   My wife and I were thoughtfully offered a seat in a quieter area which was helpful to my wife who has hearing difficulties. The staff were attentive and the food was truly wonderful! We have eaten there often and no doubt will return when next we're in Northern Ireland.

   Delicious Sunday lunch , well presented and full of flavour Lovely selection of vegetables on each plate Service a little slow but we didn’t mind as lovely live music playing to create lovely atmosphere in what was a wet miserable day outside

   Extremely disappointed with what has always been my favourite restaurant in the area. Staff were inexperienced and it showed. Their attempt to be endearing at the lack of knowledge with food and drink became incredibly irritating. The young waitress did not know what the names of the dishes were when serving the food. The food itself was delicious, but had clearly been sitting for a while before being served to the table and so arrived lukewarm at best. The restaurant didn’t seem too busy and so I couldn’t even use this to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’m usually not one to complain but the whole experience was poor, especially for the special occasion that we had booked for. Will think twice before booking again.

   Would have regularly eaten at the Hillside in the past but haven’t been for some time. To say the food was disappointing is an understatement. The steak sandwich and the chicken fillet burger were both burnt. Very disappointed. Salmon was cold and chicken tasteless

   The meal was average, both my wife and myself ordered scampi, which was small and the chips were overcooked I would not recommend this as a venue Very disappointed

    Mother’s Day menu, we opted for the roasts, Turkey and lamb, delicious and plenty on the plate, I never eat all the potatoes and would prefer more veg, but it was very good plus mint sauce for lamb and plenty of gravy
