Wine & Brine in Lisburn

Slightly underwhelming late valentine's meal - staff are lovely but for the price the food was distinctly underwhelming (my main course soufflé although delicious felt a bit sad and lonely as a main) and venue is lacking in atmosphere and warmth (literally - the wood burner couldn't quite deliver the temperature required!)

We had an absolutely delicious lunch today. The food was prepared to perfection. The team looking after front of house were so friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to a return visit in a couple of weeks. I know where my birthday lunch is going to be.

Superlative. Every course a gem. And the affordable lunch menu made it a steal. One of us had an a la carte starter that was beyond incredible, so I imagine the full dinner menu is beyond good. Every visit here has been exceptional. This is fine dining professionalism on all levels, from food to service to environment. I hope more people make the trip, as this is one of the most worthwhile places in the south of N.I..

Lovely setting but food not great. Staff lovely though.

Beautiful Sunday lunch - great staff, great food and a great vibe - and not a fortune!

Excellent, good food, top presentation and not to forget the friendly staff.

Great menu choice, and superb people and personalities serving. A few issues along the way though, white wine 2nd bottle not put in a cooler, had to ask twice before it got chilled, the portions of veg for 4 looked the same size as if for 2 people ? The overall speed of service was exceptionally slow, we sat down at approx. 14.35 without a break, we finished eating at 17.20, so almost 3 hours for 3 courses, with wine. Will think twice before returning, especially at this price point and expectation. As I said at the beginning, it's the great people that make this place.

NEWSFLASH! Wine and Brine is still the best restaurant in NI by a country mile. I've been about 10 times now and it still impresses me every time.

One of our favourite restaurants. The food is outstanding and the staff are always very welcoming and most helpful. I would totally recommend this restaurant

Wonderful meal here tonight. Food was superb and very reasonably priced. Our waitress, Zara, was helpful and very friendly! Would highly recommend a meal here.

Another wonderful lunch at Wine and Brine, great seasonal menu, nice ambience and fantastic value for money. As it was a family celebration it was also enjoyable to make use of the extensive wine list! Thanks to Davina and the team

Very classy, lovely food and great service.

Probably the best value fine dining experience in the whole of Northern Ireland. At £30 for 3 courses with it's lunch and early evening menu, there is no skimping on getting bang for your buck! My only criticism would be that I always treat myself to a hors d'oeuvre and, whilst the menu gets changed the hors d'oeuvre don't!

Had options from the set menu at a working dinner. The salmon starter was terrific and presented daintily with sesame seed tuile pieces. My lamb main was cooked perfectly and the sauce and sides complimented the dish exceptionally. Lemon meringue for dessert rounded off a great meal. I was driving, so couldn't sample their drinks list, except for their post-dessert coffee, which was tasty. Their upstairs suite catered to the work bit of the evening well. Service very attentive.

Lovely place , enjoyed being spoilt

Overpriced tasteless food. Trying to be something it’s not. Good enough service but sorry won’t be back!

Outstanding menu and the food is super 👌. Menu changes seasonally and reflects the local produce brilliantly.

My twin brother and our other halfs had our 40th birthday dinner here, the food was amazing. It was such an experience with each plate not only tasting delicious, but looked so appetising and artful. Our waitress was absolutely lovely and we did get some chocolates as it was our birthday. Its very comfortable inside and overall just a great restaurant.

We had an amazing meal and experience. Delicious food and really reasonably priced. We had the lunch menu 3 courses for £25. A great kids menu too. A lovely venue and attentive staff. We'll be back!

Had lunch at Wine and Brine with my wife and boys to celebrate my 50th birthday. Just have to say that the food was delicious. Great service, fabulously presented courses and great atmosphere.

Incredible food, in particular the lemon meringue pie

Had to wait 40 minutes for starters to arrive, and then the rest of the meal felt rushed. Charged 12.5% service charge for 4 adults and 3 children under 7. 🤔

Absolutely superb..never fails to impress with a wonderful variety of out of the ordinary choices...high recommend ...

A good place to go. Tables well spaced apart, staff attentive and food, excellent

Michelin stars top quality food with full of flavour on every fork you heat . Staff are very pleasant. Price is reasonable for a Michelin rated restaurant. A must go to experience the pleasure of food and wine ( wine was excellent the only issue at £8.25 a glass You wouldn't expect to get a tiny tiny glass . This is not good value for money . All alcohol are will over price )

Excels. A big favourite as they are faultless both service and food. A joyous experience everything. Love Davina and Chris for the wonderful welcome and delicious food everytime.

