Went here for dinner for the first time in quite a while and weren't sure what to expect but it was really good. Very pleasant young waitress and manager. We felt welcome and looked after. The gluten free options are excellent and they were well managed and presented. The scallops were good (I just don't like slate instead of a plate), the seabass was also very good - maybe fewer capers would be better. Portion sizes are generous too. I would recommend anyone to try it and we will be back.

Prob worst meal out I’ve ever had. Scallops were fishy which means they aren’t fresh and starting to turn. Had sea bass for main which was 2 bits of fish which seemed to be deep fat fried or else shallow fried in oil, these were set on top of 3 or 4 baby potatoes which has inherited all the grease from the fish. On top of that was a handful of capers and a handful of tiny prawns. I felt like Jeremy beatle was going to jump out at any second. The chicken stack which my wife had was the a heap of mashed potato that yer ma cooks on a Tuesday night with a chicken breast with the wing and all still on it sitting on the side of the plate and a bowl of mushroom sauce which was mostly sliced mushroom.

Loved this place! Great food, friendly staff and a real welcoming atmosphere. So pleased we found it. My toddler son who I was worried wouldn't sit well for family lunch was made to feel so welcome, they brought him some colouring in to do, and there is a little playhouse in the garden and a swing seat. I think it would be lovely out there in the sunshine.

A friend and I went to Billy Andy's for dinner, needed a night out and hadn't been here for a year maybe so thought we'd check in and see what it was like. Sent a message on FB to book a table and it was confirmed same day. Arrived a little early and we were seated straight away. Attentive staff answered some of our menu questions and food arrived after a short wait. It was delish, I got the Malaysian curry and my friend got the salmon. We were both very happy with the portions especially as we both found room for the brownie cheesecake which was SO good. Nice atmosphere, clean toilets (though one needs a new lock!), great food, all that you would expect from Billy Andy's 😁. Didn't get any photos as we were starvos who inhaled the food as soon as it came!

The manager is quite frankly one of the rudest men I have ever met. Made a new mother cry for not booking her new born baby a seat and has an attitude to curdle milk. Not friendly at all. Otherwise food is nice and other nice staff but the manager leaves a sour taste. Would not recommend if you like to be served with a smile or a nice hello, actually just common decency. Rang to book a table to give another try after a year and the attitude was intolerable. I see why they do so well with the food, but a nicer experience if they changed up the manager!

Visited this restaurant mon 10/8 with my husband for some lunch .... booked it online through opentable ...... when we arrived , it was quite busy , but all staff had PPE and there is a one way system in operation, which is good . We decided on the 3 course lunch, and realised pretty quickly, that it was very busy and most of the staff where run off their feet . So we expected a long wait between courses , and that's fair enough, given that they had twice as many covers in , than they would have on a Saturday. I know this because one of the staff told us !! .... now not wanting to make a fuss , we patiently waited between each course , infact we where there for just over 2 hours !!! ..... found it hard to attract the attention of anyone to get our bill .... but there again, we where patient ...... so whenever the senior member of staff came over and told us that we would have to vacate our table, I was gobsmacked!!! ... our dessert plates hadnt even been lifted at this point and i was finishing my coffee!! Not good . Either up the staffing levels or dont take so many bookings .... it's a simple enough solution, rather than taking it out on diners because you think they have been dawdling over their lunch !!!! .... now it's just as well that the food is excellent , so tasty and very well presented, so 5 out of 5 to the chef !! And for the quality of the food , the price is very reasonable...... this review should have been all about the fantastic plates of food, the atmosphere and the ambience of the place, which is simply first class.... but I'm afraid the attitude of some of the staff has marred what should have been a perfect lunch

Such a shame as the food really is scrumptious! However, my husband got the lamb - there were two tiny little bits of lamb and 3 small baby boiled potatoes. It was the size of a starter and that’s being generous! Perfectly cooked though. It also took an hour and 15 minutes to come out. We actually had to stop at KFC on the way home as he was still so hungry! I decided to have a pudding - again it took 35 minutes but was lovely. When I mentioned the wait, the waiter said it was just so busy. It is on ‘the eat out to help out scheme,’ and we had booked so thought maybe they should have anticipated it being busier than usual. Definitely order some sides! Would also like to mention we aren’t big eaters!

This restaurant is fabulous. The warm welcome and friendliness of staff are outstanding. The menu has been created by an absolute genius who knows how to marry together flavours and textures. The composition of the dishes with very fresh ingredients and the presentation of each course served on a vast array of quirky plates/bowls adds to this high end gastronomic experience. This restaurant offers more than a meal, it provides a food experience second to none in this country. It is a first class constant in terms of food and service as I am basing this review on many visits with many more to come.

