Horatio Todd's Bar & Restaurant in Belfast

The food and portions were great, very tasty, well presented, and hot. Unfortunately, the service let the whole event down. There were a number of disabled people at the table, including myself, the staff wouldn't serve drinks to the table without putting it on the whole bill and advised that if anyone wanted a drink they would have to go to the bar. It was busy, yes, but that was a bit much when they were serving other tables drinks. I noticed some of the staff gave the impression that they would rather be somewhere else. Despite the service, the company was good and we all enjoyed the food.

great place, great food, great drinks. amazing atmosphere and vibes all together.

Great bar with a good atmosphere

Great spot for a few drinks and a snack to end the night on the way out of Belfast. Good atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Good pints and good service, bar snacks are not good value for money 👍

Friendly helpful staff, with excellent service.

Had a great night here. Food was good, a great range of beers and drinks and the music and DJ played all the tunes I knew.

Had a fantastic gnocchi as recommended by the server. Really friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

One of my favourite pubs! Good drinks, good food! Lovely atmosphere and great staff. Only critique is sometimes the beer garden is a bit dirty.

Food was excellent and well presented staff friendly and helpful

Great food and value for money. Staff were very pleasant. They even have draft alcohol free beer.

Wonderful spot, great staff, great food, great feel, good prices

Fantastic food, reasonably priced, lovely staff

Absolutely brilliant. Had my birthday dinner there and staff couldn't be nicer!! So accommodating, especially with picky eaters like myself. Will absolutely be going back. Beautiful restaurant seating & decor as well as parking out the back

Excellent venue, quality food, very honest price, very pleasant British music and pleasant staff. Highly recommended.

Staff and food….Awesome. Love the atmosphere and would highly recommend

4 of us celebrating our sons graduation. Service was excellent, food was delicious and plentiful, not rushed with time between starters and main, all 4 of us enjoyed our meals and will definitely be paying another visit and would recommend to others with no hesitation.

It's not possible to have dinner while watching a football match on TV. Only the bar area allows you to see the TV. I insisted but their rules are very (too) strict. The customer is not king...

The restaurant staff were amazing really good service. Food was good and we got the special.

Great place,lunch eas fantastic

Fantastic food, great service brilliant singer on as well. Reasonable price too.

A very good meal at a reasonable price, staff were very attentive and always smiling. I had a Pil Pil starter which, whilst nowhere near a Spanish Pil Pil, it was a great effort. Then I had the roast beef, an excellent choice for a Sunday roast, plenty of beef and veg and the gravy was so tasty. A great Merlot at a good price was a good addition. We shall be back.

Last night we dined here as a family of 6 and had a special occasion, my mum's birthday, ruined due to poor service and excessively long waits between only 2 courses, of what is basically just simple pub grub. The restaurant seemed to be overbooked for apparently only having one chef on and a large party were also seated behind this, I'm assuming the kitchen was just overwhelmed here, the front of house basically ignored us most of the night knowing how long we had been waiting. The manager *guy with glasses), basically just mumbled some half hearted apology then proceeded to bring the wrong order when the main courses did eventually arrive, one of our party didn't get their fish n chips and had to make do with a burger they didn't want instead. We were on the 2 courses for 20 menu, and 3 of our party were supposed to get dessert after their mains and weren't even offered it in the end. Our booking was for 7pm and we didn't get our mains until 8.45. It made for an embarrassing and awkward situation for my mum, and when she went to settle the bill the manager had the cheek to try to fully charge her for everything, when she queried this he reluctantly deducted the drinks from the bill, disgraceful. I work in the industry as a head chef myself so I know times are tough, staff shortages etc, but here tonight there was just no excuse, the restaurant shouldn't have taken the bookings if they couldn't cope, its a shame as we've used Horatio todds in the past for family occasions without any problem, so I hope they get their act together, unfortunately though I can't see us returning anytime soon.

A very busy lively bar/restaurant. Given there were about 30 of us on a Saturday evening the service and food quality was very good. We had pre-ordered our choices.

Busy but not crowded. Short wait for bar service.

From booking to ordering in advance, as there was 9 people, was very easy. They have a deal on think it's Monday to Thursday 2 courses £20. Excellent variety of dishes, starters, chicken wings, pulled pork tacos etc, main courses tiger prawn scampi, steak burger, fish and chips, peri peri chicken burger etc. sweets cheesecake, brownie etc. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Very good service and nice restaurant. Food was expensive though was matched in taste.

Very loud from s crowd of la As drinking at the bar and all shouting over each other.went on the full times we were there for a family birthday

Very pleasantly surprised by the food and service. The chicken burger was excellent.

Nice food, friendly staff. A little expensive but worth paying extra for nice food.

Amazing place for a meal or as in my case a birthday meal for me and extended family. Definitely will be back for a meal

Had a whole afternoon and evening there for watching the rugby and dinner afterwards. Great service and atmosphere. The servers attended our group of 25+ with a smile and diligence. No complaints from any of our group to the food. Top marks across the whole dinner menu. Notable food options were the goats cheese tart, the burgers, the beef daube, the Korean chicken and the linguine. Superb.

