Not spread out enough take ages to take menu hour kids served 1st starters then main adults wait hour half main meals come kids running looze angered bar staff & other packed bar guests for start week only June not xmas to be packed noisy setting 25 odd up in bunker 43 area one long table not spead out & now charging for jug of juice used not be former friendly man. Staff anxious looks at others unknowing thinking when take menu last guest late arriving not well organised cake to last never got chance speak give birthday gifts at packed table ltd space. Cake it or leave it bunker

We had a fantastic roast beef dinner here, with Yorkies and will definitely be back. Wonderful service in a privileged setting

Second visit to this restaurant this summer, and will be back again, hopefully. First time I visited I had the Roast Hake which was as good a dish as any top restaurant I’ve been to…and way less expensive! My second visit tonight I had the Louisiana Chicken which was so good and again, the chef’s on top of his game. We were a table of six, and the staff were great, welcoming and the food came to the table all together. As a BYOB they need to charge a higher corkage. Meals are way too cheap, and a 10% increase in menu prices would not be out of line.

a really good restaurant value for money mouth watering dishes home made desserts excellent friendly staff

Friendly service. Lots of choice. Iced fingers are great. Sausage rolls are massive and tasty. Mini cinnamon loaves are amazing. My go to bakery in Ards.

We had the seafood chowder which had a lovely flavour however, the potatoes were slightly hard and the consistency was not right for a chowder. As this cafe was highly recommended will shall give it another try.

id never heard of the cuisine "chip" before, but it was scrumptious and my bestie Dominique had a blast. she had a "full Irish mixed grill" with "a pint of milk". couldn't have asked for more moisture and taste in my food. the presentation was sensational and out of this world. the waiter who served me enlightened me with the fact that his dog had previously passed away. what a connecting moment. as my dog, Bruno, is very much alive and well. But, i did have an upsetting dream where he died once. my boyfriend, luigi, had a little accident in the bathroom (the spicy chicken was to blame) and the staff were extremely helpful in cleaning it up.

Called into monas with a absolute banging hangover, seriously was close to death. Order a full soda and tin of Fanta lemon, a lovely girl called Carrieanne served us, absolute Dimond. Fanta lemon was out right away, freezing, she popped it and poured it out, she had a real pep in her step, soda came out, absolutely perfect, presentation was fantastic, soda bread was like a fluffy cloud. The brown sauce was the crap stuff but Carrieanne got us hp on the fly , def be back

I visited the cafe carnfunnock and had some really tasty food and a coffee. Was really impressed by the standard of coffee and service by Niamh, very friendly and made a top class cappacino. Will be back very soon.

This is a lovely wee place, lovely staff, friendly punters, great music from local talent on Saturday evenings..definitely will be back more often

Excellent cafe/restaurant it’s a wee hidden gem of a place, food is so nice and a great range of gluten free food including tacos and lovely deserts. Staff are so nice and I will definitely visit again soon.

Stopped for supper. Got a steak burger with fried onions and ketchup. Tasty and sweet. Nice large thin meat patty. I had also a single battered sausage which is cut in two before frying. A good free scoop of chips garnish. Very tasty and recommended. Fair prices. Clean and friendly owner and staff.

Called for fish and chips. Excellent service and quality food despite being extremely busy. Very well mannered and friendly staff.

Having failed to eat in another quite well known establishment just down the road (far too long a wait) this place was a very welcome pit stop for my family. There was a very friendly lady from Preston serving us, a delicious curry slice (!) and other light lunch food. Nothing sophisticated but very welcome nonetheless! Recommended.

Excellent wee spot. lovely friendly staff. Very clean. Daughter has special dietary requirements,couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. Will definatly be back.