We had Sunday Lunch here and it was nothing short of sublime. In every respect a truly delightful dining experience. The food was beautifully prepared and the presentation executed to a very high standard. The portions are perfect, striking that balance between culinary excellence and high end dining with the need to be sated. What makes this establishment 5 star for me is the service. A member of staff named Fiona mainly attended to or needs. She was mindful of our needs without being overbearing and easily chatted away at appropriate moments in a warm, friendly and genuine way. For 2 adults and 2 children aged 5 and 9, 3 courses, drinks and amazing Latte's came to £120. We will be back soon!

The food here is art. Unique flavors and nicely presented.

We went for the wife's birthday. Beautiful food and attentive, friendly service. Highly recommended.

A brilliant atmosphere, with very knowledgeable staff and an extensive menu. My guests where very impressed and demanded that we meet there again, in the near future.

Today’s tasing menu was unreal, incredibly delicious

I love Wine and Brine. My family and I enjoy this restaurant so much we come together here every time we’re all home. The Sunday menu is always delightful, the food is stunning, the staff are lovely and the restaurant itself is immaculate. I love it here 🥰

Amazing food excellent service fantastic atmosphere 5**** as always.

Delicious lunch. We enjoyed it all.

Lovely experience. Visited as a party of 4. One dairy intolerant, two veggies and one with a nut allergy. Resturant was very accommodating to our needs and adapted a dish to meet my nut allergy. Food was well presented, but more importantly delicious. Portions were small, but surprisingly filling. Food was amazing and I've never ate such high quality food for such a reasonable price. When I'm next back in Moira I will definitely visit again. I actually can't wait to come back!! Really happy to see they change thier menu frequency so I know I'll enjoy a new menu item on my next visit.

Lived up to my expectations, friendly/knowledgeable staff, delicious food, great atmosphere and a decent wine list. What more do you want for a posh meal out!

Very nice, shame about one waitress that was flippant and a bit rude about intolerences, not the first person to have experienced this here

Fantastic place 😀 😍. Amazing. Definitely recommend 👌

Sublime lunchtime meal here. Absolutely could not fault it. Wasn't just the exquisite food though. Our waitress was wonderful, attentive, knowledgeable and unflappable. Hold on to her!

First time here. Felt totally pampered from start to finish. Food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Hubby is gluten free and it was nice to go somewhere where colieacs weren't just an after thought. We will definitely be back. A really special evening.

Loved it, best meal we've had in a long time. Vegetarian choices were fantastic, flavours were a superb. Highly recommended!

Beautiful setting, very attentive service and excellent food! Always top marks!

I organised a table of 8 for a birthday gathering. I had to send in our order one week in advance, not a great practice for a non Christmas party but the communication was fine and friendly and I ensured all guests choices were told to the restaurant. Upon arrival we were greeted well and shown to our table. Drink orders were taken and served quickly. Starters arrived and service was great. Soon after mains arrived and all looked great. One of our guests ordered steak from the a la carte menu and I informed the restaurant one week in advance it was to be cooked well done. It came medium, it was sent back and returned medium, it was sent back and a new steak arrived cooked medium!! The chef seemed to refuse the customers wishes to have the steak cooked as she wanted it. The guest decided she had no appetite any longer. The waitress was not apologetic on behalf of the restaurant but offered the guest alternative choices however the guest just was finished with the uncomfortable scenario. Dinner continued and finished. The bill was asked for and upon checking the bill the steak was charged for. I politely asked for it to be removed and it was. Still no apology to the guest who didn’t eat. A £45 automatic service charge was added also as a standard restaurant practice. The service was good but I would like to choose how much I tip. Overall a nice restaurant with good food and nice staff but not as good as our previous experience there and I definitely expected more based on the prices charged. Happy to pay for excellent experiences but not for ok experiences.

Excellent tasty food at a different level. GreT atmosphere and service.

A very enjoyable evening. There is plenty of space between tables and the service is paced just right. Friendly staff and good food

Best dining experience my wife and myself have had in a long time, staff attentive and highly skilled, Michelin star every day of the week, thankyou chef and team

My pallet is not refined nor adventurous enough for the food though it is excellently presented and served

Absolutely beautiful 5* all round everything was gorgeous we will definitely be back.

Every time at Wine & Brine is an experience of food for the soul, from the floor staff to the chef in kitchen they are impeccably attentive.

Not bad! Came here for a meal with 6 others and really enjoyed it. Food was good, and the staff were lovely. Compared to a lot of other restaurants like this I wasn't hungry afterwards! Only main complaint was the food did take a while to arrive, but considering the amount of time it takes to prepare dishes of this calibre I can forgive that

My wife and her friends were in a few weeks ago and all three of them got food poisoned and the reason they haven't put a review is out of generosity but I feel like the public should be aware of such a serious matter from a "Michelin star chef" And if I could give a 0 star I would.

