We ate here for both dinner and breakfast. We had the tasting menu which was 2 hours of pure joy. The room is beautiful with lovely views and a very relaxed feel. The food was amazing and served with with passion and style. Breakfast was delicious, using fresh local ingredients makes such a difference.

What a great surprise to find such a lovely place beside a beautiful river! Good food. We just happened to chance upon it after searching for good restaurants near Ballymena.
