We had the vegan burgers with a couple of sides, plus dessert. The food was REALLY tasty and the staff friendly and helpful. Price was very reasonable. We were passing thought on our way to the Cairnryan ferry, but if we're within 20 miles again we'll definitely eat there. Thanks to all the staff!

I have been to The Holstones a few times now and i could not recommend it more. I came a few weekends back with a group of friends and we had a great experience. We had two vegans, a vegetarian and a carnivore, we managed to please everyone. The food is amazing here, you can understand why they have won so many awards. Also, they have a large vegan menu, with multiple options, spoiled for choice. Its one of the best around the north coast for vegan food. I would recommend the starter of seitan, so good, i don't even like seiten normally but this is delicious.

Went in for lunch as its dog friendly. Decor quite nice, friendly greeting from staff. Wife ordered Korean chicken and chips, I went for their seafood linguine from their specials menu. Chicken was OK, chips were poor, we didn't eat them, very thick and dry. My linguine was exceptionally bad. I was quite hungry and I'm not a fussy eater, so thought I'd just eat it, but after a couple of mouthfuls I simply couldn't continue, it was just so bland and unpalatable. I dont understand how the fish and prawns were so tasteless. They must have been frozen for some time, couldn't have been fresh tasting like that. I ended up returning the dish as I just couldn't eat it. Waitress apologised and said she's make the chef aware. However, when I went to pay it was still on the bill, I wasn't going to argue over £16.99 on the £50 bill, so paid and left. Very disappointing. Few other issues, first waitress took order of water jug when we sat, she never appeared with it, had to ask a 2nd waitress. Also asked 2nd waitress for a small glass of wine, she provided a large which is awkward to return for a small, very poor attention from staff.

Myself and husband had the best vegan meal that we both have had in a long time! The seiten starter was exceptional, my husbands main of tempura broccoli with mustard mash and various sauces was one of the nicest things we've eaten out. The portion was massive and and very well thought out with the puree and cream sauce that brought the whole dish together. We enjoyed very moreish cocktails and shared a vegan dessert of spiced crumble which finished a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back, soon!

The nut roast on the vegan menu is genuinely amazing. Easily the most delicious and fresh, and well prepared item of that type I've ever had at a restaurant. My only criticism is the music can be a little too loud, and one of the seats being right beside the bar seems a misstep and not really conducive to a relaxing and romantic meal. However, the food is so sensational that I wouldn't really care that much.

Went today for a birthday dinner and what I could only describe as complete shambles lunch was at 1.30pm and when taking the order for dinner now remembering it is Sunday and most people like a Roast dinner we're told they only had 5 chicken left and we were a table of 20+ people . We then waited another 90 minutes before the dinner arrived and to describe it as a small portion is an understatement a chicken breast stuffed wrapped in ham and cut in half and it is only a half of the breast of chicken per dinner .and the price £16:95 Having been over a year since I had been there it will be as long again before we are back . The sweet were similar took orders and then came to say they had none left . Left after 3 hour very disappointed 😞

We had a really good dinner here. The food was excellent and the servers very polite. The wait for the food was quite long, but I think that is because they do take the time to prepare it well. So be prepared to wait a bit, but it was worth the wait. I would say the desserts were good, but not quite as great as the starters and mains.

Wow, what a meal... don't count the calories and treat yourself to a feast... loved the cauliflower popcorn, Korean beef and the magnificent onion! Every main course choice was a winner too. What a range of cheesecake and sundae options..! Service was excellent and the surroundings are particularly cosy in the front room with the log burner blazing - quieter in the back room where we were seated but we moved to the fire for our coffees before dragging ourselves away

We stopped in here while passing through Ballymoney and were looking for somewhere for lunch. Well, what a gem we ended up finding. A lovely little restaurant. We picked the 2 courses for £20 option and ordered the turkey and ham roast dinner and a dessert. The turkey and ham was delicious and well proportioned. The desserts were also beautiful. I would highly recommend this place, and if I'm ever passing through Ballymoney again or near the area, I will dining in here again. Top marks.

