Fuimos a comer aquí antes de ir a un concierto. Pensamos que la elección del menú era bastante pobre. También 2 platos para 18 pero la mayoría de los platos principales tenían un suplemento. El entrante era muy muy pequeño. La comida era normal.

La cena se clasificó como 2 platos para 18, pero el único plato de pescado tenía un suplemento de 2, lo que significa que los 2 platos eran en realidad 20. Creo que es caro y no es una gran variedad de platos en el menú. Muy decepcionado.

Visitamos para el almuerzo y aunque la comida era deliciosa, sentimos que era completamente caro. Solo pedimos un curso, pero incluso las ofertas de 2/3 tienen pagos de suplemento por algunos platos. Realmente no hay grandes ahorros. Hay otros lugares en la ciudad que son más rentables para un almuerzo del sábado.

Mientras asistíamos a un espectáculo, no teníamos tiempo para una comida completa. Sin embargo, el encantador personal del Arbutus nos permitió sentarnos y compartir un postre. Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos, aunque pasamos un poco. Eso es servicio.

Diving out of the house we had no dinner plans going to see a show at the forum and stumbled across Arbutus chanced our arm to see if we could get a table. We were seated immediately and order taken quickly, food was served fresh piping hot and in a speedy time. I was a bit panicky in case we were late for the show but we had time to spare I had the curry and my husband had the steak cooked to perfection. Will be sure we are prepared next time and leave enough time so we can take our time to enjoy the great food, first class service from very friendly staff.

After my daughter's graduation from Ulster University which was held in The Forum my family ate at Arbutus at the Forum. Everyone agreed the food was delicious, served promptly and was generously portioned. The staff were attentive and friendly and we benefited further from a 20% discount offered to graduates. I would recommend this restaurant highly to anyone attending events in the Former in the City. Thank you Arbutus

This restaurant has just recently opened up again for lunch. The servers were pleasant and the helpings were ample. I had the vegan cauliflower pakoras. A side order is £1 extra. To be honest I did not need the side as there was plenty in my main course. I was impressed with how well presented and tasty my food was. My Companion enjoyed her lunch as well. We will return.

Visited Arbutus restaurant last night for a pe-show meal. My wife and I have attended before and have found the food of a good quality and filling. Last night I was underwhelmed with the service. A new manager took our food and drink order. I was unimpressed by his curt manner. I asked could the chicken fajitas be served without the chicken. I was abruptly told that they couldn't be served this way. I then ordered the vegetable curry. The abrupt manner and lack of customer care really threw me and made me question whether I would return. The food was good and all other staff were very accommodating but this lack of care by the manager dented my birthday celebrations.

I am quite fussy when it comes to food, but the caesar salad and tomato and basil soup to start were excellent and the steak for the main was just melt in the mouth, possibly the tastiest steak I've ever eaten! The mash that accompanied it was also delicious. I can't wait to go back and will certainly be telling all my friends about it <3

This restaurant is under new management and is now called Arbutus at Encore. We had a pre theatre dinner here. We liked that on a Sat night there was a 2 course meal for £18 or 3 course for £22. The menu is limited however. The only starter is a tasting platter of 3 items, small cup of soup, one haddock fish cake and small caesar salad. I liked the idea of this but it was very small. Mains choices were mainly chicken. Steak is £3 extra. I had honey glazed trout but it was just a piece of salmon on mashed potato, the parmesan chips that came with it were undercooked and cold and inedible. My friend's carbonara was definitely not a carbonara , it was a pasta dish swimming in a mushroom soups sauce. She said it was very poor but like the garlic potatoes that came with it. We also had the special melon cokctails which supposedly contained vodka, chambord , rose wine and water melon. It was only £4 but had no taste of alcohol at all and was just water melon juice. This place has potential but they need a chef who can produce properly cooked tasty food

Returned for a pre Panto tea. Restaurant was REALLY busy compared to last year's visit. Staff were friendly, menu choice provided something for all tastes. Prices are very fair. Food was excellent. Portions were huge and everything tasted great. One and only down side was the LONG wait between ordering and food coming to table. (Over an hour.) Made the meal a little rushed to make the Panto. Although we did order just after a large group.

