Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

We always love it here. The lasagne is to die for!!! Every piece of food we loved; starters, main and dessert. Such a great atmosphere too

Amazing food & service.

A lovely, friendly pub. Food choice was great and clearly freshly-made. Great views outside too A handy stop off between Lancaster and "t'other Side" :-)

Overall, our Saturday night meal was a real mixed bag. We arrived early for the table as instructed on the email, only to be told that it would be about 20minutes until an order could be taken. When the orders were to be placed only 3 mains (from 5 were available) and I think a starter was missing as well. This is disappointing at the best of times, but for a 7.30pm sitting, its pretty poor. Unfortunately the 20 minutes turned into over 30. And then there was a significant delay between the starter and the main course. The food that was served was excellent, and the staff were attentive and continually reminded us of the wait. It was a nice touch of Dale to bring out the mains, apologise personally for the delays and offer deserts on the house. We did order a desert to share but when the final bill came out, this was charged for. When we left and voiced our frustrations, Mark explained the situation with a large table turning up significantly late. This is probably the most disappointing, as the tables that turned up on time (or even early as instructed) are the ones who suffer. A final disappointment is that these concerns were raised with the restaurant but we heard nothing back from them.

6 of us had a meal here on a Wednesday evening. The welcome was very warm, servers attentive and very pleasant. The food was gorgeous. The tapas are about the size of a decent starter so 2 with a side are a decent amount. We mostly had 3 tapas and it was plenty. The atmosphere was lovely, all twinkly fairy lights, quite sophisticated. A few of us had a glass of house wine, which was great quality. It would be easy to spend a lot of money as everything sounds really tasty. We are definitely going back.

Just go!! If you want delightful food, beautifully cooked then this is the place for you. Fresh food, balanced spices and great value. What more could you need?

good food - the group had mostly sashimi based dinners and loved the presentation and quantity of food served. no reports of stomach upset or vomiting after sashimi which is always a good sign however, overall a relatively slow service - would not recommend for desperately hungry souls

Delicious meal and very friendly service. The meal was on the pricey side but well worth it. We were given the choice of the bar and the restaurant, and chose to stay in the bar, which obviously was a bit noisier, so if you want peace and quiet, choose the restaurant!

A lovely welcoming pub, pleasant staff and the service was good. The food was well presented, well cooked, delicious and decent size portions.

We had a truly lovely meal yesterday with friends Great atmosphere and as usual wonderful food. Thank you

Excellent food excellent service

Excellent service, lovely food. Cocktails are really good. Would highly recommend.

The food was very good. The service was very nice and I would go again in a heartbeat.

Very lovely welcome when we entered the restaurant & shown to our table Wonderful service & delicious food , If any thing it was a little loud

All four of us agreed that we had a very enjoyable lunch with attentive service. The Duke will be returning to our shortlist of places to go.

Fresh and thick cut sashimi slices. Sushi rolls were very nice too and the fried tofu was exceptional. Would definitely go again. Gets very busy so best to book.

We enjoyed our tapas at Brooks as the food was very tasty and the choice was a little bit different. Staff were all very attentive, friendly & helpful.

Easiest review to write - we love Maxi’s in York. We found Maxi’s when we were staying on our first of many trips. We try to visit at least once a year or more if we can. The food is amazing and we have never been disappointed. The staff are lovely and friendly and the service is very attentive. There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere . We have used Maxi’s take away service too which is also excellent. Choose Maxi’s.
