My wife and I came here on Wednesday for a bite to eat and we got to say this place is stunning. We were seated at our table straight away which was amazing The waitresses were very friendly and the meals were unreal. Highly recommended! We will definitely be coming back!

Food was decent, very convenient location for us. Me and my work colleagues had a table for 4, waitress was lovely and attentive, it was a bit quiet as there were about 3 other tables. The downside was after the food, we were ordering drinks, I had ordered a mojito and the barman that was making it for me, was scratching his beard (multiple times) and then touching the mint (with no gloves or even hand washing) that was going into my glass! After I seen this, we left not long after, as we were staying in the Anchor we finished off the night across the road. We were planning to eat the following night at Villa but this had put us off completely, It is a shame as something as small as that, can steer customers away.

The staff definitely had their work cut out for them with the size of our 38 person group. We all had made our menu choices in advance and this helped so much with the organisation as long as people could recall what they had ordered lol. The staff were kept very busy with starters and main courses especially and constantly checked that everyone had what they required. Lovely well mannered friendly and attentive staff in lovely surroundings, the food was fabulous and many thanks to the restaurant and staff for hosting such a large crowd. I would definitely return here and hopefully I speak for all the people I was with.

Pleasant and friendly staff and nice ambiance. Thats probably as far as it goes. Food was very average for the price. Ribeye was full of gristle, vegetables were sour. The nacho Bolognese was a bit bizarre but to be fair just not to my taste. Also in the spirit of fairness we were in a hurry and didn’t highlight it to the staff to give the opportunity to fix it. £79 for two courses each and one alcoholic beverage. For that price I would have expected more. Toilets - hand drier is disgusting!!!!!

Called at Villa on Sunday evening for a drink and something to eat. We were shown to a seat and had a few drinks before having a very nice meal. The bar and restaurant create a very nice relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and professional- gives the impression of a very well run business. First class in my opinion and we will be back soon.

Villa has to be the best in Portstewart. Food is fabulous I had the pepper chicken its amazing everything made fresh not kept under a heat lamp! Such a well organised spot staff cannot do enough you're met outside by very well dressed males who guide you through to inside where your details are taken offered a table for drinks if you've to wait on a table in restaurant which is always busy ... always a good sign! Level of cleanliness is 1st class as soon ppl leave the table it's sanitised right away. Menus etc all sanitised as soon as returned to staff. Very good social distancing. I cannot speak highly enough about Villa it's flawless. Staff are so nice + very well dressed. Has to be the best run restaurant in NI.

Called in with a few friends over the weekend. Unreal service and even better food. Five of us went to Villa and had a short wait in ocean upstairs, tables service for drinks was some touch whilst we waited on our call for our dinner in Villa. I had the salt and chilli chicken starter & a sirloin. Both excellent. My steak was cooked to perfection! Friends all enjoyed theirs too. Really impressed with the way the restaurant are dealing with track and trace aswell as social distancing. They have it down to a T. This isn't the first time I've been here and certainly won't be the last. Excellent everytime

Came here for a few drinks with some work mates, quite a few of us and obviously with corona rules it was 6 to a table, fair enough, we also work in hospitality and we understand. However, the manager was very rude when it came to us mixing with each other we always stuck to the 6 person rule however, he kept saying “you cannot mix tables”, fair enough. Then we asked the man “can we order some drinks” and he said no, not even “I will get someone for you now” just “no” and was confused he then came back and took our order but we felt very uncomfortable as he had been so rude. We lastly, asked if we could take a photo in front of the Villa sign as we had to stand up to do so, as the decor is beautiful and he said “no can you not follow simple instructions”. Lovely staff, lovely location, good drinks, good food, rude manager. Maybe he was just having a bad night, but some of us our enjoying our day off

We have been touring Northern Ireland for the past 2 weeks and we have to say, most evenings we’ve been eating out, all have been second to none, with the exception of the Villa. We would add that we have so far enjoyed our visit here very much, please do not let this review deter you from eating at the many excellent places that Ireland has to offer. On first impressions the place looked to be atmospheric and very busy. We are not winging people and accept the odd not so perfect meal. My wife ordered the sea food linguini and I had the sirloin steak along with a bottle of Zinfandel. My wife enquired if her meal could be served without the cream, which they obliged. When it eventually arrived, the meal served was not linguine but a concoction of penne pasta tossed up in some really disgusting tasting sauce, indeed it was inedible, my wife pleaded with me not to make a fuss, but I felt at least I should point out that the order was for linguine not penne. The excuse given was that my wife’s meal had to be made from scratch. Really!! I thought that’s how food is prepared, from scratch!! But even if it wasn’t could it not have included the linguini?? At least mine was acceptable although not perfect.

