The Devenish Complex — Restaurant in Belfast

Update 24.07.2021: Since the big revamp which must have cost a fortune, the service has changed... it's got even worse. The food was barely edible & the 'cold' drinks were warm & flat. The waitress was notified about the drinks & said that they were warm because they weren't kept in the fridge so she'd put more ice in the glass next time which isn't much use when the drink is still warm. After my second warm drink was brought to me the waitress noticed we weren't enjoying our meal but she carried on to avoid conflict. 40 minutes passed & nobody had come near us. As before all the staff congregated in the corner beside the pizza kitchen & us fired dirty looks. Long story short they've spent a lot of money on the scenery & not the service & opted for quantity over quality. If you ignore this & want to waste your money then don't sit on left side bays on a sunny day or you'll be blinded (see attached photo)

Pre Covid visit: Service is super slow, cocktails are hit & miss depending on who makes it. Staff do their best to ignore you so they can hide behind there wee counter in the corner and sit on their phones. Toilets are to far away from the restaurant, like they spent all that money on the new place and couldn't be bothered putting in toilets for the restaurant separate from the bar. Too many tv screens everywhere and too loud. Burnt...

This complex has a very good gym (GymCo), bar (Devenish) and diner/restaurant (Harley's).

The owners arrange good events for families at Halloween and Christmas (and probably other events which I'm not aware of) which has to be commended. The car park can be busy at peak times.

The bar was redeveloped a few years ago and is very impressive now. The layout is more open, decor and furniture are very modern, making this a bar that you would want to go to.

I have to agree with other comments on the level of noise from the live music. It's great if you're out for the night but not so good if you're in the adjoining restaurant. Conversation is difficult over the noise which easily penetrates the dining area.

Nonetheless the restaurant is great, the American style menu is comprehensive and staff are friendly.

The gym is exceptional. Staff are so happy and friendly. There is a large range of machine and free-weight equipment as well as treadmills, cross trainers and...

Been to the Devenish restaurant many times (2/3 times a month) but have to say the last few times have been ridiculous for waiting on food. It got to the point today we paid for our starters and left! Arrived and sat at our table at 5.30, and had a starter, coming on 7pm and still waiting on our mains but no sign and the restaurant was near empty. A couple sat at table nxt to us were waiting as long and looking fed up also! Called waitress who apologised and spoke to the manager who did absolutely nothing but apologise also so we left! The kitchen seems to be a massive problem, watched the young pizza guy pace up and down as if he had nothing to do (pizza was one of our mains!) Watched the manager give off about cold food and threw it in the bin! Clearly something needs to be done before you lose more customers, we...
