"as a few local businessmen we decided to have an early dinner, and the chelsea was close, so we gave it a try. the menu was reasonable as the prices, but eating itself was very common. it was enough and we could get what we did. at the entry to the chelsea we were stopped and asked for our covid passports from a scarf looking doorman who had a female employee who was also scarf and also not in agreement with the dress code of the clientel in the did they reminded me of homeless. the date was December 17th, and it was remarkable that there was no atmosphere or festive joy. after our meal we had a drink at the bar with some friends, but that was unpleasant and we stayed for one. pure orange was poured out of a large karton and the only vodka they had served had a name I've never heard of. the workers were more interested in making cocktails and cracking glasses on the theke than to serve us and they were not very pleasant. I would think twice to go back to the chelsea for a drink that I felt underestimated by the young and inexperienced employees who employ them."

£9+ for an underwhelming sandwich. Soup was lovely. £6.30 for a Guinness. Overpriced

I don't get the round bar. The few times I've ventured in I've found a good atmosphere to be lacking. Food was great though. 2of the 3 staff that served us were very pleasant.

Weird. A smallish bar with a strange crowd who turned the volume up to eleven even though the place wasn't full. Very good wine in fairness, but typical Belfast in that the cocktails are pretty much bereft of alcohol, so you end up paying for an expensive fruit cocktail. Nice staff though.

Very rude and ignorant staff. I spoke to the manager about the barman with the curly hair and his rudeness and he responded with “I’d say he is just tired and very busy” we were 2 of 6 people in the bar so he definitely wasn’t busy. This was just before the Bruce Springsteen crowd came 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."

"I'm an American. I was invited to work at the queen’s university in a global conference. my airline has moved my baggage, so I stopped in the barking dog to use her wlan to check the status of my baggage and have a drink and a snack with my associate who has unusual allergies. the menu had nothing to call us, so we have decided to finish and move only our drinks./ at no point has anyone informed that it is illegal to have only drinks, and our server ran our review without mentioning any legal requirements. After I paid, someone who I suspect, the manager, came to the table and checked our reception. exactly what I thought was what they said before they cheated on me how it is illegal to buy drinks in a restaurant without eating. I apologised and explained that I had no warning. I offered to buy food retroactive and they refused. then they repeated that I was in a restaurant and not in a pub and that my activities were illegal. they denied my multiple attempts to apologise me while I explained that I am not out of the opposite. this experience was very confusing for me, because the night before me had drinks in a restaurant without food and it was no problem. in any case I was told that there is no such law and that the ordering of drinks without eating in a restaurant is very common. I've never been treated so badly in a customer service dynamic and I'm not sure why this happened. I feel targeted and totally mistreated for what does not seem to be a good reason. To finish it, it was my birthday. complete error in the name of what this person was. I will say the rest of the staff was very pleasant and accommodating."
