Four stars, because there's always room for improvement! Deanes at Queen's offers fantastic meals, I personally recomment their mushroom soup, it's amazing. Today I ordered Korean style chicken with salad and wasabi mayonaise as the main meal, and sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream for the dessert. What can I say? The meals were delicious as always! However, in my opinion the music choice might be a bit odd for a high-quality restaurant like this. Jazz, in my opinion, would be a perfect match.

This place was “ok” - nothing notable remarkable or memorable - everything just kind of average or as my daughters would say - mid - Would I avoid - no big recommend - no also

So many people rave about the place. We walked from Donegal St North exploring Belfast as we went. Finally arrived to a rather curt welcome. Thought the food was OK, the service was OK, the ambience OK, but it certainly did not live up to its reputation. Much preferred The Bank in Dublin the day before.

We attended Deanes at Queens on Sunday 4 August whilst visiting Belfast. It had been recommend to us to visit and I’m so glad we did, it was the best meal we had throughout our entire stay! First of all I just want to point out how amazing the staff were with allergens, nothing AT ALL was a problem, they knew the ins and out of every dish and if they didn’t they’d get you an absolute answer from the kitchen and come back to relay that information, rather than the “I think so…” approach, which a lot of other establishments take. The service was effortless on our behalf and faultless on there’s - The staff were a complete breath of fresh air! The food was absolutely some of the finest I’ve ever tasted and worth every single penny! I had - Squid, Lamb & A Chocolate Dessert My partner had - Patè, Lamb & Almond Cake Dessert. I would highly recommend Deanes at Queens and if we are ever in the area again I will most definitely will be attending!

Couldn't fault the service was brilliant, was my birthday dinner, but seriously disappointed my starter was a chunk of bread too much pate to cover half of it and onion. The srarter I wouldn't call this a starter! No dressing, lettuce, looked like it was thrown together... not pleased at at all at Dean's at Queens.... the rest outstanding.

I was at Deanes last Saturday and being gluten intolerant I was a bit worried reading past reviews. However I found it great, 4 of us ate and enjoyed our meals, I got the crispy Seabass and it was cooked to perfection, they swapped the Orzo, which had gluten in it for a range of other options, I went for the champ. I can’t fault any of the meals or the staff and if your are gluten intolerant I would recommend Deanes at Queens, though it can be pricy for lunch.

The place has a Michelin bib gourmand, you might have heard… but it’s resting on its laurels! The food is undoubtedly excellent and there is a good wine selection. However, for a big room they are woefully understaffed and the staff they do have are not professional enough. Plenty of averting eye contact through the night, even when we just wanted to pay and leave, left us quite exasperated.

Quite disappointed in our lunch here today the portions were skimpy especially the scallops and the battered fish was barely half a fillet. The waiting staff seemed disinterested and were unprepared. The maitre ‘d himself was fine and was very helpful over the bill but the rest of the experience was underwhelming and when you’re entertaining people from outside Belfast it didn’t leave a good impression.

An underwhelming experience. We had had an amazing meal at Howard Street the night before and were sorely disappointed which the food and experience at Deanes at Queen's. Food itself was very... Meh. No highlights. The cocktails were okay but nothing to write home about. Everything seemed to have excessive sugar in it, it was all so sweet?! Finally, the service was rushed, lots of waiting around for drinks and servers who seemed overwhelmed or didn't particularly want to be there. One to miss for me.

A wedding present of a voucher sitting on our kitchen shelf for many months and originally we wanted to try another of the Deane restaurants which closed so we rebooked to here for our Night out.. Staff very friendly and couldn’t really fault them . Snacks of Korean chicken bites and Squid were fantastic but the 3 starters we ordered were awful . The Risotto must of been made by a teenager as I originally thought when it arrived someone had ordered porridge …. All lumped together and way over cooked . The crab was….. well more so the biscuit (American style) you get with it …. You can’t lift it as it crumbles , a knife makes it fall apart to just crumbs… a but pointless I thought . The 3rd starter was a blue cheese and pear salad….. now, I hate blue cheese and wouldn’t be fussed on a poached pear hence we ordered the goats cheese salad but alas they wrote it down wrong and delivered something we didn’t want …. I have to say I don’t mind complaining when things go wrong but I would have been there an extra 30 minutes telling them all their food faults so we paid and left without ordering mains … Mr Deane , I can see why your restaurants are closing one by one as for as long as the moon is in the sky I won’t be back near anything in your name.

