Absolutely amazing visit.Can we just appreciate how wonderful and amazing the staff were?! We were 7 adults and a baby and they were honestly so accommodating and the Manager was wonderful.Food portions are huge and reasonably priced. Cocktails are lovely and the decor is beautiful. Would highly recommend and would go back in a heartbeat.Thank you Villa for a wonderful evening (maybe swap the sauvignon from Chile)

Great atmosphere in this restaurant. Food really good and not too much of a wait time.

We had such a lovely evening at Villa. Villa looks lovely from the outside, very vibrant and bustling and we were interested to try the restaurant. When we arrived we went through the bar to the dining area. The music was quite loud and I was concerned it was going to be too loud for a comfortable meal. It wasn't so bad in the dining area and we had a lovely comfortable seating area. The waitress was excellent, very fast service and very pleasant and attentive. I have a fish allergy and made it known to the management who were more than accommodating to ensure my food was prepared separately, despite there being a lot of fish dishes on the menu. I had chicken goujons with champ and veg and my family had scampi and salt and chili chicken. All beautiful and no complaints. Very generous helpings as well. We also had jam and coconut sponge and cheesecake for dessert ... both of which were amazing. I would highly recommend Villa. Lovely evening enjoyed by all.

The evening we called in the North coast holiday crowd out in force, with a buzzing atmosphere. We were pleasantly surprised to catch a table for two. For early birds there are tables on the terrace overlooking the Promenade.Villa has modern stylish décor, with good use of lighting and the seating spaced well too avoid overcrowding. Music a touch too loud for an intimate conversation with the missus.Interesting touch to see into the kitchen, obviously trying to emulate higher end restaurants, but sadly it fails as you are just watching beige bread-crumbed food being reheated.As far as cuisine goes, this is modern northern Ireland dining at its best. Be warned, a lot of the dishes go heavy on the beige. The chilli chicken penne is overly sweet, and should come with a warning that it may cause early-onset diabetes. I suspect the dish was prepared with a jar of sweet chilli sauce. The medium-rare steak was cooked very well.Service was reasonably quick, but despite raising concerns over one of the dishes, little was offered by way of redress. Was a little cheeky of the waitress to offer the desert menu following the sugar rush with our main, hence the 2 star review.

Bit of a wait with restrictions on place but lovely atmosphere to wait in. Food was gorgeous and we'll priced as well. 3 people with two bottles of wines, stater each and a main each and it was £75. Definitely worth a stop at.

First experience at Villa and will definitely be back. Good variety of choices on the lunch which are reasonably priced. The food was tasty and the staff and service excellent.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant, lovely in side when very friendly staff. Food was really good, couldn't fault it at all and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back again when I am next in Portstewart.

Loved the ambience and the food. Scampi was so delicious! Nicely priced. Staff were polite and very friendly.
