“Walked past for years, finally went in with my Husband and Mother in law for lunch last week. Food was absolutely delicious and the staff were outstanding. Will definitely be back and would recommend to all!”

“We have now officially adopted The Poet as our wee “local”. We’ve called in a few times over this past year for a quick pint after a long day out with the kids and ordered a few starters & kids meals. Our most recent visits we’ve sat for longer and ordered 3 courses. Each time we’ve visited we haven’t had a reservation but the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or welcoming especially catering for three kids. It honestly has a great wee cozy vibe, it’s just nice to sit with a pint at the window and watch the world go by. The food is always incredible especially their wings, prawns pil pil and prawn cocktail (Sunday only for PC) we’ve had a variety from the menu and it has always been outstanding quality and generous portions. We’ve enjoyed their Roasts, fish and chips, pork belly and their chicken stack etc. Also, a variety of kids meals which went down a treat especially the kids pasta dish with garlic bread. Oh and that sticky toffee pudding is to die for, it’s amazing! Such an underrated wee place. Good atmosphere, great prices and superb food. Thoroughly enjoyed our random wee visits. Some of the nicest and friendliest staff. I cannot recommend The Poet enough.”

“Couldnt fault it...really great food atmosphere and staff really friendly ...went with my son got two courses each a wee pint each and all for under 20 quid couldnt beat it”

“We had a great Christmas dinner here. The meals were delicious, the service was pleasant and helpful and the atmosphere was lovely but comfortable”

“Great cocktails good priced 2 for £13, was unreal and a great price hard to get nice cocktails and food theses days that are reasonably priced will defo be back”

“Amazing food and staff very friendly.”

“What a really good place for a bite to eat. Lovely seating, excellent food and the staff were very good too. I had the lamb stew and it was excellent. Portions are big Highly recommend”

“I don’t come to Northern Ireland very often but when I do I always park in Lisburn. My colleagues recommended The Cardan and I must say I have not been disappointed. The food is absolutely amazing, well cooked and excellently presented. From the moment I walk in I am made to feel welcome. Something you don’t get from a lot of places. If I was to recommend anywhere to eat and drink it would be The Cardan. Fantastic place to meet, eat and drink. Thank you to all the management and staff for making this an ideal venue.”

“Absolutely some of the best food we've ever eaten! My boyfriend and I came for a meal this evening and were greeted with a lovely warm welcome from Ethan who served both our drinks and food. The service was 10/10, Ethan was so polite and friendly. We had squid and mac and cheese to start (both absolutely beautiful), followed by chicken and chorizo cajun pasta, and a ribeye steak. The steak was cooked to PERFECTION, it literally melted in your mouth, the best steak we've ever had for sure! We'll 100% be back if we're ever in Bangor again, 10/10 for everything, no faults whatsoever! Xx”

“Lovely little bar in Bangor. Parking is a tad difficult but a side street does the job and no need for a parking ticket either. Food was excellent and was brought out quickly. Service initially was a tad slow but not enough to hinder the experience. The area we were in for food was quiet enough but definitely seemed like a lot of life in the next room (maybe the main bar area?) Anywho, would highly recommend for a feed. We got 2 courses for £19 each on a Saturday night and was very happy with that. Fish was absolutely fantastic and a great homemade curry to go along with it. Salt and chilli beef to start was great too, not chewy at all and full of flavour. Would highly recommend”

“Clean tidy great food excellent staff and service.”

“Good food. Friendly staff.Highly recommend.”

“Really nice staff. Good food. Nice place to meet.”

“Absolutely outstanding burgers. Cajun fries also great. Can't wait to try again. Service was first class with speedy delivery. Best of luck in the new venture. Great to see something different and tasty in north Belfast.”

“Went to this place to play pool with my niece's and had a good night”

“Was over in Belfast for a concert, and popped in here for tea. Expected nice pub grub...but it was far better than that. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the food utterly delicious, the best food I've eaten in the four days we had been away by far. Would recommend, and next time we are over here, will definitely call again...cheers!”

“Food was amazing, great atmosphere, exceptional service by Catherine. Highly recommend! Thank you.”

“Lovely food and drink, inside our outside dining near the hustle and bustle of Victoria square”

“Braised beef cheek was probably the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time, meal was faultless, staff lovely. Guinness excellent (not a short pour, I took a sip!) I went late on a Sunday night so it was quieter. Absolute gem of a place, will be back.”

“What a fantastic place to eat, food is stunning and the potions are very generous. Everything seems to be cooked to order and arrives piping hot. Staff are absolutely lovely and attentive. Prices are not cheap but it's definitely value for money for the quality of food being served. Well worth a visit anytime you're hungry and you're in the area, you won't be disappointed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Had some really nice food here with my wife @ very good value.Great service and atmosphere. We will definitely return”

“I went to riverside bar and restaurant because I am a guest at the hotel, they were busy around 5:30pm so a lovely man asked me if I wouldn’t mind to come at 7:30, I said it was not an issue! 7:26pm I got down for dinner and was promptly seated at 7:28pm, was asked if I wanted water for the table and I said yes, restaurant was a bit more quiet than earlier, I had some colleagues join my table. Two tables next to mine also got seated. Time passes and the waiter never came, it’s around 7:40pm and he goes to the other two tables and asks for their drinks and if they were ready to order, it’s now 7:51pm and still no attention to our table, we starting discussing about just leaving and going somewhere else, he comes 1/2min later and asks if we are ready? We said yes, we ordered mains and also starters afraid he would never come back to ask for our mains. Wine glasses were never removed from the table (as a waiter the wine glasses tells you that the guests are still waiting on the drinks order, unless it’s different over here) one of the glasses had lipstick on the rim and mine had a chip on it. Food came we were very pleased with the flavors, food was really good, I would totally recommend this restaurant for the food, the service could be better but other than that we really liked it.”

“Good traditional UK food, full bar, many ciders on tap and bottled. Nice staff”

“The fry was good & big portion not greasy like most places we arrived to another customer complaining about the coffee i ordered a latte with hazelnut syrup and it was amazing we tried 3 different desserts a big sticky toffee pudding fan myself but here i wouldnt say it was sticky toffee pudding it was a dallop of toffee on side of sponge cake wasnt great the waffle we ordered just tasted like the average one that gets prepacked the chocolate brownie dessert was amazing though and honeycomb ice-cream with it was gorgeous would defo reccomend service was 100% girl who served us was the same one who got an earful from customer before us and she was amazing with us price was very reasonable would come again”

“Great food and friendly staff. Portions are quite generous. Gluten free options available. The empire stack was delicious, especially the tobacco onions (gluten free) on the top.”

“While staying at the Culloden we sat up in the drawing rooms several nights for drinks and fireside chats. Beautiful rooms, all the staff were helpful and quick. I guess I didn't take as many pictures as I thought but we really liked the different gins from Jawbox.”

“Very good vibe inside... Definitely be back again...”
