Unpretentious local seafood place in Belfast. As local as you can get. I barely see any foreigners except myself. I was recommended to try this place by the locals.. I went there alone and the staff and patrons were quite nice to me. Introducing me some nice small portions to try out. I ordered half a dozen of these local oysters. I heard they came from a place 30 minutes away. Amazing! Really fresh and tasty. Even ate some without the mignonette. Could have ate another 6! I tried the Crabs claws which are difficult to eat but once you get to the meat - Heavenly! Good buttery sauce to soak up the bread. Took me a while to get to the crab Meat. Very meaty and fresh crab! For my 'mains', i did small portion of the mussels. Very good also, fresh and easy to eat. The cream wine, shallot sauce! I could drink them all but it goes well with bread. Cleared up the mussels as you can see from my photos. Ate everything! I did have a local gin to wash these dishes down. Gunpowder Gin with tonic and lime. Have look at my photos. I will come by again for the other dishes in 2 months time! Thank you for the hospitality!

Came here with friends while visiting Belfast and this was the best dinner experience of our trip. All of the staff were great, but a special mention to Louise who was funny, attentive and super friendly. The food was excellent and the atmosphere really relaxed. Not the cheapest restaurant in Belfast but worth every penny. We would definitely return.

Very nice place, good service, but food left a bit to be desired, particularly for the price. Got the mussels, which were pretty good, and the salmon, which needed a bit of a harder crisp on the skin and overall more flavor. Tables are also very close together which makes it a bit uncomfortable

The cuttlefish risotto was very good, the couscous salad was bland and needed much more oil. The shrimp and crab were excellent. The mussels, however, were not good in terms of taste or smell. We asked, and they told us that unfortunately, mussels are like this during this season. Overall, we left satisfied.

You’re greeted by a waft of fresh seafood as soon as you walk in; a positive for me! If you love seafood, this place is definitely for you. Lovely chowder and the burrata with caramelised figs was a great starter, with decent portion sizes all round. They were fairly busy but service was attentive enough. The food really shines, though the place could benefit from some music and a bit more ambience. Overall, a lovely little spot for seafood lovers.

The services were excellent, and all the staff members were kind and attentive. The food was fantastic and fresh, and even the dessert was delicious. However, one thing to note was that they concluded the total price with a service charge for the first contact, which felt a bit like a pressure tactic.
