Steak house
This restaurant is becoming a fast favorite for its delicious food cooked on hot stones. The Monday Surf N Turf Menu is a very good deal and the steak was cooked perfectly to my liking. The mussels were however poor quality, but I still enjoyed the steak and fries. My last dish was a Dark Chocolate Tart which was rich and tasty. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Belfast!
