The Vines in Coleraine

Excellent food and staff make my regular visit here something to look forward to. There's plenty to chose from the menu and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Outstanding food- great waitress service. 100% for effort, cleanliness and professional service. I will definitely return for more.

We decided to have a chippy take out, our first in 3 months. Had two meals at a cost of £15, what a total waste of money. The chips were tasteless and the cod was all batter with very little fish that was like rubber. All in all very disappointed.

Stopped off at The Vines today, it was our first visit. The food was beautiful, generous portions & varied menu. The staff so friendly and accommodating and the surroundings modern, warm and welcoming. The owner Brenda is a lovely lady. We will certainly be recommending The Vines and will be back.

We had a lovely meal! Declan looked after us & went the extra mile to ensure our enjoyment. I would certainly recommend this restaurant. 🙂

Passing through and we we’re getting hungry. Stopped for take away. Had a few minutes wait so we checked out the antique store down the street. When we returned our food was ready and the sweet owner offered us a table. “You can’t eat in the car”. Food was great, best tartar sauce according to my husband. Great service. I highly recommend.

Stopped here for an full Ulster fry and I have to say it certainly was a lovely fry up. Owners were there beautiful couple so helpful and friendly. Service was excellent will certainly call again.

The restaurant and chef were very flexible for our unique arrangement to bring food to our house for a wedding celebration. They brought everything we needed for food and treats. We can't wait to visit again! The lentil soup was delicious and everyone loved the chicken curry as well.

The staff were so lovely and helpful and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was so fresh and lovely. Really enjoyed my dinner here compliments to the chef!

Will definitely be back, food exceeded all expectations, portions were unbelievably good there was enough food to go around, went with my 2 friends and 15 month old daughter and there was something for everyone and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Hats of to the chef we have 0 complaints.

Came here for the first time tonight with friends, the food was amazing in both presentation & taste. Portion sizes were so generous, so much so I couldn’t finish my food even though it tasted beautiful! I had a 3 course meal & all of the courses were phenomenal, I would definitely come back again. Massive compliments to the chef!

This is not our first visit to The Vines and we have had several meals there.However, the meal we had on Tuesday was fantastic. Our waiter a very pleasant young guy ( Jayden) offered us menus whilst sorting out some wine and water for us. There was also an optional 4 course Christmas Menu at around £23 - £24. We went instead for Gammon, Garlic Fries and Chicken Tower which came with Tobacco Onions, Peppercorn Sauce and a tasty piece of chicken, instead of Champ I switched to chunky chips! These were, I have to say the best I have ever had in Northern Ireland. Brenda ( The Owner) welcomed us and spent time chatting with us, a truly lovely lady. For desserts we had Sticky Toffee Pudding one with a large bowl of Freshly made Custard and mine with a scoop of Ice Cream.This Restaurant is a fairly informal relaxed dining style and was fairly busy , even on a wet and windy cold Tuesday early evening. I was so impressed with the lovely chips and of course the meal, I chose to thank the Chef ( Pamela) for a memorable meal. We certainly will be back and very soon....Thankyou The Vines Staff

We frequented The Vines yet again and had the most enjoyable experience. Myself, my mother and 3 children arrived and were seated immediately in homely, and modern surroundings.The staff were most attentive and i even ordered something that wasn't on the menu which was catered for with no reservations. My pasta dish was absolutely delicious and i asked for a spicy sauce which was perfection and a huge portion to boot. My mother opted for the traditional turkey and ham dinner which was melt in the mouth and served piping hot - which is how she really loves it. My oldest daughter (age 11) opted for a meal from the main menu and was able to get a childs portion of this - which was great as she preferred this option. Everyone got more than enough to eat and then there was desserts................ I didn't believe i could manage to tackle a dessert but the lady owner brought out a HUGE portion for my mother - pavlova - which was so light and a perfect finish to the meal with fresh fruits that i coulnd't resist helping her to finish. My 3 children were so delighted with thier ice cream desserts which consisted of fresh fruits and maltesers and a yummy sauce drizzled all over - again i had to sample. All this with attentive and friendly staff and so reasonably priced - we will definitely be back. Highly recommended to everyone - a must visit!!!

