Beautiful venue. Lovely food. However not enough savory,for the price you should be given the option of more sandwiches, however this would cost extra again. Lovely staff.

My mum brought me here for a afternoon tea. As usual, no complaints. Food was beautiful, staff more than helpful. A window seat was requested when booking, and thats what we got. They also added a special touch, they surprised us by bringing out a happy birthday message on a board and a cupcake with a candle lit singing happy birthday. Have been here before for afternoon tea, its always great service and food.

This came in 2 stages. The savoury of sandwiches, and a taster of soup, sausage roll, mini wrap and camberert cheese on toast was just the right amount. The sweet stage was beautifully presented as a set of drawers. It was too much to eat at the sitting so the server put the remainder in a small box for us to eat later.

My husband and I decided to treat my daughter to afternoon tea as a special celebration. We were given a choice of times and we choose 530pm. The conservatory was a little chilly and my husband kept his coat on the entire time.The tea was served in two stained stainless Steel teapots.The curry soup was delicious but sadly the bread on the outside of the sandwiches was dry so obviously they had not been freshly prepared at that time of the day. The next course was very disappointing. We associate traditional afternoon tea with award winning freshly baked scones and clotted cream etc. The scones were hard and we were given one Small portion of Jam and whipped cream for 6 scones! We did not ask for more jam and cream as the scones were hard and so 2 were left in the bottom drawer of the cake stand and the other one at the side of my husbands plate. I’m not sure what portion of cream and jam would have been given for two people!We were not offered the scones to take home and we certainly would not have availed of that offer. The cheese cake was tasteless and served at room temperature. The chocolate dessert was delicious as were the macaroons. I’m afraid I would not be rushing back to Galgorm Manor for afternoon tea. This afternoon tea should be very special for such a beautiful venue.

The River Room & Conservatory is just exquisite, the staff there are so friendly and welcoming too. We had an lovely breakfast there this week and I couldn't be more delighted with the experience, the food and the service. As a vegetarian,breakfast can often be a hit or miss experience, however River Room /Conservatory provided a great variety of options, the food was delicious and the staff there went out of their way to accommodate. You can clearly see the that staff are working flat out to meet ever customer's needs. I honestly can't see how anyone can say anything different. The fact that there is an ongoing pandemic and they can still maintain this standard is just incredible and a credit to them. Thank-you

We informed the staff prior to our visit and they were excellent. They seated us in a booth away from other customers and we felt more relaxed. They couldn't have done more to make the day great for us and we have booked again for the restaurant. We were really put at ease. The food as usual was first class and the gluten free option was just as great. Would certainly recommend.

We dined here while staying at Galgorm. We had the tasting menu which was delicious from start to finish. Particular highlights were the duck & foie gras and the sea bass but hard to choose a favourite. All beautifully presented with excellent service. Lovely glass of pink champagne to start meal. Difficult to choose wine as wine list was excellent. It was perfectly chilled. Lovely chilled vibe despite being fine dining which can often be a tad stuffy. Very reasonably priced given the quality of the food. I'd go back in a flash.

We shared a lovely afternoon with some friends, celebrating the 99th birthday of a delightful lady we have known for many years. The location was perfect although the service was a bit slow. The afternoon tea itself was fabulous with one exception. They advertise clotted cream ( which I adore ), but they served well whipped double cream instead. Disappointing, but the atmosphere and the reaction of the other guests made up for it.

We were staying at Galgorm and opted to have dinner here as the fine dining option. The other two restaurants at Galgorm offered more casual fare and the atmosphere seemed to feel like those noisy restaurants chains we have at home (Canada). The previous two nights we had spent at a Hilton in another part of Ireland and there were some very noisy conference participants everywhere. We just wanted a nice and relaxing fine dining experience and we were not disappointed. We decided to have their tasting menu that gave you a pretty good sampling of what they offered on the a la carte menu, just smaller portions. The tasting menu is offered with wine pairings but we decided to order a bottle of wine. The restaurant was not that busy, certainly by comparison to the other more casual restaurants at Galgorm, but busy enough that you did not feel alone. The servers were very attentive and each course was enjoyable. We were really impressed when the server rolled out the cart for the cheese course and described each cheese with their flavour profile before deciding which ones we wanted. It was an excellent meal and we were very glad we choose the tasting menu. If in Galgorm and want a fine dining experience, we would recommend.

We enjoyed three courses of delicious and imaginative food and the whole experience will live long in the memory. Particular highlights included the perfectly cooked lamb and the complementary celeriac purée and concentrated chicken broth amuse bouche. Every course was noteworthy and enjoyable. The wine list is varied and reasonably priced.

Joined friends for a beautiful Sunday lunch. Excellent service and amazing food, accompanied by an extensive wine list. The staff were attentive but not intrusive and the lovely atmosphere enhanced the dining experience. I would highly recommend this venue! It’s a little expensive but well worth it. You are very unlikely to serve food like this at home so don’t hesitate to book this superb restaurant. Simply excellent...!

I have been here recently with my partener and we both enjoyed the summer afternoon tea. Service and food were very high quality! Can't wait to go back.

We've visited Rose Cafe many times and haev never been disappointed. They do a tasty fry, really lovely coffee and tea, and an amazing selection of homespun Sunday dinners! Highly recommended. Every time we go, we're stunned at the great value for money. The icing on the cake is the friendly owner, who shows she's glad of the business and always make us glad we dropped in.
