QUAYWEST in Derry

We came for lunch. Based on the reviews I was expecting something a little more polished. Was sent to sit “upstairs” which had more school cafeteria vibe than full service restaurant. Our server was sweet but on average this was a loud restaurant (many tables under 15 years old ) with a screaming baby and oblivious care givers next to us. I had the steak sandwich. (More anions than steak and 3 mushrooms. ) At least the toast was good - and chips. Partner had the prawn sandwich. (Prawns swimming in a mayo sauce and so much butter it looked like a slice of cheese on the bread) Taste wise these were not bad choices but felt slapped together and could have been easily elevated. 1500 reviews can’t be “wrong” but I clearly was expecting better. More pub grub than foodie forward. Great downtown location.

It's so unfortunate because Quaywest was our family go to resturant in the town. We were a party of 5, one of which is a vegetarian. She ordered the 'Vegan Stuffed Pepper' halfway through eating it she discovered there were CHICKEN pieces mixed up in the rice. When we looked through the rest of the dish, there were tiny pieces of chicken. The waiting staff couldn't have been nicer and was very kind to the person in our party who was very upset and was crying when she realised. We couldn't fault the rest of our food. unfortunately we had a traumatised family member. Thank you to The staff who were very apologetic and sympathetic.

Food of the highest quality, excellent choice, very friendly staff, huge attention to the customer, super clean bathroom even at the end of the shift. To return to taste other wonders! Good, very good experience!

Me and my partner visited here for drinks and dinner. Ensure you always book because walk ins are difficult to get as its such a busy place. The waiters and waitresses are just so friendly and the 50/50 is outa this world

Delicious food!! Our experience was made all the better by our lovely waitress Hannah who was so pleasant and helpful!!

Food was lovely staff were so friendly especially our table service girl shoes name was KATIE so friendly and helpful it was a pleasure to have her service today 100 percent happy 👍

This was our first visit since the refurbishment and everything looks really good. However it was a Friday evening so the restaurant was very busy. It is good to have a buzz in a restaurant but neither the food or service was up to the usual standard. We waited quite a while for our food and when it arrived the plates were so hot the poor young man had to find something to protect his hands. The sauces were congealed but the side of chips were cold. I brought this to our waitress's attention and another portion of chips arrived swiftly but although hot they were very poor chips. The vegetables were horrible, the cabbage was soggy and everything else was so hard we couldn't get a fork into them. This was the worst food we have ever had in Quaywest. Fortunately the dessert, creme brulee, was good. Our waitress was very lacking in charm and seemed to want to hurry us along. As always the bill was a good price and when I gave feed back about the vegetables they were removed from it. But it will be quite a while before we eat at Quaywest again and definitely not on a Friday, they are just too busy to deliver a good meal in a pleasant atmosphere.

This place is excellent. Lovely furnishings, nice atmosphere, great menu choice, delicious food and all in all excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Outside Derry's walled city centre, but on the river and about 5 mins walk from the Peace Bridge, this restaurant wasn't too busy when we visited on Sunday evening. A friendly informal atmosphere, but with well-cooked gastropub dishes. I had escalope of chicken, which was really tender, with peppered sauce and champ (mash with chopped spring onions), while he had seabass - light, beautifully cooked and deboned, with a side of vegetables. (All mains come with a free side dish). Service was attentive, but not pushy, and the food came quickly, and was piping hot. There's no room to hide in simple dishes, and these were great.

Have regular business lunches here and although I'm a fan of the food 90% of the time it has no atmosphere like it used to. The place has an unhealthy obsession with girly pop and country music, seems to be playing the same all the time.

Abbiamo assaporato i buoni cocktail e anche gli antipasti. Successivamente abbiamo mangiato i piatti principali, davvero saporiti (forse un po’ troppo piccanti alcuni, ma complessivamente buoni). Il servizio inizialmente ha lasciato un po’ a desiderare, ma poi nella seconda parte della cena ci ha servito Ryan: sola parola, Bravissimo! Ci sa proprio fare, ottima cordialità e simpatia, riusciva a parlare con tavoli di varie nazionalità e a far sorridere serenamente tutti. Consigliato

Brilliant food, great staff. Would recommend the salmon and the champ. Everything was freshly made and piping hot (not lukewarm from a microwave). We will definitely be back next time we're in Ferry.

A firm favourite of mine when I’m back in derry visiting family. Never disappoints the atmosphere, the staff and above all the food. Fantastic quality, portions, and price couldn’t ask for more. Love the Caesar salad and the Chilli Chicken pocket - yum!

We visited with friends on a Friday night. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and efficient. We chose from the £9 menu and we were pleasantly surprised by the value for money, the servings were ample, well-presented and tasty. We will definitely return.

Fabulous food and fantastic value for money. The service was extremely quick, overall a great experience. Will definitely be back.

