"This is a really special restaurant. It is our favourite place for dinner in Ballyhackamore and has never disappointed. The food is wonderful fresh, flavoursome and seasonal. The cocktails and wine are excellent along with Guinness on tap and a selection of local craft beers. The service is always warm, friendly and attentive, you are made to feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The ambience is relaxed and intimate, perfect for date nights and conversation. Give it a go, you will not be dissapointed."

A great place for a nice occasion. Really good menu, perhaps lacking on the chicken dishes but offers something different than the normal. Seafood casserole was amazing, full of flavour and meat. Service excellent and staff were lovely. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

We had dinner for five, and both the appetizers and main courses were excellent. The staff was very friendly, but with only two people on duty, they struggled to manage all the tables, which led to delayed ordering and drink service. While the food was tasty, I found it a bit overpriced. I won’t be a regular visitor, but I’ll definitely return from time to time. View menu

I was very disappointed with the Sunday evening roast dinner. The roast potatoes were overcooked and rock hard, and the Yorkshire puddings were in the same state. After a nice starter, everything went downhill from there. The beef resembled pulled pork instead of the nice slices I was expecting. The chicken was alright, but overall, I'm sad to say we wouldn't return, especially given the prices. Service: Dine in.

We went out for dinner before my friend flew back to Canada and shared the fantastic Korean chicken. I had the lamb ragu, which did not disappoint at all. My friend ordered the chicken supreme, and it was just as delicious. For dessert, we each enjoyed the crème brûlée, which was marvelous. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was perfect. I definitely recommend this place and will certainly be back. Service: Dine-in.

"enjoyed our evening in james st it was the best culinary experience of our trip! we had been happy to see this evening as we had a few hit-N-seals in the course of our trip to belfast. we were not disappointed and had the fabulous evening. we were quickly welcomed and sitting. the place is beautiful and spacious. revitalized and environment. the bar is great and would like to come back, only for drinks at the bar sometime. we ordered cocktails immediately. an Irish gin negroni and a traditional old fashion. my neger was absolutely excellent. I think the old fashion could have been done with real sugar cubes and not sugar syrup, but it wasn't too bad. we were quick to choose our wein. we chose a beautiful juicy red, the cline, the old vine zinfandel, 2019. to begin we had the ham hock terrine with piccalilli champ bread and some scallops with boar bell. the hanging-hock court was the best ham-hock I had. the homemade piccalilli was something else. really nice crispy and sharp sharp to help cut through the hammock and the champbrot was delicious crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. the scallops and black bells were disappointing, as they lacked no salt or genuine aroma or texture between them. we still ate it and shared the rest of my hammock. we both decided to go for the co. tyrone 270g fillet steak with sides of champ and truffle parmesan chips. red wine and pfeffer sauce. they were fantastic steaks. Actually, I didn't think I would finish mine, but I did. I have met the right choice with the jus and the truffle chips. they went so well together, the dryness of the parmesan and sweet, slightly greasy of the jus. the steaks were perfectly cooked. a medium and my medium rare. fantastic aroma on the grilled outside of the steak and beautiful texture when they pierce. we both agreed that the champ was the best champ we ever cost. it was hot, soft, so well aromatized with hot butter on the top of the copper serving pot melt. it was really the most incredible champ. I was too full of dessert. but my sample ordered the sticky toffee pudding sundae. the team was friendly enough to make me an espresso martini that was both decaf and not a sugar syrup. it was brilliant. we both managed to work our way, although a surprisingly light sticky toast desserts on Sunday. the team was fantastic. very friendly and chatting to us. the bar team did not stop, I had the pleasure of standing and watching them make a great selection of drinks and cocktails. the waiting staff were also very friendly when they check in with us at comfortable places to ensure that we were in order. we felt very well looked around. the service was very good, we didn't feel any hurry, it felt like such a free time in this restaurant. when we come back to belfast, we will be back in absolute terms and we will definitely recommend others. Thank you."
