Cloth Ear - Belfast

Visited Cloth Ear on Thursday evening, 20th April 2017 and it was extremely busy. We hadn't made a reservation but my dining companion and I were lucky...

We were skeptical at first just due to the name of the restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious! We ordered the Free range...

I really wanted to like this place, but the combination of average food, exceedingly high prices, and horrendously inattentive service just fell quite...

Made a reservation in advance. Enjoyed the atmosphere quite a bit--it's an elevated gastropub with some modern touches within traditional decor. Comfortable seating and a quiet sophistication to the atmosphere. Elegant in theory, between the atmosphere and a gastropub menu that made our mouths water. Elevated takes on classic pub food, including some curries, etc. Clumsy in execution. Service was friendly but at best disjointed and the pace of the meal was excruciatingly slow, with very long waits between the appetizers and main course. We struggled to get a server's attention to order a second round of drinks and ask for condiments. Food wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. We left feeling like we'd paid a lot for a pretty average meal.

We went here for dinner last night,on what was a freezing night in Belfast-this establishment and the service was warm and welcoming. Food was really good-staff were attentive and friendly. The Cloth Ear provided a wonderful end to our evening in Belfast. Keep do what you're doing guys!
