I don't blame the staff; they're mostly young adults but I'd challenge management to elevate their expectations and service. For example, when orders are taken the team should note who ordered what. Their approach is to bring food to the table and ask, who ordered the filet? Same with water and bread service. They dont anticipate, you need to ask. The hot stone was novel, but my ribeye was tough and sinewy; not a very good cut. The decor and setting were ok, the location is great so they're set for success. They just need to work on the details!

I'd make one anyway, the downtown area can get busy. We were eating lightly, so ordered off the app menu. I ordered scallops, comes with a haddock and leek cream sauce. My wife had the crown prince pumpkin soup and a side salad. All was delicious! I think everyone working stopped to check on us, so the staff is lovely and attentive. Having eaten lightly, we rewarded ourselves by order dessert, a buttermilk pancetta with quince a biscuit crumb. Another delicious hit. Fine place, highly recommended.

Although the place was quite fancy, and we were not, we were still treated very well and didn't feel out of place. The ambience was very chill with great music, super art, and efficient service. They have 1, 2, and 3 course meals with wonderful choices across the board. I was gunning for the 3 courses and fortunately the server said that they wait to take the dessert order because it is a lot of food. And it was! For the first course I ordered the mussels and fish cake, which was served in a velvety creamy sauce and surprisingly also came with a perfectly poached egg, which only added to the richness. This could've easily been doubled from 3 to six mussels and from 1 fish cake to two to make a main course, and I wish it was, because it was one of the most delicious seafood dishes I've had in a long time! For the second course I got the halibut with potato croquettes, served over a romesco sauce base with a little bit of cream sauce and some kale garnish. It was cooked perfectly, but after the first course, I wanted to be wowed again. It was tasty, but I like a spicier romesco sauce, and it could've been wonderfully balanced with the same cream sauce the mussels were served with. Very good dish, just not quite what I was looking for. My teenager got the roast beef, medium rare, topped with cloves of roasted garlic. It was served with mashed potato, a crusted mashed potato fritter, whole roasted carrot and parsnip or turnip, bits of kale and Yorkshire pudding. All were cooked perfectly and even the vegetables were gobbled down like candy, which is unusual for my kiddo. Although we were the first customers of the day, by the time we left most of the restaurant was full of happy diners, many of whom seemed to be regulars. I can see why. I imagine this is the kind of place where they get to know what you like and aim to make you happy :)

The interior is chic and classy whilst the exterior is full of character having formerly been a 18th Century Iron Foundry. Hadskis is the perfect destination for a working lunch or a romantic evening dinner - in fact it is fit for all purposes. I visited for an early lunch and while the doors only open at 12 by the time half 12 came around there were at least 5 tables occupied in the long narrow dining area. I would suggest to book a table if you are hoping to eat at Hadskis post 12:30pm. We were presented with the lunch menu by the attentive staff - there were 6 different choices of meal for £6.50 each but this wasn't basic fare - This was fine cuisine at an unbelievable price. I couldn't choose between what was on the menu so being a glutton I opted for 2 dished form this menu. As Hadskis specialises in seafood I went for the filling Seafood Chowder and the Sardine and caper Caesar salad. In retrospect I should have just gone for the Seafood Chowder as it was extremely filling - although IO 'm glad I got to taste both dishes. I found Hadskis the perfect dining experience - firstly the staff didn't judge me for being greedy and secondly the food was incredible. I will definitely be back.

It was on the tough side so the two of us that ordered that were greatly disappointed. Perhaps we needed to try something else. We were also a little put off by the server actually asking us to leave a gratuity when after eating in over 20 places in Belfast and Northern Ireland, this was the only place that did. Note, we believe in tipping but just were surprised to be asked. Seemed ballsy.

Attended with a party of 9 people on Friday 01/09/2017. It was inconvenient that Brooklyn Sq asked…read morefor a £45 deposit when we booked our table at the start of the week (£5 per head). I hate it when restaurants do this, I can understand it for Christmas party bookings, but dislike when deposits are requested throughout the year. It would prevent me from returning with a large party in future. It's just a hassle trying to collect money from people you won't necessarily be seeing before an evening out. Alternatively one person has to cover the deposit before the meal, which is unfair and leaves them out of pocket until the night out. Other than this we had a good overall experience. Waiting staff were excellent and the menu is huge with a vast selection of dishes, even plenty of veggie options - burgers, pizzas, pastas etc. I ordered vegetarian fajitas which were served with a side of fries, 3 fajita pancakes, a large sizzling plate of mixed veg (mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes) plus guacamole, sour cream and salsa. The guacamole and salsa weren't fresh, instead they seemed quite processed. But it was good food - not great - but filling, tasty and reasonable for the price. Our whole party enjoyed their meals. We also ordered dessert and the Banoffee Pie was absolutely gorgeous- though I did have dessert envy when I saw the Nutella Dough Balls some of the others ordered! Ginger, gin, beer and plenty of wine flowed. In total two courses, drinks and tips cost approximately £35 per person. A good night was had by all. This is a nice, casual, relaxed restaurant and I would return - but not with a large party as I dislike the insistence on a deposit and enforced service charge. Whilst I recognise the reasoning for these charges and appreciate they are becoming common in a lot of restaurants, I will primarily take my custom to establishments who don't insist on a deposit. A good, solid 3.5 stars from me...

My weekday dinner at Muddler's Club seemed a bit directionless…read more The food is excellent, taste, flavor combinations and présentation. That is not the concern. The space itself has a very long and interesting history, just over 40 seats have been cramped into that space. A couple tables have small glass walls to separate them and squeeze in more diners. And it's pretty loud. So loud, I can barely hear the sommelier describe her wines. There may have been music playing... but who can hear? There seems to be an attempt to elevate the bartender over the sommelier, with the menu encouraging the guests to try specialty cocktails instead of selecting whole bottles of wine. And the bartender's constant ice shaker only adds to the noise. The service is very relaxed, with servers in t-shirts and jeans, sneakers, paper napkins. And the servers seemed a bit inattentive, watching the chefs through the pass, not paying attention to guests' needs. Oh, and the server even wrote "thank you" on the printed bill... How kind. Excellent Flair. Pure Chotchkie's. For the food, I'll return. 2025 04 16. M1. 235.
