Supposed to be a special birthday dinner. Firstly an inexperienced waitress spilled red wine all over my niece. She didn't even have the grace to apologize. The food was hit and miss...some good some not so. If you have any dietary requirements I would beware as we were lied to by the kitchen. All in all an overpriced and very unsatisfactory experience

What a treat to have such great service and food at our one night stay in Derry. Food was beautifully prepared and presented. Service was attentive and professional. Decor and style of this restaurant were high end but prices didn’t seem much more than good value for the quality. Highly recommend.

Went here for lunch. No one there which meant had a nice seat by window. Service wasnt great, a bit cheeky. Food was poor. Had the fish and chips which for some reason still serving on wooden blocks which is 10 years out of fashion. Dessert was a cheesecake special which turned out to be de constructed which is a fancy word for not actually done. Terrible.

We were visiting Derry for the day and stopped here for lunch. I had catch of the day which was cod with potatoes and vegetables and a lovely sauce. My husband had goats cheese salad. Both dishes were delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended.

We took a group of 6 in for dinner. Our service was great. However, being in the food & beverage industry for over 20 years, the meal was very disappointing. The scallops were so over cooked, they were hard. They didn’t have what I ordered, so they recommended the lamb chop, one lamp chop overcooked with no taste. I spoke with the manager who had every opportunity to apologize for the experience but never did. It was a very over priced meal and I would not recommend it to anyone.

The scotch egg starter was nice but small and it just came out in the middle of a bare plate, no real garnish. To be honest, for the cost - £8.50 - this scotch egg really could have been doing with being a bit bigger or maybe even two eggs. Wasn’t worth the price. My main - fish and chips - cost £18 so needs to be very special right? The chips were just okay. The fish was served as two pieces. I only like breaded or battered fish with no bones and no skin which is why I went for this. The fish was underdone, I mean rare. The batter was okay but I as hate skin on fish, and this fish had its skin on with the batter attached to it (why?) i had to throw away half my batter with the skin. It came on a swirl of cold pea pure which I didn’t like at all. So not great. Again small portions. I left disappointed.

We were staying in a hotel around the corner, so we decided to book into Shipquay Hotel’s restaurant for food. The restaurant itself is a very nice dining room and it was very busy so there was a good atmosphere. The service was friendly, and the food was great. I had the boxty starter and to be honest I was expecting a large traditional style dish, but it was an inventive spin on it. My other half had the soup and had no complaints. For mains I had the seabass. The fish was very well cooked, and the dish as a whole was well presented and tasted lovely. My partner had the pork and was very well pleased. The only complaint was we didn’t have room for desserts! But we did have a couple of cocktails each which were delicious and well presented. All in this was a great restaurant and I’ve already recommended it to friends that are visiting the area soon. Keep up the good work!

Came here with a group friends. Service wasn’t great , however when with a group we didn’t really notice. The staff are really nice however the younger male waiters could do with a little training. When we asked one if we could order a drink he answered ‘not now I’m a bit busy’ My friend ordered a drink a few times and it never arrived. The burger was tasty, I ordered it as the other mains didn’t come with a side and were quite expensive. The tempura fish starter was not great at all. Not worth the £9 The cloud martini is fun! Nice espresso martinis

We had dinner and breakfast here as we were staying in the hotel. The staff were very helpful and didn't bat and eyelid at my mains dinner order which was a deviation from the menu as I don't eat shellfish. The food was plentiful and very good. We gave a tip with payment and the very honest manageress came after us as she thought we had given her too much money. Would not hesitate to recommend here.

All in all it was average .. firstly we were delighted to be able and check in early at 1.45pm even tho we didn’t mind waiting ..and we got a lovely glass of Prosecco on arrival. When we got to our room we had paid for a superior . It was nice but tiny ..toilet seat was broken and the carpet could have done with a hoover and a deep clean, found it strange no milk even uht in room ..we were on 3rd floor and even tho told at reception we could order milk .. it just seemed to put the staff at more stress .. hence next comments .. we had dinner booked for 8pm so at 5 we headed to the bar …. Blimey the bar man was definitely having a bad day .. his words to my husband when he said are you ok to serve us ‘ im on the grave yard shift mate’ his attitude was shocking .. we sat on tho and because we were on our wee holiday we continued to have a couple of drinks in the bar, he came round eventually but very unprofessional! Dinner was ok… starter .. deep fried seafood fritters were horrendous ..salmon and fish and ok for mains … waitress at breakfast was lovely ..we travel a lot but found this place mediocre ..we wouldn’t stay again and tbh we felt the staff were all knackered!

The food here is nice. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 is because I ordered the monkfish and was given the tail end. Not very good. The rest was fine. Husband had cod n chips. He said it was the best ever. Wish I’d ordered that! Starters were good. I had soup, hubby boxty.

