North Down House in Ards

We are always impressed with the food at the TT bistro. The food is always superior to other well known rival restaurants nearby. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere while being unpretentious.

I was at the TT Bistro with a friend for lunch on 30 December - first timer. I was so impressed from the minute I walked in. Nicky made us feel welcome and though friendly was very professional. The menu was almost too good, in that we had difficulty choosing. The food was superb and we've already decided what we will have next time we go - oh yes, this is somewhere where we'll definitely go back to. J&J

Very friendly service. Excellent food Reasonable prices. Always a very pleasant experience Great choice and non- pretentious

Four of us had dinner tonight. Very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere . Excellent staff, pleasant , friendly and attentive . Lovely food all well presented . We shall definitely be back .

Just back from a family birthday meal at the TT and Nick and his team looked after us very well indeed. Hannah, the young lady that took the orders, was very polite, helpful, and efficient. The lunch menu was quite wide ranging and, we all thought, it offered terrific value for money. (especially the kid's menu) Most importantly the quality of the food was impressive. Why go elsewhere and pay a lot more when the TT offers so much.

Dined here at the weekend, family of four including two children. We haven’t been in a long time. We had a great experience here. I wondered why we run elsewhere when the TT Bistro are serving excellent quality food, fantastic service even though the place was full, also really good value for money and it’s all right here in our doorstep. Won’t be long till we’re back. Thank you TT.

We had a fabulous lunch here today. It was our first visit. My husband is coeliac and there was plenty of choice for him. He chose the burger which he said was delicious. I had the lamb shank done in a red wine gravy with mash potatoes. It was the best lamb I’ve ever tasted. The home made key lime pie I had for desert was sublime! All our deserts were home made and lovely. We will definitely be back. I was so impressed with how friendly the waitress was and how fast the service was. Compliments to the chef!

try to go once a week never had a bad meal and service is first class i have ate at most restaurants and i would be very fussy and can honestly say its as good if not better than anywhere i have been to

We arrived just before the kitchen was due to close expecting to be disappointed but we were welcomed with open arms. With a selection of basket menu, kids menu and main bistro menu there was plenty to chose for all the family. The choices were made and we were not disappointed. Great presentation, good size portions and most importantly flavoursome and satisfying Couldn’t fault it

A group of friends and I visited the TT for a rugby afternoon. It is just a really nice place to enjoy a good pint and really honest food. Great choice and reasonable prices. Staff are excellent. Sunday lunch/roast is unbeatable. Thanks to Nicky and his crew.

Thanks to all the Staff for a wonderful time on Mother's Day. The meal and the attendance to our table was 5 * also the floral gift was appreciated. Thanks Hilary McMaster

Visited to celebrate a birthday and wedding anniversary the food was excellent and the staff were definitely efficient

We had a delicious meal with great service from Nicky. Recommend to any families in the area. Top restaurant in the area

Really enjoyed our food with the family today at the North Down TT. The staff are always so helpful and the food was superb today.

Visited here yesterday, we were seated downstairs, had the place to ourselves. The Lady serving us was really friendly and nothing was any problem. The food was warm and fresh, oriental chicken for starter, scampi and chips for main course for me, other members had the chicken supreme, plenty of potatoes and vegetables, finished off with lemon meringue. Will definitely recommend. Thanks.

A surprise 50th Wedding Anniversary dinner was arranged for my parents which we had 29 friends & family attending. Nothing was too much hassle for the staff both prior to and on the night of the function. Jordan was excellent to deal with in both the planning and his (and all the staff) hospitality on the night was second to none! Food was fantastic and very well priced. I will definitely be back and would recommend that you try it out if in and around Comber!

As a regular customer, I love to take new friends here. Yesterday's visit did not disappoint. Fabulous garlic spuds for both me and my partner, I had perfect scampi. But his burger - the meltingly delicious cheese, the perfectly cooked beef patty, with a slice...

We visited here for a night out with friends. The food and service was excellent. To quote my friend “this is the best starter I’ve ever eaten”!! As there was 6 of us we sampled quite a few dishes off the menu and everyone said...

