First time here. Wow and I mean wow! Was over in Belfast depositing the girl child to uni. Had some time to kill early afternoon before flight back so came upon Mr Deane's and thought I'd try it. I wasn't exactly in smart casual, so was a bit apprehensive about fitting in. The staff were friendly and attentive. I was offered tap water straight away and had a non alcoholic beer while choosing. Had the salted squid for starters followed by scallop pasta. both were absolutely beautiful. Even though I was on my own I didn't feel out of place. Thought I'd spoil myself with a sticky toffee pudding which was fantastic. Only two issues that I'd highlight: 1. Ordered side portion of greens which didn...
Sadly not for me quite a sterile environment for somewhere claiming to be ‘relaxed’ Staff uniforms are awful they look like little school boys in basic white shirts black trousers no aprons no waistcoats etc looks cheap unfinished Service hit miss as with other reviews my friend had to request the ‘early bird’ menu then was told we needed to hurry up as it finishes soon note we had been sitting unserved since 6pm!!! Didnt get to have dessert or coffee as service was too slow and we were heading to a show My chicken was tasty enough from the a la carte menu and my friends ordered from set early bird menu portions small on a massive plate ‘fish goujons’ were awful I have seen better frozen fis...
I had booked a table for 1800.It was a Friday evening. I arrived at 1750 and were shown to our table. We were given a food and drinks menu. 20 minutes later someone came and asked if would like a drink. Drinks were ordered as was the food. The drinks came quickly. The first course was small but tasty. (Liver Pate). Main course was prawn risotto (Large ... which wasn't) Dessert was sticky toffee pudding. (good portion size and very flavoursome). Bill paying time... We noted on the menu an early bird option 2 courses for £19.97 HOWEVER to have this early bird menu you as a customer have to ask for the other menu (which at no time had ever been mentioned). When paying for the meal I spoke to th...
Now a Bistro Mr Deanes. love Fish has been rebranded. Only reopened last week but I must say everything was 100% Food. We shared the tempura prawns with a delicious sauce. The batter was so light top marks for this starter I ordered the scallops with a tomato risotto. Scallops cooked beautifully and the tomato risotto had so much flavour a dish I have never had before but will definitely have again. My friend had the fish and chips set on a bed of pea puree. Fish again batter so light and delicious fish. Chips crunchy and v tasty Unfortunately we did not have time for dessert Hopefully next time We had a glass of Pinot and a Sauvignon which went beautifully with our food Love the new menu St...

Came here for the 60 pound tasting menu. From the moment we walked through the door, till the moment we left, we had never experienced such polite, informative, warm and professional staff. They really made my birthday that little bit more special. Myself and my partner don't eat lamb but this was not a problem in the slightest and we chose a dish from a different menu. The chestnut pasta that we chose from the vegetarian menu, was a fantastic replacement. The food spoke for itself. Everything was perfect. Although I have to say the desserts made it for me. I have never tasted anything like the lemon curd dessert before. Absolute heaven. Being a pastry chef myself, and have eaten A LOT of de...
We were looking forward to eating in the rebranded Mr Deans , I had the worst fish I have had in Ireland, it was quite tasteless , served with sloppy creamed potatoes and a few meagre strips of seaweed. My husband had asked for his peppered steak rare and spoke in French to the French waiter to make sure he understood . Sadly it arrived overcooked and when he said to the manageress she said because it was served with pepper sauce it cannot come pink!! The waiter did apologise and offered my husband a complementary dessert , which in no way compensated for what was to be a special evening out out for two people. The carafe of wine was basic, the meal price was extortionate for terrible qualit...
Food fabulous!!! And the service superb!!! I have never experienced the professionalism of how this restaurant accommodated my food intolerances. I was speechless!! Thank you!! Hats off to mrDeanes, 11 out of 10.
Food could not be faulted but staff did not engage at all, was our 54th wedding anniversary, no opportunity to mention that all felt slightly robotic. Been going her over many years but maybe done…

After a disappointing greeting at Darcy’s (truly awful)wedding ended up at Mr Deanne’s for lunch. Great service, great food and lovely welcoming atmosphere.
Excellent lunch, highly recommend. Lots of gluten free options for coeliac with separate gluten free fryers and homemade GF batter.