Very tasty food and plenty of it. Friendly staff and fairly priced menu. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again

We went for the first time on a Friday lunchtime. It wasn't particularly busy. My wife ordered the lasagna with which she was very happy and which she felt was homemade. I ordered the fish and chips which was fine enough, and was two pieces of battered fish. One piece tasted like it had been reheated, whilst the other felt more freshly cooked. It was delivered much too quickly to be fresh. It tasted fine though.

My partner and I had heard great things about this quaint little place from quite a few people and we weren’t disappointed. We got seated upon arrival by a lovely waitress called Megan, who looked after us well during our time here. We had fully loaded potatoe skins for starters, my partner had mushrooms cheese and bacon with white sauce, served with a mixed salad, I left out the bacon as I don’t eat red meat, when these arrived I was blown away by how well presented they where, and the flavours where amazing, would definitely recommend this starter to everyone. For the main course we both had chicken served on a bed of creamy champ, topped with Tabacco onions, served with a pepper sauce, we had garlic chips and salt and chilli chips for our sides. The portion sizes were amazing, so much so I couldn’t Finnish mine.

I was in the Vines to try out their famous breakfast - it was not only the best Fry I have had in a long time but the value for money was second to none. I will definitely be returning on a regular basis.

Wonderful evening at the vines in garvagh.12 of us for family meal.the food was wonderful with all 6 adults and 6 children left happy and full up after a good night.very busy ,and still good service.shall return again soon

I have been a patron of The Vines takeaway on numerous occasions & the food is cooked to a good standard. However the portion size and price seem to vary each time. Price's have gone up and quantity of food served has went down on my recent visits.

Ordered two baked cod dishes and two deep fried cod dishes arrived. Told waitress I Did not order that I wanted baked cod. She informed me us they do not do baked cod(even though it's on the menu.

Called her for dinner after a recommendation ! We were not disappointed lovely meal great value for money we will certainly be back next time we are in the area 😁👍

Was staying at a local Airbnb and decided to pop out for dinner.

After a morning sight seeing called in for Sunday lunch on our way home. Staff friendly and cheerful menu small but with a good variety. Food excellent and plentiful. We will be back in the near future for an evening meal, we will be recommending The Vines to our friends, always on the lookout for good places to eat

Excellent service, very friendly staff. They will go above and beyond to help and be attentive to everyone in the restaurant no matter how busy they are. My friend and I travelled from Australia and can say that eating at The Vines was one of our highlights. The duck is to die for, and so is the Lasagne and Irish Coffee. We make sure we tell our Aussie friends who are going to travel to Ireland that they have to call through and see Brenda and her team. Great community spirit and vibe. Hope to see you again one day.

Stop at the vines for a breakfast Today as I was doing a c p c course upstairs ten out of ten for service :-)

Im originally from Northern Ireland , and have been going back and forward from England for the last 30yrs and as always, one of the highlights is to have an Ulster fry when im home. Yesterday Me and my family happened to pop into The Vines Resturant. Thank God we did because not only did the place look amazing, The hospitality from the staff was like meeting old friends. The food was just perfect and such good value for money. The best Ulster fry I've ever tasted, and over 30 yrs thats a lot of fry's . So people if your ever in the friendly town of Garvagh, do yourself a favour and visit The Vines Resturant. I can't wait to go back next time I'm home. Thank you Dermot and Brenda not only did you put outstanding food in our tummies , you also put a smile on our faces and a warmth in our hearts. We will most definitely be coming back again.

Had driven past many times but we visited with friends on Saturday evening. Lovely food and fantastic service. This place is a little gem and a must visit. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and we’ll be back.

Held mum's 80th birthday party at The Vines last night. Brenda and her staff where fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic DJ, sourced by Brenda, played music to suit all ages. Buffet was great, Lee loved the sausage rolls!. Cannot recommend The Vines highly enough. Definitely the place to hold your party. Thanks again Brenda xxx

Another great meal at The Vines. I always come here when I'm visiting family nearby- equally good for a family meal or dinner and drinks with friends. Excellent quality of food, friendly service and children always welcomed (great baby changing facilities!) On our last visit, steaks were excellent and cooked exactly as requested. For dessert, banoffee pie was the best I've had in a long time. We will be back again next time!

