could give 10 stars, I would! Top-notch experience. The by far best Sunday Roast I've had so far on the entire island of Ireland. Beef was falling apart as it should be, super tender and delicious! We were welcomed with a handshake by a super friendly gentleman and Johanna was the loveliest waitress we could ask for. The views are stunning and the entire ambiente was extremely cozy! We will come back! Many many thanks to Johanna and the entire team!”

  “Popped in as a group of five without booking and got a table straight away. So much character from the bridge onto the small island to the decor and views. Great quality food and fast service. Ample free car park.”