We had a wonderful dining experience, we were greeted warmly on arrival by the Manager and shown to our table by Conall who was also very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our server was Sandeep who was excellent, along with a lovely blonde lady. My Husband thoroughly enjoyed his sea bass and my steak was tasty (the chips were crispy and delicious) It was a really lovely ambience, dim lighting with candles on the tables and and excellent music selection.

I believe worst food, service and atmosphere in the last few years of visiting Belfast . I have been to a more warm CANTEENS than the atmosphere in Deanes restaurant. Absolutely horrible huge tables that are maybe ok for wedding venues but as far as tables in restaurants go this was a nightmare to try not to make the squicky sound of you trying move the table so you could visit the toilets . Food was beyond, plain and bland . I will never recommend this place to anyone . There is so many other places in Belfast that you could spend your money . Avoid.

We celebrated our daughter's Christening at Deanes last Sunday with 23 guests including several children. Everything was perfect - the seating, service, and food was all 5*. Sandeep was a standout and made sure everyone had the correct order and our glasses were always full. We brought a cake and it appeared on its own table with serving knife and side plates which was much appreciated. Sandeep also helped us serve it along with tea and coffee after dessert. All of our guests enjoyed their meal from start to finish; I can't recommend Deanes highly enough!

Food is OK, service is excellent and the atmosphere is nice. The markup on drinks is exhorbitant. Unlikely to visit again, as there are plenty of other restaurant choices that have better food for similar money and that have way less expensive drinks. Watch the bill too, it already includes a service charge, which I hadn't noticed until I had already paid, tipped and left the restaurant. The staff at this restaurant are very professional, courteous and efficient and are a credit to the establishment.

Front of house made me feel extremely unwelcome. My wife and I were really looking forward to a treat. We didnt get it. Not a word spoken by front of house. We were I. And out in half an hour. What an awful experience, considering this is apparently Michelin starred. Atmosphere zero, customer service zero, food was average. Roast beef dinner I could have made myself. When I go out, I expect good customer service, decent food and to walk away having enjoyed the experience. This was none of these. I’ll never be back. Awful experience.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression as the saying goes and my first impression was awful. My wife and I arrived, informed the girl with shoulder length bob of our booking for 7pm, apologising for being 10 minutes early. She rolled her eyes, no welcome, not a word said, grabbed menus and walked to a table.. I’ve honestly never experienced such an unwelcome experience in my life, which jars with me even more when I see some Michelin awards on the wall. It’s most certainly not for hospitality. We were in and out in half an hour. No joke. What an awful experience. Food was just OK. The fact we stopped at McDonalds on our way back to the Titanic Hotel says all you need to know. My wife and I have low expectations. We were just glad to get out for the night. We were really looking forward to what we thought would be a real treat. This was our first (and last) time at Deanes. I’ve often seen Michael Deane on local television talking about the importance of supporting local business. The fact that he was only a few tables away with his family and even that doesn’t inspire his staff to provide excellent service is beyond me. My wife is still angry at the way we were treated. We won’t be back.

It was more of open face sandwich with some greens candy fries. Good nonetheless.

I regularly dine at this restaurant. I love the location, ambience and staff. The food is always nicely presented and full of flavour. It is one of the best restaurants in Belfast though this visit was more expensive that I would have previously paid. I appreciate it is impact of the cost of living rises but the bottles of wine are cost prohibitive and the steak feels expensive at £37. I will return but I might have to order less.

