What an amazing dining experience! I am usually a fussy eater and don't tend to try a lot of new things, but every single thing that was put down in front of me was out of this world fantastic! I can't wait to have another excuse to go back.

It's very easy to say how good something is. But this restaurant is outstanding. The food, service and general ambiance is second to none. The chef Alex Greene has compiled a menu second to none. The food is exceptional.

There were drunk loud poms whose language was straight from the barrack room... And that was the women!! They were apparently some kind of prifessional group from London. That put a dampener on the evening.

Superb fine dining experience. This is truly a top end resturant that operates as such. The tasting menu is without a weak link. Wine list is really well curated. If you have the chance to visit do so and you will have a dining experience that is on par with the best of establisments in this bracket on the continent. Hope to return soon for a reprise.

Top 3 restaurant experience if not no.1 we had a sommelier which had the best wine pairing, I think he made the evening. It was doors in, doors out just and amazing experience. No spoilers tried it out and hope you have an amazing experience!

Away from town for most of week and great to be back to Back to proper dining. Been a while 11 years since I've been here, and just managed to sneak in to be presented with precise and flavour packed cooking. Knocks spots of hipster cheffing.

This my first time trying this restaurant and I was really disappointed (I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt I needed to on this occasion). The food was basic. It looks good and it is well presented for sure, but basic. It needs more flavour, spice and more mystery to be called Michelin. I wasn’t at all impressed throughout each course. Literally, it was the equivalent as going to a standard restaurant. The taste is really bland and doesn’t wake your curiosity like a Michelin restaurant should. The portions were ridiculously tiny. Be prepared to be still hungry afterwards. I’m French and I actually love fine dining, but this was so small, especially the main dish. It was literally a thumb-size slice of lamb. I was hoping for the main to be at least a normal fine dining portion, but it arrived being the size of an amuse bouche. You would be better watching a food show instead of coming here. The food is a pleasure to the eye I suppose, but not the stomach. Be aware that, besides £100 per person, you will have to add a lot of supplements. If you want cheese, water, coffee or wine, it’s all extra. I also found the 10% service charge a joke for a meal with two people especially with those prices. Without going for paired wine my bill was £350 for 2 people. I honestly left the restaurant gutted, and full of regret that I decided to spend my money and Saturday night here. Really felt I wasted my time and money. I have travelled a lot around Europe and Asia (food is my passion) and this the first Michelin star restaurant that had ever disappointed me to the point I felt I needed to leave a negative review. I would say the service is good and the staff are friendly but that’s all.

Food was average, the tartar sauce looked it had been sitting in the kitchen for a while the sauce was drying out it was forming a skin and the butter looked it just come out of the fridge. The soup of the day was delicious I had the fish and chips the fish was good but the chips were a bit shrivelled. Bit disappointed about the portions. The staff were friendly and helpful. The Chef needs to up his gain with food his handing out. Not impressed

I have been really looking forward to dining at Eipic for a while now. The Michelin star restraunt is one of those must-do foodie experiences. But, to be perfectly honest, I was disappointed. I'm a fussy eater. There are lots of things I don't like. But I have an agreement with my husband - when we go to a restraunt with a tasting menu I will try everything I am served. In other restraunts this has been challenging, amazing, rewarding, and sometimes completely delightful. Not so in Eipic. I found each course to be resolutely... meh. Everything was a bit bland, lacking the immense flavour or the surprising combination of tastes that I had hoped for. And it was all a bit soft, I mean, the texture of each dish was soft, without crunch or bite. Presentation was impressive. Each course looked stunning. Style over substance perhaps? I wasn't given the menu (which disappointed me a little) so I can't describe each course. But there was a cheesy thing, a tuna thing, a halibut fish course, duck for a main, a chocolate desert and several dishes in between. All beautiful to look at. And all perfectly nice. The service was excellent - except my husband is allergic to lobster and they'd been told about this three times and still served him a little lobster starter! But they were apologetic and corrected it quickly. And everything else was polished and professional. I waited a little while to write this review to, you know, let my opinion settle a little. So, overall, disappointed. Recently enough I've eaten at Ox, A Peculiar Tea, and The Wild Honey in Lisdoonvarna. At each I was wowed, delighted, impressed. I hoped for the same from EIPIC, but something was lacking. It was perfectly nice, nothing to turn to the waiter and say anything other than 'it was lovely' in that polite, NI, don't want to cause offense way. But I wanted a memorable dining experiece and this wasn't it. Also, the most expensive meal I've ever had! I shouldn't be remembering it just for that reason, but it was one of the most exceptional parts of the night. When you pay that much for an experience there is a temptation to claim it was brilliant, in order to justify the investment. But it was just perfectly nice.

Great atmosphere, great wine pairing with the tasting menu and great conversations with the sommelier. The halibut was the best dish of the evening. Sadly, we were not very impressed with the remaining of the tasting menu, not even the book. Nothing was bad, just not showing the captivating flavours you are expecting to encounter and are paying for.

Nice service. We had dinner with matching wines. The sommelier got the first wine wrong for our taste but then adjusted and we were happy with his wine choice throughout the rest of the dinner. The waiters were nice and friendly. Dinner options were either 8 or 12 course; we went for 8. The amount of wine was more than food, portions were very small, but lovely. Not that we left hungry, but for a lady it was a bit too much wine for the small amount of food. One of the courses had raw mushrooms in it; I've never had raw mushrooms in my life. It tasted nice, but both me and my partner had funny stomachs for the next 2 days. We are unsure though if it was from the amount of wine or from the raw mushrooms. The dining room is nicely decorated but we thought the background music was not appropriate for a Michelin star restaurant and the atmosphere.

The food here was absolutely outstanding. The paired wines with the- 12, was it? I lost count(!)- was an experience by itself. The staff were very professional and knowledgeable about food and wine alike, which is to be expected at this calibre. However, they were clearly also highly passionate as they took us through the courses. That was a delight to see. I have not had a dining experience quite like it in Belfast before. Second to none!

We recently dined at Eipic, as a table of 6, celebrating one of the diner's birthdays. I had eaten at Epic a number of times before, and recommended it as a perfect celebratory lunch venue for my friends, and I have to say we were looked after royally. Alex Greene is a sensational chef, and his lightness of touch and ability to incorporate full bodied flavour into the dishes is extremely impressive. The food is delicious, and exquisitely presented, and the staff were very professional. The dining room is very smart, and quite formal, but not stuffy in any way. Crisp linen tablecloths and immaculately plated dishes are juxtaposed against the friendly attentive staff. A great meal, and my friend, who was enjoying his 60th birthday, said it was the best lunch he had ever had! A complement indeed.

High quality food, a real treat, thoroughly enjoyed. The mark is set early on with delicious snacks and quality Irish bread. I would recommend going along with the suggested wine pairing which gives you a shot (75ml) of wine with as many or as few courses as you require. Staff are highly trained and really make the extra effort to establish the professional experience.

One of my 'go to' places for years and we were very underwhelmed. It'susually packed (especially on a Saturday night) and has a great vibe but there was no atmosphere. The menu wasn't great and the food was bland overall. Waiting staff mixed up drinks orders (there were only 3 of us) and one of the main courses. We won't be rushing back.
