Not the stand out experience we have had before. No more complimentary bread when waiting on starter. Ridiculously small portions of food. Glass of Stoneleigh wine £15, same wine £8 for a bottle in Tescos so not even a premium Marlborough. No more selection of cheeses from the trolley now it's £14 for for a small selection of cheese on a plate.We have had some lovely dining experiences here but we won't be returning in the near future.

We came here for a celebratory dinner on Sep 6, 2023. This is a stunning restaurant, perfect for a date, special occasion or business meal. It has gorgeous architecture and charm, located in the historic Merchant Hotel. The food was very good and the staff was so friendly. We aren't vegan but they had an entirely separate menu for vegan options which I thought was very accommodating. Thank you to the staff at The Great Room for making our time in Belfast so special!

Beautiful place with excellent customer service. The staff are lovely and very attentive. Food from the a la carte menu was delicious. The decor and architecture is a proper historical trip and makes up for a unique dining atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back.

Lovely meal in an absolutely stunning building/serving room.The staff were extremely attentive and professional.The food was very well cooked and presented too. The fillet of beef and accompaniments in particular were delicious.It's not often the quality of the meal matches the quality of the interior but this place manages to do just that.Knocking of a star for eye wateringly expensive (but pretty good) cocktails. The opulence of the room allows for it.

Lovely meal beautifully presented and reasonably priced. Went on Sunday evening and found service excellent- very efficient and accommodating. Ethan in particular was a star - polite, chatty and so helpful. Nothing was too much bother for him.Opted for 3 course menu: dressed crab for starters, fish of the day(sea trout) for main and profiteroles for dessert. My husband had the same first two courses but went for pistachio and frangipani tart which he found a little dry. The savoury courses had the edge on dessert but in my case - only just!

We went there for our 10th anniversary, I knew the place was adequate for this kind of situation. We have been seated in a very comfy and silent corner, and food, even though it consisted in small portions, was served in the right time to appreciate flavors and the architecture around us. Since we reserved a table for the anniversary occasion, we had a little cake at the end, with the option to take it away. Sadly, this was the less astonishing part or the dinner (just because of the amazingness of the rest of the food) however, much much appreciated. Our dinner was chosen from the plant-based menu, I would say they have enough options to be surprised when the dish comes to you, but I'm sure the regular dishes would be much more well-finished. Obviously, being as 5 stars hotel, the food is gourmet. So don't expect to be full satiated like when you eat by your grandmother!

We had the most wonderful evening at the Merchant hotel recently, dining in The Great Room restaurant. We opted for the taster menu with accompanying wines. Not cheap, but I think a wonderful experience. All dishes we superbly executed and the service excellent. I cannot fault it. Highly recommended.

Probably the top place to eat in Belfast . Ate from the festive menu and it was immaculate, even the wine was served at the perfect temperature. Had the smoked salmon, Iberico pork and the cheese selection.

We ordered afternoon tea and as my wife is strictly coeliac requested the gluten free option.It was excellent both in presentation and taste. A previous gluten free afternoon tea some years ago was average to poor.Thank you to the chef for listening to feedback in the past regarding gluten free food.Service was also excellent with friendly and efficient staff who looked after us very well.This building has been beautifully restored and is a pleasure to visit.It is expensive however definitely worth it for the experience
