My recent visit to Mourne Seafood Bar, touted as a must-visit spot in Belfast, unfortunately, left a bitter taste in my mouth. Recommended by the host of my Airbnb, my friends and I were eager to indulge in what we hoped would be a memorable dining experience, especially as it marked the final meal of our Belfast trip.However, what should have been a delightful evening quickly turned sour. Upon perusing the menu, we were served glasses of water by a female waitress, only to discover a fly resting on the water's surface. Politely, I requested a replacement, but to my surprise, no apology was extended, and even after my repeated requests, a new glass of water was not promptly provided.The disappointments continued to mount as our drinks were inexplicably delayed, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. To our dismay, upon finally receiving our drinks, we discovered an unknown a blurry foreign substance floating inside one of the beers. Once again, our concerns were met with a lack of apology or acknowledgment from the waitress.Frustrated by the series of mishaps, I sought out the supposed manager of the restaurant to address the situation. While he offered an apology and promised to provide our ordered drinks for free as compensation, it was disheartening to discover upon receiving the bill that the price of one of the drinks had not been removed.Expressing my disappointment, I requested the removal of the service charge. However, to my dismay, I was informed that the complimentary drinks were considered the compensation for the service charge. Feeling as though I had no other option, I reluctantly paid the fee.While I understand that mistakes can happen in any establishment, the lack of accountability, disregard for basic hygiene, and dismissive attitude towards customer concerns were deeply troubling. Furthermore, the subtle microaggressions encountered throughout our interaction left me questioning the inclusivity and professionalism of Mourne Seafood Bar.In conclusion, my experience at Mourne Seafood Bar was overshadowed by subpar service and unaddressed microaggressions, detracting from what should have been a memorable dining experience in Belfast.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed in my dish. I got the Seafood Casserole which wasn?t well described on the menu and I wasn?t able to determine what fish were in the dish. Disappointed no scallops. My starter of avocado ceviche had almost no avocado. The sticky toffee pudding tasted old.

Lovely little restaurant, lighting great, music good, service excellent and food was great. I had the seafood chowder to start which was absolutely delicious. The scampi main was also lovely with a nice amount of sauce and delicious salad. complementary water always welcome and the Rioja by the glass is highly recommended.

Very good seafood place - we all had the fish and chips and were very happy with it! Usually quite busy so recommend booking in advance.

Looking at the dark lights in the store from the outside, I thought it was not open, but in fact it was open and there were customers in the store; their oysters were crispy but very small; there were six langoustines in a portion, which looked very good. It was ok but the food was bland and tasteless.

Really good service. The food was excellent as well! I had the Hake fish dish, which was delightfully flakey, tender, and flavorful. The chocolate dessert was a must.

If you don't make a reservation online, it's impossible to have a table there. Please ensure you proceed to the end until receive an email confirmation. I made a mistake in the first time.The food is great. The seafood is fresh and cooked just right. I really enjoyed the Casserole which has fish, shells, crab, shrimp, etc. I can taste all kinds of seafood in one bowl. The fish and the bread are my favourite.The Crab Claw tastes good but it is not recommended to someone who is in a date... I saw a gentleman having problem with the claws... it may take you an hour to finish it if you want to keep your hands clean!I was in a rush thus I asked the restaurant to serve everything at once. The restaurant showed their flexibility while maintained its great quality.
