Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the chowder, with one comparing it favorably only to soup they'd had in Alaska, alongside oysters diners wished came in fuller dozens rather than halves. Monkfish, scallop risotto, and mussels also draw praise, though one diner found the salmon needed more crisp and flavor for the price, and noted tables sit uncomfortably close together. Several describe the service as warm and highly recommend it.

“Where to start. Just wow, what a meal. I have eaten in a fair few different seafood restaurants and this is up there as the beat I've had. I can't fault it in any way, the service was on point, the food was excellent, the wine spot on and the price point was very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and I will definitely be back next time I'm in Belfast.”

“Such a small but full of flavor and delicious food. Oysters, i wanted to eat a dozen but there is so much to taste, I only had 1/2 dozen. Chowder soup - i had this good only in Alaska. …”

“Stopped in here for a late lunch after recommendation from our walking tour guide. I had monkfish, my partner had the scallop risotto and we shared some parmesan fries. Clean plates all round, was absolutely delicious. Lady serving us was absolutely lovely too. Highly recommend! Oh and nice selection of wine too!”

“My mum has always been a great seafood fan and when a colleague recommended this place to me I immediately highlighted it. We were bothered by the need to book and do timed our exploring to finish at the 1700 hrs opening time. First through the door we were greeted warmly, shown a to a table and drinks order taken. My mum had Molles et Frit and I fish and chips. I have a shell fish allergy so found the menu great as it highlighted dishes I should avoid. The portions were good and the food excellently cooked. Thoroughly recommend”

“Very nice place, good service, but food left a bit to be desired, particularly for the price. Got the mussels, which were pretty good, and the salmon, which needed a bit of a harder crisp on the skin and overall more flavor. Tables are also very close together which makes it a bit uncomfortable”
