Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Fantastic Sunday Lunch Carvery. Gets very busy as food is good and the place is super.

We have visited the Tavistock Italia Restaurant three times now and the first two visits we were very impressed with the decor and the ambience of the restaurant and the meals were great, and we told all our friends, but on our third visit we took friends with us after recommending it. We were there last Bank Holiday Monday and were very disappointed! I don`t know if the chef was on holiday that day but nothing was the same as before, especially the starters! We asked the waitress what a certain item was and her answer was `basically its cheese on toast but a bit posher` - this wasnt what we wanted to hear. We had £15 vouchers off a meal and starter for two people - not sure if this may have made a difference. Would like to try it again sometime but how can we be sure we get the same service as the previous two times.

Barbara’s salads are absolutely scrumptious and they come in very generous portions too. The crumbles on the specials board are hard to resist. There is always a choice for vegans. The prices are reasonable. The craft shops and the art gallery are added attractions. I only wish it was nearer to our home but that doesn’t deter us from being regulars!

What a super pub/restaurant,had lunch today on the recommendation of a friend. Best roast sirloin for a long time.staff are very friendly,cosy country pub WELL DONE! we will be backher

Balti House, fantastic! Great food. Very Very friendly. We stayed near by for one night and were made to feel like locals. We`ll be back

The Castle Inn is under new management. About a year ago the current managers took over and are working hard to build up a reputation for good beer and food. The Castle is a cosy place with friendly staff, a colourful and welcoming bunch of locals and an ever increasing number of visitors, like myself. The restaurant offers a choice of foods to suit most pallets. Sitting in the rustic restaurant or eating at a table in the lounge one is impressed by the food turned out from the kitchen. Well cooked, wholesome and, unless you want a "pensioners" there are no small portions. Sunday lunchtimes is carvery time. Delicious roasts are there to be carved up and ladled onto your plate. All in all, the Castle is a good, rustic friendly place to eat or drink spoilt only by the gambling machine in the lounge. It should be moved into the "tap room", or better still, thrown out altogether. The disturbance is however minimal and it should not detract from your enjoyment unless you, like me, cannot abide these machines.

This is quite simply the best restaurant Leeds has to offer. We went as a group of 12 ib a party and we were treated like kings! Amazing service and the food isnt bad either! May I recommend the steak olive tree although expensive was just divine! a* place

Amazing food and setting, great vibe and atmosphere,excellent friendly customer service, a place surely to fulfill your appetite.

the food is awful now that its under new management. I definitely would not recommend it.

best Indian restaurant in hull *great food *great service *very nice restaurant *must try the chicken tikka jalfrezi people try it now trust me

Amaans is such a lovely restaurant, every time we have family visiting from down south we take them to the curry house. It is so reasonably priced that we can visit the restaurant regularly...beautiful meals everytime!

We booked to stay at the Frenchgate Hotel on Sunday 25 May 2008 but reading previous reviews we had a lucky escape. When we arrived at the hotel we were advised there had been a booking error and we were booked out to another hotel. We did not make a fuss or complain and the acting manager appeared apologetic and in recompense for our inconvenience invited us to dine at their restaurant that evening. However at the end of the meal we were presented with the bill. Why didn't we say something? Surprise, shock, embarassment is the answer. Note to the owner: When presenting a dish two nights running it is important that the standard of presentation should remain the same. It is dangerous to talk about guests to regular patrons as you don't know who is listening. Pride comes before a fall - the customer is the true judge of the standard and quality of an establishment. Arrogance and self-importance are not attractive qualities. Let the food speak for itself instead of telling everyone who does and doesn't want to listen how wonderful it is. If you looking for somewhere to stay then Millgate House is a must and they will recommend restaurants where you are not told what an honour it is to be eating in the establishment! Moral of the story: To say sorry is easy - to mean it is quite another thing.

Eliano's is one of the few restaurants in the Teesside area that has any character. The staff are friendly, the food is good, the restaurant gives off a traditional Italian vibe. Also as a bonus, its one of the last restaurants in Middlesbrough to still provide an occasional live jazz scene.

On looking for somewhere to take two young Canadians I remembered Aldos in Cleckheaton. They made us feel very welcome and there was a lively and entertaining atmosphere. The food was very good and the service prompt and excellent. We felt special. Thank you for an excellent meal.

Went to Raja's but was not at all impressed. I thought I would try there from recommendation. I often eat out at various different places & Raja's will never be on my list again. The food was nothing special, the drinks were expensive & 10% service charge on top which isn't stated when you look at the online menu for this place. There were seven of us dining there & we asked for water on the table - we were brought 4 glasses of water!!! We won't be eating there again.

Orderd T-Bone steak , the chef was dressed in a Leeds united shirt and you can guess the state of the Meal , crap utter dry rubbish . What a let down , ii would never eat there again .

I have concerns about the cleanliness of this pub