Held a surprise 18th Party in the Vines function room.On arrival.room was beautifully decorated.We had a lovely buffet with delicious selection of food hot and cold.We then were entertained by a local dj with great variety of music.Thanks to Brenda and the staff for a great night.x

Found the Vines via a Google search of places to stop on the way home from a visit to the North Coast with visitors. The restaurant looked good and there were just one other table occupied when we arrived. The menu is simple and offered good value with 2 courses for £10. Three out of our party of six were vegetarian and we found the options lacking despite the information online stating this was a good place for vegetarian food. Food and service were ok, and mostly our experience was saved by the value of the offer on two courses.

I cannot thank all the staff enough for such efficient and friendly service. I booked to have my Mum and Dad's 25th wedding anniversary meal here with family and from the moment I booked they couldn't have been more helpful. The evening ran so smoothly thanks to all the staff, who had also decorated the place so beautifully. Such lovely food that came so quickly too, nothing was ever a bother to them. Thank you for making the night so special.

Took another trip to the Vines for a family event. We were in the function room upstairs, perfect with children in our party. Food was all pre-ordered and served to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Would def recommend it.

Three of us had supper at the Vines and enjoyed our meals. The service was quick and friendly, restaurant clean.

Cannot thank Brenda and the girls enough for the beautiful meal yesterday and for accommodating specific dietary needs. Ryan really enjoyed his communion and was made to feel so special. Thanks for helping to make his day so special x

Thirteen of us came over from the US, to Ireland, for my son’s wedding. I found The Vines on the Internet and could not be more pleased. Brenda and her staff made us feel at home with their friendliness and great food. Everyone enjoyed their meal and could not say enough great things about my choice. The room was beautiful! Thank you, Brenda, for making my son and fiancé’s rehearsal dinner the absolute best. You made me look good!

I called in for lunch. £10 for 2 courses with a soft drink. The garlic mushrooms were very tasty, and I opted for the day's special,,, peppered chicken. I am so glad I did! Simply delicious. The service, as usual, was excellent.

We had an excellent 50th birthday dinner for my hubby on Saturday night past (18th November) there were 47 guests in total and we had the upstairs function room all to ourselves. The room was beautifully setup, was warm and comfortably accommodated such a large party. We had the bar to ourselves, which was staffed for the duration. The service and food was excellent, Brenda and her staff could not do enough for us and all this at a very reasonable price as well. We were served a main course, sides, salad, then dessert, tea and coffee, which was all delicious and plentiful. There were 3 vegetarians in the party, all of whom were provided with the dish of their choice. Any request I made was readily met by Brenda and her staff. I would highly recommend the Vines for any function and will be back to dine with them in the restaurant soon. Thanks to Brenda and her team.

Wandered into The Vines restaurant today in Garvagh.....what a lucky find! We had their 2 course lunch offer which was not only delicious but super value at £10 each and that included a soft drink! Unfortunately we were in a hurry but would love to have stayed longer. I did have a quick look at their Christmas menu which looks excellent and again super value. Will definitely be back!

Steak perfectly cooked.gammon thick n juicy.well worth a visit.earlybird meals good value for money.

Great nite,food was great and staff an service was out standing music was also good would really recommend it thank you.

Hi went for Sunday lunch with my husband. We had a delicious meal served by very friendly and attentive staff . The menu was good but as with most places I visit I would like to see more vegan options on the menu, however this would not put me off going back.

La última noche de nuestro viaje familiar a Irlanda o Irlanda del Norte en la celebración de aniversario de mis padres 50, y nos encontramos con este restaurante ordenado. El propietario tenía una mesa especial prevista para el 10 de nosotros en un santiamén, y la comida era muy sabrosa. Tuvimos de todo, desde pescado y patatas fritas, lasaña, a pollo Maryland y los deliciosos champ, por supuesto. Varios sabrosos postres para elegir.

Visitamos Las Viñas, a mediados de la semana para una comida familiar después de mi graduación. Nos recibieron y servida por el propietario, que hizo por encima y más allá de proporcionarnos una experiencia excelente, nada era demasiado lío! La comida era de primera clase, salió rápido y no hubo problemas en ofrecer opciones sin gluten para mi madre! Sin duda recomendaré a familiares y amigos y estoy seguro de que volveremos pronto!

