Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Visited the wheatsheaf on 23/12/11 really looked forward to it arrived 6.30 four of us sat down at the table, the starters were really good. looked forward to the mains 3 ordered the calves liver which was superb, I ordered the duck when it arrived I ate the first mouthful went to cut in again and it was raw and very bloody asked if they could re-cook it arrived back fully micro-waved could not cut into it like rubber the waitress said they served it rare the fat was slimy went on to the desserts 3 sticky toffee puddings superb mine the belgium choc brownie with rum and raisin ice-cream, the ice-cream was melting fast, the brownie was burnt solid could not get the spoon in like i said solid, the waiter came over and took it away and get me another one it arrived it was sticky toffee without the sauce it had dates in it not a brownie. No apoligies. People either side of me ordered duck a bit wary because of my complaint but theirs arrived 4 in total theirs were perfect fell off the leg. Was the chef practising on mine. I will never go back it appears its pot luck some have a good meal some bad its like a lottery so if your lucks in your on to a winner like i said won't be going back

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!!! This place is lousy - service is appalling, food is really bad - served cold and why they bother trying to pass off ready made "Bird's Eye" type burgers and oven fries as something their 'chefs' have cooked is beyond belief. Not worth any stars on a rating scale. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs!!

I pre-booked a table for four people Saturday evening for my wife and family. We arrived five minutes earlier than the agreed time, and after being assured by the member of staff (possibly the manager) that we would be sat down at our table "in a few minutes" we stood and waited in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by other diners sat eating their meals for another 20 minutes as we watched other parties get seated. We received NO subsequent assurances about getting our pre-arranged table and waited patiently. After 20 minutes of waiting and hearing nothing from the (and I quote from their website 'extremely friendly and attentive') staff apart from getting jostled from side to side as they brushed past us. After waiting patiently for so long with no update on our table despite getting pushed out of the way numerous times by their 'extremely friendly staff' I asked what had happened to our pre-booked table. After asking this we were directed into a room upstairs not to eat, but I presume to drink from their bar upstairs until our pre booked table became available. At no point were we even apologised to or even offered a free drink whilst we kept waiting watching everyone else eat. We got offered a token free garlic bread (that would usually come with the meal anyway) but after waiting even that did not turn up.We gave up waiting in the end and walked out, again no apologies were forthcoming.We found an alternate restaurant a few minutes away that knew how to treat valued customers and we spent the rest of the evening trying to forget the very poor treatment and disregard we experienced in Rusticos.This is a prime example of how a restaurant that becomes too popular forgets the no 1 consideration in the food industry - it's customers. I eat out very regularly and this is perhaps the worst we've ever been treated by a restaurant either in this country, or in other countries we've visited. For a restaurant that states on it's website "Our staff are extremely friendly and attentive and are always willing to attend to any requests you may have" this simply was not demonstrated and we were left feeling undervalued and ignored,. Christmas may be a busy season but if no tables were available they should not have wasted our time in agreeing a booking early that day. Rusticos needs to remember that although Christmas may be group party season now, come the cold winter January/February months after it's customers like us that support restaurants during their quiet months.Quite obviously *not recommended* of course.

had a couple of takeaways since opening under its new name and they were perfect. Went in for a meal a fortnight ago and had my usual Chicken Royal Massala with Sambuka and was delighted that its just as impressive, i would recommend Zaika for a takeaway or a sit in meal. Keep up the good work. Steve

