Burger tasted like it was a frozen patty, had absolutely no seasoning, and was VERY overcooked, dry like bad fast food. The tiny bit of pulled pork on top provided the only flavor. Side Caesar salad was less "dressed with Caesar dressing" than "drowned in mayonnaise that a garlic clove has been waved near" (which may just be a UK thing? It's happened before). Appetizer tiger prawns were bland and under-seasoned. Beer was good and servers were nice, but would never recommend eating here.

Great food and incredible service. Plenty of distanced tables with options to reserve.
Food is always fresh, full of flavour and warm!
Service is welcoming, friendly and very efficient even when busy.
Recently added outdoor bubbles which can be booked. About 8-10 seats with blankets and lights. Would make a fun evening in these darker nights.

Staff very obliging. We sat outside, a table under the umbrella and ate our meal and we had a view of the river however when a table became available in the river terrace a staff member came and escorted our small group to a table there. Most ate a Caesar salad which was very nice, while I had a steak burger which was nice too but not above average. I would try something different next time. A nice venue for a meet up with friends.

Had a lovely sunday lunch here for I had to go off to work. For starters we had the steamed mussels in homemade tomato and chilli broth served with bread and also the sauteed chilli and lime prawns served with garlic bread. Both didn't last very long as they were beautiful.
For mains I went for the roast beef. This was served with mash, carrots, brocolli, gravy and quite possibly the biggest Yorkshire pudding I have ever seen. Another great meal and really set me up for the day. The other half went for the chargrilled chicken stack served on a brioche bun. It was topped with smoked bacon

Cutters Wharf is a nice wee place just on the side of the river, which gives it a great view. Cant complain really. Food was decent, I did only have the chicken caesar salad, so there isn't much that can go wrong. Everyone else I was with (party of 12) seemed to really enjoy the food too! Service was very slow, but apart from that, pretty good.
I Reckon this place would be great in the summer as it has a nice beer garden looking over the Lagan, with gas heaters on the deck. Probably be back here when the sun comes out.

I ate at Cutters wharf with a group of fellow students after we had an exam in Stranmillis College. While the location along the riverbank is lovely and to sit out on a nice day is great, the food could have been better. I had standard fish and chips and found that it was all batter and the fish seemed overcooked. Nice interior and decent place to go for a few drinks on a nice day, but there are a lot of restaurants around Stranmillis road or Ormeau road that would be better for food

Cannot wait for the summer sun (which I'm sure we will get for at least 1 day in belfast) To get back to Cutters Wharf! One of the best beer gardens in Belfast. Can't beat sitting by the river with a nice cold pint and relaxing in the friendly atmosphere! food is a little pricier than some similar places but as they say you get what you pay for! The barbecues are always a big hit too!

One of the most horrible meals I've ever had was in Cutter Wharf - truly yuk. Not impressed with the wine selection either. It does have popular riverside & outside seating which is busy in the summer months. However after trying the bar a few times & being dissatisfied with the drinks, service & atmosphere - I can definitely say I will never return.

The worst thing about this place is it is probably the best place to go for a beer in Belfast when the sun is shining. The reason that is a problem is it becomes like Chavfest (no such thing exists except in my mind!). All the dirty monkeys who think they are more than what they are rock up in their TK Maxx sunglasses and look around to see who is looking at them like narcissistic meerkats. Don't get me wrong I like a nice pair of sunglasses and a well-heeled crowd but this place attracts the try-hards.
Drinks selection is poor, staff are okay. Very odd interior. I am not an interior designer

I think I like this bar. It infuriates me somewhat. You see it is located brilliantly, overlooking the Lagan river, and you can see the nearby rowing club going up and down, making an effort while you sit there with a pint of guinness and feel marginally guilty.
Yet perhaps it is just the location that makes this a place worth visiting. If it were set somewhere in the city centre, I can't imagine many people going. The place is similar I found to that of like a hotel lounge bar.
The staff unfortunately don't smile and seemed almost bored by their lack of custom. It is a great shame

I never really went to this pub when I was a student just because it was a bit down the Stranmillis Road and I was never really down that way, prefering to stay around the main student area of Botanic Avenue.
But a little bit older with a bit more money in my pocket I have went to this bar a few times and I like it. On a sunny day there isn't really anywhere better because you can sit outside by the water and watch athletic types row up and down the lagan as well as enjoy the lovely summer air. I went on a date here and it was an excellent environment to chat and enjoy a bit of one on one

They come in their droves to this river-side establishment when the sun is out. It's in a fantastic location, and really makes the most of it, with lots of outdoor seating, sun parasols and patio heaters arranged outside for everyone's comfort. But inside, although it's modern and swanky looking, the attitude of the staff leaves a little to be desired. The crowd can be a bit 'poncy' too, but no harm in them - you just get the feeling they can look down thier noses at others. We went after a table quiz one night, and it was mental busy, took absolutely AGES to get served
