Lovely setting, great food and service. Special mention to Chris our waiter for the night, friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back

As a self proclaimed food snob I honestly could not fault our meal at The Boathouse Antrim! Staying at a local glamping site not too far away we took a walk along the water front and spotted the restaurant. We went in with low expectations as we knew nothing of it or anywhere else in the area. The weather was great and we asked to sit on the balcony outside which had a wonderful view of the water as the sun began to set, the balcony was lovely as it was open topped but had glass curtains the entire way round to break any wind if their was any. We were both honestly blown away at how tasty both our meals were, everything fresh and full of flavour from starters, mains and desserts with plenty of variety to choose from. We highly recommend The Boathouse and we most definitely would take a road trip in future to return! 10/10

Lovely lunch, great views of Lough Neagh and it’s waterways and good service too. I enjoyed the special lunch meal deal and ordered the wings to start, seafood chowder - was packed with fish, my friend ordered tacos and we shared dessert - the biscoff cheesecake special. A shout out to the friendly chef Karlo who chatted to us both after our meal. Plenty of free parking right beside and a lift to the restaurant upstairs on entrance. If visiting do think about browsing the lough Neagh centre downstairs and take in the new Finn McCool sculpture just a wee dander across the car park. There is a play park for the kids there as well as a decent walk you can take right across to Antrim Castle and gardens which is flat with outdoor gym equipment dotted here and there.

This was my first time there, my partner took me and it didn't disappoint. We both had the chicken escalope and it was perfect. The view over the loch was incredible. We got to watch the sun set right outside the window. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing lunch here on Sunday 25 May. The best meal out I have had in a long time. Presentation, taste, menu variety, portion size ...no fault with any of it. Our waiter was very pleasant and we will definitely be back.
