An incredible dining experience!! The front of the house were absolutely excellent. They couldn't have looked after us better after a last-minute booking and a very full bill. Drinks menu fab, neat but complete. Started with a smooth and crisp champagne. We both ordered some light bites to start, all interested but fab!! Both ordered fillet steaks and a selection of sides. Malbec for smooth accompaniments. The steaks were to perfection, and every bite was a delight every time. Our server's were incredibly helpful and ensured we had a personal experience. We finished with a made to order cheese plate and a finisher glass of Rioja. James St, you have delighted 2 diners tonight, and we will definitely be back!! Special call out to the ninja smooth manoeuvring front of house and server (Davidos??), simply incredible 👍. Thank you!!

Fantastic food Best apple tarte tatain I've seen or eaten in nearly 30 years of being in the catering trade. Steaks cooked to perfection for everyone at the table. And a very pleasant cauliflower soup as my starter. Reasonably priced for very high end dining. Would recommend to anyone that is in town for more than a few days to try and get a booking here.

WOW. Ordered the Gnocci and a side of carrots with feta and they seriously blew my mind. Best meal I've had in months. I would definitely recommend. This place is worth every penny. Cheap for the quality. I'm coming back for the Crab Linguini.

Wow what a fantastic meal we had last night, my partner and I stopped in for the steak special before a show at the opera house, the chateaubriand was to die for and we’ve found our new favourite sauce, cafe de Paris, which I had never heard of before. Friendly, welcoming, great atmosphere. Very impressed. Cannot wait to come back!

Snacks great, we had olives and almonds and breads - all very good. My starter (the beetroot and fior de latte) was amazing. Crab and chilli linguine was a little too fatty / creamy and not really any chilli flavour coming through. For mains, the gnocchi was similar, too fatty / creamy/ heavy sauce. The sirloin was very very salty. So salty you couldn't taste the meat but looked well cooked. Chips that accompanied the steak were also very salty. If it wasn't for this excessive seasoning and heavy sauces, this would be one of the best meals I've eaten in Belfast.

Good steak, the prices of this place are bit on the more expensive side. The place was packed and not well ventilated. It was boiling hot. I had sweat dripping down my face as I was eating the delicious steak 😂

Fantastic experience & beautiful food. Loved that the dishes had their own unique qualities, served or presented in a way that is different to elsewhere. Staff were friendly & professional, no delays or issues. Loved it! Steak deal with tomahawk or chateaubriand is great value. First time having Cafe de Paris sauce, delicious!

Food was stellar! Probably the top two dinners we had on our entire trip to the British Isles. Server was very welcoming and attentive. A bit loud inside, so it felt like everyone was talking over one another, but the food more than made up for it.

We love this restaurant. Our hotel recommended it and the Google reviews backed up their recommendation so we went. The food and service were spectacular. We each ordered the 3 Course Fixed Menu. Every item was delicious and presented beautifully. Neive was our waitress and she was professional, friendly, and high energy. We would be regulars here if we lived In Belfast.
