Stylish, delicious, and welcoming Called down with the family on Sunday evening as part of my Father’s Day treat and I have to say what a treat it was! Right from the get go we were warmly welcomed and... Read more the staff could not of been more accommodating, and we were made to feel at ease straight away. As the manager took the time to talk us through the wine list and guided us to the perfect bottle to accompany some best dishes I have had the pleasure of enjoying in a long time. The sea bass and tarte tatan are absolutely outstanding and the depth and balance of flavour showed a real attention to detail. It would be easy for a place such as this in such opulent surrounds to slip into the realms of pretentiousness, but the professionalism and enthusiasm of the staff and their ablity to engage with the customer without ever condescending is a breath of fresh air and a testament to their training, keep up the good work, we will definitely be back Read less

  Take 2 My first visit was disappointing. So decided to give it another try. I put my first visit down to teething issues.

Glad I did. Service was excellent and really appreciated the interaction and conversation from the... Read more restaurant manager Michael.

The restaurant had really upped its game. We had started with scallops and squid. Cooked to perfection. I followed with a fillet. For me I prefer my meat rare but it can be hit and miss. So even thinking of having a blue steak can be an ordeal. However the staff assured me a blue steak was no trouble. They were right. It came out perfectly cooked for me. I didn’t even need to season it.

Please do try Novelli’s and if you went there initially when they opened, allow for newly opened teething problems. They have really got their game on.

The ambiance is relaxed in a warm modern contemporary setting. The hotel sits right beside the Lagan and has a waterside Terrace. Really great for sitting at for drinks or coffee and having some lunch. Read less

  Great meal and view at Novelli Called in on spec to check this new hotel's restaurant out. Fantastic setting at Lagan riverside with views of Titanic Centre and Odyssey. We were shown a great seat and staff were very attentive and... Read more professional. I ordered chicken from rotisserie and my wife chose something from the vegan menu. Yes, they have a vegan menu which is a rarity around here.

Atmosphere was very pleasant and laid back but there was plenty going on. Many restaurants these days are just too loud, cramped and busy for normal conversation, so was pleasant change not to have to shout

Meal was great and not that expensive. Will definitely return. Read less