We love Deanes at Queens for Sunday dinner and today didn’t disappoint. I had salt chilli squid starter - gorgeous- he had the mushroom soup- such a depth of flavour, amazing! We both had roast beef served pink which was beautiful with all the roast dinner additions- roasties, Yorkshire puddings, carrot and parsnip mash and buttered cabbage. No room for dessert! Yes - the venue is showing its age and deserves a refurb. The restrooms were not as clean as usual. We were sited st the window and the outside area was full of cigarette butts- it really needs a deep clean. I really hope that after the closure of deane and Decano on the Lisburn road that this branch is not grinding to a close too? Love the food - service is perfect- please keep it going!,

This was the worst service I have encountered. This was not due to the serving staff who were uniformly friendly and helpful. It was only when I went to pay that the trouble started. My gift voucher was not accepted and I was forced to pay the bill without it. One of my chief reasons to vist Deanes was to use the gift voucher. I was told by the manager that there was nothing he could do because there was a glitch in the system. Surely the minimum that good customer service demanded was that the manager could override the system and sort the problem later. To compound the problem, when I tried to contact the number (at 11:15 on Monday) that the manager gave me I received a voicemail asking me to call back during working hours (9:00am to 5:00pm)

Usual staff very professional.. However keeping 1pm diners outside until the 1pm on the dot not really very professional in my view rather than using the foyer area as waiting zone A very inexperienced waitress who didn't appear to be remotely interested in her customers..Bordered on non chalant in manner perhaps No Sprite! Only two small lemonades left. Couldn't facilitate a large plate being made as a small plate . Totally misinterpreted( by waitress) what was being asked. No problem though making a small plate into a large plate! Pannacotta drenched in sauce and inedible. Could not do 1/2 shot Cappuccino! I advised waitress it was never a problem before as I am a regular diner. She didn't respond. How disappointing as a regular customer. Suggest training for the young waitress a priority as really just not up to the MD standard . I advised her for transparency that I would be reviewing but she appeared non plused instead of inviting me to chat to a senior person privately to close it down professionally as it should have been.

We paid £35 for a tiny sirloin steak which was full of fat, but discussed by the copious amounts of sauce that they covered it in.

Our family of five all enjoyed our meals at Deanes and Queens. Atmosphere is more modern than homey, but food is outstanding. Some of the most amazing food was from the starters menu, especially the chowder, risotto, and the beet hummus. All great. The bartender...

Dreadful experience We are a big fan of Deans Love Fish - so had high expectations for Deans at Queens. What a disappointment. Arrived early to get a drink at the bar before going to the table. From the moment we walked in it felt like we were "fighting" with the restaurant. Two waiters pushed past us as we entered rather than welcoming us in, we were pointed at two seats in front of the bar rather than being shown to the seats, we had coats piled up around us, sat waiting, had to ask for a drink, had to ask again for a drink, had to ask for someone to check up on the drinks. Two uninspiring cocktails arrived after 15mins. We took a sip and just as we did another waiter came over to tell us the table was ready. Allowing us a moment to swallow, we were taken to our table - with us carrying our drinks, bags and coats. We were advised to leave the coats and they would be dealt with. Sat and browsed the menu. Menu looked good. Ordered another cocktail along with food and wine. Wine arrived straight away, then some time later cocktails and starters both arrived at same time. Not what we had in mind I asked that we be allowed some time to enjoy the drinks and that the starters were taken away. Waiter started to argue but in the end took them away. All went (further) downhill from there. Mains arrived. Brill overcooked, Rigatoni vile. Spoke to the manager at the end and asked that 10% service was removed from the £135 bill. He asked if I would explain why - but didn't let me explain - he jumped in after the first comment and told me that I was wrong and that they were busy. At which point I couldn't get out fast enough If you want average food and average service for a high price - sure - come and enjoy. If you want great food and a memorable evening, go to Deans Love Fish (or James St)

This is probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my entire life. I had the calves liver medium rare. I can’t stop talking about it!

Not being a big Abba fan I was not expecting to be fully entertained by this show but went along because some friends wanted to go. Firstly, the food was excellent and justified the price of the ticket on its own. The singers were really good and kept us laughing and singing along the whole time. High drinks prices inflated the final bill somewhat but it was on balance a great experience and one I'd repeat if I'm ever in bonny Belfast again.
