The portions are decent. I had the fish and chips, the batter was crisp but the chips were a bit too soft for my liking. Good amount of food though.

A solid neighbourhood spot. The pizzas are enormous, we couldn&#39;t finish ours! Good, quick service and a nice buzzy vibe with the low lighting. Menu had loads to choose from.

Tried the early bird menu. The salt and chili chicken starter had a proper kick to it. But the sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream? Honestly, the best I&#39;ve ever had.

Lovely festive afternoon tea. The smoked duck starter was a real highlight, beautifully presented. A nice treat.

Cosy spot, really relaxing. Not too busy when we went. The grilled salmon was cooked just right, flaky and moist. My wife&rsquo;s pasta was a bit too salty for her taste, but we still enjoyed the evening.

Lovely atmosphere inside, really nicely done. The staff were so kind and attentive, which made everything feel relaxed and easy. A very pleasant evening.

The staff were really attentive even on a busy Saturday night. I always appreciate that. The grilled salmon was cooked just right, and the seasonal vegetables tasted so fresh. A nice, simple meal.

A decent spot for a quiet dinner. The service was fine and the food was pretty good, as usual. The pasta was cooked nicely, though the portion felt a bit small for the price.

The pork belly starter was the real star for me - the crackling was spot on and the meat just fell apart. The schnitzel was juicy too, but those chips? Honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had in ages. Properly crispy outside, fluffy inside.

The fish and chips are always spot on. Their house ale was a great match for the crispy batter. Worth the trip from Belfast.

The team here are genuinely lovely. Quick, efficient, and they remembered we&#39;d been before. It&#39;s the small things that make a difference. Service felt smooth from start to finish.

The chefs and a couple of the waitresses were really friendly. The main chef even came out to explain the specials, which was a nice touch.

Had a fab catch-up with friends at Austins. The hotel itself is gorgeous and spotless, but the real star was the food - seriously good! Staff were lovely too. Perfect for a relaxed group dinner.

The portions are huge, honestly. I was surprised how much food you get for the price. It&#39;s really good quality too. I ended up taking half of it home.

Been living nearby for years, finally tried it. The food&#39;s the real deal &ndash; you can taste the care in every dish. Had the steak, cooked just right. Service was spot on too. A bit on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for.

Portions are definitely generous here, which is nice. Found it a comfortable spot for a simple, no-fuss lunch. The service was friendly and prompt, which made the whole thing very easy. Good for when you just want something filling without any hassle.

Staff are super friendly and energetic. Got seated upstairs, nice and quiet. Perfect for a quick lunch break. Food came out fast, which is what I needed.

The live music was a nice touch, made the whole place feel lively. But honestly, for the price of the main courses, the portions were a bit on the small side. Expected a bit more for what we paid.

Great spot for a birthday party! The staff brought out the cake with music, such a nice touch.

A solid late-night spot in Belfast! The vibe here really picks up after dark. I grabbed their classic burger and chips around 11pm when everywhere else was closed. It hit the spot perfectly.

The service was spot on. Staff were friendly and attentive without hovering, which I really appreciated. Made the whole evening feel relaxed.

First time here with friends. The mocktails were a solid choice for those not drinking, and the food was good. But for the price, the portions felt a bit on the small side.

Love that they&rsquo;re dog-friendly during the day! Our pup got a little water bowl and the staff were so kind. Really appreciate a place that welcomes the whole family. 🐾

The salted chilli beef was super tender and flavourful. Got it for a quick lunch, came out fast. Staff were friendly and efficient, which is exactly what you need when you&#39;re in a rush.

The staff here are really friendly and efficient, which made for a pleasant lunch. The atmosphere is quite relaxed. I had the fish and chips, which was pretty good - the batter was nice and crispy. It was a bit on the pricey side for what it was, but a decent meal overall.
