I love the Chowder here! And of course all the other food but in particular the Chowder!. I come here regularly and love the service and food. The price is excellent too, whether alone or with family and friends its so reasonable and yummy. Recently went else where for a bowl of chowder and was sorely disappointed - won't make... More

Nice place, lovely people the owner is a lovely man, and I think the waitress is his daughet, a lovely person too. The food was good, perfect cook, and fair prices. The only thing we didn't like, we ordered a king prawn dish, and I got 7 very small prawns (they may be king on the future, but at the... More

Our weekend at the Seafood Tavern was truly wonderful. Michael and Catriona were tremendous hosts, so welcoming and helpful. They made us feel right at home and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are spacious and spotless and have the comfiest beds ever. The view from our room was breathtaking. The craic in the bar at night is something... More

My wife, son and I decided to stay here for the night as we attempted to view the Northern Lights from Malin Head. I will never forget the hospitality we received from all the staff. When we arrived, Maura showed us to our room which was spotless and had a tv, tea, coffee, biscuits and bottled water. We had dinner... More

I stayed here again on business. My plane was delayed by two hours getting into Derry so when I got to the Sea View the restaurant was closed. They re opened the kitchen and cooked something specially for me. Now that is service ! This was followed by a very pleasant couple of hours drinking bushmills at the bar with... More

The night we stayed we were hit by what was left over from hurricane Katia with winds of 85 miles an hour. Michael and his wife made our stay very pleasant and Michael’s stories and... More

Stayed nearby in this most lovely location. Their choice of seafood did justice to the area and the creativity of the chef, combined with very friendly staff made this a pleasant dining out experience. It was about on par with some of the restaurants I visit in Edinburgh for cost. A previous comment was made about not being able to... More

We travelled to The Seaview Tavern for the local oysters that they list on their website. This being SeptembeR we were truly looking forward to tasting the freshest local oysters. To our disappointment, they didn't have any. In their defence they said they would order some in for dinner if we would like to come back - but, as we... More

Went with a party of friends on a classic car run to Malin Head from the South Antrim/ Belfast area on a pre planned outing. Had a chicken goujons dish that was well cooked but I was disappointed in the side order of garlic fries that I considered to be undercooked. My wife had a chicken curry with rice and... More
