I was in town for a couple days break from Belfast. Have been to Rostrevor many times and usually eat in the excellent Rostrevor Inn but sadly they were not open this Monday. So I tried the Kilbroney Inn. As soon as I walked in, I knew it wasn't going to be a great experience. No greeting; told the bar staff (older woman that I'd like to get a meal. She couldn't have cared less. I followed up by asking for a menu, then took a seat and had a good 15 minute wait before anyone bothered with me. The lackluster service continued up to the moment I took myself back to the bar and asked for the bill, then waited until the slightly more helpful waitress came to deal with it. The whole vibe was unfri...
Started well with decent wine and starters. Spring rolls, chicken wings and prawn cocktail. Then it went downhill. I ordered a Thai Green curry with rice and naan bread. What I got was Chinese chicken curry with ciabatta! I informed the waitress who offered to change the dish. My company had already started their main so I said I 'd keep what I ordered but was not happy with it. After the meal, although only 4 other tables were still in use, no one offered a dessert menu nor another drink. Waitress eventually came to clear table and asked if everything was ok. I asked for the bill. Was appalled to see the curry being charged for even though I 'd made clear it was NOT Thai curry. Upon paying...
After a spectacular visit to Spelga Dam we decided to see what restaurants Rostrevor had to offer. As we left the car, the heavens opened and Kilbroney was the closest place. It is beautifully decorated with a jovial atmosphere. The menu had plenty of choice and there was something for everyone. Everything we ate was simply divine; we had had amazing meals during our 3 day visit and this place did not disappoint! A shout out needs to be made for our lovely waitress Angela whose cheery disposition added to our wonderful experience!
We decided to drop into this restaurant on a busy evening without a reservation. Despite the hustle and bustle, we were seated promptly and received excellent service throughout the night. I started with the Garlic Mushrooms, which were the best I've ever had. My wife enjoyed the delicious Scampi, while I opted for the surf and turf. The staff were attentive and courteous, making our dining experience delightful. Overall, we were very impressed and would rate the service a perfect 10 out of 10.

While spending the night in Rostrevor, my husband and I found ourselves at the only restaurant open on a Monday night. Initially, we were not expecting much, especially after a demanding 12-mile hike to get there. However, to our delight, the meal turned out to be fantastic and surpassed our expectations. We were left wishing the restaurant would be open the next day so we could dine there again. The service and food were both outstanding!
Visited the Kilbroney for my mothers 80th birthday and was not disappointed. A great menu with something for everyone. The waitress was top notch and was knowledgeable about the menu. Food was exceptional. Well presented generous portions. All 11 of us had a fantastic experience with not a crumb left on any plate. Will most certainly be back.
We enjoyed two tasty meals at this restaurant. The atmosphere was pleasant and lively, and our waitress, Angela, was exceptional in taking care of our needs during both visits. This was especially appreciated as I had my 84-year-old mother with me.
First of all, this place is more of a restaurant than a bar. The food is distinctly average and very expensive for what you get compared with local competitors. There is a small cramped bar beside the restaurant

Not impressed with the tiny prawns of which I only got 11 or 12 as a main course. Not sure chips fried in lard go with any seafood. I was disappointed
Had a fabulous meal yesterday evening. The staff were very helpful. A great find in Rostrevor. Karen Gary Grace and Noah.
