I just can't believe we have driven past so often and not stopped. Seafood was excellent, and the sizzling steak looked wonderful too. Portions were hearty, food piping hot and delicious, service friendly and efficient. View from our table hard to beat on this glorious if windy April day. What more could you ask for.

We had heard a lot about this place and had read the reviews. Our expectations were therefore raised. The service was particularly slow with a large portion of the wine consumed before our orders were taken. The menu was indeed extensive and looked promising however the end product did not live up to expectations. Unfortunately rather average. We have eaten in a large number of fish restaurants around the world but this one is some way off the pace. Closer to home the Boat House on the island of Gigha and Cafe Fish in Tobermory are hugely better. Overall not worth the drive to Kircubbin.HiThanks for taking the time to leave a review which has left us all quite shocked!I would love to hear from you to confirm when you dined with us, what you had that was rather average, to discuss the service as it does not ring any bells with our manager or supervisors who do not remember any diners waiting any length of time more than usual to place an order, or any diners who consumed a large portion of wine while waiting, or when checked while dining if there was any problems/issues with their chosen dishes.I'm delighted you have eaten in a lot of restaurants around the world but to say we are off the pace is laughable, we are booked well in advance, we serve only fresh local ingredients, we will keep doing what we do and we do very well, obviously the other diners who leave a review on tripadvisor do not know what they are talking about!By recommending to people the Boat House on the Island of Gigha and Cafe Fish in Tobermory (closer to home HELLO) you could maybe supply the ferry to get the customers from Northern Ireland over to Scotland.I look forward to hearing from you, please ring me on 028427 38222.CheersLeigh

We came here for a late lunch / early dinner after visiting Mount Stewart. I had the large bowl of seafood chowder served with wheaten bread. The chowder had a rich, creamy taste although I'd have preferred less potato and more seafood. The chowder was served in a wide, shallow bowl which looked very tempting, but served in a deeper bowl would have kept the food hot for longer. My wife's hake with garlic potatoes and samphire was served with a tangy, citrus mayonnaise which was delicious.

We go to Captain Jack's regularly and we are never disappointed hence why we always go back. The Menu has a Fantastic selection so if you don't find anything that you like, there is something wrong! We visited today and Nicole served us. She was very attentive and nothing is ever a problem. As for the food, we got a Roast Beef Dinner and a Steak Sandwich with Skinny Fries. You always get great size portions and the food is very good value for money. You can even bring your own alcoholic beverage which is definitely a plus! All in all if you are in the area, call in. You won't be disappointed. Delicious food, great value and very friendly staff. What's not to like?

We came over from Isle of Man on a grey day. We were hungry so came straight to the Cuan as we have been well-fed here previously. Right up to our expectations, if anything even better than before. Prompt, friendly service, our beautifully cooked meals arrived in good time. Even our normally reticent crew member commented her meal was delicious, praise indeed! The usual welcoming atmosphere is still there, if anything slightly improved as we were earlier than our normal time so the restaurant was still only filling up. It all set us up nicely for a stroll around the coast path overlooking Audley's Roads and Castle Ward.