We ordered a hot Christmas dinner to take back to our office. It was absolutely beautiful and loads of extra gravy yum yum. One needed to be gluten free which was no problem. Will definitely do this again. Thanks to the staff for hassle free...

Food is good pub grub. The staff are always super friendly and helpful. The manager, Nicky is such a great help and always welcomes the guests that enter. Can sit in and take away.

Had a lovely meal here for the first in quite a while… the welcome was warm and the food beautiful- great portion sizes and the lightest of batter on the scampi and onion rings. Dessert equally hit the spot - despite the appetite having been...

We were going to go for dinner with family this saturday but as weve a disabled child with a wheelchair we cant go no lift to the level where we can sit for a meal so had to rearrange our venue

Very first “sit-in” meal last night since easing of restrictions and where better than our favourite restaurant, the TT Bistro in North Down House. Nicky and his team have clearly worked hard over the past couple of weeks to give the place a very tasteful...

Used this takeaway menu last Sunday. The meal for 4 was ready at the agreed collection time. The choice was extensive and the food was excellent.especally the Sunday Roast, with superb and very tender beef. Looking forward to visiting when the re-opening takes place ,...

The TT has been consistently serving great food from their take out menu during these trying times, can’t wait to get back under normal times to enjoy the food with a few small libations added in. Well done TT!!

I lady I work with told me I had to try this place especially the Oriental Chicken (can be a starter or meal meal) I wish i had taken a photo as i had it as a main meal and I am so glad I...

We have visited the TT in many occasions and loved it, and my recent visit didn’t disappoint. They provide a good choice of menu, with competitive prices, and the food is always full of flavour. Portion sizes are amazing. Highly recommended.

Just been to have lunch at the TT Bistro it was lovely certainly won't hesitate to go back. Food was gorgeous and the staff were really friendly which was a bonus. Can't wait to go back.

A few friends and I ate in the distillery lounge last night, we had the basket food which included oriental chicken and fish and chips. It was late on but the restaurant staff upstairs happily catered for us even though they were busy. Food was...

We love the TT and that's why we go back time and time again. Freshly prepared, locally sourced food & a great gin collection. Our boys love it too. Highly recommend.

Met up with ex-nursing friends for lunch. Very good choices and good value. We booked for the senior citizens lunch even though we still call ourselves the girls. Service was excellent and Christine looked after us very well in her usual jovial manner. Nicky was...

Went for Sunday lunch here. First time there. We both had three courses. Service was good. Food was definitely in my opinion far too simple and lacking flavour for the money we paid. Our starter was cold and the main was lukewarm. Place also seemed like heating wasn't on as was very cold. Table beside us also commented on this. Bill came to near £50. For the food we received I don't think it was worth it. Decor also seems tired and needs updating. Won't be back to the TT.

Would visit the T T quite often for tea and have always found the food to be excellent and good value. The staff have always been helpful and pleasant. A restaurant with great atmosphere, cosy and friendly.

Love the TT, just down the road from us.Went for the early bird menu downstairs to the Distellery Lounge, have been in for lunch there also with friends.Lovely atmosphere , great food and very helpful staff.

I had dinner here on Saturday evening - the venue was busy but this served to provide a good atmosphere and buss - it not interfere in the standard of the food and service - cant wait to visit again

Im guilty of having the TT only a short walk away but have not reviewed it and because it has been there as long as I can remember I take it a little bit for granted. Ten of us decided to head out for a meal and going here made it a short trip or walk for everyone. On looking through the menu it seemed nobody was making it past the first page and the steak deal. A mixture of sirloins and rump steaks were ordered along with evey concievable cooking preference and side orders. It would be easy to forgive a few mistakes when the order came out but every single item was served as ordered. Again cooking ten steaks would be a challenge for any chef but again every single one was top quality and cooked perfectly. Sitting to my side was a friend who is a butcher and he agreed that we had served a great bit of steak. Well done to the chef and table staff who made it a great night out.

