Called in here as a party of five here last week and I must admit everything was tremendous. Three of of our party had the sirloin steak which were all cooked to perfection and the other two dishes which were the seabass and house burger were also tremendous and in general great value for money. Our server (Craig) went above and beyond for us to make us feel very welcome and couldn't have done any more for us. Craig's customer service was great and we could see this carried through to every other table that he was dealing with. In general I would give this place 5 out of 5 for both food and customer service.

The service alone would prompt me to write a review - the staff are exceptional -very hardworking, attentive, considerate and cheerful -you could not but leave happy. The menu is great, the food is very wholesome and prepared with care and served with a flourish and it is a lovely atmosphere. It is convivial, relaxing and the tables are not too close together. A wee shout out for all the lovely team.

Had a lovely family meal on Friday night, we all enjoyed our food, and service great. My husband and son loved the steak and chips. My daughter also loved the strawberry fizz and brownie and great that they could accommodate her fussy eating. My fish was cooked just right, with a herb crumb. Many thanks, will definitely be back 👍

Oliver's is one of our favourites, and never disappoints. The menu had plenty of well balanced options, and food was excellent. Especially loved the risotto and super impressed at the team rustling up an off-menu brownie for one of our fussy plain-eating friends! Front-of-house team were typically professional, not looking remotely aggrieved when we were the last diners and asking for coffee, when they would probably have liked us to leave - much appreciated.

Dined in Olivers last night. The food was excellent! We had two course specials with a mix of starters, mains and desserts. Steaks, Seabass and turkey were perfectly cooked and presented. Full of flavour. Good drinks choices available and reasonably priced. Staff were attentive and the restaurant has a modern relaxed feel to it. With a glider stop right outside the door access to the restaurant couldn't be easier. Excellent dining experience and will definitely return. Happy to recommend!!

Chicken Burger & fries - £19!!! Mayo missing, minute ramekin of slaw & 3/4 basket of frozen fries - tbh I’ve had better in KFC Service good & staff friendly Vinegar bottle like sth you’d get in a chippy Lemon Meringue very good but bought in Outside terrace area needs attention - soggy damp fake grass, 1 heater - no furnishings no atmosphere Disappointing

Stopped in on a whim today (9.16.23 ~6:30 PM), though the website notes we should reserve a table in advance. Our customer experience professional, Stephanie, greeted us welcomingly, acknowledged a seat was available, and was attentive to our needs the entire dinner. We sat alfresco , warmed with heaters as needed. The food was very good. (Fish and Chips, and pork belly). I was very satisfied with both the main dish and desert (brownie/ ice cream). The cost for two was about $75USD, which is about what you would pay in Manhattan NYC. The food was not scrumptious, though, but delicious and satisfying was all we needed… that’s what we got. I would highly recommend a stop in if you’re near the Stormont Hotel area. You’ll be glad you did .

We live a 10 minute walk from Olivers and pre Pandemic we would visit around once a month. It could get a bit pricy, especially if you decided to make an evening of it and stay for an extra glass or two before walking home, the staff were so lovely, we never felt rushed and were happy to pay for a great evening. So when I suggested Sunday lunch my husband was hesitant, we'd been for lunch last September and the female server was loud and plainly in a rush to get us in and out. We decided to give the place another chance, so we booked for yesterday. The same woman served us again, 3 menus were slapped on the table in front of us. To be fair, we were given water at that stage but there were 7 people in the restaurant including us and it was almost 10 minutes before she reappeared with three words, 'Ready to order?" We asked if we could please order some drinks while we decided what to have, the barman, who we've known for years was very polite when he brought our order. When she returned to take our food order, I had just dealt with an urgent work message, and was quickly looking through the menu. My husband jokingly asked if he should spell his order to give me another moment to look. The reply, "Just tell me what you want and we'll get to HER (with a shrug over her shoulder in my direction) in a minute." On reflection, I wish I'd paid for the drinks and left then. I won't be spoken about like that again. Such a shame that all the rest of the staff and the beautiful food is let down by one individual.

Food average apart from excellent ribeye steaks, very few if any vegetables with the meals. Nice ambiance, nice house wine with the set meal, but you can't buy a bottle of house wine (?) unfortunately. It was my parents' 60th Wedding Anniversary meal, not even offered a complimentary glass of Prosecco, so will try other restaurants in the vacinity.

One of our favourite Ballyhack restaurants, Oliver’s always delivers excellent dishes using locally sourced ingredients matched with an inventive cocktail list, and quality wines, all at affordable prices. We started with a couple of great cocktails, a treacly Veda Toast Old Fashioned, and a blast from the past, I’m Blue ( Da-Ba-Dee-Da-Ba-Da)! You’ll be humming that all day now!! To start, the Asian Crispy Shrimps with Bok Choi, & Sesame Wasabi Mayo were a spicy delight, and the Smoked Salmon & Mackerel on Potato Pancake with Fromage Blanc & Cress, and the Sweet Potato Croquettes with Pomegranate, Balsamic & Sultanas were also delicious. For our mains, we had Chicken Supreme with Carrot Purée, Balsamic Onions, Pancetta & Sauté Potatoes, Duo of Salmon & Cod with Broccoli, Spinach, Tomato, & a Clam & Prawn Beurre Blanc, and a Sunday Roast Special of Slow Cooked Brisket with Yorkshire Pudding, Roasties, Mash, Seasonal Vegetables and Jus. Great food, great service, and great value for money.

I was in Belfast last December for the first time…. (I am from Cork) the breakfast experience started in the queue waiting for a seat, it was a cold Sunday December morning, when staff handed out little hot chocolates (for free), went in ordered, paid. The staff were SO NICE, SO FRIENDLY, SO SOUND and had a great sense of humour!!! The food was 12/10 absolutely not one fault. It was by far the nicest breakfast I have ever eaten out!! I think about it regularly hence the review almost a year later. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to go again. Food, customer service and setting 12/10.