I had been looking forward to trying this place for sometime as I'd heard great things about it and of course because it has a Michelin star. The menu looked interesting and I read it online before I went. Once arrived, I realised it wasn't exactly the same but that isn't unusual in restaurants because of sourcing ingredients. My starter was a stuffed courgette flower containing crab, scattered with fresh shrimp with a lobster bisque and edible flowers on top. It certainly looked the part. The taste was something else entirely. The filling inside was definitely missing something to make it memorable. Very bland. I enjoyed the bisque but the shrimp were not good at all. They gave a sort of bitter taste to the whole dish. For mains I ordered monkfish with a tandori sauce and cucumber raita on top. And the flowers once again. Presentation was good. The fish was cooked really nicely. My problem was with the over seasoning of it all. I've never been served a dish as salty as that anywhere ever. And I've eaten salt baked cod before in Turkey. I tried my best to eat it, not wanting to make a fuss since they seemed busy. On reflection, I should have just said something. At the end I was asked how everything was since I'd eaten less than half. I explained. The waitress was polite and said I could have had the meal recooked if I'd said at the start. She went to speak to the chef and management and the dish was removed from the bill. All in all a mixed bag. Good customer service, nice building, nice wine but sadly the food disappointed - and on my birthday too. I will be back though, trying something different this time and if anything is amiss I will remember that they encourage you to speak up.

Food was ok. Poor attitude of lady manager with a "no one else complained" type of response...

This was my first visit to the restaurant and I was certainly impressed with the delightful atmosphere and memorable taste of flavours in each of the dishes served up.I have been recovering from illness during the visit and therefore my appetite wasn't able to fully appreciate the beautiful dishes set before me.Fortunately my life long friend Martin compensated for this visit by virtually licking his plates.When my health improves I will be be making a bee line back here.The staff were superb and explained the contents of the menu with great passion and detail and are to be commended.The restaurant had an informal aura and showed no signs of pretentious which is a breath of fresh air.This restaurant doesn't need a Michelin Star,it's fine as it stands and long may it continue.

Food excellent service polite and attentive

When you start your meal with a simple request for bread and you get the most delicious flavoursome bread I’ve tasted in a long time ,including a brioche bun oozing with a cheese sauce filling … you just know your in for a stellar meal . Stunning food ,fresh and cooked to perfection . A great restaurant that we shall certainly revisit again . Hats off to to a great team !

The best meal I've eaten. Imaginative without being showy. Great wine at a reasonable price, and good service - friendly, knowledgeable and professional. A Michelin star can't be too distant. Can food be better than this?

A beautiful restaurant with delicious food. Lovely staff that was friendly and attentive. Will be back again to try their set menu. We went at 7pm on a Thursday evening, the rush was just ending and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere that gave us space.

Exceptional food and staff.....no other words!

Quirky little cafe - very good food and even better takeout deserts!

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Both stars for for the starter and the decor only. Everything else was well below expectations. I just dont understand why people rave about this place. I guess it’s just reputation and people wanting to believe it’s good. Staff looked very unhappy, didn’t finish my food and didn’t bother orders mr a desert, if you knew me you’d know it would have to be bad for that. Won’t bother going back. Fancy looking and sounding food with terrible flavours. Really should be one star.

One of the must places to have a special night. Would put Dean's restaurant in Belfast a good run for it's money

Yet another fantastic meal at Wine & Brine. The staff were wonderful, food was delicious & the atmosphere was very welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit.

Enjoyed using this restaurant in the past however when making a booking for a special birthday for my father-in-law my wife made a call to Wine and Brine and was told that it would be only a tasting menu and it would be £65 per head. She was told that she wouldn't be allowed to bring a birthday cake either. The woman who took the call was abrasive and arrogant and my wife felt that she was discouraging her from actually making a booking. Having consulted with the rest of the party we did not continue on with the booking. My wife rang again to cancel and whilst explaining about how she was made to feel during the call the same abrasive woman hung up. What a shame that the arrogant and condescending attitude of one person has spoilt years of enjoyment. Please remember Wine and Brine, that it is us little people who are spending our hard earned cash on keeping businesses like yours going through these last 2 difficult years. So please learn to accept constructive criticism and don't lose the run of yourselves.

Delicious. We had warm Kilkeel crab tart, game sausage with truffle mash followed by Monkfish Kiev and loin of venison with a venison pie. Absolutely fab. The side for the Kiev was a shellfish bearnaise also fantastic.

Sunday lunch, such a treat. Exceptional food, 1st class service. A great experience. A total dining experience. Really worthy of 6 stars if it could be awarded. Can't wait to return.

