Villa Portstewart in Coleraine

Another great night in Villa. No photos of the food because everyone was so keen to get started eating. The food was excellent, the steaks cooked to perfection and the kids menu always has a great selection. A great Saturday night atmosphere with the live music and the staff were attentive as always!

Great experience… Tracey was fantastic. So friendly and provided an excellent service

We called in for a few drinks while staying in a hotel close by. Beautiful bar, friendly staff, nice Guinness. After ordering our drinks, we nestled up in a nice booth close to a burning fire and enjoyed our drinks. Next time we're back in Portstewart, we'll definitely call in again for a drink and dinner.

Was put out because it “wasn’t our Vibe” basically wasn’t allowed to dance lol

This restaurant is probably overrated by the other reviews!! At the reception you are first asked whether you have reserved and you ask yourself: why? The shop is completely empty. The staff takes themselves very seriously and is more concerned with themselves than with the few guests. Unfortunately, the music was way too loud and the food was below average. If you are then asked every 2 minutes if everything is OK. then it gets annoying at some point because the staff shouldn't have missed the fact that everything is average at best with above-average prices. Conclusion: this restaurant is a gift. Fish & Chips OK, you'll be full, but nothing more.

Food was second to none & meal was altogether a pleasant experience with the staff member attending our table.

One of the best experience of food and service I’ve had. Couldn’t fault anything and considering we were a party of 15 it was faultless. The staff were attentive and couldn’t do enough to make sure we had the best time.

Amazing food great staff 5 🌟 all the way can't wait to go back

lovely evening out, great food, great views, thank you

Down there round 615 had two drinks the wife went in for menu and was told she couldn't eat outside even though another couple were eating it's good to know our money is not needed this time of the year

Absolutely brilliant restaurant

Lovely food, good atmosphere and nice staff. Never disappointed

Great pub restaurant. Had drinks here . Good atmosphere and music 😊.

Excellent food. Excellent pint. Great staff.

Beautifully decorated restaurant giving a lovely atmosphere and delicious food that came quickly with large potion sizes. Definitely recommend!

This restaurant was close to my hotel, so my partner and I decided to go there. Our order was taken quickly, and the dishes arrived very fast! My fish & chips were perfect, as was the dish my partner had! I would gladly come back on my next visit to the area!

Had a lovely meal here tonight, we were served by Tamara, what a pleasant waitress she was, very pleasant and very helpful.

Just ate at this restraunt, the food was lovely and great service from Tamara, very pleasant young lady and most helpful, thank you so much for your service.🙂

Nice little place with a beautiful view 😍

The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Just went here for a few drinks. Recommended ❤️🍸🍹

Lovely dinner, great atomosphere and lovely cocktails

My first time to Villa on Saturday evening and it will not be my last. The staff were friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. The meal was first class. The flavours 'exploded' in my mouth from the first forkful to the last. The portion size was precisely enough. Thank you all and I'll see you soon again.

Called here today for a few cocktails, the barman was extremely rude when I asked for 2 French martini's. He sighed, tutted and rolled his eyes and basically threw the card machine at me. He was a tall skinny guy with glasses. I will stick to Portrush in future!

Lovely staff. Food delicious. I had the sea bass. It was amazing.

The front of counter member of staff touched all the food . She used tongs to place food on plate but then proceeded to move all the food on the plate with her hands! Problem raised but was just told she would have washed her hands except she may have washed her hands but when handling our food proceeded to touch her dirty apron her hair ( hair net hanging off) touched every surface around her and then touched our food ! It really put us off our food !! Think this needs checked. Just raising point to protect fellow guests .

Absolutely amazing food!! Highly highly recommended!!

Everything about this place is right. Really enjoyed our experience

Ate here a couple of times during our four nights in Portstewart and had great food and service both times. First night shared the starter portion of ribs and just a well otherwise there would have been more of mash from the main course left on the plate. If you get a window table there is a great view over the bay.

We had a great time at Villa! It was perfect for our big group and our waitress was fantastic. So many delicious choices to choose from!

When we booked we were made to believe we would have a back room or at least a quiet corner as we asked for a private space. Whether it's our fault or not I don't recommend events here. They blast 80s music so our event was hard to hear and quite disappointing. Other than that is was marvelous. I would have loved the price if we had the room but since we were out with everyone it was quite steep. Edit: moved to 4 star as it's probably our fault that we didn't research more about the environment and our needs. Leaving the rest to help future guests

Amazing restaurant. Good food and a friendly service. Thanks to all.

Fantastic food, surprisingly large portions, very well priced. Staff were great, and the cocktails were brilliant

Great food, great service, friendly staff and good value for money. We felt very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.

