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!

The price was quite reasonable particularly with the sizes of the offerings and all comments positive on the meal.

During the time I visited, it wasn't very packed so I was seated swiftly. The kind staff accommodated my request to get a corner table. The vibe can be describe is a classic. I really enjoyed all the dark stained wood furniture - gave it such an "old Irish saloon" vibe...maybe because it is haha. I did not have much time to spend in Belfast, so I tried to taste as many traditional dishes as possible with being just one person. With that being said, I ordered a few of their notable dishes - Crown Bar Irish Stew, Steak & Ale Pie, and to finish it off, the Sticky Toffee Pudding served with both the custard and ice cream (really thankful the server offered to give me two toppings, and they were both delicious). All the dishes were great, and are definitely hearty. The stew as well as the pie filling had a rich roux - nice, thick and flavorful. I will say, the pie pastry was not as flaky as I would have liked it; kind of too thick. Overall, it was a great taste of Ireland

The food was mid and the atmosphere was less than desirable. I hate to give poor reviews and yet it's necessary for this one. We actually left disappointed overall. The fish and chips were just ok as was the sausage and mash. The frickles were unimpressive and most of our group didn't care for the hummus (plus the bread was just 2 thin tortillas that had been toasted and cut). The chili chicken was decent but nothing to rave about and the calamari type dish was just bland. Maybe we caught them on an off night but if that's the case I would think the servers could step up and at least be friendly. Most staffers looked the other way or were just not accommodating.

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.

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

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.

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. This place is classic, old world and charming…read more The staff was fine, commensurate with what I have come to expect in the UK and EU, where lack of a tipping culture often results in what I find to be "lackluster" attentiveness. Servers are paid the same regardless of my dining experience. While the merits of the US tipping culture is the subject of much debate. What is undebatable is that a servers attention to my dining experience is certainly amplified when their compensation depends on it. Nonetheless the experience was a blast and the food was awesome. The stand out item was the seafood chowder. I will be back later this year for another bowl for certain.

We had really great veg topped pizzas minus the cheese. So it is possible to get a delicious vegan pizza here, which with a bit of olive oil added was scrumptious.

Bella Vita is both a small, beautifully decorated, BYOB restaurant and also a takeaway. There are also a few outside tables and staff are exceptionally helpful.