Estado the vines unas cuantas veces, y sinceramente nunca me ha decepcionado. El personal es muy acogedor y amable. La comida es de cinco estrellas! ! Si usted visita la Torre de parras recomiendo el pollo, que es mi personal me plato! No puedo esperar...

Mi marido y yo estábamos trabajando en la zona y pasó por las viñas, frío, hambrientos y cansados. Amy nos saludó con una sonrisa agradable y llegó rápidamente con tuberías té caliente. El menú no vendrá con mis requerimientos de adelgazamiento mundo, pero Amy dijo que pediría al chef. Me dieron un precioso a la parrilla, ensalada de bacalao fresco y encantador guisantes blandos. Estaba delicioso y "syn - gratis! ". Yo estaba absolutamente encantado, ya que es muy difícil poner plan al comer fuera.

Tenía una hermosa comida de primera clase en los viñedos con mi pareja. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Sin duda recomiendo una visita. No te decepcionará! !

This restaurant has everything! Service is always second to none - Brenda and Colm, and the rest of the staff always make us feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Food is beautiful - one of the tastiest steaks I have ever tasted.

If you haven't visited The Vines then you are missing out !!A fantastic menu , even a special Gluten Free Menu , with superb tasting food . Nothing is a problem to the waiting staff or the Chefs . We were served by Amy who was so friendly . We've been now 3 times and we can't wait to go back ! A gem

Just had a fabulous meal at this lovely place, first time calling on the way past and it did not disappoint. Staff were so friendly, courteous and helpful and the owner made a point of speaking to us and making us welcome. We had the early bird, 2 courses for £10, great value. Looked at the a la carte before we left and will definitely be back to try it. Thank you for a relaxing eating experience after a hard weeks work, can certainly recommend it

Was here at a wedding last week and the whole day was fantastic. Food brilliant, prices excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful all in all a fantastic day

Delicious lunch which was great value. Owner very attentive and takes time to interact with patrons.

We have been to the vines twice for family get together since Xmas. First time was a 40th birthday party buffet which was upstair in there party room. A stunning room to book party's . . Second time was for an 80th birthday party. Both time we had over 20 people in our company. The Vines is an excellent place to go to. Food was amazing can't fault it at all, if anything there was far to much. Staff was unbelievable friendly. Nothin was a problem for them. Even the bosses Brenda an Colm was there an 2 very nice people. Beautiful place on inside. Hopefully we will get back over again very soon.

Lovely food and excellent service! Priced fairly reasonably as well with lots of choice on the menu for starters, mains and dessert.

Such delicious food!My hubby and I popped in for breakfast this week and were delighted to be greeted by two very pleasant members of staff (Enda and Jolene) who just could not be helpful enough in assisting us with our food choices. Hubby had a full Irish Breakfast - bacon, sausages, eggs, soda, potato bread, pancake, beans and tea (included in the price of the full Irish!!) I'm a veggie and so had all the above (with coffee) but without the meat and egg - oh so yummy, just delicious! Our meals were very well priced, in fact, excellent value for money in lovely surroundings!!!!Make a visit - you'll be glad you did!BTW - fellow veggies, The Vines Take Away fry their chips in Vegetable Oil - this is just so hard to find (as I'm sure you all know they are usually always fried in beef dripping in take aways!) and I can highly recommend them - they are crispy, tasty, plentiful and delicious! A welcome treat!!!!

We had a lovely meal in the vines this evening excellent staff, service and beautiful food. Will be back soon!

Great breakfast in the vines this morning. Great service , great food. A1. Thanks will call in again soon

Called out to The Vines in Garvagh to recharge our batteries before the festive frenzy of activities take off. The warm cosy interior enveloped us like a hug from a long-lost friend and the easy ambience and background lullaby soon had us relaxed and mellow. The menu offered everything from mum's good old homemade Irish cooking to the more adventurous cultured palette. The food when it came was lovingly presented, warm and tasty. We were well looked after by Briege who ensured our coffee cups were never empty! We left feeling refreshed and replete, cheered on our way by Santa singing festive carols as we headed out into the night. Another crowning success for Brenda, Colm et al! I've a feeling another visit before Christmas is called for!

