Bit weird at first, bar maid seemed to be taking the mick out of us with the locals. Great singer came on and enjoyed it.

As I’ve heard there has been a relaunch of the kitchen food and staff I had to come down and try for myself, I was completely surprised with the explosion of deliciousness I have just endured! What a curry! Best I’ve ever tasted! Also the starter of the manhantten chicken strips were delightful! Most defo 10/10 will definitely be back !! Yes chef !!!

Decent bar/restaurant which is part of Dukes Hotel in the busy University area. Suit well for a drink or a meal if in the area around Queens. A little expensive, but it is a lovely part of town. Staff are good.

I stayed at the hotel so thought I would try out the restaurant. I had the 8oz Sirloin Steak which came with Chips, two huge battered onion rings, grilled Mushroom & Tomato and Peppercorn sauce which was served in a pot on the side. The Steak was cooked to perfection and had virtually no fat. The Peppercorn sauce was also absolutely delicious. It was a decent sized portion from which I didn’t still feel hungry or completely stuffed from. Beer selection was pretty standard. I had a pint of the Heverlee which is everywhere in Northern Ireland but in England I’ve only seen it in Tesco! Service was quick and staff friendly. They also had the football on BT Sport which was a welcome bonus. Very nice experience would definitely recommend.

My fiancé and I went with our 1 year old on Saturday evening to have something to eat on the way home. There was no one at the door to greet people, look after track and trace, ensure masks were worn etc so we entered and found seats directly in front of the bar that were unoccupied. We sat there for 15 minutes as at least 5 members of staff, including someone who looked like a manager, looked at us, walked past us and completely ignored us - not so much as acknowledging we were there. Even as we got up to leave, no one so much as commented. I would like to add that we have been here in the past and the food has been very nice and we have never had an issue with service, however this was unbelievably bad.

Started off a nice day lunch a couple of drinks.. But then when I say drinks we had to ask 4 times to order another drink both me and my partner going inside to ask could we get a drink order while staff standing talking at bar. When we did finally get ordered placed, again another long wait while every body who ordered after us drinks come first. Sorry to say we ended up walking out as 1 hour to get a drink just isn't acceptable

This is a very down market pub/restaurant with a very noisy clientele if you know what I mean. The food is very basic pub grub and on the occasion we visited they got my order wrong and my meal was delayed by about 15 minutes, although to be fair to them they were very apologetic. This place is not for me but if don't mind these types of places then give it a visit.

Este se ha convertido en nuestro local, probablemente el mejor bar de comida en Belfast y mucha gente no parece saberlo. El pescado y las patatas fritas es mi opción y el bistec es mi compañero. El bistec siempre se cocina a la perfección, con acompañamientos sabrosos. El servicio puede ser cambiante, pero en general ha sido bueno. Encuentro que cuando voy a tomar una copa hay más retraso, sin embargo, con la comida nunca hay que esperar. Vale la pena una visita y tiene un precio razonable :)

The restaurant is beautiful, and tastefully decorated. It wasn't overly busy when we arrived for our final meal of our Belfast Staycation, and we were seated very quickly. Order was taken promptly, and food arrived a little time later. Food was really great, probably one of the best meals that we have had in our time in Belfast. Well done and compliments to the chef. I was a little concerned however, when we received the bill - we were charged higher prices than what was on the menu in front of us. Some dishes 1.50 - 2.00 more expensive than what was displayed on the menu. Passed the info to the waiter, and he apologised and said he would correct it however when the waitress who was on that night brought us the correct bill, she tried to make excuses as to why it was incorrect. It was rectified though, so no massive deal. The waiter who served us was very friendly, and couldn't have done more but the waitress who was on tonight was not friendly at all. Prompt, to the point and blunt. Not sure we would return on the basis of the service alone, much friendlier places to eat at in Belfast.

Had a few misses for a decent pornstar martini at some places in Belfast the day before, but this venue nailed it! Fries were amazing and good value and staff were lovely. Also one of the few places for gluten free lager and a winning combination is found. Would definately visit again, the evening menu and live music need to be done!