I ordered the seafood chowder. I think I was served left overseas as no seafood just potato and sauce. Waiter service was good and chowder was replaced, all seafood, no potato's with a cream coloured liquid, completely tasteless. I did eqt this but did not enjoy, as my friends had already waited 30 minutes. My complaints pretty much fell on deaf ears. I was offered a drink in compensation which air refused as fealty my friends had also been inconvenienced. Our waiter was very apologetic, however management didn't seem to be interested. Unfortunately, they chose to charge the £15 for the chowder. We apologised to the waiter as we chose to not pay a service charge due to their managements handling of our disappointing evening.Thanks Villa, the 2 star rating was for your staff not your food. Maybe your chef should go to Seafood Chowder cooking classes.

I have to upload these screenshots of the replies I had got from what I’m assuming would be the manager or if not the owner! I honestly will never be back at this place. The waitress had a terrible attitude, lifting my cocktail then rolling her eyes when I asked for it back. Not to mention having to ask for the cocktails to be done again because they were so bitter.It’s a shame that some staff including the one replying to my messages on one of their sites is running down a great venue. The pictures I uploaded with this review show how unprofessional this venue is. It’s disgusting. They should also update their closing times accurately!Not to mention they have now blocked me on this social media because I had complained

This is a lovely restaurant with lovely food. However, whilst myself and my fiancée were about to enjoy our meal, 4/5 staff hovered around disrupting our ability to eat our meal in peace. Although it may seem nice to ask someone if everything is okay.... after 5/6 times of being asked during the meal it’s very annoying. We had a date day and wanted to enjoy it in peace. In addition one of the waitresses then came over and rushed how quickly we ate our meal. The waitress came over and lifted my fiancé’s plate when she was only half finished pressuring us to finish sooner to free up tables even though it wasn’t busy and there was no queue. This only happened a few minutes after receiving the food so there clearly wasn’t enough time to finish it. Poor service unfortunately and it has put us off going back again.

Was here on Saturday 11th a young lady Rebecca took our details on arrival and sent us to Ocean Bar where we had great cocktails and a beautiful view of the sea. Excellent table service, & friendly staff. When our table was ready we were taken to Villa. The food was so sensational, starters, mains and desserts. Amazing dishes cooked to perfection. Brilliant atmosphere from start to finish decor is breath taking and staff second to none definitely be back.

Went for a meal with my family last night, had to wait for a table 50 mins and after that we waited an hour and 20 minutes for our mains to come!!! So ridiculous. I’ve never waited so long for food to be served in any restaurant I’ve been to and trust me I’ve been to many all around the world. The food was basic, nothing special but edible, and mojitos taste like tap water with rum. Definitely not worth £7.50.

Basically calling us stupid that they didn’t close until 21st of March. No harm but eating out back then wasn’t recommended. Clearly no regarding for people or covid. She spoiled the taste of the good food. Feel like they stole £40.00 and had no regard for it social distancing at all.

The atmosphere was great with accommodating and attentive staff. We had to wait 30minutes for a table, however we sat and had fabulous cocktails upstairs before being called to our table. Once there, our waiter Craig was more than happy to help with anything we needed and was superb throughout the entire night.

I attended the Villa Portstewart yesterday for a meal with some friends. We ordered a round of drinks and upon ordering our mains we waited around 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. Throughout our meal no member of staff approached us to check how our meal was nor were we approached to ask if we needed any further drinks. Upon finishing our meal we had to ask the waitress to get us our bill as at this point no one had approached the table to clear our plates. We had intended to stay for a few drinks following our meal, however the poor service in the establishment was a real let down and so we went to a different venue. This is my second time in the restaurant and I can say on both times I was not impressed.

And those views from where we sat by the window! Fun to watch the people passing by, and you just knew who was coming in to join the party. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. They couldn't do enough for us. And the food was astonishingly good, beautifully served. Such imagination went into the blend of ingredients—all perfect BTW—and how they were cooked. Well worth a return visit—or ten!

We were met at the door with 2 lovely doormen who went out of their way to support a group of 7 ladies.