Went here recently for dinner as we were looking to try a new place. We will definatly be back again. All the food we had from starter to desert was excellent! Portion sizes were large which pleased my other half. Waitresses were friendly and seemed to be enjoying their work.A great place for an indulgent feed with quality food.

Dropped in on a Friday night without booking and although restaurant was very busy we were given a table quickly. Served by friendly, courteous staff and even the owner came over and introduced herself and had a chat. The food was fantastic and ample portions. Would definitely recommend the steaks. Will return if ever in Garvagh again. Many thanks

The Vines is a relaxing restaurant where you can choose between open tables or alcoves that are snug but not cut off by any means. Service is quick and efficient and the waitresses are most pleasant, call back to see that everything is OK.I choose sirloin steak because it was modestly priced at £14.95 which included a choice of sauces and very good chips. The plate was well garnished with a very nice side salad, french fried onions and other trimmings which presented a very artistic picture of good food.My partner chose baked cod served on a bed of mash and a very rich sauce, perhaps a little too rich for her liking but, nevertheless, damned good and tasty. The cod was top grade, full of body and cooked just right. Amazing.If I had any complaints it would not be about the service which was friendly and efficient. It certainly wouldn't be about the food which was A1. It would be that the food was served on plates which were not hot and in relation to heat the place was a trifle cold as it was a bitterly cold evening. So many restaurants spoil their food by putting it on cold or lukewarm plates and I don't understand why they don't realise that customers want their food hot to the last chip, bite of steak or fish as was our case.

Called in here during the summer holidays had been to see the Dark Hedges and stopped here. The girl that served us was a lovely girl she was very attentive and chatty. She told us her granny and granda owned the place. Food is really nice and so reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Just back from Sunday lunch. The young waitress needs to have better serviceWine arrived at edge of table not opened, not offered to pour. I know a minor detail. The meal took ages to arrive. No update or apologies. When the meal arrived it was wrong. Another ten minute wait. This also meant that certain items on plate were now cold. Again no apologies. Not sure if I will be back in a hurry.

Wir waren in The Vines essen, da es uns empfohlen wurde. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und der Service sehr gut! Das Restaurant ist insgesamt sehr gemütlich gestaltet,wir kommen wieder!

Visited with friends lovely restaurant great food met the owner who was great craic. Had brunch plus dessert chocolate fudge cake and icecream was amazing

We stopped off here on our way through to the coast. An unplanned stop and we were not disappointed. Delicious home cooked fresh food, excellent children's menu also. Great value, great service! Would highly recommend to anyone. Do not be put off but dull colours on the exterior, the inside is lovely, clean and staff friendly. Toilets are clean too as often this is an area which is forgotten in restaurant presentation. Will definitely call again!

Stopped at the vines tonight on our way home from Portrush,we have ate from the takeaway before but this was our first time in the restaurant.The staff were all so helpful & attentive and the food was so fresh and delicious.My husband had surf n turf and he said it was the best he had tasted even my picky young daughter much to our surprise cleaned her plate and even had extras.We will definitely be eating here again.

I discovered this restaurant on a day out with my wife. We were tired and hungry and decided to stop in Garvagh as we could not drive another mile. My wife spotted this restaurant on the far side of the street so we thought we would give it a chance. As we entered we were approached by a lovely girl called Niamh, she made us feel very welcome and showed us to our seats. She had a great knowledge of the menu and was so helpful the entire time. The food was incredible and was just what we needed after a long days travels. We will definitely be returning for the food but first and foremost for the wonderful service! :)

Great meal at a great price scrumptious!!My lasagne tasted very nice and my dessert was delicious!!

