The Ice House Bar And Restaurant, Portstewart

Superb meal and service on a very busy evening! Great value and highly recommended.

First time eating here and definately wont be the last. The staff were so friendly. They alone made the visit worthwhile, but the food was also exceptional.. the most delicious burger I've eaten in a while.

Ordered a pasta dish and had been waiting over an hour for it to even be served with meals being served all around us, the dish was bland with very little flavour and was very unevenly cooked, would not recommend

Absolutely incredible bar, amazingly friendly professional and helpful staff..their espresso martini is one of if not the best I've ever had ...cant wait to come back again next year for the nw200 amd your superb food and drinks

Honestly the best staff in any restaurant I have ever eating.. They are a credit to both themselves and the ice house. Nothing was too much, friendly inviting and put us all at ease when dining with young children. Food was amazing cooked to perfection. We will be back and recommend to everyone...

WELCOMING. GREAT LOCATION. Food is delicious. Tables are perfectly spaced, lots of room. The service is excellent and professional. The atmosphere is so relaxing. The music made me smile and hum along to, yet at a level which never interfered with conversation. Views are outstanding. Cosy bar downstairs, also given choice to dine on this level. Upstairs extends to an outdoor area to enjoy a drink and a meal. All areas are very clean, bright and welcoming. Don't leave Portsteward before spending time at The Ice House.

Was nice to see the Ice House open again. This was the first time I'd been back since they've reopened. The food was really good. I had the monkfish tail, which was amazing. Others in the party had different things and nobody was disappointed. Service was really friendly, engaging, and attentive. The server we got chatted away and couldn't do enough to try to help out. They definitely go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Price is about what you'd expect. Perfectly reasonable so no complaints there, definitely feel like I got value for money.

Visited on Easter Monday for dinner at 7pm. Gorgeous interior and good exterior space. Staff made direct eye contact when we walked in for our booking then basically ignored us until we stood right in front of them. Had to go to bar to order drinks only to be told I could have come to you, oh well, snooze you lose . Food was basic pub good done poorly with only the battered fish being decent. Cutlery was just dumped at the table and staff walked off. If you wanted something it was like you had to flag people down. The upstairs feels like it doesn 't know if it wants to be a pub or restaurant and isn 't doing either well.

We went in about 7pm on Saturday, and to be fair, they were quite busy. Seeing that they were busy, I asked one of the servers if they could take us- totally fine if not- she said yes, but it would be the window stools looking over the building site. That was ok. We took them and they brought us over cutlery and menus. Then they totally ignored us. We sat for a while and then decided we'd wait 15 minutes before leaving. We waited that and then we just got up and left. On the way out, we met the server we'd interacted with first. Her face kind of dropped but she didn't say anything. Don't think I'll be back, and it was a real shame as one of our party was visiting from the US so didn't give h...