Myself and a colleague wanted to treat some good customers to a nice Christmas meal in Bradford and some one suggested the “Ital” for a nice Italian. Unfortunately this was a far from nice experience. At first the staff were warm and welcoming but later turned arrogant, nasty and threatening. We ordered a chicken dish and 3 fillet steaks, our food came out promptly and my colleague and I were served what looked like cheap stakes, you could instantly see that they were not fillet’s, they were to big to be fillet’s and far to tough. My colleague complained to the waiter (who later professed to be the owner) and was regaled with abuse stating they were fillets and they serve thousands of covers and he was insulted by the suggestion that they were not. My colleague not wanting to argue the meats provenance simply asked for anything else from the menu but the steak. The waiter then went on one saying he could prove the steak was fillet and returned with a whole uncooked fillet from the kitchen. This was indeed a fine example of fillet steak but bared no resemblance at all to what we had on our plates. I must point out that fortunately our customers were happy with their food and insisted it was nice, but by this point the waiter had spent so much time being abusive to us our customers had finished their meal so we decided to cut our losses and asked for the bill being happy to pay for what we had. The waiter then returned spouting further abuse and by this time was becoming threatening. To my total amazement they had had the audacity to present a bill for all 4 meals, on challenging the bill I received further abuse telling me that he knew his rights and I had to pay for all the meals even though we had not even touched our 2. I then informed him that I was not going to pay for food we had not had and if that was a problem then he would have to call the police. To this I received another side dish of abuse, eventually they recalculated the bill incorrectly removing the cost of only 1 meal, after pointing this out I received another round of abuse and he recalculated it correctly. I of course paid the bill and left after receiving another 2 rounds of abusive and very threatening behaviour. I understand that restaurants make mistakes from time to time, however for a business working in the service industry you would think common sense and courtesy would prevail. I have eaten in quite a few restaurants but this place has to be the WORST experience I have EVER had. If you want a nice Italian meal DO NOT GO TO THE ITAL in Bradford, if you would like to be served abuse, be threatened or ripped off then I wholeheartedly recommend the ITAL.

We have being going to Raj for many years from when they had a lot smaller place,Even though they have got a lot bigger and a lot more busy the service,food staff and price is the best in hull and a lot of other cities in the country we always feel like family every time we go in but i think we just about live their.

The Clevedon Restaurant is a gem and a real find. I encourage anyone to give it a try.

Audley Clevedon Restaurant is a real find. The food is fab, the surroundings sumptuous and the service impeccable. I have eaten there on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. I would, without question, recommend this venue to any one either for a meal or a function - both are catered for brilliantly.

The Clevedon Restaurant hosted our 2011 Networking Christmas Party and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was divine, the setting was lovely and the atmosphere was great! Very friendly staff and very reasonably priced food - highly recommended!!

very good value for money......

Excellent grub and service, 10/10

Went to Malagor Fine Thai Cuisine after being recommended from the Holiday Inn where we were staying. Absolutely delighted we went. From the second we entered, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming - the receptionist who I later found out was the owner, organised a table for us despite them being so busy. The decoration is lovely and my wife and I felt really welcome throughout. We had a delicious lamb shank which slightly over faced me (so my wife helped me finish it), and the salmon in ginger. Both were delicious. We couldn't face dessert but the table next to us had mango cheesecake which they seemed to enjoy. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - not rushed like at so many restaurants. We will certainly return soon.

I saw advertising for this Fish and Chip shop and have used it a few times now. Unfortunately, the money spent on good advertising has been thrown away. The girl behind the counter was generally disinterested (yawning) and apart from throwing the fish and chips (of each customer) into the boxes - she was quite rude. I shall not be recommending this shop to any family and friends again and I certainly won't go there - other shops will be more than happy to receive my money and custom.

We are regular visitors to this restaurant and are always very happy with the excellent food and service. The staff are courteous and very professional. Last weekend we had the pleasure of attending my husbands company Christmas meal there were 17 couples in number to be served at the same time. Well done Julio staff all had a very good evening and an excellent time. there was no rushing and no one was urge to move on after the meal was finished, we all chatted together in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Thank Julio's Be seeing you again soon.

visited last Saturday night and really enjoyed the atmosphere, the bar was heaving.

We went to this restaurant on a rare evening out thanks to a babysitting opportunity and it was well worth the visit. Staff were lovely but leave you alone enough not to feel crowded, menu varied and the meal fantastic. Wine very reasonably priced. I had passed this place often and hardly noticed it as it is very understated but is a real find. Strongly recommend it.

we brought my mum for 65th birthday it was absolutely amazing the restaurant staff and the service and the food. Can't wait to come again Daxa

Well first of all i would like to pull up the staff on what they was wearing (jeans and T-Shirts) this is really unprofessional! i visited on a Sunday so had no choice but to have the carvery which wasn't really to my standards, the mash potato was lovely but the lamb and beef wasn't cooked very well, also the onions wasn't very tasty as they tasted of sugar and vinegar. However..... they have an old market place which i absolutely LOVE its brilliant and would definitely go there again but just not have anything to eat!
