Great wine bar and restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing - small sharing plates of Asian influenced tapas. We ordered chicken bang bang, scallops, pork belly, duck leg and dumplings. I can’t pick a favourite, everything was spot on. And the sommelier was so helpful in choosing the right wines. Full transparency, we also ordered the bread and butter pudding. This may have been our favourite.

Absolutely loved eating here and definitely would be back. My one not serious critique is receiving the potatoes last, I think they'd have been better suited earlier in the meal.

A fantastic selection of tapas in a relaxed atmosphere. My favourite dishes were the bang bang chicken and padrón peppers. Staff were friendly and attentive. A very pleasant evening indeed. I’d would also recommend the crème brûlée for dessert.

Outstanding - possibly my new favourite restaurant. Food was amazing , the monkfish and the reece's dessert especially! Some of the tempura was maybe slightly too done for my taste but still amazing!! Also the best bramble I've ever had, bit small but the nicest for sure! Will 1000% be back. The decor is stunning and the staff were lovely.

We were lucky to get a walk-in at this wonderful wine/tapas bar. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The shared plate menu had so many appealing options. The five we chose were superb. I recommend that anyone visiting, or living in, Belfast have at least one meal here.

Second time in a week it's that good. Food is amazing and the staff were so attentive, a girl called Anna was serving us and she was very friendly and accommodating. The small plates were all incredible, stuffing fritters were a favourite and the steak. Perfect place for a date night.

Nice little 'Asian tapas' style place. No real signage outside, so easy to miss. Nice, muted decor. Atmosphere was more hush hush couples on a date, rather than bustling tapas bar. Open kitchen at the back where you can watch it all happening. Bar team were great, front of house server seemed a bit flustered and out of sorts. Menu was good, but I think you'd have to get some new stuff on there soon to keep it interesting. My suggestion would be to remove some of the formal seating from the front room, put some standing tables in there, get one more staff, and get more small taster plates coming out quickly.

Great addition to Belfast. If you are looking for something a little different that offers a wide variety of delicious plates, you have to try this place. To get a true taste of this place and define value for your money, it is better to book in a group of 3/4+ people, allowing the capability to try multiple of the tapas style dishes. Very accessible location right across the road from the Europa, a beautifully designed interior, delicious food and great service.

Great choice of tapas and wine. But each tapa was quite small in portion. Staff were lovely and food came quickly! Would recommend this place :)

Visited courtesy of my daughter for my 60th. Fabulous food on the menu with some non written pluses. Ably explained by staff. All queries explained. Food service fairly speedy, drink service a little less so.

We loved it. First time and we’ll be back. Food and cocktails were excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. Small, cosy restaurant that’s really welcoming. Apricot brandy espresso martinis were superb.

Fantastic food and drink. Recommend getting 4-5 dishes (~£10-12 each). Nice decor. Very good service. Food comes as it gets ready. Food and drink for 2 comes to around £90, but worth it. Definitely Recommended.

What a feed! Took the wife for valentines day and we wanted to try everything on the menu (we weren't far off!) The menu is a mix of sharing plates and a few larger main dishes. All food comes out when it's ready so you have just got to tuck in. Food selection of wine and friend staff. We will be back!