Just a pleasure to visit, great food, never had a bad meal & the staff are absolutely amazing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fun few drinks on a Friday night. Even got a few requests in with the guitar guys.

We had our 90 year old mother's party there and it was lovely 😍

Called in for a drink, great atmosphere

Went for the tasting menu absolutely superb. Shout out to niall!

Lovely Sunday lunch, meat cooked to perfection! Service excellent, really enjoyed.

Not a fan of food in there, but lovely place to have a pint or two

Had my anniversary dinner last night. Food was exceptional and would recommend anyone to try the sirloin. Excellent staff. Great place.

Had a fabulous time having drinks with good friends the staff were lovely and friendly 😊 we had a great afternoon 😀

Have not been here in a long time. Went tonight as my daughter has moved nearby. The food was excellent. But the staff were all amazing!! Had a great night and 100% will be back very soon. If you are looking for a nice bar/restaurant this is the place to go. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Friendly, attentive staff amidst the chaos of Christmas outings.

Amazing service at Xmas on a Saturday night. Big ups to; Joni Ben Steph Sarah Janey and Jordan

Great food, service and atmosphere. Booked a table for Sunday dinner at 7 and had a couple of drinks after. Busy, but not overcrowded.

Christmas 🎄🎁 lunch was fabulous at Horatio Todd's! All well fed, jovial atmosphere and staff very attentive!

Great bar with a great atmosphere on a Saturday night with live music excellent, Good service too by friendly staff.

I was only in for drinks but hear the food is lovely. No tv, so not a sports bar! The entertainment was really good. Will definitely be back

A meal for four - a good selection of food and everyone was very pleased with our mains and dessert. We had no starters. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the overall cost of food and drinks was not exorbitant.

Loved loved loved it ❤️ food was class and staff were so lovely. Loved the bao buns and cheesecake. Will definitely be back soon and will 1000% recommended

Friendly & helpful staff. Had Sunday roast (turkey) & daughter had vegan option which was very good. Too much gravy but should have asked to serve it in the side. Children’s menu good but should have had small Sunday roast option.

Todd’s is a great place to meet and eat. It’s long been a focal point for Ballyhackamore. Famous for good food and drink and of course cocktails. A good outside heated area is great for ur four legged friends.

Great food and atmosphere, would highly recommend

Amazing service from the staff here! So friendly so helpful really lovely staff! Went for dinner and the chicken wings are spicy and tasty really well done. The bacon and cheese steak burger was gorgeous and the chips were lovely aswell. The portions are really generous I even had to leave some chips on the place! Will definitely be going back!!

Booked for a large family birthday celebration and everything was excellent - the staff were really helpful with questions about dietary needs within the group and were attentive to the tables throughout the evening despite it being a really busy service. Lively bar and really handy for the Glider back into the city centre.

Great food and atmosphere. Parking at rear good addition.

The atmosphere was great. Bar staff were amazing. This place is highly recommended and will definitely be back. Won't let me change my ratings buts 5 star for me.

Good service, but my Guinness was shocking. Huge head and tasted weird. I drank half and left

Nice atmosphere, tables well spaced out. Table serving staff very attentive, but not intrusive. Great food. We had burgers and they were very good.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th time here. Great meal and service again.

We went for a family meal on Sunday 15th October at 5,15 pm! food was absolutely delicious and our waitress was a delight! Even brought the birthday girl a glass of bubbly! Would definitely be back Many thanks Dawn

Excellent food and friendly staff 😊

Great atmosphere and we and a few drinks @ lite bites which were really good we were served by Stephen very polite @ great service

Always great good and service, and nice comfortable, spacious interior.

This place should be 5 stars - across the board we were pleased with the service, drinks, and food. Best duck main dish! The appetizers were also 5 star (squid & Brie; with chefs side salad). The dessert was also on point with flavors textures and portion size. Bar and wait staff (Daniel) were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. The atmosphere is comfortable, clean, and fancy (but not too much, we are laid back people and still felt great!). Highly recommend! No photos because the food barely lasted, we devoured it :)

Meal for four friends at a circular table. Excellent 2 course menu and glass of wine at a reasonable price. Food enjoyed by all.

Fast service. Food was very good.

Cosy bar well placed in the town with great ambiant seating to hang around with friends

Cocktails were great on them all night

This was our first time there and we didn’t even have a booking Myah our fab waitress brought us to our table and the service was excellent She was the loveliest waitress who couldn’t do enough for us Food was amazing too and my hubby was very happy with his banana split as he hasn’t had 1 in years and I was more than happy with my calypso coffee😋we will definitely be back with the rest of our family Thanks to you all and not forgetting the chefs 😊😊

We went on a Tuesday and had the two course and wine for £17.95. The food was gorgeous and all staff so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend

My first time there. Was very happy with delicious food, service was excellent with nothing being a bother. Will definitely return

Only popped on for 1 pint as was driving but good quick service.