This was due to some sort of miscommunication and one of the staff apologized for this once they realized this. That being said, it would have been a nice gesture if someone had tried to compensate us in some way, even if that had only been another drink since we drank most of ours waiting for the food to finally come.I enjoyed my steak though the chips were a bit disappointing- my partner said his food was average. I think we would have felt differently had the food not been quite as pricy as it was, or perhaps it was this combined with the very long wait and zero attempt at compensation.Not a terrible experience overall, but not quite the one we had hoped for.

I had a steak sandwich and my wife had a pasta dish. Both were very tasty, well cooked and presented and the prices were reasonable.No contact details were sought from us for track and trace purposes. As we could see into the open plan kitchen we observed that the 4 or 5 staff in it were either not wearing masks or if they were, they were pulled down leaving their noses uncovered

Manager (very abrupt) refused to honour voucher which I was told would be honoured. Booked a meal to attend before lockdown and Villa cancelled due to Covid 19 (understandable). Due to shielding I was unable to go in July. Manager was not interested. All he could say was "we've been open since 3rd July". I know of 2 other people whose vouchers were not honoured and I'm quite sure there's loads more. They have taken people's money. Shame on them.

Visited here twice now during our stay in Portstewart, and each time was first class. Nice atmosphere, lovely food, and the staff are super accommodating and friendly. We have two young children and all of the staff that tended to us were brilliant with them, and able to make sure we had a great visit. Highly recommended and will certainly be back! Thanks to all the Villa staff!

My family and I decided to go for a Sunday lunch in Villa and how glad we are we did! My wife and I the Roast Chicken and Beef which were cooked to perfection and the kids had a mini roast with our youngest having a very special "Champion Burger". We were so looked after by a very attentive Abbie and compliments to the chef! Definitely will be back, what a way to enjoy to the North Coast

We went here twice on our stay up in Portstewart. During the day on a Wednesday and again on the Saturday night.Food was amazing. Both times the place was really busy and did not stop. Sat outside for drinks, great music and full sea views. On the Saturday night we were upstairs in Ocean Bar which is so trendy, had cocktails over looking the sea then went into Villa for our dinner. Every person in our group absolutely loved the place and the atmosphere. Staff are exceptional and so many staff on which was great. Very busy place so go early to avoid disappointment

So impressed with how great all the staff are here. Despite the place being so busy the staff were so impressive from the hosts greeting at the door, the servers, the bar staff, the floor staff it was a really smooth operation. Theres a few different bars and restaurants in the place and staff across each part were all amazing. Very friendly, professional and everyone knew what they were doing. Had drinks in their beer garden waiting on our table. Had a 50 min wait on the waiting list but we were told that is how long it would be and we were taken to a table and given great table service for drinks while waiting. Then taken to Villa for dinner - get the steak!! Partner had the chowder and our friends both had fish dishes. Food was superb.

Food was just ok salted chicken as a starter should be served with a glass of milk or a fire extinguisher.was disappointed that they were not part of the eat out to help out the only ones missing out are their customers maybe they think they don't need us not be rushing back plenty of restaurants in the area are part of the scheme and think their customers should benifet

Staff very poor, food average at best, told we would be an hour and were served 2 1/2 hrs later. There are so many better restaurants in the area it’s hard to see how they still exist.

We have eaten in Villa several times post-lockdown and it has been a 5-star experience on each occasion. It is well-staffed with efficient and very pleasant staff, who are so attentive. The menu has a wide range of choices with very generous portions and is very reasonably priced. The quality of the food is first class. I particularly love the Chicken Curry, it is the best I have tasted. The restaurant is very well run. It is our favourite place to dine and we are fortunate to live within walking distance. The cocktail menu is also great and a lovely way to finish an evening off after fine dining.

Very well run restaurant in the current climate, Rebecah the manager has it down to a tee... masks worn by all staff and everything was cleaned before and after service, staff were very helpful and pleasant and were so busy attending to everyone’s needs, the food was amazing and was quick to our table, booking is recommended if you don’t want a wait, we hadn’t booked and had to wait half an hour but we didn’t mind as the atmosphere was great, well done Villa for not doing the meal deal, it’s a help to the government hopefully others will follow suit

We were there 3 days in a row last week. The place was very clean, efficient, very friendly and helpful staff. Coffee was very good, the cakes excellent as was the ice cream. The prices were completely acceptable. The last day there was a tall blonde lady working I have seldom seen anyone so effective, efficient and friendly. All the staff were brilliant. Anytime we are in portrush we will definitely be visiting Morellis Portrush