Ordered a takeaway, was told it would be 30 mins that was no problem however when we went to collect we ended up waiting an additional 30 mins. The restaurant was absolutely empty and only towards the end of the wait did someone come over and say that it was delayed as the “chefs” burnt the pizza but no apology. About that pizza, soggier than a wet sock, you couldn’t hold it without it tearing apart and the cheese was barely attached to it. Carbonara, probably the worst pasta we’ve ever had, absolutely no seasoning or taste at all it’s something when even the pasta itself has no taste, I don’t know how the restaurant or “chefs” aren’t embarrassed by this. Smaller issues such as the dips, big tub we thought at least they are generous with this but no tub wasn’t even a 1/3 full. Cheesecake, we got 2, £7 each for a tiny slab, don’t expect them to be flavoured as advertised such as milkybar the only milkybar in it is the few buttons they put on top of it, oh and can’t forget about the squirty cream from a can. £50 for this experience is just disgusting to be honest.

Took MIL out for the day. Called in for a bite. Ordered MIL fish and chips, fish was mostly batter and very heavily cooked, dark brown, chips were fine. I had peppered chicken, chicken was hard as a brick. Champ, pepper sauce and tobacco onions were nice enough. Staff were lovely and the place is clean. Not overly mad on the seating and the tables are very small.

Terrible restaurant that served me a meal from the freezer which was still frozen. What about freshly made food? I DO NOT THINK EVEN GORDON RAMSAY HAD COME ACROSS A RESTAURANT SERVING FROZEN FOOD IN HIS PROGRAMME "KITCHEN NIGHTMARE ". How does a restaurant go from a 5 star award previously to a 1 star. If there had been an option to give No star, I would have taken that! Here is the story: Since its opening we had been going to this restaurant regularly encouraging our friends to go and bringing various friends. There are not many restaurants in Ballymoney, by the way. Sadly, over time we started to see a sharp downwards turn in their service and food. Waiting times are long over 1 hour for the main course at least. Some of our friends left after the starter as it took far too long. The portions have shrunk in size. There is no large Vegan Yorkshire pudding any longer with the Nut roast. The nutroast itself has shrunk to a quarter of its original size. The reason why there is no vegan Yorkshire pudding according to the owner Chloe Clarke, they can not source the ingredients. Being a cook myself I sent them a recipe as one only need alternative milk, flour, baking powder and water, I had even sent them a recipe. The Yorkshire pudding was never replaced leaving a big hole on the plate. The worst thing happened during our last visit in May. Again, it took over an hour for our dinner to arrive. We were so hungry, but my meal was totally uneatable. It was deeply frozen. A restaurant with aspirations of being of high standing, this is totally unacceptable. I go out for dinner to eat freshly prepared food not pre-prepared which had been in the freezer for God knows how long and warmed up in the microwave. It is really of no surprise. The chef was in and out of the kitchen smoking with two women in a car right outside the restaurant. I wrote a complaint to the co-owner Chloe Clarke and sadly no response. We were then given a voucher to dine at the Holestone by our friends not knowing about our awful experience. I decided to go to the Holestone in person to ask if the voucher could be redeemed for cash as our last experience was such that we did not want to dine there again. Chloe Clarke did not take any responsibility; she just became offence and aggressive ending with “We do not want you to come back here!”. Little does she know how much we have supported her business in the past.

Have been here a few times before,but WON'T be back. Had a starter between us,two mains and still waiting for the desert. My Korean chicken was fine but my friend asked for a sirloin steak. We should have gotten two and they could have been used to resole a pair of shoes. The unfortunate waitress was overrun, as she was also making cocktails, collecting meals from the upstairs kitchen and trying to clear tables while taking orders. OWNER GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER

Stopped in for late lunch on a drive back from Giants Causeway to Belfast. This was a sleepy little town. There were a few restaurants along the Main Street and we opted for this one. The ambiance was pleasant and fairly casual. Service was nice, but slowwww. Took us a while to get our bill and leave at the end. I know this is more common in Ireland/EU, but this was particularly long as we were generally ignored after food arrived. Maybe the time of day and minimal staff. Anyway the food was pretty good. There were vegan options. A kids menu. And the beer hit the spot. Would probably try another spot next time, but no real reason not to return here. Give it a try!

Menu is very nice, very reasonable prices and plenty to suit everyone’s taste. Also very impressed at the vegan menu! We tried the BBQ and Korean chicken for starters, which was amazing. Goujons and chips were lovely. The vegan nut roast which also very lovely too. Service was prompt. There was a really nice atmosphere. The waitresses were incredibly friendly and had great customer service. The ladies bathrooms were also extremely nice 😂 genuinely one of the nicest I’ve been in in a while in a public place.