This place never fails to deliver excellent food freshly made. I am very picky about where I eat as so many eateries use frozen foods and bought in desserts but it's all fresh here and their desserts made in house are to die for. Hard to work out how they deliver such amazing food at very competitive prices but I'm definitely not complaining. Friendly staff and fab food consistently. Thank you Nicky and team.

Family group of 11 midweek. Delicious food. The scampi is a must. All food cooked to order so allow a little time. Early bird menu is good value and reasonable wine list. Service coped with the group size very well and was very pleasant. Pleasant environment. Well recommended.

First time here would thoroughly recommend,staff and food excellent, will definitely be back, excellent menu great service and good price, recommend the Scampi and the Chicken,ham &leek; pie

Recommended by a local as we were staying locally. Really great menu, friendly service, not rushed but not slow either. Great choice of gin available !! Overall good freshly cooked food at a very reasonable price. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Amazing service, friendly staff, amazing menu choice, food was delicious. Cannot recommend enough! 10/10 on everything

Following my review last week I want to say this week was a disaster. My husband and myself arrived at 2pm and ordered very lightly battered haddock one with rice and one with garlic potato. At 3.10pm the meal arrived. It was not our order at all. Sorry won't be back. I would say the young man behind the bar was most apologetic and agreed that it was not what we ordered or about the length of time. If you are advertising the distillery lounge it needs to be better serviced.

My husband and I went for Sunday lunch as a special treat. Everything from the starter to the main course and the dessert was very tasty and beautifully cooked. We will definitely be back.

Thoroughly deserved #1 rating In Comber.......what more need be said? Top staff, top food, top service!! Would never think of going anywhere else. If you haven been, give it a try. You won’t regret it!!

Another lovely evening in the TT a favourite of mine to meet up with friends have great food great service in a great atmosphere. the monkfish curry is awesome.

Visited one evening and had the best meal we have had for ages. My starter of camembert cheese was followed by pork belly and both courses were excellent. The seating, staff, value and service were all of the highest quality.

Called here one evening and had the best meal we have enjoyed for a long while. My only gripe is the size of the starters as my delicious mozzarella cheese barely left room for the so good pork belly. The atmosphere, seating, value and staff were all excellent and we look forward to returning.

Just been to the TT for my Birthday Tea. Omg wow wow wow. We had the pork belly an the mozzarella chorizo chicken an both were to die for. Outstanding Nicky Caughey. Thank you for your hospitality xx

Called in her recently for dinner. We had heard through friends of the very well priced earlybird menu. 2 courses £13.95.

We had decided to try this restaurant after checking the menus, as my OH doesn’t eat any vegetables what so ever and and it can be hard to find somewhere that he has a choice other than fish & chips, chicken goujons or burger, he settle for the fish cake starter but had to yet again choose a burger as everything else had veg somewhere in it, both our starters were nice, I had the chicken spring roll, he did find the burger turned out dry by the time he got half way through it, but it was very tasty, I choose the chicken & beef in peppercorn sauce with a side of salad instead of the potatoes, although the food was, as I say nice it was the service that let this place down, there was three members of staff on the evening we were there and although pleasant, none of them went out of their way to see if we were happy with everything, the bill was asked for and left on the table, we put the debit card on the saucer but nobody made any move to come and take our payment, two members of staff walked past a few times, so we headed to the bar area to pay, maybe this is what you are suppose to do but if they had said when they brought the bill we would have known what to do, we were not asked if we enjoyed our meal or if everything was ok, so sorry guys but we will not be back.

Having been in the past and given a poor review we have been twice recently and I have to say the food and service was excellent.We will be back.thank you.

one of Comber secrets lovely menu good service it hides under bypass bridge parking is on street so get there early

Visited here on a whim with 3 kids in tow. Very accommodating staff and the food was great. Homemade burgers were delicious as was my seafood pasta.

I've been dining in the TT since I was a child, brought here by my parents who, in turn, came here since the 1960s. We have seen changes in layout, decor and ownership but the quality has never changed.

It’s turning out to be an annual visit for a family member birthday meal. Was not disappointed with the great food and service. Everyone really enjoyed their menu choice. Would definitely recommend a visit when considering where to dine in Comber. It’s only a short drive from Belfast, Ballygowan or Newtownards.

