Graze - Reserva de mesa

At Graze on 6 Oct evening , with a friend belated birthday treat restaurant looked great, nice atmosphere, lovely menu. Impressed with the breads and tapenade, starters were also very nice beef noodles and monk fish special , then the problems start…we waited ages between finishing our starter and main, which wasn’t great but ok as we were happy to catch up over our bottle of wine £26 . The mains then arrived 1x monkfish and 1x 10 oz fillet steak special £35 most expensive item on the food menu . I had ordered it medium rare and it arrived medium well. I stopped the senior server/hostess next time she passed by who I understand is part owner along with the chef and explained my steak wasn’t...

I had heard a lot about Graze, the little, well-established restaurant in Ballyhackamore, Belfast. My aunt is a fan, and lunches there regularly. An old friend was over from Edinburgh, so we decided to reserve a table. Last night (Wednesday, 6th September, 2023) was one of the warmest evenings, and I 'm wondering if Graze has air conditioning? There was a large device on the ceiling. At any rate, this little establishment was thriving when we arrived at 7.30pm. We were shown to our two-seater table beside the open-plan kitchen and opted for the Summer Menu. I had Wild Mushroom Tagliatelle as a starter, which was substantial enough as starters go: well presented, interesting, and tasty. My ma...

Disappointed, arrived at 7.25, too late for early bird, excuse given of till not allowing the earlier pricing at this later time, finishes at 7.30, ordered, waited 45 minutes for steak, pasta and fish main course, no service in between, 30 minutes in we asked a member of staff about our order, waitress told us it took 28/29 minutes to process order so this was about right?, honestly?, and staff were down by 30 , waited another 10 minutes, now 40 minutes in, kids pasta came, another 5 minutes until our main courses arrived, no service, no apology, just waiting, we were so hungry at this stage we were happy to get anything. We were right beside the bar/toilet where all the staff congregated, w...

We got a seat late on in the evening, very good for this usually busy establishment. 1st off I felt the entrance, makes you feel stared at as you walk in, no front of house. The service from waiting staff was good, though I am concerned that our seat we could see staff, going out a back door to smoke...didn 't see hand washing thereafter smelt smoke from staff. The food itself was of high quality but not great portion sizes. My scallops were tiny. It 's a shame the steak I had was tasty, well made, but again, accompanying food was off small portions. My partners chicken was cooked well but not seasoned, nor was the champ. She thought the sauce was very watery thin Overall, we enjoyed the tas... Reserva una mesa ahora

Very disappointed…first up the wine list was amateurish, I think someone thinks they are a restaurateur! I remember the story about man who put chocolate in his chilli, yes it has potential if done right… The sales pitch was glorious and we all had bought into this exotic taste experience! Then we tried the chocolate chilli, oh dear,he had convinced himself and us of grandeur cheffing ability or an ability to serve a high standard of taste. Food is trust and that has been broken. Well lets say once we took a mouthful there was a long silence, not of sublime amazement of something unique, but of shock! Yes shock, that the sale pitch tasted better than what was in our mouths…Our Graze experien...

This place used to be at the top of the tree in Ballyhackamore but it’s a completely different experience now compared to pre-covid times. Went with a group of friends for a Christmas lunch….3 courses for 30 odd quid. Started was ok. Main of Turkey and ham was very disappointing. Poor portion, half a plate covered in food with gravy on the other half, nothing particularly great on the half plate. Cheese and crackers for after was nothing short of woeful. Couple of crackers with some slivers of cheddar, that was it. When my friend asked if there was any other cheese due, the waitress was ridiculously poor in responding “the menu clearly states it’s only cheddar” before stomping off. The staff...

Atrocious inedible food for me. My aubergine was so undercooked the fork almost stood upright in it. Drab accompanying vegetables poorly presented and under cooked. I sent it back. My coffee at the end was vile. Burnt and bitter. My husband had steak which he said was almost inedible. Chewy and veiny and a friend had his packed up in a doggy bag. Another friend initially ordered scallops but was told only 2 of 15 in the fridge were fresh and usable. None of our company was really satisfied. The place was expensive and over rated online. As we left staff members were out the back smoking. An utterly underwhelming experience .

We have been going to Graze since it first opened and there are a few guarantees. The first one is that whatever comes out of the kitchen will be excellent. The second is that if you open the door of the restaurant and see Alana standing there you know that you can sit down and relax as you will get looked after as well as if not better than any restaurant in Belfast and I have been to many of them. The combination of fantastic food and such welcoming and friendly service from Alana is why we keep going back to Graze. Reserva una mesa ahora

Thought I would try to support local and went with friends for a Christmas lunch. Worst turkey and ham dinner I have ever eaten. So bland and tasteless. Even the gravy had no taste. I had to pour salt and pepper over it just to make it edible. I have had better turkey and ham in diners for £6 than this place. Will not be back.

Well now we had planed a (what we believed to be a nice Sunday lunch today at 1.15 following an on line booking however when we arrived the place was closed. No explanation given and no phone call answered. Spoiled a good day out. Thanks Graze
