Food was lovely. It was served on time and beautifully cooked. Wouldn't go back unfortunately on the basis that one member of staff was very rude. He had very little time for us upon entering 'folks can you hurry up and get that door closed we are going to get complaints' is the first thing I heard out of his mouth.He then forgot a drink and when asked about it he made a sarcastic remark as if it was our fault. Really disappointing as the food was excellent!

I visited Darcy's last night & I was hugely impressed. From the professionalism & courtesy of Michael on the phone, I knew that I was making a good choice. The pate was small but delicious. The steak was beautifully cooked, I broke my right wrist almost 3 weeks & didn't have to ask for help cutting the steak, so tender that it was . Excellent value 2 course meal for £20 with a £4.supplement for the steak. If I manage to visit Belfast again, I will be back Ssu

My husband and I had our first visit to Darcy's after a recommendation from friends. The Christmas menu offered variety but small enough to reassure that these guys put some thought into their food.Cocktails were perfect, the food is like traditional home cooked food but cooked by professionals. We had curried parsnip soup, pate and breads, turkey & ham, chicken supreme, pavlova and steamed ginger pudding. It's not French fine dining but it is heart-warming, Irish comforting food that showcases local produce. The service was also professional. Lovely atmosphere too. We will certainly be back!

Visited here twice now, both times the food and service have been fantastic. Great variety on the menu and unlike most restaurants that offer such a range they don't fall on the quality whatsoever. Even managed to impress Dad with the mussels who's had them numerous times all across France. Highly recommended.

Visited Darcy’s as it was one of the blogs while I was searching for a place to have dinner in Belfast city centre. Went there for dinner and had seafood chowder- the food is great and the atmosphere is good. I haven’t tried the other menu but it looks good. It can be busy in the evenings.

We went to Darcys on Thursday night as wee treat for myself and my daughter and I can honestly say it was just beautiful from start to finish,we both had the most devine mussels to start,,sauce and bread to soak the sauce up with,it was great,have to be nicest mussels in Belfast !then I had gammon ham and spuds with veg and a parsley sauce to die for,my daughter had the scampi and we sort of done half and half,both delicious followed off by ice cream,couldn’t have ate anything else,portions massive and the staff were brilliant,couldn’t do enough for you,a gem of a place in Belfast City Centre but without city centre prices,can’t wait to get back ,10/10,don’t miss out

There is an amble selection of food and boy do they know how to deliver. All our dishes were sublime. No visit to Belfast could be complete without dropping into Darcy's.

We had the misfortune of picking Darcy’s to dine in on a recent trip to Belfast. We were a party of five and from the start to the end of our time the staff were rude and made some strange comments and were very unaccommodating. What appeared to be the manager or even owner mimicked one of our party in a very sarcastic manner when walking away from the table. We made a request to have our drinks served with our main meal and this was too much trouble for the waiter who said that was not possible. The food was ok, what you would expect for the price and that is fine but the customer service is a major issue. Upon trying to pay I was shooed back to the table in a manner that I can only describe as abrupt and lacking patience. Then as I left the gent who appeared to be the drinks waiter made a most strange comment, that if I think I heard correct is nothing short of scandalous, I hope I misheard.

Just returned from a super meal at Darcy’s! Staff were really friendly and the restaurant as a whole is so welcoming to families; it was particularly nice to witness staff going to extra mile to please little ones.Our food was very good overall but the star of the meal was definitely the stunningly good seafood chowder - the starter portion alone is pretty much a meal In itself and I loved savouring every mouthful, stuffed full of mixed seafood, potatoes and peas.

We visited Friday evening with family. We have frequented Darcy's many times and in fact recommend it when anyone is looking for good homemade food. Once again the food was delicious but the service this visit was much different to what we have experienced before. As a table of 7, we made very few requests but what appeared to be simple requests were met with a lack of manners and rudeness. For example, a question regarding ordering a drink that we had previously been served a couple of months ago was responded to with a smirk and a "we've never served anything like that." We didn't mind that the drinks menu might have changed but it didn't require the rudeness received. The other waiter who took the food order and brought out the food was lovely but the first waiter encountered left a slightly bitter taste. The food is always good but I would definitely reconsider recommending Darcy's to others.

