Called in on Easter Monday. The older man who was serving totally ignored me for 10 minutes at least while he slowly moved glasses, he looked at me several times but did not smile or acknowledge me at any time! No atmosphere in the bar although everyone (with the exception of the bar staff) was very friendly. We didn't have... More

We were here one Saturday evening after dinner in Wagamamas. We managed to squeeze 13 of us into a corner seating area, opposite the bar. The music was fantastic ... Like an 80s/90s night! It was slightly too loud, which didn't bother me as I was singing along to a lot of it. It made it extremely hard to have... More

Been here twice now on visits to Belfast and this never disappoints with good hearty food - warm and comforting well cooked, presented and good value for the heart of the city - on those places you can have a little lunch or a hearty meal. More

We called into the kitchen bar for lunch during the end of season sales and found the whole experience to be quite charming. We were seated straight away and found it difficult to choose a meal as there were so many lovely options to choose from, ended up closing my eyes and pointing. the staff were very accommodating telling us...

Many of us fondly remember the old Kitchen Bar and the basic, but hearty food! The new, re-located one in the Victoria Centre and now owned by a pub chain, falls well short of providing decent, quality food on a consistent basis. They have no excuse, with a great location, purpose-built premises (albeit in a re-furbished building) and, supposedly, the... More

Judging from the past mixed comments the locals would know best, but since we didn't have the opportunity to dine in the original Kitchen Bar the review is about the reincarnated one. Yes. We were only visitors, but we found the waitstaff to be pleasant and efficient enough. The food, surely, could have been better, but it could have been... More
