Portrush.
Fantastic food (mainly Asian inspired) and atmosphere. Doesn’t allow children and runs on a first come first served system (although this has sporadically changed through covid restrictions). Can require a long wait during busy periods but the cocktail bar upstairs helps with this.
Cocktail bar is also open to non diners. Definitely worth a visit.
