    Absolutely amazing place. Staff are fantastic and definitely know their jobs. Food was stunning and delicious. Maybe just a bit on the expensive side but for a special occasion its worth it. *****

    Food is good. Mussel & chorizo dish is too much sauce for me. I prefer basic mussel white wine. I like to taste mussels more than the sauce. Chicken wing is class. 👍🏻

    I would give below 1 star if I could. Avoid this restaurant when visiting the Galgorm. Food is over priced for what it is. Service is poor and staff are not helpful. Took sick after eating food from this restaurant twice on different occasions. Won’t be back This bad experience ruins the ambiance of the beautiful hotel and spa.

    Average Christmas experience. The staff are very helpful and polite however overly attentive, we were constantly prompted regarding drinks, each course and then payment - all in all it felt rushed. The restaurant was extremely quiet yet we were asked to leave as they needed the table back. With regards to the food, the quality has decreased and prices increased. There are much better restaurants offering better Christmas lunch/dinner options.

    We went for a drink last month. We’ve used Gillies plenty of times in the past and, with it being an hotel, you expect to pay more than you would in a local bar. The last time we were in a couple of months earlier, the place was buzzing - so much so that we were surprised where people were getting the money from during the economic downturn we’re all experiencing. This time however, the place was empty and I think I realise why now. 1 glass of white wine (not a large glass) and a normal sized glass of Coke came to £15.40! I couldn’t believe it but the server checked and confirmed that it was correct. Suffice to say, we finished our drinks and left. I certainly won’t be going again until the bar wakes up to these extortionate prices.

    We came to the restaurant after a long late drive and we were very hungry and they took us in even as it was about to close. And a very nice waitress served us. Her name was Joana and also the food was amazing. Friendly atmosphere and a very nice location. I would like to thank Joana for all the help.

    Went to Gillies as part of the Santa Experience with the Galgorm. The staff were polite, welcoming and extremely helpful. The food was great and presented well.

    Christmas dinner for 6 on Christmas Day ruined, turkey tasted very sour and off we had to spit it out, sent it back to be told the chef used to much sage but it wasn’t off, never tasted food so sour in my life, everyone’s Christmas Day ruined, especially for the amount of money spent per person we all ordered steak instead it was very dry but again ruined the Xmas day as we all wanted turkey. Had Xmas dinner last year there on Xmas day it was great, would never return for dinner in this restaurant again I felt terrible for everyone as I organised this and wasted everyone’s money. Staff stood around staring at us after this, couldn’t wait to leave.

    Service with a smile, beautiful food and stunning surroundings...enjoyed every minute in Gillies..

  • 3/5 George J. 1 year ago on Google
    Pork belly 'special' very disappointing as it was gelatinous and not crispy at all. Ridiculously expensive at £41 for a steak with only mushroom/onions, no carbohydrate side. Pub grub food not worth the price tag. Recommend to dine elsewhere if staying as a resident. Service disjointed and not to the level of competitors in the area.

    May be just a bad choice - Prawn Cocktail - yes there were prawns in the sauce but the lettuce was completely wilted what there was of it! Little salad! Cod with cauliflower raisins and capers. Fish very dry and little flavour and as there are no extras with this meal completely overpriced. Having had a good meal 6 months ago, I am left feeling disappointed. Also asked to move after having been seated to another location in order for a large table to be set. No view, stuck in a corner with seats so low, making it difficult for dining.