Called in at tea time and had the early bird menu. The food was really good, the beer exceptional, the decor fascinating, the staff excellent. Will go again

Stopped here for tea on the way home, food was good and service friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back .

Nice atmosphere in this restaurant. Food is good and staff are nice. Would recommend it. There is a pub down below so you get the benefit of both in the one building.

Having had Sunday lunch here in November (it was quite a few years since we'd been) we thought the food was good, so we booked again for a meal in December with 3 daughters, one of whom is coeliac. Staff were helpful and careful to advise and check for her meal as it's stressful for her to trust a restaurant! Everything was great. Next time, in January we took visitors there for an 'early bird'...again it was all lovely...good food, good choices, good service, good price.

I visited for a Sunday evening meal with my husband. There is some on street parking at the venue and a small car park close by. The restaurant is upstairs with a bar below.

We attended the New Year’s Eve function upstairs in the restaurant, lovely menu and selection, beautiful food and wonderful service. As it was a special night it started with bucksfizz then later on we had good entertainment. Very enjoyable night

Haven’t been to this restaurant for a long time and when I dined there recently was very impressed.

This bistro is crying out to be modernised. Not a place for a special night out. The food is ‘just ok’. Service was OK. Won’t rush back.

Well as usual service was exemplary, staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. There were 15 of us and the meal was all delivered on time and was delicious. Many thanks to all at the TT Bistro for another great night out with lovely memories made.

My husband took me and my Mum to the TT for Sunday lunch. We all took the salmon in a creamy sauce and were not disappointed with our choice. The selection of veg that were brought in a separate dish were all lovely too. My husband then had an espresso coffee and mum and I shared the raspberry and lemon curd roulade . The flavours together were really lovely. Thanks Nicky, all chefs and all waiting staff.

The food is outstanding, reasonable and all staff are friendly & helpful. Since moving to comber road a few years ago we have visited the TT bistro on a regular basis, I can say the food had been delicious in all occasions. We have tried nearly everything on their menu. Looking forward to returning again soon.

As a family this is one of our favourite restaurants. From the food to the staff this place is excellent. The food is awesome and the staff are first class, professional, warm and so attentive. It's our first choice for celebrating any family occasion. Sincere thank you to Jordan and the team, well done, you all work so hard. We really enjoyed our visit last night as we always do. Thank you once again.

The cousins all met up and had another fantastic meal at the TT. Two of us had the seafood pasta which was really scrummy. All the others really enjoyed their choice of meal ranging from ham shank to baked salmon. All good and the staff friendly and attentive as always. Thanks Nicky, Jordan and all the team. Will be back soon.

I have never been to this restaurant but I plan to go very soon. I had the pleasure today to meet the owner Nicky, and what a complete gentleman he is. I was stranded in Belfast with a puncture. Nicky went out of his way to help with a buzz gun to try and remove the nuts and when this didn’t work he phoned his mechanic friend Gareth (who also works at the TT). Between the two of them they got me back in the road - nearly 2 hours later. Two absolute gentlemen and nothing was too much bother to them. I can’t thank you enough.. Will be out to visit soon! Thanks again. Val O’Neill

Food excellent with a wide and varied menu staff very friendly and welcoming .They are more than happy to oblige with slight changes to meals or even if something isn't on the current menu which changes in a regular basis to add new dishes

I have not been to The TT for years , but last week my Wife and I decided to pop in. Well I will not wait so long again. Friendly and attentive staff nice atmosphere and great food at a great price!

The food here is great and the staff very attentive without being obtrusive. Good menu choices for me as a vegetarian. You can have a leisurely meal and take your time to chat afterwards without feeling rushed out.

Met some close friends for lunch at 1:30. It was quiet. Very tastefully laid out table seating with lots of space. The server was very efficient and attentive. Drinks came quickly. The menu was varied and looked like it would meet most peoples needs what ever they were. Our 3 meals were delicious. The price was excellent for what we got. A great spot for a meetup. Highly recommend. Stairs are steep to get there which might concern some elderly but I am sure thay have a lift for handicap access. Give them a try.