Went tonight to this place for a valentines meal as we haven’t been for a while. It didn’t disappoint as per usual. Scallops with cod Bon Bon for starters was great. Then for mains surf and turf was stunning. Think they saved best till last with the trio of desserts Will defiantly be back soon.

A large group of us visited here for an early tea over the Christmas break. The food was delicious but the service was terrible it took ages to get a drink but we ordered our meal which was served after a short wait We then ordered desserts and coffee the coffees came first the desserts took almost an hour to appear, the children in our party got fed up the adults in our party got fed up then the adults got served and the children still had to wait so unprofessional they weren’t busy they just didn’t seem to have a clue, no explanation from management The wait spoilt a delicious meal they need to up their gamePlease can we have white plates not a fan of the rustic pottery

Went for a couple of cocktails (very small bar area) and friendly customers moved to allow us to sit down. Decided to have dinner and although we had no reservations the staff managed to seat us. Very busy dining room but we were served promptly. Food selection was outstanding and pleasing presentation. Waitstaff very attentive and pleasant. Wonderful meal!!

I've eaten in many fine restaurants all over the world and Billy Andy's stands up very well to any of them. John and his team are always welcoming and accommodating, surroundings are lovely but the food is the winner! Top quality, well cooked, consistent!

Dropped in on a busy Saturday, hadn't booked but was quickly seated, served and the food was to die for! Good quality flavoursome food and great value for money. Service was excellent , very attentive staff, Can't understand how or why anyone could complain about this place.

We came here for New Year's Eve 2019, because from previous experience the food is always excellent and the entertainment spot-on.

This is a quirky pub/restaurant in the countryside just a few miles from Larne. I was really looking forward to a varied menu with a twist on local produce and that is what we got. There is a tdh menu with two or three course options. Service was charming and attentive and the menu represents great value for the quality of food on offer. Among our choices were the delicious soup and the goats cheese panacotta for starters. I was then tempted by the Glenarm salmon (a special). This came with vegetables and roast potatoes to share. I can always manage more salmon. Few of us could fit in a dessert, but the choice is two mini desserts from a choice of about six. That is a nice idea. The baby who was with us was well catered for with mash, gravy and ice cream. There was a good choice of wine by the bottle and the glass. After eating we retired to the small bar. There are lots of interesting nicknacks about to attract your interest. Rightly popular with locals and visitors.

My husband and I went yesterday 28th dec 2019 to try the Christmas evening menu to celebrate my birthday. The starter of goats cheese panna cotta was beautiful - a wonderful mix of flavours. We waited a long time for our main course but weren't too bothered. I had specifically asked for our meals to be served on plates instead of wooden platters but mine arrived on wood and had to be replated despite the request being passed to the chef. My main course which had a £3 supplement was extremely disappointing, poor value and not as described on the menu. The 6oz sirloin was a round pillar of steak and I doubt it was 6oz. The rib of beef was a tiny minced down concoction of shredded meat and onion and the 'leaping lamb's ale pie was not a pie but another spoonful of minced down lamb and veg,mostly carrot and with no pastry or "pie". The waitress told me they had no pastry left!! The chef's response to my feedback was that he had done 100 covers and noone else had complained!! My husbands meal was fine but I am afraid I was left disappointed. We were given a small reduction off my meal but that doesnt make up for a poor experience

My first visit and definitely not my last!! Delicious meal in the restaurant to celebrate a family birthday. Presentation and flavours of both starters and main courses faultless and the hospitality of the owners and staff a real find in these times of fast food and chain restaurants!! We felt valued as customers and the brandy tasting in specially warmed brandy goblet / gin discussions something else! The arrival of our prebooked taxi meant our visit was just too short. But we will be back in the Nee Year!

We kicked of the Christmas holidays with a yummy lunch at Billy Andys. The food, as always was flawless and the staff and service fantastic! The Christmas decorations are stunning and the fire in the bar warm and cosy! If you haven’t already, get a booking in the diary over the holidays, you won’t regret it!

Very disappointing evening on this occasion, we visited with friends for Christmas party night, it was very disappointing to say the least, my prawn starter was quite chewy and almost cold,main course okay but not the best (Turkey & Gammon, not sure what happened to the gammon.) Deserts were good. The staff were very inexperienced and didn’t really understood the runnings of a restaurant, we waited for drinks which didn’t arrive and my husband had to go to the bar twice to get them. The best thing of the evening was the music. At the end of the evening when we went to discuss with the manager of our grievances we were informed he’d gone home.

Very disappointing.The service was very poor due to young inexperienced staff getting no help from management who were only there at the beginning of the night.The entertainment was excellent and the food was good but the whole experience was ruined by the service