All round excellent place would highly recommend 👌

Amazing place and great food. Service top notch

Lovely place in Portstewart for a bite to eat and a drink. Service is always very friendly. Great view from tables outside if weather permits.

Villa is just the best place on the North Coast. Always our go to place for food and drinks. Fab selection on menu for both food and a cheeky cocktail or 2 lol . Always a guarantee for decent live music also. Staff and ambience compliment everything else. The girls on the floor are just sooooo pleasant and slick.

Took a trip down with some friends to catch up over the Easter weekend. We had a few drinks at the bar then proceeded to our table after sampling some very tasty cocktails. When seated we were asked if we would like any more drinks and if we would like to order within a few minutes from arriving at our table. From tasty food & drinks alongside friendly and efficient staff we weren’t disappointed especially on a busy night.

Have been numerous times, for dinners nights out for a drink with friends etc... But last night I had booked a large table group of 17adults and 6 kids. And honestly it was such an amazing experience. I can't thank the team enough from first booking to doing our pre order they where so helpful and professional. Last night went seamless our seat was perfect by window so kids could sit and play without bothering anyone, the food was all amazing the staff soo kind friendly and just very welcoming. I can't recommend it enough. If you want your a special night to go well deffo book here. Thank again to all the tram at villa.

Great food at reasonable prices. Excellent staff and service.

Food was excellent staff are nice and friendly

Man sized portions Really good food

Lunch with two teenagers. They both ordered nachos - the beef sauce was lovely but the nacho chips were horrible. I could taste the oil they had been cooked in - really overpowering. Then they had pasta and a burger - both good. The burger came with chunky chips - same problem as with the nachos. Disgusting taste of the oil they'd been fried in. And at over £70 it honestly wasn't worth it. The young girl who was our server was fantastic. So kind to my autistic son and really friendly.

Good food the duck starter was excellent and the steak also very good

As ALWAYS in Villa the food was amazing, staff were super friendly and service was excellent , however what ruined our family birthday meal was a large hen party group of around 30-35 people sat along the window at the front. They were so loud we not only couldn’t hear what our waitress was saying to us but we couldn’t hold any conversation at our table and had to eat in silence listening to these people get louder and louder. Other patrons were staring and shaking their heads at this group also. We usually spend around £100 on cocktails when we go to villa , trying different ones however after one round of drinks we were done and left 48 mins after entering not having any dessert or coffee even. Perhaps Villa should maybe put groups like this in a separate function suite as they were the reason a birthday celebration was a disaster

Absolutely amazing. Friendly staff. great food .had the roast beef .best meal out by far .thank you

The food was outstanding and a great price and there was loads of it.The staff were lovel.nothing was too much for them and they went above and beyond to make you welcome.Their chicken stack is the nicest IV ever tasted with smoked mash.We went to it from Belfast and we will definitely be back.The villa was spotless also and the decor is beautiful and the guiness is second to none.Well done to all.See you all again soon.Anne

The restaurant design is beautiful. The staff and service was 10/10 no faults. The food was OK, standard for North coast restaurants, no USP. The biggest let down for me was the (£10) cocktails are very watery, lacking in flavour and again standard menu.

Lovely meal and very attentive staff. Looking forward to our next visit. "Attentive" just noticed the mistake lol...

We had a beautiful meal😍. Running late for our booking and the were able to accommodate us straight away. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Food and service was absolutely amazing!!!❤️

Really enjoyed our night at Villa - food was excellent as was service. Very friendly welcome and service throughout meal. Food was hot and well presented - delicious. Definitely will return in future .

Unbelievable experience at villa on Saturday evening as a table of 5. We all enjoyed a lovely three course meal food was amazing really high standard. From management to waiting staff everyone was so professional and helpful. They honestly went above and beyond. Amazing food, cocktails, staff and really chilled vibe would highly recommend.

Great food, and good cocktail selection

A great venue. The staff were very friendly and efficient and made you feel welcome. The food was excellent and the portions were very copious. Service was good and we had a great meal. After that we went to the bar section for a few drinks where the staff were also very friendly and helpful and the view of the bay is spectacular.

This is our favourite bar/venue. We were in for Sunday lunch and as usual the food was spot on. I had the slow cooked beef which was amazing and so tender, and my husband had his favourite chicken stack. We then went through to the bar more more drinks and cocktails. Always made to feel so welcome by Chris and Maggie and the entire team. Fantastic spot right on the promenade, with views across the bay. We love to sit outside in the summer with an ice cold glass of wine watching the sea. Best venue on the North Coast by a mile!

