    Dining experience good. We found the music too loud and therefore it was difficult to have a conversation. We were at a table farthest away from the singer but even then it was a bit intrusive.

    You wouldn't find anywhere better in Belfast than here. Great menu, wonderful staff and decadent interior. I think the band should do an hour at 7pm for the first sitting otherwise a perfect evening.

    Lovely experience at berts, chateubriand was beautiful and the wait staff attentive and friendly. Only slight let down was the bed of mushrooms that the steak was served on was cold on arrival but the meat its self was warm and perfectly cooked.

    We are Australians traveling through Europe and the UK. Our dinner at Bert’s Jazz Bar was definitely a highlight. The ambience is exactly what we hoped for and the food divine. I had the French onion soup and the chicken supreme- both were delicious. My husband loved his arancini and gnocchi as well. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. You need to book as it’s very popular - clearly for a reason!

    Short menú. Had main course only, chicken and duck. They were complete meals and did not need extras though we had parsnip and carrot veg as a side. Both meals were delicious. Chicken and duck were moist and tender and accompanying jus and potatoes were delicious. We had 2 glasses of SB which were pleasant. Lovely ambience with nicely spaced tables. There were interesting starters and desserts but we did not have time to indulge as we were going on to a music event at 7 30. Would intend going back.