This place got really nice inside after the make over. Had steak there recently and it was just right with beaut chunky chips For sport fans there are plenty of screens to enjoy watching footbal or tennis for example. Also there's an outside bit which I believe will be hit during summer. Can't fault the place as the service was quick and friendly.

When they changed to the Practitioner the food was good but now very disappointing and processed. At Christmas they took off their snack menu and put on an expensive Christmas. Was both disappointing in cost and quality. The fish was all batter and deep fried and the turkey and ham very processed. The place is now disappointing and very expensive.

Lovely bar and furnishings but the night we visited was a Saturday night and the live music was far too loud. We couldnt hear ourselves. Why is live music such a thing in Belfast bars? Ill let u all into a secret: Noone wants it. People go to bars to converse. Nothing wrong with a bit of background music but not to that intrusive level

Great bar, surprisingly really good food for pub grub. Nice breakfasts, decent music and very clean (when there's not football on) my only complaint would be that the live music can be very loud depending on the artist playing. If it was a dancing bar I could understand but this to me is more of a relaxed spot, so I think the music should correspond.

Stopped in for dinner on Tuesday night. We were a little hesitant as we thought it might cater to the trendy college crowd but we are happy to report that it was a casual pub with a relaxed atmosphere and very professional and friendly service. We arrived around 7 on a Tuesday and was seated right away. Ordered the beef burger and the chorizo and red pepper sandwich. Both were excellent. Our family both ordered the fish and chips and both said it was great. Washed it all down with Guinness. Topped it all off with sticky toffee pudding which was excellent. Highly recommend.

We stayed at Dukes on Queens Hotel next door and thought why not give this a try. It was well worth it. The service was excellent. Drink selection was really good with a wide variety to choose from. The food on the menu is quite modest, but caters for most tastes and the food itself is of a very good standard. There was also a live singer on which added nicely to the overall experience. Can highly recommend The Practitioner.

We are regular customers at cuffs. An booked a meal for a birthday celebration for 9 people on Sunday 29th September 2024 @4.30pm. On arrival we were told that our table was booked for 5.30pm. Which was not the case. They seated us at 4.25pm. Four of the party had soup. Which they finished quick enough. Despite this. We had to finally ask at 6.15pm if our mains would be much longer. When they eventually did bring them out. One of the meals was wrong turkey and ham with gravy and should have been peppered sauce, one came (chicken goujons) an were eaten before the side that they came with was brought to the table. The final meal (a steak) (was brought when rest of the party were nearly finished there meals) and it to was wrong. Chips, instead of mash and pepper sauce instead of gravy. People who came in much later than we did, were served (3 courses) and left. Before all our party had received there meals. Not once were we asked if we would like more drinks throughout this time. Despite arriving at 4.20pm. We were the last to leave restaurant due to this service. All of us only having one soft drink each. This was very disheartening. I have only ever left good reviews for cuffs. An had recommended here to my friends. Hence why it was booked for a birthday celebration.

We went to the Merchant Hotel for a pre dinner birthday drink as a treat around 4.30pm our dinner was booked for 5.15pm. Our table had the reminants of the previous party, empty glasses and half eaten nibbles. A waiter came and took our order but didn't bother to clear or clean the table. He then took an order for a couple beside us. The couple beside us were swiftly served a pot of tea with nibbles and glasses of water. At 5.05pm I went to the bar area and advised we haven't received our order and we were ready to leave. The drinks arrived at 5.10pm delivered to the drink stained table which we literally had to drink in one go as we were going to be late for our meal and over £30 worse off! Lots of suited staff walking back and forwards looking important but not really doing very much. Maybe when you see customers looking around for assistance you might want to try and help. Service appalling for a Saturday afternoon, dread to think what the evening service is like! Disappointing start to a birthday celebration.

Went on Wednesday 29th Nov. Food was amazing as always and the two girls serving were exceptional. My son is special needs and they interacted so well with him. He is non verbal (one word answers sometimes) but they asked him what he would like and he replied chicken. They were extremely helpful,pleasant and very welcoming. So thank you for our experience as we don’t get to do family meals often.
