Stix and Stones Restaurant in Belfast

   Bad steak experience… though I really do feel like this was a one-off as this restaurant came very highly recommend to me by trusted sources! We requested our steaks be cooked by the chefs rather than on a hot plate at the table (I don’t want to go out for dinner and have to cook my own food), to which the staff were more that happy to accommodate - they did give us the option after all. We waited quite a while (maybe 35 mins) for our food to arrive, but it was busy and we hadn’t booked so fair enough. The steaks were very chewy and hard to swallow which we raised with the waiter who offered us a new steak immediately - we declined and had free dessert instead. Can’t fault the staff or the vibes, just bad luck on the steak front. Dessert was tasty and the starters too.

   Lovely restaurant for family and friends. The environment allows for you to have great conversations even in the midst of a large group. The location is also in the heart of Belfast city centre making it accessible for ease of transportation.

   For all my jokes and upon reflection, this place was very good! The steak was very tender, mash and cabbage were buttery and indulgent and chips (for their size) were nice and crispy! I understand that part of the appeal of this place is that you finish your steak how you like on the hot stone. But for me, paying £70 for the chateaubriand, I would’ve liked the option for the chef to have cooked it for us. I would’ve like a bit of butter or oil, to assist with the cooking but other than that, jt was perfectly fine. It does get very hot, very smoky and you do leave smelling of steak

   Best steak I’ve ever had! Ordered a medium rare 8oz fillet and it was cooked to perfection. The pepper sauce is a must to pair with your steak, it’s exquisite. The tiramisu, to die for. Great service as well provided by Adam who made the experience that the more memorable. The head chef, Kieran, even personally came out to thank my compliments for what was an all round fantastic meal.

   What a fun experience, cooking the steak on a hot stone. All the food was delicious but the baked Alaska was my absolute favourite. Will definitely be back again.

   We had the best Valentines Day meal here. The staff were lovely, the service was excellent and the food was superb. We opted for the hot stone steak, which was a wonderful experience and the steak just melted in our mouths. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

   This is a MUST for dinner in Belfast!! If you like steak, definitely try steak on the stone - the steak is a thick cut. We cut the steak into thinner pieces and placed them back on the hot stone to cook further. It was so fun and delicious. We ordered the 3 course. The mussels appetizer was delicious, my husband got the wings. And the sticky toffee pudding, oof let’s just say it was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had! Just an FYI, the server asked us what sauce we wanted. We both ordered sauce not realizing it was at an additional cost. It would have been nice to know it wasn’t included but not a huge deal.

   The food here is amazing. Your steak arrives rare and you can cook it to your own taste on the hot stone. Definitely a unique and enjoyable experience. Makes for a nice change from your typical restaurant. My only gripe was the wait times. It’s hard to judge this as we went over Valentines weekend and I understand that many businesses are having a hard time with COVID-related absenteeism. We had a three course meal and were there for around 2.5 hours. Mostly waiting on someone to take the orders and to get the bill at the end. Maybe if you could order/pay online? You had to scan a QR code to get the menu up but once you decide what you want you are at the mercy of the waitstaff. With that said, once your order was taken the food came out quickly. I don’t mean to be disrespectful to the staff at all. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Just feels like they could have done with people working. The place was fully booked and she had to cover a lot of tables.

   The Surf N Turf Menu on Mondays is a very good deal. I ordered a Salt Aged Sirloin Steak with Mussels and a side of Cajun Home Fries. The waitress advised to remove the steak from the stone plate first and cook it as you eat but mine ended up overcooked. I still really enjoyed my steak and the fries but the mussels were very poor quality. Last but not least, I ordered a Dark Chocolate Tart for dessert which was rich and tasty but the texture was too solid for my liking.

   Super nice place. I was really impressed by the staff that was so friendly and supportive. They were happy to explain the dishes and to satisfy your request. Food was superb as well! The steak we have got was unbelievable so I definitely recommend the place!
