Had an amazing Sunday evening enjoying the carvery! The food was absolutely delicious, but the highlight was the exceptional service. A young man with fair curly hair went above and beyond—he was incredibly polite, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. We’ll definitely be back, largely thanks to the outstanding service.

We celebrated our daughter’s baptism with a group of 20 family and friends at Neill’s Hill. The service, food and atmosphere was absolutely first class. From our initial inquiry, the service which we received from Jonathan was professional and attentive and the team at Neill’s Hill couldn’t have done enough for us in terms of setting up the table with our decorations/balloons, personalising the set menu etc. On the day, Sarah Jane looked after our table and she was so attentive and friendly. We felt so well looked after by her and the rest of the team. Everyone in our party was so complimentary of the food which was fresh, well presented and generous in terms of portion size. We were pleasantly surprised by the value for money when we received the bill, considering the meal was prepared to such a high standard. I can’t recommend Neill’s Hill enough for family functions. We will certainly be back! Thank you!

The food is always excellent and there's a really good wine list. The Sunday Kitchen Carvery is simply fantastic. Three types of perfectly cooked meats with lots of veg, potatoes and generous amounts of gravy. We had a sticky toffee pudding, and a chocolate and toffee slice with raspberry sorbet for dessert. Both were excellent but special mention goes to the sorbet, sharp and full of flavour, a perfect compliment to the rich chocolate slice. Highly recommended

Staying locally on a weekend away, and booked an evening meal here, as the menu looked varied and to our tastes. Neil's did not disappoint, the food was delicious, we had bread and dips to start, and Spanish croquettes, which were fantastic, bread was warm, tasty tapenade. Mains we ordered the haddock and chips, and the spinach, sweet potato and chickpea curry, with rice poppadom and dips 10/10. Hubbie had a pear and almond tart for pud ,which was comforting, warm, and moist, went well with a dollop of cream and a must. The Mercia Spanish wine of the month was my favourite, smooth and light and I had 2, followed by raspberry vodka Collins (2) loved these. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the locals warm and welcoming, which is why we stayed linger than expected. The bill was so reasonable considering we had two courses each and 1 pud and 6 drinks £125 ( £70 on drinks) I thought it was more but who's complaining. Definitely book again when we return to Belfast...5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😊

Wife and myself met with 2 friends for afternoon brunch. Met by waitress Ellen and another girl whose name I didn't catch. Directed promptly to our seats where our friends were already seated. Orders taken and drinks delivered promptly. Main courses (2x chicken schnitzel, 1 haddock & chips, 1x sea bass) arrived very quickly. Thankfully a large noisy group had just left so we were able to thoroughly enjoy our food that was very very tasty and amply portioned. We all commented how much we enjoyed. Another round of drinks and desserts ordered and equally delicious. (1x boozy brioche, 1 trio ice creams, and 1 cheese board (2 cheeses ordered) ) Really set off the afternoon which we all really enjoyed. Well done to waitress staff and chefs and management. Already hoping to get back, maybe the tapas night some Wednesday. All in bill was £152 excluding tip.

Tapas Night at Neill’s Hill, a neighbourhood restaurant in Ballyhackamore, runs every Wednesday until the end of August serving authentic Spanish small plates. We ordered a selection of sharing dishes, all of which were excellent. Olives with crumbled Manchego, and bread with aioli to accompany our superb cocktails while we waited at the bar for our table; we’d thoroughly recommend turning up a little early to perch at the bar, have a drink and a nibble, listen to some live music, and soak up the ambience. At the table, we had some roasted padron peppers, patatas bravas, whitebait, crispy squid with rocket & spicy mayo, fried halloumi with chilli jam, smoked salmon bruschetta, and a standout dish of smoky grilled octopus with potatoes and a paprika dressing, all washed down with a bottle of off-dry El Ninot de Paper Rosé. To finish, we enjoyed some irresistible Iberian sweet treats; pastel de nata served warm, and one of our favourite desserts- vanilla ice cream with boozy raisins and lashings of Pedro Ximenez! Simple yet utterly delicious! Neill’s Hill’s terrific, tasty Tapas, is accompanied by the musical talents of Los Dramaticos, transporting us to sunny Spanish climes. This incredibly popular theme night is only running until the end of August, so get your table booked!

