Gracie Neills - Ards

Absolutely the best meal we have had in a long time.Restaurant is newly refurbished.The menu is extensive and top quality food. Staff could not do enough,very professional,from front of house,to bar and waiting staff and kitchen. Would thoroughly recommend.

Just popped in for a quick unplanned lunch. We got offered a number of places to sit and chose the bar area, with a nice fire blazing. We both choose from the the specials menu. I had the flat bread and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. I raised an eye brow when the flat bread arrived. It was simply a piece of supermarket pitta, uncooked. On top of it we a few dices of overcooked pork, some pickles and a drizzle of sauce. I was affronted that this dish was £12 for an ingredient cost of less than a £1. I understand that restaurants are having a difficult time, but that goes both ways. If you are going to charge excessively, make sure the culinary experience matches. My wife 's pulled pork was on ciabatta, but the pork was excessively 'wet ', not because of the sauce, but simply the water content. As a result the bread was a soggy mess. On a positive note, the chips served with the pork were excellent. We finished our food in muted silence, I paid the £32 bill, but mentioned to the barman my concerns. He said he was sorry to hear that, and would pass my concerns to the chief ... Sadly, with money becoming tighter, we will think carefully on where we dine again. So disappointed, in what is a great venue,

Perfect location on a very cold day, the fire was a welcome sight. We both had the honey chilli chicken one with rice and one with chunky chips in garlic butter absolute perfection and no problem with changing the side dish. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Grace Neil's.

Had been away for Xmas and missed the new opening of refurb. Boy did I get a surprise. Grace Neill's is stunning. The decor has changed so much but the staff are as good as always.Paul you have a good team there. What a difference it's amazing.All the best of luck in the world.Love this place.
