"The whole ethos of being in the hospitality trade, is to cater wholeheartedly for the needs of your customers and to provide them with the best experience possible; for without them, you don't have a business and indeed, if you can't manage to do that, you shouldn't be in the hospitality trade. We wanted a table for about 7pm but were told that the kitchen closed at 6pm on Sunday, so that a deep clean could be carried out. We therefore booked a table for 5.30pm. When we arrived, at the same time as another two diners, the place was deserted and the dining room was empty. Clearly no warm welcome here. I had to ring a bell to attract attention. The dining room had bare wooden tables and only three of them had cutlery. We were eventually greeted, seated and told that there was no steak pie and only one burger left. The starters were few and uninspiring and the mains were equally so, with the exception of the non existent steak pie. We decided to have the fish pie, which was piping hot and very tasty. It was also very filling. So filling infact, that they decided that we wouldn't want a dessert afterwards. We are still waiting to see the menu and I actually had to ring up to ask for the bill. I can't criticise the waitress, who was running around and trying to do several jobs at once. Several customers came in whilst we were there, then walked back out. A table for four walked out because they were waiting for one guest who wasn't arriving until after 6pm and they hadn't been told that the kitchen was closing down. The whole place was devoid of any atmosphere. There is no point buying a business then doing your best to run it into the ground. You cannot afford to turn customers away, particularly when there is an exemplary establishment, a few yards away. You book your restaurant full, serve a full selection of dishes, in a professional manner with a nice ambience and then deep clean your kitchen, even if that means working until after midnight."

This friendly establishment welcomes dogs and provided a great supper for the two of us. We ordered pizzas that were obviously freshly made on the premises very enjoyable.

Lovely beer garden with plenty of seating. Garden Menu was limited but the food was excellent. Service was quick and staff were very friendly. Dog friendly in the beer garden.

Had a very nice Sunday roast [pork] and our daughter had an excellent pizza, followed by good traditional puddings. Friendly service in a very clean environment. Good value as well!

We arrived at the end of lunchtime and ordered the vegetable curry from the Light Bite menu. It was delicious and great value. We hope to return and sample some of the other options. Voir le carte

I had a fantastic dinner on Monday night at this hidden gem of a restaurant. Despite being fully booked, the staff were courteous and attentive. I am looking forward to coming back soon!

I went to this restaurant with friends last night and had a great experience. The food was delicious, and even when I requested something not on the menu, the chef was able to accommodate my request without any issues. I love being able to get exactly what I want, and it tasted amazing.

Monday evening, I came in for a meal and obviously hadn 't booked. Totally understand that I hadn 't booked but to be told we are fully booked was a surprise. I write this because I literally can see 1 table eating and 1 table that has eaten in the restaurant. I don 't mind being told we aren 't serving anymore food but basically to be lied to is insulting. Voir le carte

We have been to The Garrett many times and always enjoyed our experience! We always receive a warm welcome from Manager Missie and her friendly staff. The food is delicious and the rooms are comfy. If you want a vibrant atmosphere, The Garrett is the place to be! The locals are also very welcoming and we have made great friends during our visits. We will definitely return!

Avoid this place like the plague. Walked into lunch today at 1.30 for lunch, 5 of us fir lunch. There were only 3 people in and 3 staff behind the bar. They waited till we were sat and looked at the menu, to then be told they could not serve us as they were expecting a party of 6. No sorry or apology. Totally rude and unprofessional. A customer service coarse is badly needed!!!!

"Myself and my partner where just outside of portpatrick yesterday and wondered about somewhere to have lunch, it was about 12.30pm on a scorching hot Bank holiday Sunday. We hadn’t actually planned to go there to start with but thought why not. I saw on Facebook Connors Restaurant had just uploaded a Facebook post about stopping there for a choice of 2 lovely menus and a cheeky gin, sounded perfect! The post had went up about 15 mins before we arrived, so I assumed they must be looking to take some tables. I walked down and there where 2 tables taken outside, and 1 table inside. I asked if I could get a table for 2 outside if possible and I was told no they had been reserved and I thought okay but before I could even open my mouth again she said all tables inside where also reserved that they where fully booked. There was 1 table inside, other wise it was pretty empty. Ok no problem, we found somewhere else so no big deal, after about 2 hours spent having food and wondering around we went back to the car (parked just up from Connors restaurant) and I noticed again there was only the 1 table outside, and no one at the others. I’m maybe wrong but I felt like this was odd, the inside didn’t look like it was “fully booked” either. It actually looked a little dead compared to everywhere else. This has also happened to my friends a couple of times too they’ve went in and the place has been stone dead but got turned away because of the excuse of being fully booked. Just felt like it was not quite right. Sorry I never usually write reviews but felt like I had to get my point across on this one. We would love to dine here and hopefully will in the future."
