A very bright attractive dining space and great for people watching. Visited with friends at lunchtime and initially the service was good and our meals were served in good time. However the experienced staff seemed to disappear and we were left with inexperienced young staff who were very pleasant but had no idea about customer service. After a long wait we had to ask for our dirty plates to be removed. We asked twice for the dessert menu as we hadn't been offered it . We had to ask for coffees after we eventually got the attention of one of the staff. We were definitely not rushed out which was good but having to try to get attention from the staff was a little tiresome and paying the bill was also problematic as the member of staff was not sure how to operate the card machine. The food was good , just a pity about everything else considering the high cost of the meals.

We did not stay at the hotel, we just decided to come in and try the breakfast, then stayed for coffee and a catch up. Very nice, relaxing place, lovely staff. A bit pricey but to be expected from a 5 star hotel. Would still come back here again!

Highly recommend the seven-course tasting menu. The ingredients are exclusively local to Belfast, making it a special taste of Ireland.

Food delicious, service incredible. However, very quiet so very little, if no atmosphere.

I was truly amazed by my recent venture to Seahorse Restaurant to try their tasting menu. Every dish showcased local NI produce with an impeccable level of precision, coupled with remarkable service by Pearce and impeccable wine selections. Despite my parties dietary preferences, the team's efforts were truly commendable. This exceptional encounter has undoubtedly redefined the benchmark for excellence in Belfast's culinary scene. Eagerly anticipating my next visit!

We went for the 8 course tasting menu our 10th wedding anniversary and can't thank the staff enough for give us a 5 star experience! The food was out of this world! Every course was a taste sensation, small amounts but every one was unique with just the right amount for each dish. My favourite was the Pea Panacotta, it was thoroughly gorgeous! Well done Chef and kitchen staff. From the moment we arrived we were looked after, the service was exemplary and our every need anticipated. When my glass emptied, it was refilled immediately yet staff didn't hover making it awkward. Thanks Pearse and all of the staff for making our anniversary a very special night.
Wow fabulous... our first ever tasting menu experience and it certainly didn't disappoint... outstanding!!

Food was just ok. It actually took the deserts to offer one to have a feeling having a decent meal which shouldn't be the case if you don't have a sweet tooth. Portions were very small even for a tasting menu, especially the main which was disappointing. We went due to the hype but would not rush to return. Service and the ambiance were first class and the hotel is stunning.

We had the tasting menu and wine flight. Food was really good - interesting wines - one we want to now find. Waitress was knowledgeable and told us what we needed to know. We had a 8pm booking and before we ended our meal they were setting breakfast for the next day all around us. This is for us a very expensive meal (eye watering for us) spoilt by this lack of courtesy whilst we were eating. 5 star food and service 1 star ambience.

DO NOT BE PUT OFF that this is a hotel restaurant. This is the best tasting menu with wine pairing we have EVER had. The food is amazing with beautiful presentation. The portion sizes are a little larger than other restaurants we have been to and it makes for a really filling meal. The staff are great and there is none of the patronising wine descriptions or patting themselves on the back before you had even tasted anything. They are just wanting everyone to enjoy the food and wine and it comes across really well. The highlight was probably the locally bred beef course. Well done to all on such a great addition to the Belfast restaurant options. You must visit and book for the tasting menu.
