      We made reservations a month in advance to get a table at this popular restaurant. Lucky we did, as they were turning away walk-ins as we came in for our reservation. They have a typical menu, but also the ability to combine it for courses at a set price which we appreciated.

      We had the fried tiger prawns and the rare beef crispy salad to start. For mains, we had the roasted hake and the feather blade of beef. Everything was absolutely delicious, with an obvious focus on the quality of the ingredients.

      Lovely atmosphere with dim lighting and date night vibes. Great service and we had a wonderful night.

      A cute bistro in Belfast! One of our cab drivers recommended for us to make a reservation for dinner and because this was one of his favorites.
      We had the pork belly entree and a cheese tray for dessert.
      A lot of food, very tasty and everyone was so friendly- our hostess, waiter and the 2 gals eating at the table next to ours....
      Definitely recommend this restaurant to all who visit Belfast!

      Excellent and friendly staff, always great food. So much flavor without the usual heaviness and unhealthy cooking styles used in most restaurants. Have now been several times and the food is consistently high quality. Would recommend this as your first choice for lunch or dinner in Belfast. Don't even think about going anywhere else!

      Husband and I went here on our anniversary and we're not disappointed. They thankfully fit us in without a reservation and the other reviews were spot on. The food was delicious, the wait staff was phenomenal and very friendly and the food came out relatively quick for how busy they were. The adult beverages were also very tasty!

      Thanks for a great last meal in Belfast before we headed out to our next destination in the morning.

      The food was excellent!! I had the beef, which was tender and tasty accompanied with a soft, fluffy mashed potato. I also recommend the tender lamb chops! Fireworks in your mouth. Dessert was decadent! Service was great too and easily found a table for 4 without reservations.

      Amazing!! Innovative, interesting and delicious food!! Started with the smoked salmon appetizer as well as the pear, blue cheese and candied pecan appetizer and neither disappointed! Then on to the hake and seabass with patatas bravas entrees, so amazing and I'm not even a potato lover! The service is impeccable and extremely helpful!! This is a must while in Belfast!

      Pretty good little place. A bit hard to find from the street as there is no sign directly on the main store front on the street. However, look for a large glass front with seats on the inside. Tasty little menu, very farm to table. If you're looking for authentic Irish food this is not the place to go. However it was good.

      I started with the French onion soup which came with a side of soda bread. It was very good and served piping hot. For my main course I had the lamb dish with a side of mashed potatoes. Again very tasty. While I certainly enjoyed my meal, ext time I pass through Belfast I would like to try something authentic.

      Lamb with a side of mash... delish!
