was treated to a late birthday meal here by my better half. we arrived slightly early and were shown to the bar area to sit in comfort for a pre dinner drink with apologies for our table not being quite ready (even though our fault for being early). We were then taken through to our table by a very polite and attentive waitress who gave us the time and space to make our orders. The food was as you would expect absolutely amazing and the portion size was in my mind the exact right amount (none of this micro portions). I can highly recommend the Scallops starter and the Monkfish main course. We felt the pricing was also spot on for the standard of the food and quality of service. As an additio...
Food well cooked and tasty enough. But for a tapas menu in the wine bar, unimaginative and left wanting. Maybe they do this to introduce you to the other menu in the main restaurant, which we did and found portion control to be a tad too extreme. Price point was a tad gougey for the food. On the upside, a decent enough wine list which showed some imagination and wasn't gougey. Probably wouldn't go back, other than for a glass of wine as there are far too many other places in Belfast offering good imaginative food at the right price point. On aside, Does Michael Deane love himself of what??? The decor showed nothing but images and portraits of himself. Even row upon row of empty bottles of a...
Had a late lunch last week, not our first time dining here and I had always meant to set up a TA account so congratulations on receiving my first review! Late afternoon so wasn’t busy, service was good, polite and courteous staff. Went for the bread starter (two shared between five of us and the squid main (beautiful with the Bailey’s panna cotta for dessert. Food was served promptly and my only tiny gripes are that there wasn’t enough of the squid (me being greedy but make sure to get a side if you’re hungry which was delicious and the panna cotta could have had more Bailey’s (I jest . Will always recommend Deane’s and look forward to dining in one of your restaurants again very soon :
We spend a nice evening at Deanes Deli. Although the food was lovely and everything we needed after a great day on the road, the service was so poor. We were ignored when we walked in (we had made a reservation), not walked to our seat but pointed out from the door, we ordered cocktails and they were put on our table without letting us know which one was which. So I had to ask another waiter what was in front of us. When they took the plates from the starters they did not ask if we had enjoyed it. Same with the mains. When we had the bill the waiter was standing over us while we were putting money down. It felt weird.

As usual our choice from the lunch menu was really tasty haddock, risotto linguine. Unfortunately this is now the second time I have been here in recent times when the service has been poor. Other than when we were seated, we had to try and get the attention of the staff on 3 occasions, firstly to order our lunch and then a further 2 times to order drinks. Staff were scarce on the floor and appeared to be under pressure.
Had lunch here while on pre Christmas visit to Belfast. We were welcomed by friendly staff and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very good. Our food was very good and service was excellent. As we were on a tight time schedule we were assured we would we out within an hour so service was prompt we had time to spare. The restaurant is close to city centre and definitely worth a visit.
Visited yesterday. Table booked for 5pm. Good attentive staff. I ate from the pre theatre menu which of course is limited but had what I wanted. Risotto was delicious as was the dessert. My husband ate from main menu and thoroughly enjoyed his burger and pannacotta. Great atmosphere. Our second visit and we will definitely be back.
Good range of menu items; Good food (we had monk fish and blade of beef) both were good dishes and value-for-money portion sizes. Nice, comfortable modern venue enhanced by friendly staff and attentive but non-intrusive service ..We were made to feel welcome and valued customers. We will definitely return.