A friend and I met here for lunch. It was a mixed experience. The restaurant has a great ambience, and the waitstaff were friendly and welcoming. My friend's fish and chips were good, but my seafood chowder was disappointing.Problem was - I could smell the chowder from the other end of the bar as our food came out. Some of the fish wasn't fresh.

It was a cold and rainy night but the welcome and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with tracks from Tom Waits's Heart of Saturday Night playing in the background.

My son and his beautiful girlfriend myself and my husband decided on this restaurant.We arrived bit early the staff is lovely dead friendly and showed us to our table.Lovely atmosphere decor felt like I was in my granny's took me way back but in a nice way. ❤️ Music good service really good vegan vegetarian food was amazing so lovely to see no pasta, burger or veg curry on the menu so sick of that lol no serious tho.There was only 3 thing as a main to choose from maybe they could extend that some day.They did ask did we want dessert I said yes please there again is vegan option witch I was excited for but we did sit waiting and by the time they came to ask for the order I decided not to bother.Go give it a try food was lovely dare say they were really busy tho..... P.s I was going to get death by chocolate vegan..... Or bozzy ice-cream vegan option... Sure saved me the calories

A family of three, we had dinner at Darcy's and loved it. The menu was all home made, top quality, locally produced food, including excellent vegan and vegetarian options, so while I could opt for the excellent lamb shank, my partner and daughter were more than pleased with their vegan sausage and vegetable wellington choices. All first rate. The staff were brilliant - friendly, helpful and working like demons as they looked after you. Great on drink suggestions too. The restaurant had an eclectic 60s/70s music playlist too, from Bob Dylan to Led Zeppelin, from The Beatles to Otis Redding - a perfect accompaniment to a most enjoyable evening (and no, it didn't drown out conversation!). If we'd had more nights in Belfast we'd definitely have gone back again.

Well we had our eagle booked for 8pm, we didn’t get seated until half 8. We were also cramped into a corner surrounded by students who were so loud, the waiter couldn’t hear me speak I had to repeat my order 3 times, then the food came out it looks lovely, but the quality of the dish was pretty poor. For the price of the one plate of food i really expected more. The lamb was very fatty, I think I had more fat and gristle than I did meat, the potatoes tasted like instant mash, tbh the veg could have been from a tin at that point, My local does a better lamb shank meal for half the price. Not to mention I had People knocking into my chair the whole time I tried to eat what I could because it’s 9pm and I’d had nothing to eat. The staff as loud and quite annoying as they were were friendly.

We liked we were told what was not available so often you peruse a menu pick and look forward to only to be told no can do.This said to us all produce sourced well and once gone they don't get sub standard. I went for half chicken sublime my husband had a pie He loved it.So to sum up eat here Thanks to staff who made our visit a delight Xx

Booked a table here on a Monday night in our staycation in Northern Ireland after seeing very positive reviews. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warm, friendly welcome. The downstairs restaurant is small and cosy - but being a Monday it was not busy and we had a nice table. The menu was full of hearty Irish dishes and we ordered drinks and our food in a comfortable time. When the food came it was plentiful and delicious - clearly freshly cooked and very large portions. Reasonably priced and with lovely discreet but friendly service, we loved this place and would totally recommend and return. I just hope it manages to retain its charm as it becomes the inevitable success it will become.

Visited Darcy's with my husband for lunch and was not disappointed. We rang ahead as we were running a bit late and was no problem. The staff were so nice and really good craic. Nothing was too much hassle. I had one of the nicest strawberry daiquiri and the food was amazing!!! Can't wait to go back and visit again thanks very much.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Attentive, friendly staff, ecclectic and relaxing interior design. The food was delicious, fresh local ingredients. The sauce on the mussels was divine. Excellent value, unpretentious, loved it!

