Great food, stunning view, good service , whats not to like. Really good to get some proper service for a change - so many restaurants seem to be struggling , but not here. It really is a cut abover the rest - yeah it comes at a price, but at the end of the night you dont leave disappointed.....which seems to be so common in other places these days.

The best table with a view, food and service on the north coast?.our visit to 1894 was a delight from start to finish. We wished to give our two guests a positive experience to end the day touring the north coast - and 1894 delivered.

Just returned from 1894 Restaurant at portstewart golf club. Everything was superb. We arrived a bit early so had a pre dinner gin in the bar. Our table was excellent with a great view over the beach and the sun going down over Donegal. We booked the £44 foodie menu which included a glass of matched wine with each course. There was 5 choices for each course and offered a good choice. The food was excellent. The wine matched each course perfectly. The service and staff were very helpful and friendly and had time for a chat. I have a very healthy appetite and I was completely satisfied. All 3 courses were both tasty and filling. If I had a favourite it was the cod cheek starter - exceptional. To have a superb fine dining experience including pre dinner drink for under a 100 quid was both exceptional value but when combined with the quality was quite frankly unbelievable. I have no hesitation in recommending the foodie deal.

Beautiful setting with the large windows overlooking the ocean, food was delicious but i felt i was in a cafe instead of a high class restaurant. There was no one to greet you as you arrived and i felt the tables were grubby with food on floor underneath. I asked for the lantern on table to be switched on but was told they probably hadn?t got a lighter because they haven?t been on since winter! There didnt seem to be anyone overseeing the customers or to welcome them. So disappointed as i was so looking forward to a special night. I dont usually review restaurants but i had to in this case. I also have to say we paid a lot for this meal. Probably the most expensive meal we have ever paid in Northern Ireland. Small things make a big difference to a customer eg Tablecloths, Tidy Staff, welcoming greeting. I definitely wont be back and could not recommend

1894 was the best restaurant we had the pleasure to eat at our entire trip. It was outstanding. Not only was the food delicious but the staff was incredibly awesome. I ordered a gin and tonic. The manager came over and talked to me about which gin I might like to try. (The Muff gin is a must.) Every dish we tried melted in our mouths. I had the 24 hour slow cooked lamb shoulder. All I can say is WOW.

Food wasn?t great for either of us - limited vegetarian menu. Rude staff - not interested in you when you weren?t ordering bottles of wine. Most good restaurants will serve premium draft beer. Well that didn?t happen. Very noisy, to the point of being uncomfortable And way too pricy for mediocre pretty tasteless food. Recommend giving this one a miss

We booked online and tried to cancel 10 mins later after seeing the menu. £20 per person cancellation fee x 4. We had to go to the booking as I was not paying £80 for nothing! Manager said he would look after us if we came, this was a false promise! We won't be back.

Fathers Day Lunch with my husband and 3 daughters. Was extremely disappointed with the service, beautiful setting and food was good, but we had a toddler with us required a high chair that I had noted when making the booking. Manager went to show us to our seats, i asked for a high chair, he left the menus sitting on my chair went to get what i thought a high chair but no he proceeded to serve another customer at the till. I was left standing in the middle of the restaurant with no high chair and had to ask another member of staff to get me one. Staff did not seem knowledgeable i asked for a baby bowl the waiter had to go to the kitchen to see if this was available, my husband asked what beer was on draft the waiter did not know. This is not a family friendly restaurant. What we thought was going to be a lovely afternoon for fathers day unfortunately we left very disappointed.