Have passed this place many times but have never been in. However we went for the early bird menu and were not disappointed. Although it was busy, the staff were friendly and helpful

Had an excellent lunch here last week with friends from London. Menu is varied and suits all tastes. Staff are friendly and know what extras there are to offer. We will return to this restaurant soon.

We have eaten here many times in recent years and have finally got round to posting a review. There is always a warm welcome from Nicky, Jordan and their colleagues. We have never been disappointed with the food, which is always superbly cooked and delicious, with a good balance between traditional pub grub and more adventurous dishes. The ‘early bird’ menu (5.00 – 6.30 pm) is particularly good value. Consistently excellent!

Love this place. Food is excellent Menu choice superb covers all tastes. Staff very helpful offering good advice. Excellent for children as well. Only negative the stairs.

Was treated to a meal here by friends for husbands 50th birthday. Food was tasty and served promptly. Service was excellent and friendly. The restaurant is upstairs so don’t know if it was disable friendly

What a little gem this place is. Really nice, modern restaurant, with a few nods to Belfast history, with the Titanic themed pictures etc.

I returned here with a friend after having a very good meal last year after our annual golf outing at Mahee Island. It was around 8.30pm and not particularly busy but pleasant atmosphere. Prompt and pleasant service and drinks orders taken almost immediately. We both went for the Crispy Oriental Chicken which was excellent. Will definitely return a bit sooner n3xt time and try their early bird two courses for £13.50.

I like this place , always seems to be a bit of stir about . Food very good, service excellent...

We were in the area and wanted lunch and the menu appealed. We hadnt booked, but were made welcome and offered the choice of any table. We had one course only, mains, both of which were very tasty and substantial. The food is not cheap, but we felt the meal worth it and would return. The chairs are comfortable and there is a nice ambience in the bistro. The service was good.

Called in one night for their early bird menu, fantastic food and great service. Nice atmosphere upstairs. Will be back!

As you see my headline was good but no organisation this is because when I got there it was quiet but when it got busy the waitresses where not allocated areas so I had difficulty in understanding who was looking after our table that is a minor point but little things like that make it excellent rather than good but in a super positive note the food was really nice but giving a menu of a set price then charging for sides is wrong the manager or supervisor did not even leave the bar area as the tv was on and we had to ask 2 times for the desert menu which was a shock as it was gorgeous when it arrived but I would go again as the decor was modern but not overstated well done

Great atmosphere and even though the restaurant was packed the food was served promptly. 17 people at our table and a real mix of food and everyone said the food was excellent and there was not one complaint all night. The staff were first class, very friendly and very very helpful. Would highly recommend it from a small family party to a large party like ours.

Came here for a Christmas night out with extended family and friends. I had vegetable soup for starter which was nice but a wee bit cold. I then had veggie lasagna for main which was unreal!! The nicest veggie meal I think I’ve ever had. It’s just a shame about the starter as the dessert was lovely too. Would definitely recommend and would definitely be back, perhaps with a different starter choice.

Had lunch here yesterday with some girlfriends. We were particularly impressed by the service. The fishcake starter was tasty and ample. I don't go there enough. Will visit more in future.

Nicky Caughey and his staff put on another fabulous night. It was for the 50th anniversary of the TT and North Down house. It started off with a champagne reception followed by a 5 course meal which was of 5* quality. There was a magician, Alex Kazaan, who came round each table - amazing. None of us could work out how he did his incredible tricks (illusions). totally mystifying - brilliant. That was followed by John Lynas singing, playing guitar with backing tracks. He was fantastic too with his lovely velvety voice. Played a brilliant range of music. Great to dance to. Congratulations TT.

My friend had suggested here for a catch up and dinner, wouldn't have been somewhere I would have thought of going, but really glad I did!! nice atmosphere, busy and good service, had a steak sandwich which was delicious and mint aero cheesecake, average prices, early bird mon- thurs 5pm -6.30pm which is great value look forward to my next visit and will recommend.
