   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.

   Staff were great. Buffet starter and dessert let it down slightly, but overall good and a nice setting.

   We booked as a anniversary dinner we got complementary glasses of Prosecco to start so we were very hopeful for the meal , our order was taken by a lovely young girl she was really chatty and looked after us well. Starters and appetiser were really nice ,Unfortunately for the mains there was some issues the steak was cold and the garlic butter had a layer as it was also cold I completely understand that things like that happen sometimes or mistakes so just stayed quiet. During the middle of the mains the fire alarm went off in the hotel and we had to leave our meal midway through when we came back around 5 minutes or so our meal was stone cold I asked a waiter to heat it up and when it came back it was cold for the second time. Food was re-plated and my old mushrooms were put back on the plate ,I would never expect a new steak or anything but maybe some fresh mushrooms would have been nice by then we were a little bit frustrated. We then got deserts which were really delicious!. Really had high hopes but a little bit disappointed with the food and some of the service . We spent €100 which we found a bit expensive for the dining we got . Maybe it was just a bad day but disappointing

   We were disappointed with our visit to the restaurant. Everything started well but they just could not seem to get the orders right. We had a table of 6. Mains were wrong one steak not cooked as requested. Still waiting for one chips despite asking 3 times. 2 ordered deserts and found them inedible. The team were apologetic but not so sure how sincere it was. They did give us a token discount. We didn’t make a big thing of it. I would add the mains for the most part were ok. But not we certainly would not recommend.

    Disappointing experience. Service was very slow. We were sat for over 20minutes before food order was taken. Restaurant got very busy as there was a concert in the arena, although they should have planned for this. Staff were pleasant, just very busy. Food was poor enough. 10oz pork chop was actually about half the advertised size and very overcooked. Would choose better options elsewhere.

    The host and servers were efficient yet friendly and extremely helpful around gluten free options for me. The date night menu is exceptional value and every one of our 3 courses were delicious. It was a lovely location looking over the water and convenient to the odessey where we were at a show.

    Decided to book due to very limited availability for restaurants in the area on a Monday evening. Actually glad we ended up here as the food and service, and overall value for money was very good. Party of 3 of us, we had variations on the Prix Fixe menus with additional breads/oil/balsamic table sharer (fabulous quality) All of our meals were incredibly well cooked, nicely presented and were good value for money. The Beef Cheek and Guinness pie was lovely (more like a pot pie as it just has a top crust) and the chicken half was beautifully moist with very nice vegetables and a sauce. The restaurant was relatively busy, but had a lovely quiet ambience, the staff were all very good - lovely level of attention, but not overpowering. I would go again as a first choice next time rather than an 'all that was available'

    A surprise visit to Belfast for a concert and we had a pre meal at Novellis. Service was excellent and reasonably priced and quick. We had a slight misunderstanding regarding the price of our meal which should have included free wine but it was amended without any fuss. Certainly value for money and worth the 4 Stars all round

    Overall my friend and I were very disappointed with the experience. We were giving a jug of water and no glasses.. when our food order was taken we weren’t offered a drink. It then took 50mins for the starter to arrive. However they were very nice. Then we came to the main courses. My main order hadn’t even gone through so I had to then have something totally different. To what I wanted. However the food I did eventually get was delicious. We were offered and given complimentary drinks and the staff were very apologetic which did make a difference. But overall it did put a dampener on the experience.

    Food served cold or lukewarm at best. Meals small so additional side orders needed. Chips overcooked and also cold? Charged for coffee, although thought free as part of the 2 courses special deal. So very expensive for non exciting food non exciting staff in a pleasant location.

    First time dining here, food was very very good though less curry spice n fish batter would have been preferred. Staff attended all needs and changed table as low sun was blinding us. Would suggest some clear signs outside on the Quay side to direct customer on foot to entry door is necessary we observed and we also found it tricky to locate door as we walked from waterfront and no sign to point to entrance location. We would return as we enjoyed the atmosphere and food was delicious.

    Very disappointed. Took my work team out for Christmas lunch. Table booked for 115pm. Arrived a little early hopping table you we ready as it was hard to book. Restaurant very quiet, no reason for it the be hard to book. Sat for 35 mins before and order was taken and had to ask for it to be taken. Ordered from the set Christmas menu as we thought that would be quicker. Just over 1 hour before starts arrived. Wasn’t anything difficult that required much cooking. 25 mins before main course arrived. Christmas diner and Cod order. Both dishes ok. Turkey dinner very large compared to Cod. Turkey a little dry but overall good quality ok. Only one drink order taken thorough. People at the table had to go looking for staff to get another drink. Asked for the bill after main course. I had to go looking for someone to let me pay it. Total 2 and 1/4 hours in the restaurant. Very disappointed with the service and speed. I missed a meeting for it as I could not be rude and get up and leave plus I was paying. I can understand it’s harder at this time of year but the place was empty and for £30 for 2 course I expect better. Would not come back.

    Booked for 8pm. Not seated until 8.30pm. The brucsetta was rock hard and tasted of onion. The main was lovely. The dessert was just ok. In total the dinner took 2.5hours to have. It was so slow.