My friend and I had a lovely relaxing lunch here. We chose the bar area at the front which has more comfy seats than the restaurant at the back. We each had a warm salmon salad. Very big but tasty. Lovely relaxing ambience and friendly service

Went to lunch with a special friend. Just lived it, the food was great, gin lovely 😍 nice atmosphere, not to crowded for lunch time. Staff lovely 😍 👌

We stopped off for lunch, and the food was great. Certainly worth another visit in the future. A bit rowdy, on my latest visit, which was a bit off-putting

Really good food and the two course with wine deal was excellent!

Great place...food is lovely... an all round Great vibe x

Fabulous evening drinks at Horatio’s. Willie was excellent and helped get us a table to enjoy our pints. Top guy!! Top venue!

A1 service while we were there for drinks. Willie found us a seat during a busy time and checked up on us regularly. A credit to Todds.

LOVE THIS PLACE ... Out last week with friends and family and a great night out as always tyrone the manager went out of his way to make your experience as great as possible... the staff are very friendly ... highly recommend here great food great staff and the atmosphere here is alway good I'll be back next week for sure 😊

I recently visited this restaurant last month to have drinks with my father at the weekend and was simply blown away by the level of hospitality demonstrated by the staff at both the bar and restaurant. It was my first time ordering a steak and the restaurant manager Tyrone personally recommended the sirloin cut prepared medium rare. It was undoubtably one of the best meals I have had. The bar also offered a staggering array of cocktails and liqueurs but my personal favourite is the old fashioned. The night continued with a live band and a charismatic atmosphere. I would lastly like to give a special mention to a bartender called Janey who provided exemplary service throughout the night with excellent drinks and recommendations. I would highly recommend this restaurant and undoubtedly will be returning!

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. Welcoming staff with bubbly personalities. Shout out to big T for making mine and my friends night a night to remember!

What can I say about Todd's that hasn't been said, was here with some friends on Saturday for some tasty pints, the bar was super busy but the service was top class! Will definitely be back asap for some more Estrella! The Espresso Martinis are pretty good too!

My and the girls decided to head down for the “to die for” cocktail menu. It did not disappoint!!! Highly recommended from me and all my friends, amazing atmosphere with really friendly waiting staff. Definitely will be back. Thank you everyone!! <3

An aptly named restaurant to take our visiting friends to. Most of us work in the pharma industry 😊 Food and service was just great…thank you!

Walked in to the restaurant on sunday 6th august at 4.50 with my partner and asked if there was any space for us. We were both seated by the manager. We were given no menus upon being seated and after 15 minutes without anyone coming near us or asking if we were ok and also observing others coming in and being seated with menus we both got up and left and took our business elsewhere. The restaurant was not overly busy at the time and staff were not rushed off their feet. This would have been my first time eating in this establishment and I definitely will not be back nor would I recommend to any of my friends or family.

Really nice night out here! Shout out to William and Jack who were both really nice!

Great lunch, good selection on the menu, Service was brilliant, didn't get the girls name, blonde hair tied up, a real credit to your establishment.Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Nice atmosphere for drinks and excellent service at the bar!

10 out of 10 place Willie lipton looked after us from start to finish. It was a pleasure and we will definitely be back. Modern facilities

Has to be a solid five stars across the board. It's been a few months since I was last here so had read the reviews to see customers recent impressions and a couple were less than complimentary - isn’t it funny how they are the one's that you pay most attention to! We were a family group of five and funnily enough we were shown to the same table as last time. From us taking our seats and until we left, the staff were friendly and attentive, the food service was quick and efficient, and the food itself was delicious and reasonably priced. Oh, and plenty of free parking out the back.

Excellent meal and service and all round a very enjoyable evening.

My partner and I visited here after work yesterday evening making the most of the rare summer sunshine. We weren't eating unfortunately but we enjoyed a bottle of Mayday white wine and some drinks. That soon changed when I spotted the bar snacks menu so...

Had a really nice meal on a Tuesday night as a family of 5 using the 2 course set menu with a glass of wine Waitress was amazing, very friendly and attentive however the actual wait time for food was excessively long. I think we were in the restaurant over an hour before we had food and then waited a long time between courses. The food itself was nice and great value for money.

Staff are very friendly and great customer service but food was rubbish. The battered haddock was more like a haddock Goujon, so small. The chips tasted old and under cooked.

Fantastic restaurant. Amazing service, food, atmosphere, everything. You'd be very hard pushed to find a complaint. We would highly recommend a visit here

Asked for orange juice and got squash, which was disappointing, but delicious food and lovely service.

I've only been in there once and the food was lovely and we had 2jugs of ice cold water would go again lolx

Went for a Sunday carvery which was delicious. The staff were nice and we didn't have to wait long for the dinner to be served. My only slight gripe is the cheesecake was more like a mousse. Apart from that, great experience and would visit...