Great food, service and value. If you’re looking for a dinner out as a family or couple this is the place. Absolutely perfect. My brother didn’t stop complimenting his courses all night which says a lot

I’ve been going to Darcy’s for years and it’s consistently great. Have introduced lots of family and friends to it as the best place to eat in Belfast. Amazing customer service, food is to die for and the cocktails are delicious! Can’t wait to return now that lockdown has lifted.

This is our second time coming here and it never disappoints. Amazing food and amazing service. Particularly Johnny the waiter, he is the best. Had the steak which was amazing, the chips and garlic potatoes are unreal.. They also have new Zealand wine by the glass will definitely be back.

Was able to get a last minute table for myself and a friend during the 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme. I ordered the burger and cheesecake and my friend ordered the steak and cheesecake with coffees. The food was so delicious and the staff were attentive. The tables were further apart than normal to apply with social distancing and the customers were spread out. Cant wait to return again. Only getting round to writing a review now, really enjoyed my visit.

Took my student daughter here when visiting her for the day. What a delightful place it is. The staff were excellent and their service was top notch. The menu was a little different which appealed greatly. It’s always nice to try new dishes. The grey sole served on the bone was so good. Dishes were nicely priced throughout. The restaurant was cosy and good to see our local sporting heroes adorning the walls. An excellent meal!!

Despite trying for days to make reservations in advance before our trip, I couldn't seem to get a table booked absolutely anywhere for my birthday meal. We were left to try our luck on the day and as expected could t get in anywhere. However, having glimpsed Darcy's on trip advisor before it caught my eye as we wandered down the street looking for a place to eat so we decided to try and the lovely waiter said he would squeeze us in and we managed to enjoy a fantastic candlelit meal for two. The menu was a bit limited but overall it was a very enjoyable experience and the staff were very helpful and a nice waitress even offered to take our picture on my phone when she saw me struggling to take a selfie to document the moment. Would return if if I'm ever in Belfast again.

Myself and my partner are here visiting Belfast from Liverpool UK for a few days whilst we have some rare time off of work. We used previous reviews to decide on Darcys for our dinner and we was not disappointed!We didn’t book so we were pleased to get a table when we arrived and The staff made us feel safe and ensured we completed their track and trace and complied to COVID guidelines during our visit.We got the seafood chowder (main) and the stuff roasted half-chicken. The food was absolutely unbelievable and didn’t take long at all.We got chatting with Johnny about our current stay and he couldn’t of been more helpful, offering us a list of the best bars and pubs in the area to get the best from our stay.Johnny and Michael were brilliant hosts and we couldn’t of been happier with our experience at Darcys.Would highly recommend anyone to visit Darcys when they can!

So... We booked a table at Darcy's after reading some of the reviews. Upon arrival, we were asked to remain outside whilst they cleared the table (Covid 19 stuff).I wasn't best pleased at being asked to wait outside but understood the reasoning and accepted it as the new normal now.We were ushered in and seated in what can only be described as a cozy table, akin to your great auntie Vera's front room. The decor is dated and full of character, the lamp shades are memories of a childhood so long ago..The waiters could all be brothers (maybe they are?), there is no starched shirts or dickie bows about them, bet they are excellent at their roles, each moving around the compact dining area with confidence and ease. Although they didn't stock my Wife's preferred wine, the waiter had no bother dishing up alternative samples for her to decide upon. The food was to die for. No wonder the reviews are so good. My party consisted of four, each with different diets including a vegetarian. The waiter was outstanding and went as far as to suggest what we should try (based on diets). The place is compact, it's busy, and it's got character by the bucket full. The staff are exceptional and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you go to Belfast - You have to try this place out. You won't be disappointed.

Very enjoyable experience at this quirky little restaurant decked out in CS Lewis paraphernalia. Lovely staff and good quality food and coffee. Love that it's dog friendly.
