   Got stood up on a date, but got a delicious pizza and great staff service for my troubles. Would come back, hopefully under better circumstances. Left a big tip for the staff too

   It was fantastic, from service to food. It's my fourth time being there and nowhere could compare to the food or the service.

   We were in search of a new and exciting place to dine. We found Novelli! By the lock and with good views this restaurant was just what we were looking for. Pear & Irish Cashel Blue salad was superb. My friend loved the chef's soup and bruschetta. Chicken was also very tasty however we weren't over the moon about the aged steak. I don't recommend cocktails. They were very elegantly presented however it was mostly ice and the straws didn't work. Service was good. They were professionals however as most places these days staff shortage was felt. They were doing three people's jobs. I wish the terrace could have been open. It is a real shame not being able to enjoy beautiful Belfast Loch outside although you are so close to it.

   Went on a Wednesday, quiet night, the service was good and they accommodated our special occasion with a complimentary glass of wine and a dessert which was very thoughtful, we went for the 25 pound date night that included three courses from a set menu which isn’t toil limited and a bottle of wine, which is very good value, portion sizes were good as well as the quality of food. The restaurant I believe is connected to the hotel and large groups can arrive at the other side of the restaurant, but they weren’t loud and didn’t effect our experience.

   This was a short hike from our city centre hotel. It is located on the Quayside as part of the Marriott hotel: I'd recommend approaching it by going north along the quayside rather than across town. Right from the beginning, staff were friendly, courteous and efficient. The menu does offer some nuances on old favourites. The food was of high quality, well- presented and cooked to perfection. Wine was reasonably priced for a restaurant. It was not particularly busy when we are there: maybe somewhere to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The ambiance was a bit lacking, though this might improve if you're in a crowd, it was spacious, exceptionally clean, and comfortable.

    I enjoyed the restaurant and the food was very good. Only downsize was the live music, while nice, was very loud, so we had a hard time talking.

    Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and first time visiting Novelli. Greeted with a complimentary glass of Prosecco to celebrate the occasion. Food was beautiful and service was excellent made all the more pleasant by the lovely waitress Hannah who made us feel so welcome. Chef also rounded up a lovely evening with a complimentary 20th anniversary dessert. Great value for money and will definitely be back!!

    Service was friendly but slow. The water jug had black bits in it and was replaced on request. Bruschetta was lacking in garlic and the tomato was bland. Brioche bun was dry but fries and burger good. Disappointing wine list; nothing out of the ordinary to try. The tea (instead of coffee) included on the price fixe menu came well before the ample crème brûlée was served. Service charge of 10% automatically added to bill. Difficult to attract the attention of staff. Great view and reasonably priced but experience could be so much better.

    We dined here a few weeks ago for my boyfriends birthday. First thing to note is the value for this experience is incredible. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco which was the price of the entire experience meaning the food was essentially free! The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and went above and beyond for the birthday. I’d completely recommend. One thing to note was the restaurant was very quiet as it was a hotel restaurant and it took a long time to get the bill but we enjoyed ourselves

    Nice setting along the quay. Waited for a while at the door , eventually acknowledged and said they’d be along shortly. Seated by the window, nice seat. Long wait between being seated and ordering especially the dessert, Food average service poor . They had enough staff but no system by the looks of it, shame as it could have been great

    A great Easter Sunday lunch. Adults delighted with choice at chefs table for starters and desserts. Our 7 year old delighted with kids burger. My main course of trout was particularly good, with a delicious but not effusive sauce and perfectly cooked and seasoned veg. Superb value for money.

    Food was ok, though a little lacking in flavour. Ambience was very quiet for a Saturday evening. Servers very friendly but we were left with empty desert plates until we looked for a waiter ourselves. No top ups offered on drinks either so we got the bill and left. A little overpriced for what it is.

    Excellent experience at Novellis. Delicious food and drinks. Careful attention paid to allergy needs. Definitely can see the French influence which was good. Portions were perfect. Kids loved it too. Also thoroughly enjoyed Chris on guitar, he was excellent. All staff were fantastic and cocktails were great!

    My wife and I have just finished a wonderful dining experience at Novellis. Although I don't usually like modern, slick Restaurants, the ambience at Novellis is easy and pleasing on the eye. The Menu is intruiging, the resulting food is simply excellent, the service is friendly and efficient, what more can you wish for / say! A well deserved 5 stars from me!

    We had a very enjoyable meal. The waiting staff were very pleasant, even though they couldn't find our booking and I had to show them on my phone. We thought it was very good value for money. Quite a large starter and then we both had the burger. I would not normally eat a burger, but decided to give it a go because of where we were. It was huge, well filled and delicious. The creme brulee was yum and a very nice bottle of red wine. All in all, very good value for money.