Top food Great service Highly Recommended

4 of us ate the food was really disappointing, only two other tables in the restaurant so the kitchen was not busy at all, Needless to say I won't be rushing back.

Nice restaurant, good food, big portions, they could be of more normal and healthier size as too much food was wasted. Ended up paying for food that we didn't consume due to portions size.

Whether you are allowed in or not is decided based on your appearance and skin color. So please look in the mirror beforehand to avoid wasting time.

Excellent evening at Villa a friendly warm welcome. Fantastic food I usually have the Chicken stack but on this occasion the Italian Chicken. Starter of prawns delicious. No room for desert but maybe next time.

Lovely setting, service from waiting staff was great - food when it came was lovely although not all our food came out together which was annoying for a large group - when this was noted to the manager I think his name began with B we thought as a gesture a free dessert or something but nothing - a little gesture goes a long way

Twice we've been in here now for late afternoon or early evening food, starters and mains are very good, recommend the chilli prawns and BBQ ribs! Not been let down yet!

Nice staff but the food not so much.I think it comes from the microwaves:(

Lovely spot for dinner. Booked in here for New Year’s Eve and ordered the chicken stack & house burger as well as a couple of drinks to go with. Absolutely delicious! Staff was so welcoming and friendly, and provided amazing service during a busy rush. Will 100% be back. Thank you!

Great food, and staff are brilliant love it here

Excellent service even though it was New Year's Eve. I had traditional Christmas dinner beautifully cooked. Great atmosphere and very busy. Need to book on a night like that.

Great food and a good menu. Good choice for vegetarians. Warm comfortable restaurant. Attentive staff, great place to visit on a rough winters day.

Food is very good with huge sized portions with meat cooked well to standard. We (family of 5) were seated in a ( there is a bar section then also a standard restaurant section we were seated in the restaurant) alcove with another family which was very quiet and could hear others at the table very well, it was not cramped or overcrowded with plenty of space for everyone. Service was prompt for all courses with the server making sure all food was served to our standards. Overall very happy with the villa and would recommend to other larger families.

Great food, great service. Would highly recommended

We had an amazing Christmas party night here. Can't thank the staff enough, the service was fantastic, the food was awesome and the atmosphere was buzzing, perfect party night material! Portion sizes were huge and every aspect of the food from main meat to potatoes, veg and wee accompaniments were all perfect, the gravy was particularly delicious, big thumbs up to Simon and the crew for the hard work. I'd also like to give a particular mention to Brandon, an absolute star from start to finish. Professional, cheery and never once showing any impatience with a bunch of drunken idiots who hadn't a clue what they ordered, Brandon was organised, efficient and attentive all evening. Live music added to the atmosphere and made for an excellent party night out, thanks again to everyone at The Villa, highly recommended.

Went for an anniversary dinner, my girlfriend didn’t enjoy the food but being heavily pregnant I won’t take her review into account. Food was amazing in my opinion, great look to the place. Was completely empty on a Sunday night so won’t comment to the atmosphere. I had the Atlantic Cod and would order it all over again given the chance.

We booked a table for 8 people 2 couldn’t make it as they were sick with Covid, we paid £15 deposit per person, our bill for the 6 of us came to £318 but the manager refused to allow us the £30 deposit for our 2 sick friends towards our bill. I my opinion this is terrible customer service, the £30 was more important to Villa than customer care. We even called in to let them know of our 2 sick friends that afternoon. We visit Villa on a regular basis but unfortunately we won’t be back.

The Christmas food was good the Acoustic Guitarist was good and the service was good.

Christmas Party Night at its Best!!! We had an amazing Christmas party night here.

We had our Christmas dinner there last night and everything was perfect. The food was piping hot and the service was amazing. Very friendly staff.

An amazing restaurant. The food was absolutely beautiful and the cocktails were great too. The staff were fantastic and even brought out dessert with candle and sparkler, when they discovered it was my birthday.All staff went above and beyond their duties and we'll definitely be back. Couldn't recommend the Villa enough to people.

Lively atmosphere , good selection of cocktails, beers and sprits. Excellent selection of food which was very tasty. Good service by friendly staff.

Wonderful food, really first class. Service was amazing, so helpful, friendly and very professional. By far the best restaurant meal we had on our recent return to N.Ire. First choice for a return visit next time we are home.

Villa has a great atmosphere and stylish aesthetic. Staff are friendly & courteous and the food is great! Would definitely recommend.

This is the second time my wife and I have visited Villa Portstewart. After the first visit, you say the usual ‘That was lovely, we’ll have to go back’. Well the second visit outdone the first, which was marvellous. We skipped the starters this time...
