The cosy feel here is everything. It&#39;s like stepping into a warm, softly lit room after a long day. The staff were so kind and attentive, which just added to the lovely, relaxed mood. The food was genuinely good quality, simple but done really well. A proper little gem.

Popped in for the festive bottomless brunch. James and Patrick were brilliant, really attentive. The cocktails were the highlight for me, kept them coming. A solid way to spend an afternoon.

Great spot to catch the game. Proper old-school pub with friendly staff, and the pints are very reasonably priced.

The Friday night date deal is such a steal! We split a few small plates and a bottle of wine, and the bill was way less than expected. Perfect for catching up with friends without breaking the bank.

Solid ramen in Belfast. Noodles, broth, toppings all good.

Perfect for a quick bite before a show at the Lyric. Food came out fast, which was a relief. Prices are fair for the area. Had the fish and chips, solid portion.

Dan and Sean were so lovely! They really knew their stuff about the cocktails, helped us pick the perfect round for our group. Made the whole night so much more fun chatting with them.

The set menu was lovely, and the thoughtful extras like the rose were a nice touch. The booth seating was very comfortable.

The hummus was outstanding, really fresh and creamy. The Adana kebab was good, though the vegetables on the side were a bit overcooked.

The food was packed with flavor. The grilled octopus had a perfect char, tender inside. The lamb shank fell off the bone, rich and savory. Portions were generous. Just a solid meal, focused on the plate.

The steak was good, but the real highlight was the house champagne they offered. A nice touch that really complemented the evening.

Been coming here for years, and that chilli beef never lets me down. Always the same rich flavour, just spicy enough. My kids are happy with their usuals too. Portions are still generous, which is a relief these days.

Decent spot for a business lunch. Moved to a new two-floor space, much more spacious than their old place. Casual dress code works for meetings. Service was efficient, got us in and out within the hour. Food was fine, nothing standout.

The Korean fried tempeh bao was a real highlight. The tempeh was crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and the bao bun was so soft. The corn ribs with that sriracha butter were good too, but the bao stole the show for me.

Service was attentive, they had a separate vegan menu which was a nice touch. Staff handled our dietary requests without any fuss. Professional but not stiff.

Zuzanna at the drive-thru was so nice, she made sure I got extra dips. The fries were a generous portion, too.

Decent Italian spot in the city centre. What stood out was the server&#39;s attention to my partner&#39;s allergy note&mdash;they actually suggested a smart swap for the sauce. The wine list is compact but thoughtful, had a nice Barbera that went well with the pasta. Service was a bit slow later on, but the care over the allergy made up for it.
