Nice place but might be a bit busy, so it's better to book a table. Generous portions and tasty food, but when I saw the "Irish" tag, I was expecting a better selection of traditional dishes.

Nothing was awful but at the same time there was nothing to write home about. Food, the squid starter was as expected, the Firecracker chicken main consistency reminded me a bit too much of MSG, however, noodles were tasty. Didnt have a dessert. Service, the servers were friendly, however, we were a table of 14 and every time we order a round of drinks, my drink was forgotten and needed reorder, 3 times. Atmosphere, there werent many in so the atmosphere was made by the party I was with.

Six of us arrived around 1pm for lunch on a Friday without a booking and were welcomed in to great seats and very well looked after throughout. Staff apologised for the slowness of their service but we assured them that they were in no way slow! We were so well catered for by very accommodating and helpful staff. The food was top class -; extensive menu and specials, and a great selection of small plates. Would definitely return!

I walked in at lunchtime to meet some friends who had booked the table, but I wasn't sure if I was in the right place or if it was even open. There was no-one at the front and I couldn't see anyone further inside. It was all very dark and I got the feeling that they must still be setting up to open later. But I headed on and saw a few people scattered around. It's quite large so it probably felt more empty because of that. I did find my friends, and had a lovely meal. Service was great, friendly. But there was a massive lack of atmosphere. I was the only male in the place and the youngest, and I'm 56! So I would struggle to recommend it. It might seem completely different in the evening with lots of tables occupied. But at lunchtime, it was kind of eerie

Underwhelming and tasteless. When your online menu states sirloin steak as being part of the meal deal but the actual menu has some flat iron ‘asteak’ (where that is supposed to be) is disappointing. My food was bland and tasteless, definitely going to stiick with Robinsons for a Pre theatre meal in the future.

Went for pre theatre dinner with a friend. Hadn’t been in this venue for quite a number of years, was a time I would have been in reasonably regularly when working close by. It is still the same friendly restaurant it was back then, good atmosphere, nice seating areas. We both had really excellent food, starter and mains, plus a lovely bottle of wine. Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hrs of eating, drinking and catching up 🥂. Given the crowd that were in, I would expect quite a few were also having pre theatre dinner before heading across the road to the Grand Opera House 🎭

Steak arrived with only chips. No garnish/mixed leaf salad/tomato/mushroom nothing. Never seen that before. Think this is ‘good food’ for people who don’t know what good food is. Strange atmosphere amongst the staff who were relatively unfriendly. Bill slammed on to table at 9.35pm on Sat night when trying to finish £9.95 gin. Are all restaurants in Belfast this terrible :D

First time visiting this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Food was delicious. Everyone in our party of four loved their food. I had a Bramble, and it was lovely, not too sweet, as I've found can be the case in other places. Service was very good, staff were pleasant and attentive. The place itself looks modern and clean. Parking nearby on the street can be tricky, we found it difficult to get a spot and ended up having a bit of a walk. We will be back to try some of the other dishes.

Loved the tapas type menu. Slightly pricer than some restaurants in the area. Only downside was the unfortunate nachos, which seems to be an Irish way of serving/making them rather than just bad cooking. Liquid cheese and nothing cooked. Different. Otherwise we enjoyed ourselves.

Was here tonight and it was absolutely beautiful. I have been to a few restaurants recently and the food here was perfect, the service was excellent, you couldn't fault one thing. With literally 2 members of staff servicing a nearly full restaurant was expert skills. They were very friendly, happy and got our meals perfect, I asked for no tomato on my burger, my friend asked for everything on his and my other friend asked for specific things to be removed from his and they got it spot on, most other places usually get something wrong. The starters were great and you got loads, I got the halloumi sticks with honey and chilli sauce and there were quite a few, I also got a small plate of hot wings because I can't pass them, there was about 7/8 on the plate. Both tasted fantastic and cooked to perfection. Dessert was the pecan pie, can't beat a good pecan pie, very tasty. And it was 3 courses for £24.95 bargain. Highly recommend Acton's and will definitely be returning and telling more people about it.

I was in here for a pre-theatre dinner. The pre theatre munu was smallish but covered all the bases. £19.95 for two courses £24.95 for three. We arrived around 5 and things were quite speedy. My carrot and coriander soup was very good with a nice warm base note of pepper. My burger was good too. Thick patties that felt home made rather than bought in. It came with lettuce, pickle and relish already in there which was fine by me. Fries were good too, not too skinny for my liking. I maybe didn't read the menu well enough or perhaps more accurately I have limited experience with vegan fare but I chose the vegan option for desert, which was a raspberry frangipane tart with vegan ice cream. The tart was good enough. Nice light frangipan and raspberry on a too chewy pastry base. It came with vegan ice cream which I haven't had before and I wouldn't be having it again! No taste of cream (obviously) but a slightly oily texture which was an unpleasant surprise to this first timer with vegan ice cream. Some drinks and a compulsory service charge for our table of 8 took us to around £34.50 each. We were finished, paid up and had plenty of time to walk round to the opera house and be in nice and early for our 7.30 start.

There was a great section to choose from and everything was to a high standard. The food was all delicious and to a very high standard. We also tried the majority of the cocktail menu which were all excellent. The mango daquari was particularly good. Staff were also brilliant, very friendly and attentive.
