Marconi's Bistro & Bar — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

Wait staff was subpar. They made us leave the bistro literally for one minute to come back in to be seated the previous night they made us move like four tables before we got a table that was suitable for four people. The older staff was borderline rude where the younger staff was fairly nice food was OK at best.Eggs had shells in almost ever one they were boiled in oil instead of pan fried or on the on the grill. Pastries were the frozen kind not fresh baked. The night before we came to get fish and chips took 45 minutes the fish was gain ok at best chips were a little overcooked...

Just walked in with my partner and child at noon through the open door at the front of the building and asked the waitress for a table for 3. A woman (manager?) rudely shouted across the restaurant from behind the counter, saying we had come in through the fire exit doors and that we had to leave the restaurant and come back in through the other entrance. Needless to say, we did not return.

If you don’t want customers to walk in through an open door at the front of the building, maybe just have it closed or cordoned off. And don’t shout at people across a room like they are...

Disappointing experience at Marconi’s unfortunately. Great location on the seafront, nicely decorated and friendly staff. It was, however, very highly priced but the food and drink was not up to this standard. The food was lacking in flavour, wine very expensive but not particularly nice. Staff were not very knowledgable about the menu options and didn’t seem to take the feedback seriously. No music in the restaurant so lacking atmosphere. Hopefully this review can be used constructively to make improvements as the foundations are...