Very disappointed, Had my daughters birthday party in here last weekend which had been booked in advance , so they knew how many to exspect. Only had 2 staff on, the service was awful we sat ages before even someone came near us to take r order, the wait on Starters took a long time then had to go ask them if they could come lift plates so that we could get main course. One meal was steak had to be sent back as was ment to be medium to well done and was barely cooked and like rubber, had the same steak brought back was slightly more cooked but still uneatable. Same again had to go up ask if they could collect plates so some of us could get desserts, just so slow...Got 5 kids meals and was charged an additional 5pound each for icecream so kids food and icecream cost £11. Table was booked for 1:30 we wernt getting out of place til 4:30, Definitely would not recommend and will not be back here again. 😑

We went here for a meal as I alway went when it was formerly Mollys, but was kinda disappointed. Long wait on food, I ask for my steak to be medium to well done and no blood, it came almost rare. I politely asked for it to be cooked more and no blood again, it came back re-plated and exactly the same. I braved trying to eat it but just wasn’t to my taste. Disappointed as the rest of the food was delicious and my partners vegan meal was amazing. Also on menu it said a free drink with meals and we got charged for this extra, when I paid and noticed I waited for about 10 mins to speak to someone but no one came to bar. Could have been busy but they would have seen me. Staff all looked to be really hard working and kudos to them. Better experience when it was formerly Mollys. Not sure I’d go back.

Great vegan menu with a fabulous variety to choose from . Even presented a vegan dessert. I was really surprised at this. The food was well presented and tasted marvellous. The staff were attentive and pleasant with very nice manners. The atmosphere was welcoming with smooth jazz quietly playing in the background. We definitely would recommend The Holestone as a excellent dining experience.

Went to the holestone about 2 weeks ago. I got the chilli chicken penne pasta and my wife got the calzone, we shared a side of salt and chilli fries. My wife really enjoyed hers, and I thought mine was OK as the sauce was quite watery, not really to my taste. Everytime I lifted pasta out the sauce splashed everywhere. The staff were very friendly, and I can't say anything negative against them. The one negative I did have was the fact it took almost 50 minutes for our food to come out from when we ordered it. It wasn't overly busy either, there was maybe 6-7 tables with the biggest party I could see totalling 5 or 6 people. I know a lot of people like the place, but I don't think I'll be rushing back.

The food was good. But the place wasn’t full and the wait was way too long. I was on my own at my table, and I ordered the soup of the day and a dessert, two things that should take 5 mins to bring. I was 1h30 in this restaurant, between the wait to get a menu, the wait to get the order, the wait to get a simple soup (1/2h) and the wait to get the dessert…

A brilliant wee spot for a catch up with friends, family outing or a meeting with colleagues, small enough to not feel commercial and big enough to not feel cramped. Loads of Gluten Free, Vegan and Diary free options and really great coffee. 100% recommend the Gitwe by La Cabra pour-over along with a brioche bun.

We had a lovely time here sitting outside the cafe on a warm day. The service was excellent. We all had rhubarb tart and it was absolutely beautiful. The cafe is clean. Perfect venue for a trip out.

Food was great and service was excellent. Chloe and Carol went above and beyond to make sure our grandson's birthday dinner was a lovely experience for us all. Nothing was too much bother and they made a lovely evening extra special.

We hit the door of the Scenic Inn on our way back from Giants Causeway. We didn't have a booking, but decided to chance it and to our surprise we were told that the table is available. There is plenty of parking outside and even a small but equipped playground for the young patrons. The restaurant is very clean, spacious and connected with a Pub. The serving staff was absolutely brilliant, our kids received colouring pages with games and pictures with a good set of crayons. Now the food....Food was amazing, fresh and most importantly tasty and mouthwate. I have wet the fresh battered cod with garlic chips and my wife decided to go with ribeye steak (medium ) and champs. Our kids had kids menu consisting of chicken curry and bangers and mash. Omg this food was a symphony to our stomachs and tasting buds. Really, really nice, well presented, we didn't have to wait for too long and the waiting staff was very helpful. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant as it is a unique and amazing experience. BTW - everything is so well and reasonably priced. It's a no brainer!!
