I had the Carbonara and a hot chocolate on a cold windy lunchtime. Both were really tasty! Staff were friendly and attentive and the restaurant had a nice chilled vibe.
Beautiful restaurant with a very nice atmosphere, bit is definitely very busy on a Saturday evening so would say that booking is essential. Nice and friendly staff but they were definitely very busy. Staff were all friendly however there appred to be some confusion when being asked about which of the food could be made gluten free. Was a good amount of options that could beade gluten free and was informed that all of their pizzas could be made with a gluten free base and was able to get a side of garlic bread with my main. Not many options for the dessert of gluten free only the gelato and the sorbet Food was absolutely was delicious and would would definitely recommend for the taste and cocktails were well made as well.
+Romantic surroundings +Friendly staff +Clean – Service not great, my wife’s second drink had to be requested 3 times taking 20 mins – tear n share bread burnt on top – pizza cooked well and looked good but base was completely burnt black on underside. I did eat it as I was very hungry and didn’t want waste time going elsewhere. – my wife’s lasagne was poor quality and lacked the pasta slices so really was a block off meat. – bill comes with automatic service charge! £85 seems very very expensive for a bit of burnt warm bread, 12” burnt pizza and a lasagne, no sides, 2 beers 2 small cocktails. It’s a thanks but NO thanks from us!!!
Lovely experience incredible staff, the atmosphere is incredible and just so beautiful. It's a really cosy feeling and you are almost transported out of Belfast the minute you sit down. Food was above and beyond good, I had carbonara and my friend had a vegan pizza plus a hummus to share, it was far too much but we would go back again. Bit in the higher price side for drinks but they are so tasty, top place to try!
Loved it here on Sunday evening! Bookings are a must as all tables were busy and walk ins were turned away when we entered. Staff were lovely, service was very prompt and efficient. Portions were great and quality of food was outstanding! Atmosphere is gorgeous!!
