The Lighthouse And Grill - Ards

Sad this place has suffered the same fate as those that came before it. You’d think the building was jinxed! They made a good stab at it but in essence it was just providing the same stuff everyone else was in the town and getting stubborn NI people to change their allegiance to a new restaurant was always going to prove to be a tough ask. I think what’s more disturbing now is their choice of local ‘PR consultant’ (lol) to deal with the aftermath is both worrying and seriously misguided. Frightening, actually.

I booked this for my 30th and was looking forward to it, but they cancelled my reservation a couple of days before and I had to find somewhere else to go. No reason was given for the cancellation.

Just popped in for quick dinner with my mum and sister. Mum a local) said her scampi was best she 'd had in a long time Chicken stack was lovely as well. Highly recommend.

Thanks so much to all the team at the lighthouse. Absolutely unreal food as always, there was 17 of us and nothing was too much trouble. Staff and food the reason we always come back but thankyou

Good for an early tea, not for a weekend night out, more of a diner feel. quick stop for a casual bite. A friend and I took our elderly parents for a Christmas evening. Compliments to their chef food was good. Staff nice. Just a shame on a Saturday night in December it closes promptly at 10pm music is turned off and they mop the floors around you. We took the hint and moved out to front the porch to wait on our lift which was on the way, we were then ushered onto the street by the owner, on what was a bitterly cold and windy night, fortunately not pouring. We left disappointed. I wouldn't return and it was a sad end to a lovely night it's a shame that we had already left the 20% tip. To summarise it's more suited to the large footy team crowd that popped in for a quick pre bite and shots before hitting the town not for a night out at a restaurant if you want to catch up.