Excellent measl on more than this visit. Great food and the ambience within the restaurant is most welcoming. Super cooking from Chris and his team.

Food and service are just fantastic! This is the 3rd I've been here and I'll be back many more times

Excellent meal and service..top quality restaurant.

Desserts were lovely, recommend the chocolate dessert. Ox cheek was tender but too salty for me. Mixed grill fish, flat fish was on the bone, but I would have expected the fin bones around the edges to have been removed, more effort than it was worth getting to the fillets.

Excellent cuisine using unusual ingredients brilliant service. Someone take me back 😁

Great food but the serving staff did not describe the course and considering it was a tasting menu I was let down as its part of the experience.

Top class food and not terribly expensive. Was in for the Sunday lunch. Will definitely be coming back.

Super restaurant in the heart of Moira

Excellent food and service. The chocolate and miso caramel dessert was 10/10!

Fabulous food...one of my best dining experiences ever. Staff are fantastic.

Very good service..great atmosphere. great. variety on Menu you really need to book your table early

Just been wowed and entertained with a culinary master class. Chris prepared a 3 course dinner, while Saks people produced the same food along side!!! Fab results. Thank you for the knowledge, passion and expertise.

Very noisy dining room unable to hear our own conversation without shouting across the table at each other. Exorbitant prices for tiny dishes.

Delicious food, great attention to detail. Excellent social distancing.

Food was tasty, hot and well served. Not exceptional flavour but enjoyed.

Beautiful food and lovely service. French Martini was beautiful.

Excellent service/atmosphere as always - had the lamb with spiced kofta and it was absolutely superb!!

Had lunch today in this beautiful restaurant, staff were amazing. Food was extremely delicate, outstandingly tasty. Cant wait to return.

Great menu for something special, tables well spaced out. Good spot!

Great food, great service, nice atmosphere

Food was exquisite, staff were great I'll def be back 👌😁

Consistantly imaginative good food & service

Lovely atmosphere. Superb chefs....real chefs. Great service. Limited vegan choice. Very small portions but tasted wonderful.

I really can't remember when I have had as good a meal out. I could find fault with nothing. Hard to single anything out but the dessert was a superd finale - macerated plums, rice pudding ice cream and doughnuts. Everything was so fresh tasting and waiting staff very knowledgeable about the menu. Top class.

Just enjoyed on of the best lunches ever. Exceptional food and service, and a lovely atmosphere. Expensive? Yes, but worth every penny and more!

Great food great service will be back soon cheers

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Northern Ireland.

Amazing great food and great service

We had dinner here Friday night with friends. The food and service were amazing. Will be recommending to all my friends. The raspberry souffle was so good.

Had a superb lunch with friends. Everyone enjoyed every course! My GF menu was second to none - I'm not used to this standard of choice nevermind content. Environment and staff excellent. You will not be disappointed

Booked a dinner seating after seeing the restaurant on James Martins show about Northern Ireland. It looked amazing on there so we had high hopes. First of all we thought parking would be a problem but it wasn’t. We found a parking space on the road outside. The restrictions end at 1830. On entering the restaurant the staff were very friendly & had our table waiting for us. The air of the place was quality with friendliness. Just what we like. As it was a special occasion we thought we would have a cocktail, we chose a Gin Bramble... delicious! (£8.50 each). The menu was wide ranging & had lots of options. We didn’t have a starter as we know what we are like & wanted room for dessert. For main we had the Duck & Short Rib, then for dessert Jaffa Cake tart & Bakewell tart. The food was awesome, it really was. We especially liked how the prices weren’t anything eye watering. The only pick up we would say is about the card machine & tipping. It said - 15% good, 18% very good, 20% excellent. Now my opinion is I don’t tip in the UK, everyone is paid a wage for doing their job. However in the USA were wages are horrendously low I do tip for the services. But on this occasion we did tip 10% because we thought it was a lovely meal. My suggestion would be to take the good, very good, excellent away from the tipping options. It’s only a small pick up. Overall the food, staff & the place was brilliant. We will definitely be back.

A superb lunch today. Every course delightful. Environment & staff charming. GF requirements second to none. 10/10

First time to eat in this restaurant and it was a very pleasant relaxed experience.No lunch menu as such but could select from a good range on the menu and have a lighter meal.Service was excellent very friendly and efficient.It was noted that all the staff were regularly sanitising their hands and that tables and chairs were sanitised well when customers left.The food was very good my only quibble would have have been that my fish was a touch underdone I don't like to see blood in my fish however it was tasty. My husband likes his lamb on the rare side of medium but in places it was very undercooked however he reported it tender and tasty.The Thai fish bites for starter were excellent with a lovely spicy kick
