Thanks Billy My wife and I had an overnight stay in the AC Marriott on Friday 25th January and we were very impressed with the hotel. The weather wasn’t great but we found the welcome warm and... Read more friendly, we had a great room with smashing view over the Lagan and entire Titanic Quarter. The staff were great and service in the bar was exceptional. There is however one individual I’d like to single out for added praise and that was our table server at breakfast on Saturday morning. Billy was just great and nothing was too much for him. He was chatty, friendly and witty, all at the right level. All in all a credit to your hotel. Thank him again for us.

Keep the high standards up.

Kind regards

  A Waterfront Wow! Sun was shining, Belfast was buzzing for the "Big Weekend" so we decided to head down to the shorefront where it was "all happening". Very often in restaurants - there is a trade off -... Read more you either get the view you want or the food you want, but Novelli was to blow this theory out the water! Big warm welcome smiles on arrival - smiling with the eyes as well as the mouths. We were shown to our table overlooking the river, where we watched the world go by, people walking dogs, roller skating or pushing prams. Contemporary, light, airy surroundings added to the evening.

The staff were attentive without pestering and nothing was too much trouble. They were knowledgeable about the menu, eager to talk about the ingredients and confident in their recommendations. Wines were good also.

We had an aperatif, three courses with different wines, followed by coffee. The menu was to die for - a hybrid of traditional firm favourites with a twist (French Onion soup, with fennel, served with one giant crouton as a lid over the bowl). For my main course I had Lamb Tagine with couscous - so good! The desserts were works of art - if you could hold off from eating them for long enough to look at them! We did not feel rushed or pressured to order at any stage. It was a magical evening. Read less

Stefania was our waitress and she was really excellent.

The food was fabulous - first courses included French onion soup, corn dale chorizo, and mushroom ravioli.

Our mains included chicken (signature dish), tuna nicoise, and flat iron steaks (no extra supplements).

Desserts included tarte tatin (signature dish), limoncello posset - all excellent.

The house wines were blends and really good.

Beautiful views of Belfast at night from the glass walls.

Highly recommended - we will be back again. Read less