We went for a pre-theatre dinner recently. Service was pretty erratic - staff looked stressed, repeatedly forgot to bring menus and poured as much wine over the table as in the glass. Lots of customers were obviously getting worried at the lack of urgency, wrong orders being brought etc, as they didn't want to miss the start of the show. Starters were OK. We had the sirloin for a main - inedible, with some acrid sauce poured all over the top (tasted like from a jar). No-one came to check the food was OK. When another waiter cleared our plates she realized we'd hardly touched the stakes and gave us 20% off the bill and a complimentary drink. Maybe they were just having a bad night (did have a good meal here 3 years ago), but wouldn't go back based on this visit.

I recently won a competition for a meal for two at Encore Brasserie and I was not disappointed. The management and staff were extremely attentive and friendly and as it was my 40th Birthday on the same day they certainly went the extra mile. I had the pork belly to start and Spanish chicken as my main. My brother had the goat cheese Bon bons for his starter and pork belly for his main. We were given a little sampler of onion soup before our starter which was really tasty. Can I have the recipe please? Lol All courses were absolutely delicious and the pork belly main was massive to say the least. We opted for the cheese board for dessert and again, the cheeses and crackers were gorgeous. I was also presented with a complimentary birthday desert with 'happy 40th' written in chocolate on the plate. I would certainly eat there again. Highly recommended.

Six of us together. Easy to get a table together. We all chose toasted chicken sandwiches. Perhaps a mistake to all choose the same thing because the chicken content was VERY minimal - maybe what was available was limited and spread too thinly? Otherwise, the sandwiches were hot and fresh.

I'm writing on behalf of my parents who recently enjoyed a meal here. They said the service was amazing and food was of such a high quality. Their waiter Ryan gave them his full attention for start to finish, they were so impressed with his level of knowledge on both food and drinks. They had an all round amazing experience here and no doubt the whole family will be back very soon.

Decided to try the new brunch menu today while visiting the market in the Forum.Was very disappointed with the the food.Tea came from a flask. The restaurant was not busy and so there was no need to opt for this lazy option which was not hot.I ordered the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup.The pancakes were undercooked, doughy and heavy. The promised maple syrup was actually golden syrup!No excuse folks!I've eaten at encore on numerous occasions before and know that you can do much better.

We organised a private function with approx. 30 people for lunch. The function room at the back of the restaurant was perfect for this event. The overall experience was great. From the initial enquiry right through to the function itself we were so well looked after - nothing was a bother to the friendly and helpful staff. The food was excellent and service from the waiting and bar staff was first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending Encore Brasserie and I will definitely be back soon.

Had lunch at the Encore today and it was very good. A great selection of dishes which are a bit different to other lunch options in town. The staff are very attentive and professional. Overall great value for money for good food and excellent staff. I would have no hesitation to recommend the encore. If I was to offer any suggestions it would be to make sure more people know where the restaurant is, signs outside the Forum with menu etc... I imagine visitors to the city, and maybe even locals, don't know about this place or where to find it which is a shame.

Booked Encore Brasserie to celebrate my cousins 50th birthday. It was a late booking as another restaurant let us down. Despite being a busy night for the restaurant, they promised to cater for our needs. What an understatement! The staff certainly gave us a 5 star experience. The food was amazing and the attention to detail from the staff was not something I expected from such a reasonably priced restaurant. There is a great friendly vibe and a fantastic buzz. I will certainly make this my first choice in future as will the rest of my party that evening. Thank you to all who made it a fabulous evening.

Food is always great and the staff are amazing, very friendly and helpful. Always eat there before a show and have our deserts at the interval.

