Reviews in Harrogate

Good Indian food is available in lots of places. Especially good Indian food is very, very special. We had that 'special' meal tonight early doors at the beautifully refurbished restaurant. Eating such good food and being able to see three waterfalls is not what you may think of as being too usual. Quality - outstanding. Very fresh ingredients cooked so, so well. Value for money - brilliant. If the whole meal had cost 50% more you would not have begrudged a penny of it. That's not something you often hear a Yorkshire man saying now is it?

Delicious food and great atmosphere! I have been here several times and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

If you want a great Sunday lunch in Harrogate go to William & Victoria Wine Bar on Cold Bath Road. Great value for money, service second to none and lots of atmosphere. Fantastic roast beef and Yorkshire puddings.... yum yum! The place to be on a Sunday.

I visited Damn Yankee not too long ago. I went with my wife and kids. The kids were quite happy running around and the staff didn't seem to mind which was good. They have a kids menu which has a colouring in section. The adults menu was quite large but my wife is a vegetarian and there wasn't much that she was able to have. She eventually settled for a bean burger, which was very oily and over fried...it didn't contain ANY beans but processed broccoli and carrot, which it did not say on the menu. The menu actually specified that it would be a bean burger, which it was not! Very disappointed! When the waitress came over she didn't seem at all bothered that we weren't happy about the meal she actually laughed! I was advised to have the large nachos for myself by one of the waitresses after I tried to order a small one. When I received the nachos they were huge! It could have actually fed my whole family. So I was a bit annoyed I was practically forced into ordering the (more expensive) large one. It would have been nice to have abit of honesty! The restaurant was quite busy when we went and everybody seemed to be crammed in. It felt as though we were sharing a table with the entire restaurant. Every mintue or so one of the many 'big boned' waitresses would push past knocking me. Nearly making me loose my drink. I think that the idea of being able to see the kitchen is very good. Except it's slightly off-putting when the chefs appear to be dirty and sweaty. As you may have already gathered I won't be returning to The Damn Yankee! I have been advised by my friends to try the one in Guisley near Leeds.

After living in the Harrogate area for now close to 20 years, I have tried every pub/restaurant in the area for Sunday lunch. Now having found the Tiger Inn I need look no more. The food was exquisite. My fishcakes actually had fish in them, amazing considering some of the areas best places rarely get this right. My lamb was so tender and tasty, whilst my husband couldn't stop talking about his beef (best he's ever had apparently!). Portions were good and we couldn't fit a dessert in but the table behind us were raving about their cheesecake and apple crumble. The staff were polite and gracious, the landlord was surprisingly young but obviously knowledgeable. The food was well priced and good value for money, the wine list was interesting and surprisingly cheap when compared to other places. If I had one complaint it was that the place was so busy we couldn't get to the bar at the beginning. Besides that, I booked a table for my entire family on Mother's Day before we left. I can't wait!

We have just had an excellent Sunday lunch at the Old Station Inn, which we thoroughly enjoyed and will certainly go back again. As soon as you walked through the door you were made to feel so welcome. The pub itself is a delight, the staff couldn't have been more friendlier, the drinks were spot on and the food was superb. Everything on the menu was homemade and good value for money. Thank you for such an enjoyable lunch time.

This restaurant is consistently considered as one of the best Italians around. Every meal I have had here was excellent. I have never had a mediocre dish yet. Last night I had their ravioli with dolcette and pear filling - what a good dish. There are always new dishes and old standards available. The service is friendly and the customer is made to feel special.

This has to be the worst Sunday Lunch I have ever experienced in my entire 66 years! As an ex-pat Harrogate Yorkshireman I travelled 200+ miles from my present home in Wiltshire eagerly anticipating a traditional Yorkshire "Sunday Dinner" at what I remembered as the best eating establishment for miles around Harrogate. Instead we were treated to a conglomeration of undercooked vegatables of a variety that never existed in my day in combination - courgettes, broccoli and carrots, a helping of mashed potatoes that could have been heaped on a teaspoon, a Yorkshire Pudding that was unrecognisable in all of shape, taste and consistency and most of all, gravy that looked like coloured water and tasted the same. An absolute disgrace for a meal that for a party of six including 2 children and merely nominal drinks cost £70+. This establishment should fire its chef and its present management for allowing such garbage to be served as "food" and for denegrating both traditions of "real" Yorkshire food and of a hostelry renowned in the past.

a 5 star restaurant with a great leaflet boy kieran who interested me in buying your food

great place, food and service tip top, but no decent coffee? why oh why would a good restaurant like this not sell espresso?

Took advantage of the early bird 3 course menu on our short break to Harrogate. Excellent value , food cooked to perfection the sweets were to die for. Would certainly recommend it.

Found this restaurant during our short break to Harrogate. Very authentic pizzeria - Luigi excellent mine host - great welcome. Food fantastic , value fantastic , great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit.

It has been some time since we visited William and Victoria's upstairs restaurant and so were amazed by the transformation! Beautiful decor and the food matched. No wonder Will & Vics was voted Harrogate's favourite restaurant at the 2007 Plush Awards!

A magnificent restaurant, the food is always excellent and of the highest standard. The wine list is just as good. Go back whenever you can.

Unbeatable food. The afternoon tea is superb. Make sure you are given a table on the ground floor, not the basement.

My Girlfriend and I visited the restaurant last weekend and had an exceptional meal. My girlfriend even wanted to write a note to the staff and the chef to say how much she enjoyed her food! We had 2 of the specials which seem to change on a regular basis. Mussels to start and I had the rack of lamb for my main. The wine selection is the best around and the waiting staff are very knowledgeable about the wine selection. The service was also brilliant, we had staff waiting on out every need but without pestering. Would highly recommend a visit here to anyone who likes fine food and fine wine at a very reasonable price.

I have to say having read all these recommendations before I went I was expecting a great night. But I was so so so disappointed with everything about the experience. We went for a family dinner and apart from waiting 20min to get a round of soft drinks, the service was slow, rude and without a smile for the entirety of our visit. But once the food arrived this was the least of our problems. The batter on the fish was flaky, crunchy and dry - the chips were not fresh and I suspect reheated. And £12 for chicken and chips for a 9 year old is ridiculous. I won’t be going back again.

Wow! If you haven't tried it yet, go there now. Turn off your computer, and go there. My wife and I have been there three times, each time trying something new, and each time being amazed. Not a single bad moment. Even went there once with our two young daughters. It's bordering between the average to pricey side.. but in comparison, worth every pound.
