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.

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.

My friends and I were walking around the wall and I needed to use the lavatory. I saw the Anchor Bar so one of my friends and I stopped in. While she used the facilities, I ordered us 2 half pints. The lady tending bar was super friendly as were the folks sitting at the bar. We ended up sitting down and talking to some folks at the next table. We then texted our friends to come join us. We ended up staying for 2 or 3 rounds. The bartender came over and took a few photos for us. We had a great time there. The vibe of the place was just so laid back and friendly. We all loved it. We didn't eat so I don't even know if they offer food.

Doesn't open when it says it does. Seems to be a recurring issue.

Thank you for the lovely afternoon in your lovely pub! The food here is of better quality than many restaurants in London. A special thank you and praise goes to the chef Sahin, who personally made sure that everything was OK with us. We had fish and chips and the Mega Mixed Grill plate. Both highly recommended! The service at the bar was also super friendly and had a very good knowledge of the types of beer on offer. Great atmosphere and clean toilets. Overall, I would like to give the store more stars than 5!

Had a fab meal at the Clayton Hotel tonight. Lovely menu, really nice feel about the place, didn't feel like you were in Belfast in a good way - plenty of space between tables and a lovely atmosphere where you didn't have to shout to have a conversation! Food was delicious and service was great too. Will definitely return and would 100% recommend.

Absolutely stunning location for a really special break and first-class friendly staff. We enjoyed the spa. It was a little crowded on the weekend days, but not unpleasantly, so - there was still space in the hot tubs and saunas. We booked a private riverside hot tub for an hour, and I would absolutely recommend that. Sitting watching a heron fishing in the river while drinking a cocktail is really very cool. I would really recommend visiting on a weekday, though, to get the most. The spa cafe (Elements) is lovely, and the cake was delicious. There are enough different saunas and sitting areas, and hot tuns and pools that it is easy to spend a few hours a day in there and not get bored. We also had a golf lesson with Barry, and he was absolutely fantastic - really helpful and insightful and definitely improved both of our games. The TopTracer driving range is brilliant fun - if you have never used one before, it transforms your time at the range - definitely worth some time. The restaurants are very good, not quite gourmet, but good food, clearly carefully prepared and well presented. It's mostly simple but quite delicious. The highlight for us was the steak at the Castle (restaurant at the golf course). One criticism would be the wine selections - unless you want to drink an entire bottle, the selection is a bit uninspiring. The room was comfortable and clean, we had a river view, which i would definitely recommend the upgrade for. Unfortunately our shower drain wasn't very effective and there was a very slight damp smell in the bathroom. The final recommendation would have to be the afternoon tea - especially if you have a sweet tooth. The savoury items were much more creatively thought out than your standard finger sandwiches and the cakes were a delight. My only criticism was the balance, I could have done with one or two less cakes and one or two more savouries- but then I suppose an afternoon tea isn't supposed to be about the savouries. Overall- if you are looking for somewhere to take someone special I can't recommend it enough.

The drinks are very reasonably priced for a city centre pub , the Guinness is top notch , they also sell Jameson’s Crested a rarity in high street pubs. The bar staff are super nice and polite. They have a happy hour if that’s you thing, the menu is awesome with a wide variety at a good price. Oh and the music is cool.

A laid-back, cosy pub with lovely, personable staff who always make their customers feel welcome.

Appalling over all. Cheap cuts of meats presented to us as rib eyes ( silly of Deane to compromise on quality and thinks customer doesn’t know any better) Rude and cold staff ( that’s to be expected when you meet the manager) he is no leader that’s for sure! Rudest arrogant manger we have ever encountered in any restaurant ( he’s been there a while so tells you Deane & Co. are not invested in their customers, their feedback or good food over aggressive staff! Imagine going to pay to eat in a restaurant and being humiliated by an arrogant man and we were paying the bill and left a tip ( more fool us) Manager starting arguing with us when we gave feedback over the quality of some of the steaks served to us among many other hiccups over our dinner service Sides were average. Wine average and over priced. Overall we ran out of the place relieved to never have to be subjected to that abuse again

Molly malones is a great pub for live music and live sport. Fantastic staff, food and of course a perfect pint of Guinness.

Our 3-night stay was lovely - amazing staff who give you a personalised service, and the chef who will do his best to accommodate your request for food not on the menu. I requested for a main course with prawns, and voila, it was done. All the waiting staff are friendly and helpful. We got to know Eugene, Ms McCaan, and the manager, Michael. Michael went out of his way to furnish me with a print-out of the express bus schedule to get into Belfast, as this is my first time in Ireland. Just can't say enough of the amazing service, and fantastic food. We didn't feel that we need to dine elsewhere because we love the food, the ambience, and the service. We'll love to be back.

The best little port on a cold wet day. We visited Ballintoy on a typically dreary day and the cafe was so cosy warm and welcoming. Staff are wonderful, coffee was fabulous and the cakes were out of this world. Some great views too. Highly recommend!
