McAllister's Whiskey Lounge — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

Was gifted a voucher for a three course meal for two phoned last Friday to see if there was any availability and we had a table booked for 7.30 and I told the girl that I would be using a voucher for a 3 course meal for two. When we arrived the hotel and restaurant is now beautifully done up and is very impressive. We were seated and I let the server know that we were using the voucher and he left with it and came back and told us that on a Friday the voucher becomes monetary and covers up to £65 at this point we were seated and there were people seated around us so we didn’t want to cause a seen about it. So we just hoped the food would live up to the price…… unfortunately the food didn’t live up to the price the chilli chicken starter is just coated frozen chicken on some lettuce with some chilli sauce thrown cover it for £10.50 nothing outstanding or even cooked in house at all very disappointing. The braised rib of beef was lovely though I think it should’ve fell off the bone easier, my partner said he’s never had a burger and chips that was tasteless before ! I got the lemon tart with meringue for dessert which was not lemony at all all I could taste was meringue thankfully he liked the baked Alaska.

So we went for a meal that should’ve been free other than drinks and had to pay more on top of the voucher. I have now checked and at no point when the person that bought us the voucher not us were made aware that we would only get a full 3 courses covered by the voucher on certain days and that I rang and the girl knew I was using the voucher had I been told at that point I wouldn’t have dined that evening. This is false advertising as the person buying the voucher thinks they purchasing a 3 course meal for 2 for the person to use when they please and this is not the case !

Haven’t eaten here in years and won’t be back sadly at least the hotel looks lovely but the food is not up to standard for the...

We booked a table at McAllisters for 7.30pm on Saturday 25th March. When we arrived I could see the restaurant was full and no one was near finishing their meals, we were seated in the very busy bar area right next to the singer, not ideal! We weren't offered drinks so my husband & nephew went to the bar, one barman on who was swamped with orders for the restaurant and people waiting at the bar, we eventually got our drinks, ordered the meal, which was very good, but for spending £300 for our night out I don't expect to be sat in the bar, if we'd wanted to do this we'd have gone to a pub and spent half the money. I understand they were very busy that night but if you don't have tables free do not take bookings, overall it was a very disappointing evening as we had booked this night out to be able to talk to each other without shouting over the bar noise and without being totally disrespectful to the poor guy singing to the very uninterest crowd. I did email Tullyglass but to date haven't had the courtesy of a reply. The only reason I'll be returning is because I have a voucher to spend, when that's gone I doubt...

Our first visit and we weren't disappointed. It's in a beautiful setting. We ate three hearty meals starting with Chilli seasoned chicken followed by Chicken Supreme, delicious and rich ravioli with lovely seasonal vegetables and vegetable Wellington. Desserts were fresh and light; Pavlova and pear upside down cake. Service was excellent; friendly but...