Arrived in the ground floor bar. Served two warm beers and the excuse when asked "we were flat out all day" poor. We checked 15 mins before aour booking and seated immediately. Despite being given the menu almost right away the staff refused when asked to take our order. 30 minutes and 15 minutes after our original booking time out order was take. 30 mins later our food (single course) was served. Poor . Booking was 6.30 as we were off to a show for 8pm so keen to get going. 7.13pm almost an hour after we arrived we were presented with our food . Poor . see pics. Almost £40 for surf & turf. 4x chips in the smallest pot I have served beed served. Poor. The surf was £8 add on. Poor. The steak portion was good and cooked to perfection. ✓. Service was awfull . Junior staff were not well enough trained to take food orders and the kitchen was obviously flat out. No for me I'm afraid I expect better service than that.

We had sea bass and monkfish both of which were cooked perfectly. My wife doesn't consume alcohol and their bartender made up a nice 'mocktail' for her to enjoy!!! Can't recommen this place enough

I was looking forward to our dinner with friends at the Shipquay Hotel after viewing the menu online. Firstly, it was difficult to park in the busy city centre location...not the fault of Shipquay hotel admittedly but on entering the restaurant, it was reasonably quiet but busy set in a comfortable surrounding. For starters, we had the Shipqay Boxty (Potato pancake) which had a breakfasty twist, pleasant starter and a reasonable portion for starters. Complimentary soup was provided (Onion and thyme) on the night) to those in the party not eating starters, nice touch from the friendly and helpful staff. All in all, started reasonably well and I was looking forward to the main. For mains, our party had the Trio of lamb, fish and chips, Beetroot and red onion tarte tatin and I had the fillt steak (with bump option of surf and turf). The unforgivable problem here was firstly the steak. The steak was ordered medium rare and expecting a nice juicy 8oz steak, I got anything but. The steak was overcooked, arriving medium instead of medium rare, and the steak just felt a little low quality, missing the mark of the pomp and fayre of the Irish Hereford proclamation on the menu. Overcooked steak in a hotel restaurant that presents this type of A La carte menu is unforgiveable in my book, (By the way, the fillet steak was a fairly high price to pay for such disappointment). Also, the surf and turf option is just not worth it for the tiny scallop and tempura fritter. We also had another issue....the beetroot tarte tatin. Tarte tatin, a normally placed upside down tarte, was again far from its seemingly idyllic description. Simply put, it was a piece of cooked pastry laden with large chunks of beetroot and red onion with some salad plonked in the centre. Do not recommend this one at all. Other dishes like the lamb and fish n chips were reported as pretty good by the diners in our party. All in all, the service was good, and restaurant staff were helpful and friendly and probably saved the review from the dreaded 1 star. Shipquay restaurant needs to look at some of these dishes and take greater care, especially around steak preparation, which is restaurant 101 territory. Also, need to look at responsiveness on their Facebook messenger, which doesn't really address diner dissatisfaction.

Absolutely terrible experience. Actually really annoyed after my visit here. Booked in a week in advance to celebrate a recent promotion with my family. Was left waiting an hour and 10 minutes for food to come to the table. 2 of the fish dishes were absolutely terrible. Very watery however we couldn’t afford to wait another hour for two more dishes to come out. The manager wasn’t very helpful and only offered 2 free sides. I want management to contact me asap as this was simply a terrible experience and we definitely won’t be back.

Amazing, one of the most relaxing places I’ve ever had an afternoon lunch. My partner and I had the fresh haddock & chips and Hereford prime beef burger, both 10/10 top quality. The staff were so friendly and the place really has that boutique hotel feel. This restaurant would not be out of place in Dublin or London! The atmosphere was very relaxing with good music for a chilled autumn afternoon. The wine was very good and the service was second to none. We will definitely stay in this hotel on our next trip to derry. Very reasonable prices also. £40 for 2 glasses of red, 2 main courses with sides.

This is my favourite restaurant, the food is amazing and the staff are all very nice! My wife and I come to the Old Docks every year for our wedding anniversary. My Facebook profile picture has been a selfie of my wife and I outside the door of the restraunt for two years in a row. My only little niggle I have is that the restaurant can get a bit noisy. The music can be a wee bit loud and at Christmas they have a dancing Santa who hands out presents. This is lovely for people who are into this, but I prefer just to enjoy their good food and have conversation that I can hear. The Old Docks are very easy to book a table with. I have a child with special needs and the staff are always great, trying to put us out of the way because my child has sensory issues. During the normal seasonal dining the staff have gone out of their way to also turn the music down a little when I explained my child had special needs. It is great to see a restaurant showing such understanding. I don't expect this treatment or for other people to have to accommodate our family's special requirements, but I am very grateful when they try to help us. I can hardly wait until it's my birthday and I can tuck into their sweet, sticky, chilli prawns and steak served with bacon and cheese mash and an extra side of mushrooms that melt in the mouth! I totally recommend this restaurant, it has some of the best food in the city!