Dined here and thought the food was a bit “comfort eating”, you know like something you’d cook at home instead of being restaurant food. The menu on a Saturday evening seemed limited, a couple of overpriced steak options but nothing exciting jumped off the menu at me. We both had the chicken wings as starters, very fiery sauce and precious little meat, £6.95 each portion. For mains we had battered haddock, only very lightly cooked, very pale and extremely small size (£18.95) and breadcrumbed breast of chicken in chorizo cream, this time a bigger portion but bland in taste. No doubt this is a successful restaurant but it occupies prime site in Ballyhackamore. Service was good, fairly fast and thankfully not constantly being checked upon.

First time at this venue, good food and choices for all ages and tastes. Nice location and simplistic decor. Staff/ service good aswell. Only complaint is much other tables mentioned also aboit the noise, was very loud compared to other restaurants which made conversations a little more difficult and communicating with staff. Think its the acoustics of the restaurant played a part.

This was our first time at Neill's Hill Brasserie and I'm so glad we decided to give it a go. Just a great meal from start to finish. The staff were so friendly and it had a great atmosphere! Starters were Cauliflower Wings in hot sauce and Halloumi fries, mains were Smoked haddock,mash, poached eggs with mustard cream and chicken schnitzel, desserts were creme brulee and apple tart. My wife had a Grapefruit Gimlet cocktail which she described as "delicious!" I could fault any of these dishes, they all tasted great and every plate was handed back clean! We will 100% be back for more and I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant!

First time in neills Hill. Won't be the last. First impressions were excellent. Lovely, vibrant yet cosy premises Very warm and inviting. Staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We had the BBQ rack of ribs which were cooked to perfection. The meat was slow cooked and just fell off the bone. My partner had the aromatic rice bowl with chicken, which was packed with flavour. Absolutely delicious. But what was really refreshing, was that you were not being asked every 5 minutes "is everything ok"...they allow you to enjoy your meal. That tells me they are confident in the quality of food and service. And rightly so. Loved it. Will be back, and will be recommending Neills Hill to everyone. ❤️

I visit Neills Hill more than any other restaurant in Belfast, as it is consistently a cut above establishments offering a similar cuisine and dining experience. In December, I went for a Christmas night out with my husband, sister-in-law and her partner. We all ordered from the 3-course set menu and selected different dishes across all three courses. Each of us was impressed with every dish, which is quite something nowadays! I ordered the vegetable broth and wheaten bread. The bread was fresh and had that homemade taste, whilst the soup was delicious and plentiful. My main was pork medallions, done in the most mouth-watering sherry, mushroom and leek sauce, accompanied by creamy mash. My dessert was the traditional Christmas pudding, which was so light. Often, they can be too dense and rich for my taste. Throughout the evening, the service was superior. Our water jug was continually topped up, without us having to ask. I must also note that, although I did not have it, the Christmas dinners, which were ordered by two of our party, were very generous portions, and both commented that everything was piping hot! No mean feat! All in all, an exceptional dining experience, with warm and attentive service. I've already booked to return for an anniversary meal and am very much looking forward to it.

My partner and I having had many enjoyable meals at Neill's Hill in the past, we were very disappointed by our evening meal on December 20. A large number of men and women at an adjacent table were making so much noise that I could barely hear what my partner was saying and we were having to shout. We ordered the beetroot & butternut squash wellington and were told it would take half an hour as it had to be cooked from scratch. When it arrived it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Then when we ordered the chocolate tart for dessert we were told it wasn't available. At which point we decided to give up and leave. We did get a substantial discount on the bill.(We can't fault the wait staff, by the way, who were very friendly and welcoming).

Booked table for 11.15, looked at menus we were asked if we wanted to order drinks, we said we would rather wait until we had our food. We asked if we could order food but were told kitchen was too busy (there was a party of 8 in but restaurant was half empty) so we had to wait a further 15 mins which we didn't mind as we were all chatting. The waitress who took our order was grumpy the young staff were very pleasant. Food was tasty and enjoyed by us all. We were asked if we would like to order more drinks which we did, once they came the same waitress came and told us our table was needed in 10 mins, had we known this we would not have ordered more drinks which we had to rush. I understand table turn around but it was not our fault that our order was not taken on time because kitchen too busy.

