No atmosphere in premises very quiet Nice choice on menu I choose the loaded potato skins with bacon and cheese couldn't go far wrong with these Had 2 ask for new cuterly for main course which I ordered chicken louisanna loaded with tobacco onions ... to much sauce which didn't taste the best and the tobacco onions wern't crispy very oily indeed the chicken breast was small I got sweet potato fries as my side order ...wilted chips as if they were reheated ! Only ate here as it was a friends choice for our night out wouldn't return again for food Chicken wings starters were good according to the others but could do with a wee hot bowl of water to dip fingers in after

We booked a cocktail class here for my sister inlaws hen party activity. From the first email Peter was so nice, he kept in touch at every stage and was there to answer all questions! We made payment before we arrived and this was no bother. Arriving a lady showed us to an outside bar where we were having the class.... The two fella were great and had a laugh with us, the first cocktail was made by them and then everyone took a turn to make one themselves! We also had some finger food after, this was just sausages, chips and a few goujons, just perfect as we were all very hungry come tea time. Definitely would recommend sister sarahs for cocktail classes and even as a bar (we visited previously for a weekend away)!! Thanks again to Peter and the staff for making our hen activity great!!

Reviewed By Seamus M

As you pass by Newmills you wouldn't think a restaurant so near to Letterkenny could do so much business.it is about a mile from the outskirts of Letterkenny. When you come here after attending a local funeral you don't expect much. Normally these after affairs tend to be soup and sandwiches. Yes we did have soup but a main course as well. Turkey and Ham or roast beef. The beef was delicious and well cooked. The veg also, normally I find them to be over boiled and lacking in flavour. Not so in this establishment which I was informed is under new management. The one vegan among us had salad and it was very nice too she said. My wife who is a coeliac got a gluten free version of her meal. All round an excellent venue preferably for a happier occasion.The service wasn't trudged and staff very nice and helpful.

We were in on Sunday night for something to eat. Nice bright surroundings and a two piece playing acoustic guitars. Lovely atmosphere. Food, just lovely but the highlight of the night was the service from a young lady called Aoife. Her service was very attentive, she was lovely and very funny. I had started a joke about mushy peas and she quietly picked up on it. Let's just say that at dessert time, the joke was on me! It was hilarious, she just made our night. I really hope the manager (we spoke with the duty manager, lovely guy) realises what an absolute gem (s)he had in Aoife. As someone who has taught customer service, I realised it straight away. This young lady would be an asset to any front line business. I hope she gets her just reward.Warehouse, a great place to be, Aoife, the icing on the cake (or peas).

WE have eaten here on several occasions with our Irish friends whenever we visit Letterkenny this night was just the two of us and they had a steak special night on. The place was not as busy as we have seen it on previous times but was a few people eating. GIrl came for order within a few minutes, my husband decided on a ribeye steak with pepper sauce and garlic potatoes, while I went for the Ranch house chicken a chicken breast with onions, bacon and cheese with garlic potatoes also but decided against the salad. Drinks we ordered a pint of Guiness and half a lager and blackcurrant. First time in my 68 years I ended up with a pint of lager and black!! Food arrived a side salad(not ordered) no pepper sauce and husbands steak was sirloin not ribeye!!! We do not like to complain so apart from asking for absent pepper sauce we ate our meal. For desserts I chose cheesecake as most of others had cream which I asked to be left off needless to say it came to the table with cream which we did ask to be taken off. OVerall the meal was good as always apart from one or two slipups.

Our hiking group (20 of us) had dinner at this establishment. Our room was set with 2 long tables which allowed for plenty of conversation time. We were offered a special menu that allowed various choices (starter, main and dessert) for our entire group. The service was hopping and smiling the entire evening. I chose the mussels (very good and plentiful), then the sweet cured bacon which was actually a pork chop and a desert made with seaweed. It was a great meal served hot and with a smile. By the time, our group was finished, there wasn't a seat left in the entire place. If in town, plan on the Yellow Pepper
