It was cod and it was garnished and seasoned exceptionally. It was excellent I didn’t have a dessert but all the others did — everyone complemented their desserts We had wine, beers, cocktails and coffees And every was served without fuss and true professionalism For all the food and drink in a lovely setting it worked out at £55 per head. Expensive?? NO not for the dining experience we received Highly recommended

We got a warm welcome by the manager, then we got looked after by a guy(couldn't get his name) afterwards, he gave us the warmest experience ever! We could tell that it was busy because every table was taken in our eye view, but the waiter was attentive and helpful. He recommended some tapas to start which were all really nice

Burger was more like a soft paste. Waiter asked how our meal was, he was told it was okay and unfortunately he seemed to take offence. This is when service went way down hill. No offer of desert, think he told neighbouring diners that only one portion of cheese cake remained and offered liquid alternatives.

As one of the top restaurants in Belfast, it has always been a favorite of ours. We were sad to see it close, but managed to visit twice in its final week. The food was fantastic as always, and the service was friendly and impeccable. Despite the impending closure, the staff maintained a positive energy and atmosphere, showing their professionalism until the very end. Special thanks to Michael and his talented team for consistently providing exceptional service. A shoutout to Lauren, Charlotte, Ciara, and Anna for making our last visit on a Friday evening special as we enjoyed our favorite window table in the spring sunshine. It has truly been a memorable journey at The Barking Dog - thank you for everything!

Due to the rain, we decided not to venture into town, but we were pleasantly surprised by the lively yet relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. The service provided by our server was brilliant. Our beer was served in ice-cold glasses, setting a good start to the evening. The food was perfect; we shared 5 tapas dishes among the three of us and each one was beautiful, making it difficult to choose a favorite. We also tried the fish pie, burger, and belly pork, and each dish was amazing - the best we've had. We were impressed by the chef and the lovely waitress, and we had a fabulous night. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
