Sunday Dining I had read reviews in the media and decided to book a table for Sunday afternoon dinner. Myself and partner were warmly greeted and shown to our table which had a river view which we... Read more found relaxing. The menu was varied and it took a while to decide what we were going to eat. Food was delicious and well presented! Full marks to chefs and kitchen staff! We were not disappointed. Waiting staff were attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be back! Read less

  Great food and super friendly service! For a hotel-restaurant the atmosphere is very nice. And combined with the food served and service delivered, I only can score this restaurant with the maximum 5 points!

  Dinner cooked by Jean-Christophe Novelli I ate at this restaurant on the opening night with Jean-Christophe Novelli in attendance. The goat's cheese with Beetroot jelly encased, tomato and black olive was one of the highlights of my meal, until the... Read more main course arrived that is! An 8oz fillet steak which was cooked to perfection (that would be blue for me!)

A simply lovely restaurant, reasonably priced located in an area of Belfast currently under regeneration. This will be one to keep an eye on!

Be sure to get a table near the window during the lighter nights, the views across the River Lagan were one of the highlights of this experience, with a sneaky view of Titanic Belfast from 'the other side' of the river reflecting the setting sun, it was lovely to see Belfast from a different angle and enjoy this lovely culinary experience.

  Great Bar and Restaurant Had a lovely dinner and some beautiful cocktails here. Staff are so efficient and friendly. Food is gorgeous, Simon in the bar was a delight, and Marie in the restaurant is such a sweet girl.

  Superb combinations in the heart of Belfast This was our first visit to Novelli at the new AC Marriott hotel in Belfast and it won't be our last. Hotel restaurants can be hit or miss; Novelli has created a hit with superb... Read more flavours in contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. I'm sure the man himself isn't in the kitchen that often (although he had been there the week before our visit according to our helpful and polite waitress Stefania) but the chefs cooked each dish to perfection. We ate from the Prix Fixe menu ( two courses for £18 is good value, £24 for three) and generally followed the signature dishes. I did depart from the recommended onion soup to try the gnocchi and this was delicious- clearly made from scatch and stuffed with spinach, chilli and crab. The free-range organic ( I asked) chicken from the rotisserie is perfect; it would have benefitted from some sauce on the side but I can live with that. My colleague raved about the monkfish. The desserts were the highlight; Tarte tatin came straight from the Loire Valley and Tart au Citron was set off perfectly with raspberry sorbet. Wine was well priced for this standard of food in Belfast and coffee was hot and strong. The fantastic weather made the room look fabulous and added to a very enjoyable occasion. My only concern is that the place should have been packed; it was about two-thirds full on a Thursday night but quality food at this price is a rare find. Read less
