  “Niall was the best host! He couldn’t have been more attentive and kind. We booked for drinks and after we left and went to dinner we decided to come back because of his hospitality. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks. Paolo made an amazing margarita! We actually tried to get him every time in the queue for the bar 😅 Anto was also an amazing host and some great recommendations for us 🩷 will definitely recommend to a friend xo”

  “A sombre return to a place I haven’t visited for around a year, and unfortunately, it seems things have changed considerably. The biggest disappointment was the staff. There was very little sense of engagement or hospitality, with staff appearing far more interested in discussing when they could take their next break than in looking after the customers in front of them. It created an atmosphere that felt strangely detached from what should be a welcoming bar. The real killer, however, was the menu. Please bring back Punch and Rudy! That drink was genuinely memorable and was one of the highlights of my previous visits. I also have to mention the two gentlemen who were working during my previous visits. Sadly, I can’t remember their names, and I don’t know whether they have left or whether it simply wasn’t their night, but they made a huge difference to the experience. They had personality, enthusiasm and actually made the bar feel like somewhere you wanted to spend time. It’s disappointing to return after a year and feel that something has been lost. The drinks can be good, but hospitality is what makes people come back. Bring back Punch and Rudy, and bring back some of that old atmosphere too.”

  “Did the sparkling afternoon tea experience with a group of 5. Everything was okay, the food was incredible and they did put a veggie option on for us last minute (it was only a small veggie sausage roll though) but the front of house service was quite slow/non existent. No one came to ask for any more drinks or to check on the table etc for at least an hour and an half and next booking cards were thrown onto the tables as soon as we sat down. I found it all very over priced in all for the service you get and the tiny glass of Prosecco you get with the afternoon tea menu. Would recommend getting the traditional afternoon tea and adding a bottle of Prosecco. Would recommend to go due to the food being so good but be prepared to chase your drinks and bill. One person needs to manage and direct all staff to ensure everyone is enjoying the experience and make service more smooth, it was just a bit chaotic.”

  “Went this afternoon about 5pm and the waitress kindly got us a table for drinks. Lots of reserved tables - but no-one actually at them. Not sure if all the ‘reservations’ are real - or just for effect. Atmosphere and decor is amazing - very warm and welcoming. However service was appalling. Lovely staff - but took 45 mins to get a drink for a table of 4. And then another 10mins to get the bill as we weren’t going to stay to wait for so long to get another drink. Maybe a place for some…but none of us will be back.”

  “Absolutely amazing cocktails, would recommend the "Southern Winds" cocktail a million times. Just a lovely vibe, great music and really comfortable seats. A great bar for a drink 🍸”

  “We had booked to celebrate a 30th birthday for a family dinner and drinks on a weekday evening. We arrived on time to be left standing waiting to even be acknowledged at the front of house by any staff for 10 minutes before we actually walked through to ask at the bar if anyone was coming. We were told by the barman that he would go find somebody with no apology for the delay or even a welcoming smile. We then watched as multiple staff walked past us and went on to give somebody a tour of the venue for a booking they had in the future. Finally around 20 minutes after standing waiting we were asked if we had a booking. We were then taken to a table that consisted of two separate tables where as a group of 5 there was to be 3 on one side and 2 the other. The middle person of the three was sat in the middle of two tables which were different levels. As we were due to eat we asked if there was any other table available as this persons plate would have not been able to be placed. The staff member then told us we should follow her to another table so we did. We arrived to a table full of old dishes and leftovers. We were then left to stand waiting and watching whilst they cleared the table again with no apology or even communication. It was at this point we decided to let the staff member know we would not be staying to dine as this experience had completely dampened the celebration spirits and we did not feel welcomed or wanted as guests. We walked 5 minutes to Zen on Adelaide street and were welcomed immediately with the most friendly staff, great food and thankfully the evening was able to saved. We cannot comment on the food as we did not stay but the service and atmosphere were unpleasant. We will not be visiting Margot again.”

  “The place looks amazing. So beautiful, but sadly, the service was horrible. You have to pay 12/13£ and go to the bar and get your own drinks. Sometimes waiting 10/15 minutes and change within the 2 bars until you finally get to order. No napkins or water. I would be ok if cocktails would be 8/10£ because I wouldn’t mind all the trouble, but paying so much for it I would expect a service as boujee as the place looks. Would not come back. My cocktail was not good and I fee robed.”

  “Lovely place! Finally found the time to come along on a Sunday evening - the last night of our stay for a relaxed few drinks as we were heading home the following morning. We were a walk in and we're not greeted, so walked through the various little rooms - all different decor until we found a table. The place was surprisingly busy for early on a Sunday evening, but not too loud or obnoxious. Bar staff were knowledgeable and happy to be guided (I wanted a Vesper Martini off menu, which the younger bar tender wasn't too sure about but happy to ask a senior mixologist make it for me) I also had a glass of champagne and my friend had the four taster wines from the wine flight on offer. Lovely place, not sure how I'd like it on a busy Saturday evening in comparison as not a fan of loud or busy environments, but would definitely visit if in Belfast again. Only marking down slightly as it is very expensive - a little more than you'd expect to pay in a speakeasy style bar overall.”

  “Arrived for our 6.30pm reservation on time. Was greeted nicely by staff and food was tasty. However everything felt rushed. Each course came out super quick. Our mains were brought to our table before our starter plates had even been lifted. Then our desserts were lifted before I’d even finished and as the waitress lifted our desserts we were told that we had to free the table in 5 minutes. Bear in mind we’d only been there 1 hour and had not even finished our drinks yet. I was then told by a manager that there had been an overlap in bookings and that they would offer us another table somewhere else in the restaurant. However this shouldn’t be our problem. In the end the manager did discount our drinks and part of our meal which we appreciated. I had dressed up for the occasion and wanted to enjoy myself however we left feeling rushed and a bit embarrassed over the whole situation. Won’t be returning anytime soon unfortunately.”

  “Table reserved online. Turned up and shown to table. Felt a bit awkward with the clientele in the bar. Not our usual kind of spot but dervla or server was lovely n sorted us out for food and drinks for the night and made us feel at ease. Food was exquisite. Reasonably priced for city centre. Loved the opulent decor and the leopard print. Hopefully we will be back again as the food n service was so good. Dervla is a credit to Margot”