Had a lovely meal with lovely happy friendly staff this made our experience so nice. Chloe and Katie were so helpful as were all the staff will return. Lovely food and quick service nothing was a bother to staff service ❤️

Went here as a family for a birthday celebration. Has been redecorated since I was last here and it's looking great. We were served by Theresa who was very friendly and helpful. Food arrived pretty prompt and it all was absolutely beautiful and we had no complaints whatsoever (compliments to the chef 👏🏻). Good portions, well presented and was great value for money.

We came on a Thursday for the Steak night. Restaurant has a nice vibe and staff are lovely . The starter to share was tasty especially the wings and nachos. The steak was delicious and lovely sides. The pepper sauce is a bit too peppery but the red wine just was nice. We also got a bottle of wine which was £16. Would recommend the steak night, a drink along with the offer would make it even better !

Presentation of the food is excellent. Cooked very well, no obvious negatives with the food. Staff are pleasant and swift.

My husband and I had the most beautiful meal yesterday evening in Quaywest. Somewhere, I would have visited frequently with my Mammy and Sister over the year's but don't get in as often now, unfortunately. Last night was a real treat as we both wanted steak it was their amazing meal deal offer of a sharing platter starter, 2 Sirloins, Onions rings, Pepper sauce and choice of side for £35, unreal! I prefer fillet steak (im fussy), but my husband got the sirloin, both we absolutely stunning & arrived in great time. Topped by our wonderful waitress, Majella who was polite, not afraid to enjoy the craic with us (which is so good for customer sevice), very informative and extremely attentive. You are a credit Majella as great customer service is extremely hard to find these days. (She deserves a Thursday evening off to enjoy her own steak night) lol! All staff where fantastic 👏 Thank-you for a beautiful evening, can't wait to get back 🙌 😀

Only get to visit this place a couple of times a year when visiting the Maiden city so couldn’t take advantage of their loyalty card offer at minute, but prices still very competitive and portions always great sizes. We went midweek and place was buzzing. As usual we watched other people’s dishes come out before deciding what to order, but in the end went for the tried and tested Spicy chicken pasta and Salt n chilli chicken with garlic potatoes. Unfortunately to full to try the ‘Credit crunch’ dessert- Honeycomb ice cream with crunchie pieces, by memory best dessert in long time

I fortunately booked this restaurant online for a Thursday evening in Derry as it was so busy. There was a couples deal £34 for a sharing platter which consisted of garlic ciabatta bread, nachos and chicken wings & and main dish of 2 sirloin steaks with sauce & onion ring with choice of side. This was good quality food with a nice ambiance in the restaurant. It’s a popular restaurant with a full bar, wine section and bar staff eager & ready to prepare cocktails so Booking your table is advised. The staff were welcoming and attentive and I was surprised that the waiter brought our wine in an ice bucket for the table but didn’t open it or pour. A napkin or cloth would be safe around the chilled bottle to prevent slipping. This restaurant also offers a loyalty program if you dine more than 5 times you will benefit from reduced prices which makes this your go to place for affordable tasty quality food.

Brilliant food , great service and reasonably price. Great experience. We had the nachos as an entree it served very differently to anything I’ve ever seen and was delicious also the lamb shank and duck breast I can highly recommend

Took a punt today on where to go to eat to celebrate exam results with family. Lucky for us it paid off! We hadn’t booked, but when asked could take in a walk in the friendly front of house guy said give us a couple minutes and I’m sure we can sort you out. True to word in couple mins we were shown upstairs to table. Drinks order taken, had good look at menu, ordered starters and mains including smoked cod, chicken melter bruschetta soup and sides. Staff were so friendly. Guinness was a good pint! Food was brilliant, tasted lovely, hot, and so tasty, didn’t hold back on portion sizes either. Didn’t have desserts - didn’t have room! Price wise we all felt was brilliant value for money and as food and service was so good will def be back. Bit of banter when paying again everyone so friendly. Cocktail menu on wall and think next time will sample a couple!!! To the team there thank you and well done all!

Il locale è molto raffinato, stile steakhouse americana. E sicuramente la buona carne, rigorosamente “dry age” è una prerogativa di Quaywest. Personale adeguato, gentile e professionale. Costo in linea con le aspettative! Consigliato

We really enjoyed our meal at QuayWest on 11/8. Really good food and service by Hannah , definitely would recommend

Food OK, overpriced and same boring background music. Had some kind of bruschetta. Looked like plain toast with garlic paste. Totally over priced for the standard.

I came here with my friends. We booked their “boozy brunch” at 3:45 ad that’s the latest you could book for this service. We paid a £50 deposit to reserve our place. When we arrived we were given menus (they turned out to be normal...

Saw the Thursday night steak night advertised on Facebook today, booked a table online (really easy) and had an absolutely lovely meal, can't fault anything, service and everything great. Worth the 40 min drive 😊

Food was cold and service was very poor. This place has changed alot recently and not for the better. Very disappointed.

Nice cocktails, friendly staff, and delicious food. I wish there had been more veggie options. Good value!
