Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

I visited the restaurant on Saturday evening with my 3 friends. The atmosphere was great, and our seats were perfect. The restaurant was full but the service was excellent. The food was amazing, however we were advised to order 3 dishes each + a side, so we had 12 dishes and 4 sides between us, which was too much. It was served in intervals so the table wasn’t overflowing and the food wasn’t going cold. We all shared , and thoroughly enjoyed our evening, the wine was also delicious. 2 of us visited in April 2022 and it was even better the second time around. We all definitely be back.

Excellent food and excellent service my favourite restaurant and the kids favourite too

Absolutely beautiful food great atmosphere will definitely return

I had a table booked for dinner at 7pm but I was very disappointed to be squeezed into a corner under a loud speaker surrounded but very loud people, and to be told they had run out of pizzas. It’s probably a great place for a drink but not a meal out with friends you want a conversation with .

Amazing food and very well priced ,has a lovely atmosphere .Sam is fantastic nothing is too much for him and he’s delightful at his job

I have been here a few times now, but I doubt I will be back after my recent visit. The whole atmosphere in the place was dour and the staff were miserable especially the guy at the counter cutting the meat. First he looked at me and then walked away, next totally ignored me and finally here served the other person who had joined behind me before serving me. At the end of our meal my friend went to the toilet and being an older gentleman it can take him some time. Whilst I was waiting for him at our table, I was approached and asked if I wanted more drinks to which I replied no thank you as I am just waiting for my friend and then we are going. Then 30 seconds later I was asked again and again I said no. After another minute or so the empty glasses were taken from our table. Then after another few minutes a guy in a suit asked if I wanted more drinks. I got the impression that I was taking up space an they wanted me to leave. Which we did.

This week 8 of us ate at 19 at 6.15. We all enjoyed the Xmas menu, it was lovely. And so were the staff. . Ive now had coffee and scones am, a market meal and xmas menue and its all great quality food with great flavours. And have now booked an afternoon tea. In December.. Your sured of a warm welcome and great food at this lovely new cafe/resturant in Saltburn

It was our first time at Brooks but it won't be our last. We chose 2 fish and 2 veggie tapas dishes with 2 sides. All were beautifully presented and delicious. As were the deserts, especially the sherry cake and icecream. (I'm going to have to try to make something like that at home!) We were warmly welcomed by the friendly proprietor who seemed to know the other diners well, and it was busy for an early Thursday evening. Obviously the people of Ilkley and round about, appreciate the quality of Brooks, too. We're looking forward to our next visit. To make it even better, I would like Sri Lankan music and photos of Sri Lanka to add to the atmosphere.

Our first visit. We had the market menu and will book to come back for the taster menu. Very nice environment and excellent service. The food was really top class. I thought it was good value for the quality of the experience.

Eaten here couple of times. Both the market menu and the full tasting menu. Great food and service. Lovely to see this sort of quality so local. Will definitely be back and continue to support this fine establishment.

Always a lovely environment, the food is consistently good and reasonably priced

Just exceptional cuisine and we were very impressed with the service and we will be back

Did the early diner so for 2 courses very good value table booked Thursday at 7pm Food very nice, good choice too

Once again our annual visit was well worth the hotel bill. Fantastic top quality food and service. Wish we lived closer would never be away.

Great food, lovely staff, good vibe and generous free mulled wine. High quality spot for dinner.

We have been a few times now since this venue has had a revamp it must be one of the best in Hull love it food great service great place great price great what more can i say.

Well that was the most beautiful meal I have had in a very long time. There were 5 of us and 5 empty plates . The fish main was outstanding and the beef Wellington cooked perfectly . The staff are lovely and the place has a nice buzz to it without being overcrowded We had the market menu but I can’t wait to go and try the tasting menu next Thanks David snd the team for a perfect evening

The disappointing: The atmosphere lacked. We felt the decor needed more to make it inviting. It felt sterile. We had to sit with coats on, as every time the door opened, we had a cold blast around our table position and it wasn’t placed near the entrance door. Staff dressed very casual in jogging pants, sweatshirts and Crocs. The good: The food was excellent. The table service was also very good with staff been attentive . We wouldn’t rush back until some changes are made.
