Because my flight to Amsterdam from Belfast City Airport was cancelled, I was forced to stay an extra night in Belfast. So we spontaneously entered this restaurant in the evening, attracted by a billboard advertising the Wednesday menu: Fillet-Steak. From the very first moment I was amazed by the hospitality and professionalism of this team. A glass of water was immediately presented. The advice to precede the Steak with a Portavogie Prawns and Mushrooms was a good choice! The File Steak was also of high quality. And the glass of excellent Malbec wine made it complete. The service was great, people regularly came to ask if I was still okay. All in all, highly recommended! If I am ever in the Belfast area again, I will return here.

A few of us booked a table to have a little get together. Lots of different dishes were tried by members of our party. The overriding concensus was that the restaurant is massively overpriced for what you get. £20 for a plate of very ordinary spaghetti with a few prawns and an extremely indifferent sauce alongside the most over priced goats cheese starter in the county.

Had the tastiest Vegetable Soup ever (apart from my Mum's of course), then Sirloin Steak & Chips with Pepper Sauce - the best you will get anywhere hands down. Service as usual was top-notch so we just stayed until going home time. BYO is a bonus treat. Will have to go again... Oh, I'm already booked!!

Food is good but one thing that’s a big no no in my books is that every time you drive back near the rear door staff are smoking, it makes it a very dirty looking restaurant unfortunately, as they are standing right in the doorway so I’m guessing the smoke goes directly into the kitchen. A real put off!

Visited the restaurant today with my partner, I have special dietary requirements and have a serious stomach condition which I know can be a handful for restaurants. The options for vegan were extremely limited and the salad was covered in a sea of balsamic vinegar with 4 falafel. One of which tasted like chicken. This was earlier today and since I have been violently sick. Even puked up in the restaurant. The staff assured us this was all prepped correctly, however I beg to differ If you are vegan or have dietary requirements please be careful in the place . I didn't want to cause a scene in the restaurant as I was nervous and in a state of shock I wanted out of there without causing a scene as there were only 2 elderly couples in the restaurant. This was a lunch time that was a nightmare and I don't think I will be going back. On the positive side my partner said her food was good. Which is why it gets 1 star from me.

We came for lunch on Father’s Day, two adults and two children. As before we received an excellent welcome by the hostess and shown to a table downstairs. The menu is lovely, A La Carte and also a separate one for the little people. Specials were explained and we ordered starters of prawns and my favourite salt and chilli squid. Mains were rib eye steak and a special of mixed grill. The children ordered chicken strips. Food was excellent, fresh, great quality and very well presented, this restaurant doesn’t falter and food is consistently good. There’s a reason it’s no. 1 in Ards. Rib eye steak was really big and cooked to perfection, mixed grill was very nice, lots of meat and perfectly cooked chips. Childrens chicken strips were home made and throughly enjoyed. The bill was fairly reasonable considering currant rises, BYO helps however the wine list was also good value. Would have loved a few cocktails, definitely next time. Finally the serving staff were very friendly and courteous, they made the children welcome and that means a lot to us. Looking forward to returning. Thank you.

I have found myself in Chef and Manager a few times and each time I wonder why I cannot say I eat here all the time. It's easy to be seduced by the bigger restaurants in the locale that shout for your attention but I find this eatery to have a warmth and ambiance most lack and this is certainly created by Veronika and the staff and their calm, welcoming disposition. The ever amiable chef almost always pops his head out with genuine smiles and nods and you simply do not get that very often. Relaxing and simply a pleasure to sit in, the food is always flavourful, the menus well thought out and creative and the presentation delectably inviting. Ideal for business, family or intimate meals, I recommend that you make the effort or journey and sink into a lovely dining experience.

This was my third visit since re-opening and probably my last review. My problem is finding something new to say. There were 5 in our party for Sunday lunch but we were delayed by about an hour because one of the party was committed to an on-line interview. We kept the restaurant informed and they couldn't have been more empathetic. Warm welcome as ever and delicious food for all. Most took the two course special but one opted for the a la carte. I made the mistake of being unable to resist the baklava so waddled very contentedly from the restaurant. Great food, great staff and very pleasant ambiance plus staff diligent in Covid-19 protection measures.

Excellent battered cod fish, light and crispy. The battered mushrooms were great. Nice to have choices of various dips. The best fish so far in Ards!

First time ever visiting this cafe as it came highly recommended,upon arrival we chose are own seats as the staff were busy chatting with some friends,we sat patiently as other customers were shown to their seats and presented with menus,the staff continued to serve the customers that arrived after us by which point we had to ask for menus which was met with an attitude of disgust and inconvenience. When a member of staff finally decided to take our orders she stood chewing gum and really came across as being inconvenienced by our presence. We decided to cancel our order as after 10 mins of ordering our drinks we still had not been served so decided to leave,we explained this to the staff and instead of trying to rectify the situation they were happy for us to leave(less for them to do I suppose). Would recommend driving a bit further and find somewhere more welcoming.

Called in and had a latte and a fruit square. The latte tasted absolutely beautiful, not too strong, just nicely balanced. The fruit square was spot on also. Lovely place, wishing The Goose every success, will definitely be back again.
