Nice place, bit pricey. Squid starter is good but they bulk it up with lettuce so not worth £12. Steak was okay but nothing special.

Was worth every penny. Fine dining at a reasonable price. Service was friendly with a side of funny. And the dessert has left us with no more wants in this world. Only downside was not many ginger employees which we were looking forward to.

Lovely restaurant which is actually much bigger than it looks from the outside. A varied menu with something for everyone. The beef blade with mash was beautiful it just melted in your mouth. Maybe a little more veg wouldn’t have gone a miss. My cheese tart starter was tasty and a great portion size. Lovely atmosphere would recommend you give it a try. There is a fixed price menu 3 courses for around £45 each, a 10% tip is automatically added to your bill. Wine list was varied and reasonably priced.

All the reviews are right about this place. We visited during our city break and couldn’t fault the food, everything we ate was delicious and the service was great too. One of the waiters who brought our mains was a little rude when we couldn’t hear the meals he was saying which made us a little uncomfortable but the other servers were brilliant and it didn’t change our thoughts about this place, it’s great!

A lovely warm welcome on arrival for Saturday lunch from staff. I had cod on a bed of Orzo and it was amazing! All four of us chose different dishes and we could not fault the food. My friend had the vegan cauliflower dish and she was bowled over by the flavours. Desserts, wine, side orders…all were delicious. First class service by staff especially the tall guy who greeted us on arrival.

This a great restaurant. A warm welcome at the door and very good service throughout. The food was delicious. I had a starter of pear, walnut and blue cheese tart, it was gorgeous . My husband had the smoked salmon and crab vinaigrette and said it was delicious. We both had fish as our main courses and they were cooked to perfection, good sized portions as well. Our waiters were friendy and professional. It's a busy place, so that speaks for itself. It was our first time there and we will be back.

Fabulous place - I saw the recommendations in my hotel in Belfast and ventured out - really warm welcome from the manager and although the restaurant (when arrived a tad late at 8.45pm) was clearly very busy, he found me a table … and thereafter the service was excellent only matched by the quality of the food - squid starter was tender and came with a garlic mayonnaise and what I can best describe as a light chilli syrup … nectar! Steak main was similarly excellent as was the dauphinoise potatoes and the cheeky cauliflower fries with aoli. Lovely Malbec to accompany - don’t take my word go and test it for yourself!!

Fabulous city centre restaurant, just down the road from The Europa Hotel. I'd definitely recommend booking as it's obviously popular. We received a warm welcome from both the manager and serving staff. Great menu, not too many dishes. I opted for a warm tiger prawn salad starter followed by a delicious Pork belly dish. The food was excellent. Would highly recommend.
