The Spinnaker — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

If you want to feel transported to 1970s decor, this is the place to go. I think they'd get more customers by hiring a professional designer to update the ambiance.

Food was ok, but could have used "something special" that would likely come from hiring or consulting a modern professional chef. The fried haddock had a pleasant coating, so that should be kept. The french fries seemed to be from frozen, not fresh. The sampling of many types of salad with the grilled chicken was nice, but better seasoning of the chicken would have been nice.

This is a tourist town, so they really ought to have on hand condiments (like hot chilli pepper sauce) that are standard in other countries.

The Wi-Fi didn't work, and staff said it was always terrible on the rare occasions when it did work. It was obvious that the owners failed to use a competent IT network professional, because neither their network name nor password were customized to be human friendly (just the garbled string of numbers and letters that the internet provider gives as a default).

Bottom line: this place CLEARLY would benefit from the owners looking around at their nearly empty restaurant and saying to themselves, "hmmm, perhaps we might make a lot more money in the long run by paying a short-term professional restaurant business consultant to bring us into the 21st century now." Heck, the owners should toss themselves in as a candidate for the reality show...

Went today with a group of girls(6) after a nice night away.. We were so hungry had a look at a few places and decided to head in here. Srry but won't be back. 1st of all the drinks we all received were flat, asked the girl to replace them with the tins unopened which was bit better but didn't receive glasses 2nd time round.. £3.80 for a tin of coke is a disgrace.. Went to pay for myself and my sister and when i paid the bill I went to check the menu as it seemed alot for what we got.. £15.95 for a cod £12 for goujons which I assumed both came with a side for that price but no an extra £4.95 for a bowl of chips extra..like seriously the prices were absurd and definitely over priced.. Sister didn't eat goujons as she said they were definitely frozen, 1 of the other girls didn't like the fish and most of the food went to waste.. My fish n chips were nice but when I realised that u paid separately for the side it wasn't that nice.. So for a fish, chips and coke was near £25.. Definitely not happy with the service as when asked the girl to change drinks she was livid.. Girl behind the counter putting tins of cokes on the try was slamming them down.. Cld not drink them as we're completely flat and for £3.80 we were right to complain.. And to get that service afterwards was horrible.. So avoid at all costs... Not the place to have a...

Where to start? Dined in yesterday (Bank holiday Monday) 5 of us shown to our table by a pleasant waitress ordered some water and juice for table waitress spilled some of the juice when setting down the jug and just left it! Ordered our food which was just ok definitely frozen chips and onion rings which were hard. 4 members of staff all standing at the top of the stairs laughing and talking very loudly about one of them farting and running their fingers through each other’s hair and giving the male member of staff a man bun, then proceeded to carry out the food. Very sure no hand washing was carried out. Food arrived had no cutlery or napkins asked for sauce which was brought and set in the middle of the spilled juice. No one came back to ask if the food was ok too busy chatting and having a great time. A gentleman came up to ask about a table for 6 at 7.30pm and was told they wouldn’t take a large table that late seemed strange for a very quiet restaurant. I think no management were present and young staff left to it very unprofessional...