When a potential daughter-in-law comes on the scene it is important to impress! We chose The Vines because we knew that it is reliable for good food and we were not disappointed.We knew a few people who were also dining and that was entertaining. Orders were taken briskly after we had time for aperitifs. We chose different starters and were not disappointed either by the quality, quantity or the presentation.Main courses followed briskly and mine was hake fish served on a bed of champ which had wholegrain mustard added making an interesting blend. It was first-class. My guests had a variety of chicken dishes and again these had their own particular personality and appearance. Again first-class.Only one was having dessert and I was sorry I hadn't made the extra effort and extended by gluttony on this very special occasion.The proprietor joined us for brief moment, just enough to say 'hello' and be on her way.We have no doubt our new addition to the family enjoyed her experience and who knows what might follow! The Vines certainly did their part and that is why I awarded them 5 points

Went here for lunch ! Couldn't rate this place any better. Totally amazing staff with my bored irritable (badly behaved) toddler. The food was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Very reasonably priced for the quality.

Excellent food and hospitality. Great feedback from competitors. Staff couldn't have done more to help. Definitely venue of choice for next years event!

My husband and I dined her late afternoon...... Food and service was excellent. I had the Brunch which came with two speciality sausages which were very tasty. The food was excellent and the member of staff who served us was attentive. If you order before 3pm you can have two courses for £10 which is excellent value for money.

Myself and my husband had the pleasures in meeting Brenda while we was staying in her sons bnb we was down doing a sky drive for the hospice, I would recommend the vines for breakfast dinner and yes it's a beautiful and clean and the food is to die for X X staff very helpful x x thanx Brenda shaz and Mike x

This attractive restaurant is on the main road in Garvagh, on the way from Donegal to the Giant's Causeway area in Northern Ireland. The food was plentiful and delicious. The service was a bit slow but there is free Wifi available!

Many thanks to Brenda and her team for a fantastic day yesterday for our daughters christening.Food was delicious, first class service, pleasant attentive staff in a private function room- nothing was a bother.Catered well for everyone from toddlers to adults with no fuss - even produced a box of toys to keep the children entertained.Would definitely recommend...

Food was incredible and so was the service. The staff is absolutely amazing and very attentive to any need. I will most definitely be back!

Great food and excellent service ! VERY reasonably priced. Will definitely come back again. It is a beautiful restaurant, very tastefully done.

Been in quite a number of times for lunch.. felt isolated no connection with the staff whatsoever. Food 100 per cent as always but would be nice to see a waiter/waitress makes all the difference. Chicken ciabatta to die for.

Was in with a family member and when we went in there was no one to great us.As we sat down at the table we were greeted by the only member of staff that semmed to be there.It was a very medyoker meal for the seat price. We were so disapontex we did stay for deseret but when we went to leave we couldn't because there was no one to be seen and it was a night that it wasn't bissy so there did Seam to be an excise.

It had been a while since we had eaten at the vines and as it was Father's Day and my choice I chose the vines. The food was lovely and well presented but my reason for this review is the staff and management of the vines. The waiting staff were friendly efficient helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. 5 stars to them alone. The owner was also there going around speaking to patrons and making them welcome and asking did they enjoy their meals. On the basis of staff quality alone I would highly recommend.

Service was excellent, met with a smile at the door at 9pm. Food was good and beer was better. When in Garvagh definitely stop in for a bite.

I just had a surprise party in the wonderful vines and could not be happier!! We had the function room upstairs which is just as nice as the decor downstairs. There was plenty of delicious food which I might add was pipping hot!!The staff could not be more helpful and i would highly recommend anyone who wishes any kind of family gathering to pay this place a visit!! The food was so good i got the team to supply food to my home for another family occasion and could not fault this either!!! It was delivered fresh, tasty and hot!

Was in over the weekend and greeted immediately upon arrival by extremely friendly staff, menus were given with a huge selection of meals to offer.. Food was impeccable and as a group we could not have been more pleased with our meal.

Good portions. Interesting, contemporary restaurant menu. Friendly staff. And if you just want a takeaway, the chipshop next door is above average.

We had lunch here and just had the main course. The food is very good, nicely served and quick. The owner and staff helpful. The food was wholesome and seemed freshly prepared.The room was cozy but seemed larger because of the clever use of mirrors.There are larger rooms upstairs. Tree was a party going on that day so we did not see upstairs.Parking in the street was ample.I would recommend this restaurant for good food and ample servings.

Beautiful food,amazing service,very welcoming!! Since we walked through the door the atmosphere was brilliant! Very busy and rightfully so! Couldn't recommend more!

