Reviews in Horsforth

Really good food beautifully presented in a lively, buzzy atmosphere. Been looking for a new local since Marinetti’s closed, this could well be it!

Wonderful, delicious and hearty food! We were not disappointed with our first visit to Brontaes, it will definitely not be the last. We LOVED the scallops, pig cheek and chorizo, pan friend hake and blood orange cheesecake. Was really reasonably priced too despite the food being top quality. So excited to have this sort of British restaurant on our doorsteps. We will be back!

There are few restaurants I have been to where I have been made to feel so welcome right off the bat. But Brontae's is one of them! Hospitality at its finest, followed by three stunning courses -- the smoked mackerel pâté (with pea tart and trimmings), the slow-braised Jacob's Ladder (melted in the mouth, no wonder it appears to be a firm favourite among regulars), and the Lemon Cello tart -- I couldn't fault them even if I wanted to. Whether you're local to Leeds or visiting from afar, this is the only restaurant you need to go to.

Overall a lovely experience. A few areas i think will improve over time. Firstly it would have been nice to be offered a drink at the bar as there looked to be lots to choose from but we were taken straight to our table. When asked what we would like to drink we asked for the wine list - but there isn't one - nor a full drinks menu so there was a bit of back and forth over what we wanted. The food was presented in a ornate way and everything looked really appetising. I do think for £10 though the scallop starter should have more than 2 scallops. We all enjoyed the 3 courses that we had and i can certainly recommend the pig cheek starter ! The only disappointing dish was the Blueberry Pana Cotta which had no wobble and little flavour. We will definitely return and for a new restaurant i believe its got loads of potential.

A very pleasant evening at Brontaes. Very relaxed with a clean and fresh dining area. Liked the open view kitchen which also shows a clean fresh facility. The staff were very pleasant and the steak which I ordered was prepared to perfection.

Great service good food

Visited with seven friends for a birthday meal and received excellent service and very good food. Especially enjoyed the herb-encrusted lamb. Worth trying.

I am writing this during my last visit here. The only reason I am here is because I didn't realise that the two-for-one morning coffee deal had ended! I use the Disabled facilities here and they re the filthiest I have ever come across. There is weeks of dirt and dust, often no paper, and it is, frankly disgusting having to use them. The young staff are disinterested. So ,much so that, when I came in this morning - being the only customer, I should add - the girl serving was chatting to her friend. She looked at me, turned away and continued chatting, totally ignoring me, My audacity at daring to say "Excuse me", was met with raised eyebrows and an exchange of looks between the two girls. Pardon me!! There is nothing much positive to say about the place. The food we have had - the fluffy jacket potatoes - has been delicious but a little sparse. Due to the dreadfully poor hygiene and disinterested service, I will now be going to Costa.

I ate here for the first time alst night after hearing mixed comments from friends and family. I have to say it was superb! they were busy with a lot of large tables (possibly graduation dinners) although they were busy the service was still attentive and the food was amazing for the price, £13.50 and i had homemade scotch egg and a huge homemade burger. although sounding simple they were so flavoursome. I would reccomend this place anybody and everybody in and around the leeds area.

Recently visited the Bar 166. Nice , friendly atmosphere. Nice surroundings. Food really nice. I had moules and they were presented just like when I was in France! Staff really approachable and i will totally go again.

20 people came as a group tonight and had a very good time. Nice atmosphere and surroundings. They mainly had the carvery which looked good and they certainly enjoyed it. I had the feta cheese , beetroot and seed salad., which looked sad , limp and looked as if it had stood for some time, it had less than an average small size beetroot on and a very small amount of feta cheese. The waiter gave me another portion of the cheese and beetroot and then it was quite nice. If you are only a carvery then don't offer salad, because people do not wish to eat the meat does not mean they do not have a similar appetite to meat eaters. I would not bring vegetarian salad eating friends to the Woodside again.

Visited this lovely Turkish restaurant on Friday evening, the owner saw me looking at the menu outside and welcomed us in. We had the mixed mezeler starter, more than enough for two people, followed by my favourite Imam Bayildi (fainting priest) everything was delicious The owner came and chatted with us, and after the meal so did the chef, sharing tips with me on how best to prepare Imam Bayildi The restaurant is unlicensed so BYO, we will be back soon

Dear Suedehead, just to let you know that we have reviewed our policy on family dining since your visit, and we are happy to let you know that children are now allowed to eat anywhere in Sandbar, and we can prepare most dishes on the menu in child sized portions! Food is served till 3 pm Mon - Fri, and till 4 pm on Saturdays, but we allow accompanied children in the bar till 6 pm.

Food is good quality and tasty. Excellent value for money. And a decent pint of Copper Dragon.

Really great Indian restaurant - we've been going there for 15 years or more. Excellent food very friendly staff. A must if you like Indian food - try a jaflong.

Visited with a party of nine and was extremely impressed, The service was fast and the food was excellent - I had the Szechuan peppered steak salad, the pan-fried trout and the mango cheesecake, all of which came in perfectly-sized portions and presented beautifully. Will definitely be back.

I have to say i was very surprised by the positive comments on here. I have a different view unfortunately...It was the first (and last) time we had been to Marinetti and were hoping for more...we ordered the tomato bread (pizza) to eat whilst looking at the menu....we both wanted pate (not available) so decided just to order main course.we were still eating the tomato bread when the main arrived and the bread was whisked away, disgraceful!...my friend had chicken mushroom and pasta which to be quite honest could easily have come from a jar.....I had a steak Diane....the steak was beautifully cooked, exactly as I had asked (medium rare) however the sauce was bland to the point of being almost invisible....the vegetables that came with the steak were overcooked......I left most of my meal and the waitresses did comment so I told her the problem which fell on deaf ears, nothing was said so what was the point in her commenting? The restaurant looks rather dated and the toilets are up lots and lots of stairs which is off putting as it is also freezing when you get there...takes you some time to warm up again when you get back to your table......overall I would give this restaurant 2/10 and that is only because the wine was nice and my steak was cooked perfectly

very good