This is my favourite restaurant in the area! Called last minute for a table for 2 adults, one child. Got in for 8.15pm. (App didn't have that table, so glad I called) Food was Beaut with a capital B so much flavour. Staff, I think, are very friendly. Can see new people learning and the seasoned staff constantly walking around, checking all is good. I had the patè for starters and duck for main, and my wife had wings to start and pork for mains. My daughter had a starter of patè as well of the main menu and nuggets of kid's menu. Everyone loved their food!! (TIP - in only having a 1 or 2 dishes get an extra side, the meals are portioned for 3 courses) this is great if going for a few drinks after so not to full. Ended up having desert which really topped of the meal. Along with a couple of drinks each, the bill was £110. Thought that was a pretty standard bill for the type of meal. 10 out of 10 and definitely recommend!

This was our second time visiting this restaurant. The first was a few years ago and I have to say we really were not impressed, first things first they said we had the table until 8pm and we didn’t even get served our food until 730pm giving us 30 minutes to eat and drink? Once our food came out the chips were undercooked, hard not nice to eat at all. My peer got the battered haddock and in his words “you cannot even taste the fish in this”. I got the sirloin steak asked for medium rare, it was not cooked to medium rare it was over cooked. The garlic on my chunky chips wasn’t garlicky at all was just oily and again the chips were undercooked. My other peer also got the sirloin steak only asked for garlic butter on top and it was pure green and she said it did not taste right at all. There was a group of about 18 of us and every single person who got chips they were undercooked. The menu we were given hadn’t changed since we were in the restaurant years ago. I will not be returning to this restaurant can find better steak and chips in belfast city centre and for cheaper overrated and overpriced!

This must be the most overrated restaurant I’ve ever known. It’s always packed. Yet the food is always.. just ok. Was part of a group of 10 and not one person said they loved the food. Each said it was fine. Chicken wings were nice and decent starters but the seabass dish is bland. Steaks were ok but not much on plate. So expensive too! Not impressed but the decor and restaurant atmosphere is nice and staff are brilliant

Neill’s Hill Restaurant-Tapas Night. Neill’s Hill, a neighbourhood restaurant in Ballyhackamore, has an informal, casual vibe with a modern interior featuring art work from local illustrator Peter Strain. It delivers a classic restaurant menu with small plates, local cuts, fresh fish, and a dedicated vegan menu. Tapas Nights run every Wednesday until September with an authentic Spanish small plates menu. We ordered a selection of sharing dishes, all of which were delicious; bread with aioli, roasted padron peppers, patatas bravas, cauliflower wings with garlic and chilli dressing, cheesy polenta chips with pesto, whitebait, crispy paprika squid with rocket, and smoked salmon & cream cheese pintxo. To finish, there are some irresistible Iberian sweet treats-pastel de nata, and churros with chocolate sauce. We also had a couple of rather fabulous cocktails; a tangy Grapefruit Gimlet and a Vietnamese Coffee-a modern, creamy twist on an espresso martini. Muchísimas Gracias to Neill’s Hill’s terrific, tasty Tapas, and the rather excellent Matt & Joe for creating the perfect musical ambience, all of which cleverly combined to transport us from rainy Belfast to sunnier Spanish climes.

A superb place to eat. I've been here about 5 times now and it's always been good. But today they really blew me away! The ratatouille I had was incredible. The moment it hit my tongue I experienced a total taste sensation! The skinny fries were very crispy and the portion size was generous. Excellent friendly prompt service. I can't think of any way it could have been better except maybe a slight delay in being brought the payment machine. That's really scraping the barrel for criticism! If you like their menu you won't be disappointed.

What a great place to eat. Went in as a group of nine - the service was very attentive and quick. All nine meals received great comments from the fish dishes / ribs /hamburgers & steak. Watch out for the dessert menu and pick the cheesecake. Never tasted anything better - it was amazing. Thank you all - will definitely be back.

