Extremely disappointing service…read more We visited The Dirty Duck and spent nearly $60 USD on our meal. I ordered the fish and chips and, when I was finished eating, I specifically asked for the remainder of my food to be taken away and boxed up so I could bring it home. After we received and paid our bill, I sat waiting for my leftovers to be returned. They never came. We eventually asked our server, Matthew, where my food was, and he told me it had been thrown away because I had supposedly told him to throw it away. I absolutely did not. I had specifically asked for it to be boxed up. Mistakes happen, and although I was understandably frustrated that food I had paid for was thrown away, what happened next is what completely changed my opinion of the experience. When I expressed my frustration, Matthew told me to "get over myself." I was genuinely stunned. There is a huge difference between making an honest mistake and speaking disrespectfully to a paying customer after that mistake is brought to your attention. An apology or even a simple attempt to make the situation right would have gone a long way. Instead, I was spoken to dismissively and made to feel as though I was the problem for questioning why my food had been thrown away. We are visiting from the United States, and I was excited to experience local places while here. Unfortunately, this interaction left an awful impression. I hope the owner or management sees this review because regardless of the misunderstanding over the food, telling a customer to "get over yourself" is completely inappropriate and unacceptable customer service. The Dirty Duck may be a beautiful and popular place, but our experience with the service was incredibly disappointing.

Best thing about this place is the fancy sleek design. Also the table waiting service is one of the…read morebet I have ever experienced. The atmosphere is quite chilled which is nice. Other than that the food did not meet what I would have expected from a famous chefs restaurant. The portions where a decent size. I thought thy many have been super tiny. I found the food quite bland. The food highlight was my Canonbear starter and the bacon and cabbage side. My gnocchi main did not have a real depth of flavour. If you want gnocchi ,Horatio Todds is the place. So I was expecting something that would be better than that as this is a famous chefs place. The beetroot starter also lacked flavour. Have had it other places where it had way more taste. The menu has a decent range. Nice To see Sharon's platters on it and also nibbles for the table. Food took ages to be served. We had been there 2 hours and had just finished our mains. Did not get time for dessert as we had to be somewhere. The place wasn't even busy. The price was ok. But would have expected more flavour for what you are paying. I would not be back here. There is way too much eating establishment choice in East Belfast to waste money and taste buds in here.

We went along to the newly opened Marco Pierre White restaurant at the Park Avenue Hotel. Having…read morevisited the hotel previously, I noticed the change immediately, the restaurant looks fantastic. We were greeted upon arrival by the very friendly and professional Maitre D who confirmed our booking and took us straight to our table, handing us over to our waiter. We ordered a sirloin steak each, done rare, and to cut to the chase, it was the best steak either of us had ever had. It was cooked to perfection and was an excellent quality steak. The accompaniments were delicious, and the service was fantastic - to give credit to the waiter, Neal, who was outstanding. Thank you for a great meal, I will be singing the praises and recommending far and wide!

We found Darcy's on Yelp on our first night in Belfast, and it was a wonderful start to our visit…read more A small, charming two story restaurant, they were accommodating and able to seat us without a reservation upstairs. The server was somehow managing all of the tables while still maintaining a sweet attitude. We had a couple well made cocktails to start and their mussels (special). As the first I've had in the area, I'm not sure if this is typical of the area, but they were fantastic. Floating in a creamy sauce that can be sopped up with brown bread. (And Irish butter, which is just so much better. If only there was a way to take home to the States!). We also had the goat cheese croquettes in truffle honey. Delicious and a bit sweet, this would also have been substituted for dessert. My friend and I shared the rack of lamb. The meat was fall off the bone, on mash, gravy, and pea purée, topped with crispy onions. Lovely meal, great introduction to Belfast!

I'm not the biggest fan of buffalo chicken, butttt the chicken was flavorful and the perfect amount of crisp. My sinuses are also super clear now so I've got that going for me, haha. Fries were tasty and service was friendly/pretty quick! Nice place to stop by if you want to grab a bite for pretty reasonable (city) prices!

We did a cursory search and found this place a few blocks from where we are staying…read more We didn't have a reservation and no tables meant we had to come back at 8 when there would be room for us. We opted for the 3 course Christmas menu; I had the fish cake at the waiter's suggestion over the chowder, sea bass, and sticky toffee bread pudding. My honey had the goat cheese fritters, bang bang chicken dinner portion, and the tiramisu. The fish cake seemed more mash than fish but had lovely flavors melding. I loved the tenderness of the sea bass and mixture of flavors with the veg. The sticky toffee bread pudding was a delight, with a brûlée top and complimentary scoop of ice cream and a dab of berry sauce. The tiramisu was equally delicious, with another surprise of berry in the middle. The sound gets as loud as any place we've been and it's difficult to hear across the table, but we otherwise enjoyed our meal here and are grateful to have some yelp references again.

I highly recommend making a reservation for dinner and requesting a table upstairs. Upstairs was much quieter and made for a calm dining experience. The Steak and Guinness Pie was absolutely delicious and easily one of the best meals on the trip. Everything tasted fresh and was beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is full of history and charm, making it much more than just a place to eat. Also, I recommend the apple pie for dessert. The apples are grown in Armagh.

I wonder if the staff have been told to refry food until it falls apart as as that's exactly what I've experienced. A pile of burnt rusty coloured batter lying in the bottom of the box with some rock hard morsel above it. Stone cold burgers and chips that are just vile. Coupled to staff who get the order wrong and give you a tub of lumpy brown gunge that smells like Oxo instead of curry, there's more chance of hell freezing over before I darken their door again.
