The Knife Fork Grill Deli - Belfast

Right where should I start. So we were given a living social voucher as a gift, I don't usually expect much from these vouchers and our expectations are not high plus we aren't fussy eaters, but it clearly states on the voucher that we could pick starter up to £6.50 and main up to £16 from the a la cartè menu, sat down and was given a very limited menu, when I queried this, the waiter did go and ask his manager and the answer was just no it was only the menu we were given that we were allowed to choose from which clearly isn't the a la cartè. Usually in advance before dining somewhere I like to look at the menu online so I know roughly what I would like but due to the limited choice in starters i ask if it was possible if we can swap it for a dessert instead which resulted was another trip to the manager again for his approval. For mains we had sirloin steak with chips and pepper sauce, this was the most blandness steak I ever had in a restaurant, usually the pepper sauce helps but that was tasteless too, ended up adding loads of pepper and salt on both for some flavour, now the only good thing about the steak that it was cooked to doneness I requested for. Our friends who gave us the voucher said it was nice but it was pretty disappointing to be honest, we weren't impressed at all with the food. Service was good though the guys were polite and friendly.

We ate here as part of a deal with Malone Lodge and would not have felt short changed if we had paid what we paid for food and lodging just for the food. Everything about the meal the options, the service and the food itself was simply first class. Recommended without reservation.

We go to the restaurant for a treat but my lamb shank turned out to be a very average lamb shank stu in the menu says with potato but unfortunately there was none i can make better then this at my own home rather than get overly priced stu £18? U having a laugh right??? Another meal was sirloin steak believe me u get nothing for £25 with that price u expect more on the plate nothing special for a £25 steak child’s chicken Goujons was overly cooked although they weren’t homemade they were from frozen packet i can see that and the waiter was serving food over my head despite serving from side of the table where is more room and would’ve been comfortable for me. Overall VERY DISAPPOINTED trust me you will not see me AGAIN. Tell your manager to take health and sefety issue seriously by covering kitchen stuff’s hair and beard including the head chef.

The food was average but the service a little below average. They forgot one person's starter with no apologies.

I had a very enjoyable dinner here, food excellent, staff very friendly and attentive.I was dining alone and loved the atmosphere in the restaurant and really good vibe.