Unfortunately we didn't enjoy our brunch here today. Booked for my partner on Father's Day with our kids... I had reserved the table for 10:45am and unfortunately we were running a little late so I rang ahead and explained apologetically to them that we may be about 10 minutes late. The girl seemed fine about this but also had to warn me that our table still had to be returned for 12:15. I found this OK as we just wanted a quick brunch anyway. "Quick" was probably too assuming lol. We arrived about 10.55, didn't receive our food until about 11.35. I usually don't mind waiting if a place seems busy or has takeaway orders to contend with but that really wasn't the case here. There were only about 5 other tables in the place and most of them were already eating. No idea how it takes 40 minutes to make some bacon and eggs. Kids were bored and grumpy, but trying to keep them entertained stuck at a boring table for 40 mins is virtually impossible lol clearly this is not the restaurants fault (we'll leave them at home next time!) but some crayons or something would have at least kept them occupied in the mean time. Fathers Day and high chairs means children! Anyway, we were about to just ask for the bill to pay for the drinks so we could leave then the food arrived. Had to eat it in a rush as we were most likely being timed to get the table back for 12:15... thankfully we were starving and couldn't wait to get out of there anyway. Very unimpressed with the food too unfortunately. Partner said there were caramelised onions on his dish but they were burnt and made the whole meal just taste like charred burnt oil (floating in whatever sauce it was served with... balsamic? a mystery glaze.. no mention of it on menu). My sourdough with aubergine and beans/mint not much better... sorry but I can't for the life of me understand how anyone can charge 8 quid for ONE piece of bread lol. Thankfully I ordered a poached egg and bacon as extras (more £££) which made the meal a bit more substantial... wouldn't say the same for the whole bag of green salad poured on top, something else not mentioned on the menu. I guess this was to make it look like more than it actually was? Didn't work. Salad thrown to the side, ate my depressing single slice of bread in a rush and paid the 8 quid for it with gritted teeth. The staff were fine. But the atmosphere a bit pretentious and stuffy, no ambience or atmosphere - just a lot of loud poncey chatter. Any wonder my 3 year old was trying to get off his chair and make a break for it lol. Won't be back, with children or not. Think next Father's Day will be a good affordable fry up cooked at home!

Food amazing menu changes frequently. Veg meals very good and they make a good passion fruit cocktail.

This is our favourite restaurant in Ballyhackamore. Johnathan the owner is a natural restaurateur having been brought up in the business. The food is always first class. Our favourite are the Tapas evenings as we really like the variety this style of eating allows. The music provided by Los Dramaticos cap it off. If you haven't tried it your missing out.

Lovely welcoming restaurant with friendly staff. Arrived without a booking midweek and they found us a table promptly. Varied choice on menu and tasty well presented food. Reasonable priced drinks.

Went on a Wednesday, Tapas night. Highly recommend. Everything was great just wanted the pork belly to have the fat a little crisper. Apart from that lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, good drink selection and the best Patatas Bravas I have had in a long time.

I have always been a fan, this time we were here for the Japan menu. Food was great, staff were great. I feel there might be something shifty going on with the bills though. We had a couple of offers, we highlighted this and when the bill came around the offer was only applied to one person. To rectify this they had to add a component to the bill to allow the offer to take effect. We thanked them and paid, and when we walked out the door we realised the tip amount had been bumped up to offset the saving made on the offer. When we went back in and queried this the manger noticed the error and apparently sorted a refund for the difference on the system. 4 weeks later and I have yet to receive the refund. Stupidly on my part I took this at face value and didn't request the manager print me a new bill to show this, and she held on to the one I had. The food and service here is fantastic, but this is not the first time my partner or myself has picked up on errors and overcharging on tips.

Four stars, because there's always room for improvement! Deanes at Queen's offers fantastic meals, I personally recomment their mushroom soup, it's amazing. Today I ordered Korean style chicken with salad and wasabi mayonaise as the main meal, and sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream for the dessert. What can I say? The meals were delicious as always! However, in my opinion the music choice might be a bit odd for a high-quality restaurant like this. Jazz, in my opinion, would be a perfect match.

Out for a family lunch today. We used to come here quite frequently and everything was always top class. Unfortunately today was a major disappointment. The food was extremely poor. Not very warm, everything was just very bland. Ordered steak med to well done and it was so over cooked and dry. Not to mention I had to pay a supplement for it. Service was great as usual however I don't think we will be back after today's experience.
