Enjoyed a lovely dinner at this laid back restaurant. Interesting choices for all courses and a good selection of wines too.

We booked James St for our 4th anniversary. The food was beautiful! We both had the ham hock to start which was very tasty, though we both agreed that perhaps a little oil or butter would have been good to dip or spread on the bread that came with it. For our main we shared the 1.2kg tomahawk steak, cooked medium rare and to perfection. We ordered two portions of truffle/parmesan fries, garlic butter and a bottle of Bordeaux to accompany the steak and all worked beautifully together. For desert my partner had a pretty large chocolate soufflé made with dark chocolate as it tasted slightly bitter, but with the vanilla ice cream on the side, it was a lovely pairing. Espresso martini's and dark and stormy cocktails followed. Had a lovely evening and the staff were very helpful, we will certainly be back!

Ah goodbye to lockdown and do stay away - enough already.

It’s wonderful to get back to darn good food, great service and a pleasant ambiance, and that’s why we set our sights here.

We were welcomed on arrival and served by the delightful Phillippa. She served us very well indeed. Our next nearest diners were several feet away, most wore face coverings as they moved around the restaurant and there was ample hand sanitizer available.

I had the langoustines to start (£11.5 + 10% service) followed by a main of crab & chilli linguine (£17.65 including 10%). My main wasn’t on the main choices but as a starter that I opted to be main.

My crab main was simply delicious, it was fishy, creamy, with perfectly cooked pasta and a good portion. The chilli was hard to detect but it didn’t bother me at all. I could eat this dish every day.

My starter fish was a bit over cooked, and the langoustines weren’t as plump as I prefer, but I’m not to precious as long as they weren’t cooked to yeuch.

My wife opted for the two course Sunday lunch (£23.65 including 10% for two courses) with a large white wine (£10.5 + 10%) and chose the spatchcock chicken main with Eton mess dessert. I think it had hispi cabbage and roasted carrot, along with tasty mash and a roast style potato.

Although it came with gravy, she instead opted for an excellent pepper sauce. The cabbage was maybe blowtorched or pan fried, either way it looked lovely and enhanced the great flavour. She isn’t that fond of fish and was pleased with her choice. The only downside (not really a downside) was the blunt knife; when serving spatchcock provide a steak knife.

Had I opted for the set lunch here I’d have had the roast beef, but with fish this good there’s about no chance of me choosing beef.

We ended with a cappuccino and a flat white, both were bloody good too. (£3.3 incl 10%). Total £78.

We were lucky enough to get a table during the UK bank holiday weekend and we were very lucky to get such a lovely restaurant. I had heard great things about their steak so we decided to give their 1.2kg Tomahawk Steak a try (we starved ourselves in the afternoon to prepare for the feast and we were glad). It was so delish that we are already planning a trip back to try their Chateubriand too. Very reasonable price for 2 starters, the huge main and 2 desserts with a bottle of wine. Would really recommend this to anyone who visits Belfast and wants a treat! The service was great too, staff were very attentive and we weren't forgotten about throughout the night (like most places that weekend).

Great service, fantastic food and decent selection of wine and beer. Would definitely visit again. The Hannan's salt aged sirloin was fantastic! I had crab on toast with brown crab mayo to start, salt aged sirloin with blue cheese sauce and chips for main, and Baked Alaska for dessert. All were excellent!

Our meals were just fascinating!
The beef was soft and my request for medium cook was just so.

The salads were really delicious.

Great service as well.
