Reviews in Harrogate

Eeee Bye .... can tell tha's in Yorkshire Greeted by the acrid hue of burning chip fat and barely able to view the menu through the smoke I identified the word 'Cheeseburger' and ordered. The lady said 'would you like a bread roll with that?' Puzzled I replied 'yes please'. 'That'll be 55 pence' she says!! Just for clarity, I set out the definition of 'Cheeseburger' with the Oxford Dictionary: cheeseburger 'noun a beefburger with a slice of cheese on it, served in a bread roll.'

I recently went for a meal at the Tannin Level and found it very disappointing having heard great things. The woman who appeared to be head of front of house was faultlessly friendly and charming, however i found some other members of staff to be far too snooty (imagine a sketch show french waiter). The menu reads beautifully and I expected great things, despite the idiotic spiel at the beginning- a run down of the restaurants domestic affairs which would be fine for a country pub but would probably still leave me questioning why I need to know the name of the KP. The fish i received was over cooked and the accompanying vegetables were dried out, i would really not be surprised to find that both were cooked in a microwave, and i was not shocked to see the chef walking through the restaurant twice as he had obviously not spent a great deal of time of my food. As is apparent from the other reviews, i may have caught the restaurant on an off day, as i can not see how such sterling reviews could have been mustered if the place was consistently this bad. Good luck to all it's future diners is all i can say, I'll be leaving it for a few years before take two (hopefully there will be a new chef by then!).

We had a superb meal at Graveleys this week. Even my wife enjoyed it and she doesn't usually like fish. The mussels starter are succulent and the Haddock is the best i have ever had anywhere. The wine list is carefully chosen and not overpriced and the selection of sweets made me (a diabetic) massively envious of the spouse.

We came across this restaurant by accident when walking back to our (very disappointing) hotel in Harrogate. This was the highlight of the weekend though; fantastic quality food with a real taste of Italy, as opposed to the usual cheap anglo/american version of the food. The cheese on the pizzas was real mozzarella (can't eat cows milk) so a fantastic find for me! A wonderful atmosphere, fantastically attentive staff and real attention to detail. Can't praise it enough.

Been many times and never disappointed, just love it. they are so professional in every way. Excellent food and service. Struggle to book now, so won't say any more!!

Based on a recommendation from some friends, I recently took my family to Luigi's restaurant for my daughters 15th birthday and it was perfect. There were 9 of us and we got a lovely big table in the window. There was something on the menu for everyone - even the kids! and Luigi was happy to alter the portion sizes and some of the ingredients in one meal as my mother can't have cream. The service was really good and we were never left looking around trying to get someones attention. When the desserts came Luigi personally sang to my little girl and got the whole restaurant involved, she felt like a princess and it really made her day. When the bill came I prepared myself for a shock but there was no need as it was very reasonably priced - great value for money. And there was no service charge. I would definitely go back there and I always give Luigi's number if anyone wants an authentic italian restaurant.

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever dined in. Over the past few years I have gone there often and never had a bad meal or bad experience. The staff are excellent - friendly, helpful and efficient and the food is always delicious with a good choice of menu, well presented dishes and very good quality ingredients, cooked by experts. The icing on the cake is the cost of the meal, which is extremely good value. I can't rate this too highly and would recommend it to anyone.

very disappointed, from the bouse, to the very cold cheese, at 2 rossette standard a complete let down, service and room was excellent, otherwise very ordinary and over priced.

Have experienced today possibly the worst meal I have had this year. As a regular visitor to Rudding the service and quality of food today left a lot to be desired. The parsnip soup starter was average, then I was brought a roast beef dinner even though I had ordered a cauliflower and blue cheese charlotte with root vegetables. The staff disappeared and 5 mins later brought the most disgusting mush of cauliflower in a fried bread tower with an oily stack of potatoes. needless to say it was sent back and i waited for cheese and biscuits. We didn't pay for this meal, the staff were stressed and some were not qualified to work in a restaurant of this nature. Not the usual standard and I hope the kitchen and management get their act together ASAP!

If you want 'posh' fish and chips then this is the place to be seen!! We travelled all the way from Queensland in Australia and had dinner here one night in late September 2009 and we were not disappointed and it was well worth the journey. The Haddock was cooked to perfection with just the right firmness and the batter was crisp, golden and not at all oily or greasy. Chips were also your normal fresh fare. The curry sauce was nice and spicy without being too hot and the mushy peas were good. Hats off to the team at Graveley's the 2 elder gents dressed in colourful waistcoats and we were made to feel most welcome. Don't go here in your dress downs as you will feel out of place as all the customers were dressed up on the night we were here, you could almost smell the aroma of money in the restaurant. If Graveley's want to expand to Australia I want to be part of the action!!!!

This is a real family friendly place, great food, fab service and not overly pricey

I love this place! It's great for a group night out or for taking the kids if they're a little bit older. It's an entertainment and a meal all in one!

The Orchid has long been a firm favourite, it's a really great atmosphere with fabulous food and friendly staff. I would recommend this restaurant for couples, groups or families with older children. A bit pricey but it's well worth it.

Hey what can you say about Luigis?! Fab place full of atmosphere and Luigi is such a character. Food is excellent and typically Italian, not a bad price but make sure you book in advance.

I would say it's the best place to eat in Harrogate, upstairs or down. David and his team look after you, the food is superb and a it's a great place to meet your friends and colleagues over a meal and good bottle of wine (or two!!)

We visited the wine bar for lunch today and had moules mariniere and seabass which were fabulous. We are never disappointed with William and Victoria's in Harrogate. Great service with a smile and delicious food...... what more do you want?

Found Vivido by accident, my husband and I stopped there. Very clean, very friendly & attentive & helpful staff. Food was excellent, loved the garlic bread!. Price was reasonable. No wonder it is named the winner of Best Mediterranean Restaurant Award 2009. Superb.
