Reviews in Horsforth

Booked in for a special celebration & turned up to find tge restaurant closed - no notification of cancellation or closure & paid a deposit, tried to phone the number provided which provided no help

Really enjoyed the meal while celebrating a 50th birthday which was made special at the end of the meal with an extra touch on the dessert. The only suggestion I would make would be to cut down on the honeycomb with the black treacle tart as it became apparent that it was a very chewy combination!

Got a drink at bar when we arrived, great service although they didn't have my preferred drink but had Pimms, non of the staff knew how to make Pimms! Therefore bit of a wait! Starters were perfect, main meals we very average, we visit again to try the different meals!

What an absolute treat. I will be visiting again for sure. AMAZING The best food 10/10

The food was delicious and really nicely presented. Staff were very friendly and professional. The only negative for me is the bar area. We decided not to have a pre-dinner drink as it felt a bit like a dentist's waiting room. Simple decor can be nice, but for me it just needs a bit of something ', interesting'.

My wife and I booked on Saturday evening for our first visit to Brontae’s. What an experience! We were seated right in front of the kitchen (side by side) which gave us the opportunity to observe the chef at work. He was without his sous chef so had to do everything himself for a room full of diners. He was unflappable and never stopped smiling and chatting to the guests and his staff - no shouting or swearing in this kitchen!! The food was incredible. Pork cheek and tuna fish cakes were our starters followed by the duo of chicken and duck. Every dish was full of flavour and the portions were also very generous. The wine list was short and simple and our bottle of rose as good as any we have tasted. We had the best evening in a long time and without question, will be back again soon. We could not recommend this place more and so pleased it’s so close to home!!

Wonderful staff, amazing food, great venue! Literally can’t wait to go back!

We were not disappointed having read all the recent 5 star reviews. The food, was very tasty, well presented and ingredients perfectly matched. We were the only diners at a 5 o clock sitting taking advantage of the £30 three course menu. Staff were attentive and entertaining.

It was our second visit to the restaurant and the food and service were excellent. Very high quality and we both really enjoyed our meals. The service staff are very pleasant & helpful too. Although it was a Saturday evening, the restaurant was only available for bookings up to 7 pm which seemed a bit odd. Also it is a shame to see the bar area so empty as it could be really nice but seems to be lacking in atmosphere & a bit of warmth. From the outside, it is difficult to see if it is open or not. I guess it’s better that the star attraction i.e the food is first class and the restaurant is a welcome addition to Horsforth.

Staff was very welcoming on arrival.The food was amazing we was there for our Anniversary meal.We will be coming back soon.Looking forward to the new menu

Absolutely beautiful. So far the best place we’ve eaten since we moved in Leeds. Food was amazing, very good customer service , nice crisp clean place We loved it and we will definitely coming back

I went with my wife and our two boys (11 and 13). They dealt with a weird lighting problem with no fuss. They reached out when my youngest was having a fussy moment and solved it brilliantly. Lovely manner with him while doing this. The starters we v popular, including big white laudits for the tomato soup. The pig cheek was really light and nicely thought out. My Duck was intense and we’ll sauces. The tuna and gnocchi dishes were really well put together. Portions possibly even a bit big for those two? Desserts relatively disappointing given really impressive food to this point. Disastrous cheese board, but resolved very kindly and generously. We were there early eve, so atmos score possibly unfairly low!

I brought my cousin to celebrate her 89th birthday on 15 June 2022. We parked off-road to the rear, which is a definite advantage. First impressions were of immaculate cleanliness and very simple decor, and we received a friendly welcome. Even at 6pm the place was busy, but there were no hiccups with service. We ate from the 3-courses-for-£30 menu, and were both very well pleased, portions being small enough to eat all 3 courses without feeling outfaced. My cousin needs a low-carb diet and the menu gave her plenty of choice. The food was made even more appetising by the attractive presentation, and we enjoyed being able to see into the kitchen where the busy team were working efficiently and quietly - no shouting or swearing . We did think the wines were expensive, but I quite see that a profit has to be made somewhere and the meal was very reasonably priced. The only downside was that, because all the surfaces are hard (ie no carpets or tablecloths) it is noisy. Diners are there to enjoy an evening out and, naturally, they laugh a lot - that's a good thing, but it can make conversation a bit difficult, especially for oldies like me.

This is our second visit to Brontaes and if anything the food and service is getting better all the time. We chose to try out the £30 per head early bird menu and we were not disappointed. The fishcake and pig's cheek starters were delicious and our mains were stunning - duck, gnocchi and belly bacon. Look at the menu to see all the magical ingredients that make these meal look and taste spectacular. The time and effort that goes into every meal is incredible. Hats off to Dale and his team. We finished with all four desserts between us - crumble, blondie, sticky toffee pudding and lemon sponge. They finished off a great meal. Service was impeccable and the food is top end restaurant quality at affordable prices - especially the early bird prices. Well done - we had a blast again.

Excellent service and food. We nabbed a great table next to the open kitchen and we've never felt so looked after and not rushed at a restaurant. We brought our almost 6mo baby and were thrilled by the care and attention given to him as well as us, straight away offered a highchair and some fresh pureed food for him. Chatting to the chef and team whilst they cook was an absolute pleasure and it really created a great atmosphere! The food - WOW every single element was beyond delicious and presented beautifully. We loved that some things were kept a surprise such as the lemon cake being deep-fried we wouldn't have ordered if we knew but my gosh it was good! The decor and fancy food we had seen on social media had put us off but a recommendation from another business made us go and were so glad we did, that's not how it feels when you're there -it's not pretentious at all but it is incredible. We will be back many times!
