    Very disappointing. Busy Saturday afternoon, table had been booked well in advance for my daughters birthday. Arrived on time, table not ready and asked to wait at bar. Bar staff rushed off their feet preparing drinks for diners, took 10 mins to get a drinks menu and another 10 mins to order. Finally seated 35 mins later, food order taken 20 mins later and then food arrived after @ 40 mins. Mushroom risotto was dry and tasteless, looked like it had been sat congealing on the plate. Blacked cod was extremely salty, fish and chips were very good though. Deserts probably made the meal but overall would not be rushing back as there as much better eateries in Belfast. Decor is outstanding, staff although attentive and plentiful appeared stressed and a bit miserable. (2nd time visiting but probably won’t be back, 1st time was shortly after opening and had a excellent experience) however this time quality of food was mediocre, overpriced and service inattentive.

    Fabulous food, staff and atmosphere . The only place to dine in Belfast after 9pm, still buzzing at 11pm. From the greeting at the door until you leave, a wonderful experience. Belfast is lucky to have an IVY.

    Score for service based on how we were greeted and told to go to the bar as table was not yet ready. Table booked for 4pm sat at bar until 4:15 and had to ask about our table as other people who arrived after were taken to their tables before us. Feel that if we had not asked we may have been still waiting at the bar. However, table service from Jessica was fantastic and definitely a 5/5. She was very attentive without being intrusive and definitely deserves a 5/5. Would request that she serves my table at any other booking.

    Service very poor. 90 mins in and we still didn't have our main courses. Starter was dreadful - tasteless mound of buffalo mozzarella as they had apparently run out of the trimmings. Live music was so loud it was difficult to hold a conversation. Waiter dropped some food on floor near us. Staff just walked past it for about 25 mins before anyone came to clear up. I won't be returning. I think it is a very overrated venue. There are much better restaurants in Belfast.

    Perfect experience as usual. The only let down is the chips. I expect fresh chips not frozen at all restaurants.
