Lir Coast Grill - Moyle

We returned here after a terrible experience back in 2016, hoping it had improved. It hasn't. Still in need of a food and beverage supervisor only now the food isn't the best. We were one of two tables dining. There were no menus. Instead there was a specials board. I'm not sure how you can have a specials board without a menu. The kids options were rattled off to us. We ordered and our food arrived in a reasonable time. Unfortunately we hadn't been brought cutlery, condients or napkins so we each had to wait while the only waitress brought our plates in pairs and returned for the table settings. The steak wasn't great quality and the large chips were hard and tastless. The dining experience lacked structure and system. The food lacked imagination and quality. The pricing was reasonable but this restaurant needs someone who knows about runnning a restaurant, not a golf club.

After reading many positive reviews, I was excited to try this restaurant. We arrived for our 7pm reservation, but by 7.05 we were still waiting to be seated. We were ignored by the staff, but my husband convinced me to stay as I really wanted to try the restaurant. We were eventually seated at a nice table overlooking the golf course and beach. However, we waited another 15 minutes for menus and another 15 minutes for our order to be taken, despite the restaurant not being very busy. When our starters arrived, my husband noticed lipstick on his glass and my glass was chipped. We pointed this out to the waitress, but she never returned with replacements or our wine. Feeling frustrated, we decided to pay for the starters and leave. The waitress made us wait even longer before we could do so, even though it was already 8pm and we were hungry. We asked to speak to the manager, who was apologetic and offered for us to come back another time to experience the restaurant properly. We declined, as we felt the inexperienced staff were letting down the otherwise lovely location. The food we did try was average, and overall we were very disappointed. However, we hope the restaurant addresses these issues, as the potential is there due to the manager's passion for the place.

The beef stroganoff is to die for, fish and steak beautiful too! Great staff, fab food and an amazing backdrop.

Great food, prompt efficient service really good value for money!!! The starter of Brie and fruit coulis was delish. The steak (from the local Kearneys butchers) cooked to perfection. The Irish coffee a fitting end.

On a glorious June evening is there a better setting than Cushendall Golf Club with superb views over the Sea of Moyle,towards the Mull of Kintyre, Glenballyeamon to the majestic sun drenched Lurig mountain and across the bay to Glenariffe.The food did not disappoint either,from the moment we entered we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff,who recommended the evening specials.The salted chilli beef was delicious,the children's goujons were plentiful and tasty,whilst my chicken curry was excellent.Two desserts and a couple off rum coffees rounded off a fantastic meal.
