The Cloth Ear

1. A gorgeous restaurant with absolutely delicious food and yummy cocktails!
   We were looking for somewhere comfortable to have a chill late lunch and this place ticks every box!
   Nice and comfortable table booth and friendly staff!
   We had a main each and entree to share. We both ended up choosing the house chicken curry and a vegetable special of the day curry and they were both super tasty!
   We also really enjoyed going through varieties of the espresso martini on the menu. The classic, the Belfast brew, the tiramisu! All of them were amazing!
   The sticky date toffee pudding was a perfect dessert to end the meal with!
   I also really love all the old pictures and clothes decorating the place, it added nice charming details to it! Clean and spacious bathroom!

2. Lovely place, very good atmosphere and nice service. I was expecting a piece of meat for the lamb, it was good, very soft and tender but nothing really special. The chicken was very good though, nice crisp outside and good sweet aftertaste. We also got the soup of the day, even though it was nice, the bread was slightly burnt.

3. We enjoyed our meal, and desert. But had higher expectations given its association with the Merchant Hotel. Additionally, we were served a warm bottle of water without any ice. My wife’s gin had no attention to detail.

4. My fiancé took me here for my birthday dinner and what a lovely night we had. Great atmosphere and a great location, fantastic service and truly delicious food. We were served by an older gentleman with a beard and he was so lovely.

   I had the seafood chowder, and as a big chowder fan, this was easily one of the the tastiest and most distinctive chowders I’ve had. It’s served with chorizo and the cream sauce comes on the side in a little jug, so you can pour on as little or as much as you like, which I loved as I can find chowders to be so heavy sometimes.

   Brilliant experience all round and we will definitely be back to have the lovely chowder again!!

5. We received the most elegant service from Richard, he was so attentive, sweet and polite I honestly don’t think i’ve met such a nice person. We didn’t have a booking but the staff were still able to fit us in, the place had such a good atmosphere with lovely coffee and soup. From the angle of the photo it’s hard to see that it’s a toastie with the soup and not just bread, would highly recommend. We were only in for a quick lunch with some coffees but it was the highlight of our day, we’ll definitely be back!!
