The food is great! We didn't have a reservation, but they got us a table. We only got the 2 main courses, but it's enough for our family. We got our little one the kid's meal, their kid's chicken bites are perfectly cooked "real chicken". You can tell, it's hand-battered real chicken nuggets. We got the roast beef and the turkey and ham. Food was all good!

Staying at the Tullyglass for our 40th anniversary. Thought we'd give the Millside a try for a nice dinner. Not disappointed. The food was amazing, portions are huge, don't expect to have room for a dessert. Service was excellent, Ryan needs a special mention. Lovely guy with good local knowledge for a good walk after dinner, to aid digestion. Early bird menu doesn't skimp on portion size. Would highly recommend. Maybe the best meal out we have ever eaten. Not licensed, but didn't matter.

Beautiful restaurant in an old converted school. I was exploring the area, having always wanted to see Gracehill Village. The meal was outstanding and a very reasonable price.

Great restaurant. Went for Sunday lunch, which was excellent. The food was delicious. All the portions were large. We struggled to eat more than 2 courses. It is the staff who make this restaurant special. They don't rush you and are kind and considerate. Nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely restaurant - food was excellent from an extensive menu. I would recommend book early as it's very busy. Upstairs had lift access which was good for an older building. Bring your own drink! Staff were very friendly and helpful 10/10

We dined in the Millside restaurant to celebrate a birthday. The waitresses were super nice, very friendly, very helpful and accommodating. The food was beautiful and the portions were fantastic. Would highly recommend. This was my first time visiting and it certainly will not be my last. Cannot speak highly enough of the staff, the food and the atmosphere.
