Very nice restaurant. Excellent staff. The let down was the seafood. I had mussels, but they were the smallest mussels I have ever had they were the size of raisins. I did point this out to the waiter. The fish main course was spoilt by the sauce which masked the taste of the fish. Otherwise it was good ambience, very nice waiting staff.

We had our wedding reception here and we cannot help enough praise on Neal, chef Muhammad and the entire cooking and service staff. The food is exceptional; from the canapés to the courses, the Irish coffees and cocktails. This restaurant is a jewel in the Irish Crown of hospitality. Neal looked after us so well, and removed any pressure on us. We have eaten here dozens of times and every experience has been one of pure joy. Our guests were blown away! For those to whom this was their first experience, allhave said they can't wait to be back. Thank you Neal, Muhammad and every one. You made our wedding day an amazing experience. Thank you Michael and Richard.

Raymie's is a locally beloved restaurant on Duke Street in Warrenpoint. This is with good reason as the food is up to a very high standard and the menu has enough choice to keep most customers very happy.There are no vegan options on the menu but when we asked our servers they provided the vegan and vegetarian dishes for that day. I had the mushroom risotto which was absolutely delicious. It had a combination of multiple type of mushrooms from Oyster to Shimeji which gave a rich flavour. They opted to avoid the creamy flavour and focus on the veg which I think worked really well.As much as I loved this dish it is a shame to see no vegan starters/desserts and would love to see other mains on offer for vegan/vegetarian visitors.Overall I really enjoyed this meal but would be excited to see what further options may become available in the future. I am giving 4 stars in this review but this only reflects the lack of choice rather than the 5 star experience we had. I would definitely recommend visiting Raymie's ?

We were up in Warrenpoint visiting Fort Evergreen and just googled places near me to eat and Raymies was the 1st in the list. My children can be quite picky eaters and had asked for a combination of foods off the menu that weren’t actually a dish which was absolutely no t problem. The fish was beautiful and fresh. The staff were lovely. The only complaint that we had was my started didn’t come out the same time as my husband and had to remind staff, but when it came out it was absolutely delicious. Definitely one of the best meals out we’ve had in a long time.

Simply outstanding. Have called into this restaurant before many times and never have been disappointed. This time was no different. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon and after a very professional warm friendly welcome shown to our table. Drinks were served as the very well informed waitress explained the menu offerings. My wife dad the chilli prawn and scallops while I decided to have the BBQ sticky chicken wings. Each dish arrived excellently presented and were both full of flavour. Our main course followed with the Turkey and Ham and the Crusty herb topped Cod. The flavours were exceptional served with market fresh vegetables and potatoes. At all times the staff were super attentive. My decided to close with a White chocolate roulade and an Irish coffee. From start to finish it was a truly beautiful experience. Will return very soon.

I have called in with my husband and grown up daughter after our hike in Rosstrevor. We were given a table and the service was great. My problem is quality vs price. I adore seafood and was so excited to try dishes from the menu. But when you are spending £32-£35 for the main course, it has to be incredible ! Unfortunately it was not the case. My husband had a vegetarian dish and it was mediocre which is ok when you are in a seafood restaurant . My daughter and I were really disappointed with our food. The sauce might be the problem , I don’t know but I was struggling to taste anything as the rich creamy sauce was so overpowering. My daughter had exactly the same problem . Once again, I do want to reiterate - service was great , but I feel robbed and disappointed that the food was so poor. Unfortunately we will never be back and we will never recommend this place either.

The freshest sea food I've ever eaten at reasonable prices and amazing service. This restaurant is the holy trinity, fresh quality sea food, talented chefs, and excellent attentive table service. I recommend this to all who enjoy delicious sea food and wonderful service.

First time for everything, menu little expensive but it's worth it.

Delicious food! Lovely place and worth every penny. Would definitely go back next time we are in Ireland.
I was second time there. No happy with the food. My monkfish was three quarter bones not meat. I almost didn't taste the fish. Risotto was too mashy and tasteless and not warm enough. Much too expensive for what is served. Generally very disappointed this time.

Another wonderful meal in this restaurant. Excellent service and atmosphere. A true gem in Warrenpoint

The best seafood I’ve had in a very long time! This place went above and beyond my expectations. raymies was recommended to us by a local, and it was so good I’d make the trip back to warrenpoint just to visit the restaurant again. The owner, Noel was so welcoming and friendly. Fantastic fresh seafood. Warm, fresh bread arrived at the table soon after we ordered. The sea bass was delicious and the crab claws were bursting with flavour. Definitely will be back here.

Let’s clear it up first off. If my wife was writing this review it would be 5 stars. She had the salt & chilli chicken starter and the pad Thai chicken main. I knew I ordered the wrong main when I tasted hers. Her starter and main were ace. We did both agree that we wouldn’t go for this dessert choice again (one between two) but that’s our taste. I knocked one star off for the chowder and the seafood rigatoni as the depth of flavour in each should have been better. Concentrate stocks more, especially fish, and add celery to the fish stock preparation and don’t be afraid to season food well. I’m being picky here really, picky but when it’s this good then I think they should go the extra mile and nail it completely. The coffees are darn good too. It’s a cosy place and hasn’t much changed from our memory since it was owned by, I think Mark, but that’s long ago. All the serving staff were really attentive to the diners including us. It’s really worth supporting and as it’s tough times use it or lose it.

Sorry guys. When you pay £40 for a special (Surf and Turf) you expect at least something special. Both my medium rare ribeye and the half lobster were tough. The house chimichurri on the lobster was not nice. It most certainly wasn’t nice with the pepper sauce. The elements of the dish just didn’t marry well and was way below par. My wife gladly enjoyed her 12 ounce. Chips were nice as was the garlic potatoes. I just couldn’t justify paying £30-£40 plus per main for a meal like that again. Will skip next time I’m in town. Shame.