The Vines has a lovely ambience, very pleasant staff and a varied menu which was very reasonably priced and this all made a special family occasion a memorable one as well. The restaurant was busy but the staff were very friendly and efficient, table service was very well paced, everything delivered in good time and no sense of rush. This made for a very relaxed and enjoyable meal. Very nice that the owner came to the table to say good evening and hoped we enjoyed our meal. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience, top marks for all 5 very flavoursome and satisfying meals (Steak and fish highly recommended) complements to the chef (s), table staff and restaurant owner. We plan to return soon and would recommend the Vines if you have a special occasion to celebrate.

We were all in on Friday evening and I found the food excellent the staff are very well trained and we all had good service no problem to get the orders this is my 2nd time to dine in the vines.

Had a brilliant nite at my father in laws birthday the food was gud and the staff where really polite and very nice it wud b nice 2 hold parties

Our first and only choice for family celebrations. From the warmest of greetings and welcome from the owner to the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff, our latest birthday celebration was a perfect treat. An especially busy day for the staff with an outside catering commitment at the same time, still their standards did not slip - the food was first class - piping hot, plenty of it and fine quality - served with care and a smile in place despite the busyness of the place. The ambience was such that it felt like coming home - we had a couple of little uns in our group and even they were attended to with colouring pages and pens! And the hostess had even thoughtfully placed a lovely flower display on the top table. A beautiful way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon among convivial friends. A place that will call us back time and time again.

Visited the Vines on a frosty Sunday evening to receive a warm welcome and excellent hospitality. Choosing garlic mushroom starters, steak and chicken main courses our large portions meant there was no room to sample the sumptuous dessert menu. Service was flawless; prompt, professional and pleasant despite the restaurant bring very busy. As always proprietor Brenda was on hand to regale customers with her wit and stories, she makes everyone feel special. Eating in the Vines us not just about good food and good service, it's about feeling appreciated, that your custom is valued.Brilliant meal as always.

Went here tonight for a meal with my boyfriend&his aunt. Meal was absolutely fantastic! Would recommend it to everyone. The service was fantastic, the meal was fast and delicious and the deserts were out of this world! Loved it and definitely will be returning

We had a surprise party for my nephew, the food was excellent and so was the service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant in Garvagh.

The food was excellent and the service was first class. They had a great selection on the menu, there was a lot to chose from. Great place to eat and definitely will be back very soon.

What a fabulous delight to find The Vines restaurant on my first visit to Northern Ireland 4 years ago when I first visited from Texas. The location is perfectly placed in the quaint town of Garvagh. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm inviting ambiance and upscale decor. We found the food to be of exquisite quality every time we have visited and the staff friendly and very amenable to accommodate my husband's food allergies. This restaurant is a local favorite for us every time we visit Northern Ireland.

We were passing through the town on Saturday morning and saw the sign advertising breakfasts and thought we would call in for a coffee as we had seen they had a good review on Tripadvisor and were thinking of eating there during our stay. Stood for 5 minutes at the counter waiting until a waitress appeared who confirmed we could have a coffee without a meal. Ordered there and then and went and sat down.15 minutes later no coffee. There was only one other table occupied in the restaurant and they were already eating their breakfasts so no idea what the delay was.Decided that if the waitress appeared we would cancel our order and leave but she then appeared with the order. Paid there and then in case there would be another delay. £2.70 each for a weak and rather bland coffee also didn't seem very good value.Decided to have dinner at another restaurant.

Had a fantastic meal in the Vines with my wife and kids! Everyone was very satisfied and the staff were very friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend for a meal for any occasion!

Everything was perfect. Efficient and pleasent staff who could not do enough for you. The food was absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend and I can not wait to come back again .

Visited here as a party of two. Staff friendly. Starter good. But unfortunately main course disappointing:.. One of us had asked for sauce on side which did not happen and other had requested side order champ but got chips ... Side order was changed and waitress offered to change course with sauce on side but since we had already waited 45 mins for this course we did not wish to delay any longer. ... No-one came to check if everything was ok and despite leaving almost full plate at end of meal ( mash was poor and sauce much too heavy) no-one enquired as to why.??.....Paid our bill and left. Very very disappointed as had travelled a distance to come here and had heard good reports...but we would definitely be hesitant to return.
