Salthouse Restaurant — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

The restaurant is upstairs with beautiful views across to Strangford. We were a party of three, myself, husband and son. I chose not to have a starter but hubby and son both ordered seafood chowder. The chowder arrived with homemade wheaten bread. Both really enjoyed their starters, the sauce was beautiful, the wheaten bread really fresh as it was just out of the oven. My son and I ordered the seafood platter for mains. It arrived, excellent presentation and comprised salmon, smoked haddock,mussels,prawn Mornay and if that wasn't enough also haddock goujons! Every single piece of fish was cooked to perfection. In all honesty I struggled to finish mine but as it was so delicious I was too greedy to leave any. Hubby had seafood linguine which he enjoyed thoroughly. In fact he commented that it was much tastier than one he had in Padstow last summer. Unfortunately we didn't have room for desert. Maybe next time? Service was attentive, warm and friendly. This was our first visit but we intend to return and would have no hesitation recommending...

The second business runs the food.

The food, well, not greatest of offerings if I'm being honest, the 6oz is more like 5oz once you've trimmed the big chunks of fat off, and the ciabatta is merely a small square one, not the longer baguette type, so looks paltry on the plate. I think the price is giving off "tourist trap" vibes, which is a little disappointing, considering I'm more used to paying £12 for something far more superior.

Would we be back? Which is a true testament to a...

We were here on 5/6/2021 we were a party of 4, the food was excellent we had scampi, steak and a titanic burger followed by sticky toffee pudding, chess cake and profiteroles. We found the place clean and friendly. However the service was disjointed drinks had to be ordered and paid for separately I paid by debit card and my card was taken downstairs to be tapped could not be done at the table I was told. We asked to try the house wine (as we would in any restaurant) and was told this was not allowed. We had many different staff tending to our table (too many) asking the same questions. It seemed there were too many staff. Overall we enjoyed eating here as the food and atmosphere were great it’s a shame the service let it...