I went to the Encore last night. The 16th March. My friends were treating me to a meal and a show for my birthday. We were given the lunch menu as they had no evening menu. They had no steak, although it was on the menu. When we asked to have desert served at the interval of the show we were told that they wouldn't be open. The food was good but the whole experience was very half hearted. Disappointing

We went for a meal before a performance at the Millenium Forum. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone going to see a show here. The menu has a good variety and the portion sizes are bang on. I had the Goats Cheese Bon Bons to start which were lovely, Pork Belly main which was really good and came with some of the best Black Pudding I've ever tasted, then the Belgian Waffle with Honeycomb Ice Cream for dessert. This was one of the best desserts I've ever had, very sugary but if you like that then you're on to a winner with this.Staff were really friendly and helpful, the house wine which came as part of the meal was good and the value at £25 for three courses plus a glass of wine is excellent.

We visited the Encore before a performance in the Millennium Forum. we were made to feel very welcome and the food and service were excellent. just the right size of menu. My mother in law only wanted one course so it was suggested that we shared her dessert at the break -a good idea

Visited the encore brasserie last weekend. A menu with just enough dishes, superb food and first class service from a polite and attentive staf . A good atmosphere helped when the theatre crowd came in during the break. A return visit will be on the card .

My wife and I were in town shopping and wanted to get something to eat.I didn't fancy just pub grub but likewise didn't want anything OTT. We have eaten in Encore before but were not even sure if it was open during the afternoon. It is tucked away inside the Millenium Forum theater complex so you can't see it from the street.When we called in it was open and there were just a few tables taken.Really friendly and efficient staff ensured we had a lovely meal at a very good price.I would suggest they get some signage at the main door of the theater letting people know when they are open and they will see their footfall rocket skywards.

Attended a show in Millenium on Saturday and had a meal beforehand in Encore. We booked the meal for 6pm but unfortunately due to bad weather we did not arrive at the restaurant until 6.30pm. However the staff were extremely accommodating by quick service. The meal itself was excellent both in terms of quality and service. We were able to go back into the restaurant during the interval and have a dessert and drinks which we pre-ordered and were waiting at our table. The meal was great as was the Homegrown concert and a good night was had by all.

Visited encore before a concert very busy gem of a restaurant, the service from the off was fantastic the manager knows his stuff, from there local beer and produce and some amazing recommendations and our waiter was just so attentive but in now was invasive, and the star of the show, the food, the trout ( or as I stupidly first thought the salmon, until I was extremely well informed about the fish farm and seasonality) well it was just perfect although when I saw the special my friend ordered I had to try this aswell, will definitely recommend and will certainly be back, well done!!

We attended encore resturaunt before a concert in the forum .We had the 3coursespecialfor an amazing 20 pounds . We got a lovely warm welcome from a lovely lady called Shelley . She took our order and arrived back with 2 wee complimentary cups of soup just to take the chill of us as it was a very cold night . No sooner were are cups lifted when our starter affordably ribs in a maple sauce it was so tasty the meat just fell of the nonsense followed this with spicy chicken supreme and pork belly with the most delicious champ .Try their malteaser cheesecake it's to die for .My partner had a chessboard which was beautifully presented but only complaint was there was only one chutney and im nitpicking when I say this but it might just make it perfect . It was a lovely intimate setting with fast service and the most friendliest staff I've ever met especially daddy who greeted you like an old friend . We were so impressed and it made the whole concert experience a fabulous night I would highly recommend .

Family and Friends are all talking about Encore and rightly so. Ive been in here a few times at lunch time and the quality of food and service was very good indeed. Im looking forward to getting back to see the new menus! I have seen some new advertising on boards outside the Millennium Forum and there is definitely a new lease of life given to this often over-looked restaurant... (Not just for pre-theatre meals!) I would highly recommend it for lunch and dinner.

Tanto mi madre como yo fuimos a Solo a cenar como parte del incentivo Eat out para ayudar. Pedí un entrante de queso tostado y pensé que estaba bien si el entrante es tan bueno nos espera una comida deliciosa. Llegó el plato de mamá del bacalao al horno y lo disfrutó mucho. Mi principal del 50/50 fue decepcionante. Mi bistec estaba demasiado cocido y el pollo estaba duro en algunos lugares. No me di cuenta de que cada lado tenía que pedirse por separado. Uno de los postres era tarta de manzana sólo de nombre. Si hubieras cerrado los ojos, no habrías podido decir qué era. Nos cobraron 35 por la experiencia. Dudo que vuelva.
