Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

I love this restaurant! The location and setting is really unexpected and very lovely. We first went on New Year's Eve, and made a last minute table reservation. We had a special set menu which included some really exciting things I would probably not have thought to order off a menu, such as chicken wrapped in banana leaves and fried (amazing!). On other visits since, we have never been disappointed, the food is always delicious and beautiful, the service excellent and the price reasonable. We may well go back again this new year!

We went in this restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon as soon as it opened at 5pm. We received excellent service throughout, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the prices very reasonable. The food was the real star though, we had a main course from the barbecue/grill and a traditional main course, as well as mixed meze starters, and everything that came was delicious and very good quality. I would order everything we chose again, but would really like to work my way through the entire menu! We will definitely be going again!

We went for a pre-theatre meal here, and got a table for 5.30, with a promise we'd be done in time for the 7.30 show at the next-door WYPlayhouse. I was hugely impressed by everything about this restaurant. There was a small crowd waiting for the doors to open, and everyone had pre-booked (which I would recommend as it certainly seems popular). The friendly and efficient staff checked every party off the booking list and got them seated, given drinks and so on very quickly without ever giving an impression of hurrying anyone. Although almost every table was full, the well organised staff kept everything ticking along unobtrusively and the whole place had a nice, friendly, buzzy atmosphere. The fixed price menu was good value, though after our meal we decided that for the quality and the quantity the full main menu is not overpriced at all. The food is some of the best we have eaten in the UK, not fussy and over presented, but good honest rustic French cuisine with generous portions and tastes out of this world. Another nice touch was the fresh french bread - when we had eaten all our first basket we were given another at no additional cost, as with the carafe of iced water. This is a 10 out of 10 restaurant on every count, we will definitely be going again!

This hotel was a brilliant find! Our room (Napoli suite)was wonderful, beautifully equipped with great lighting features and a superb bed! David is a fantastic host whose wine knowledge made our meals memorable. Food fantastic and so beautifully presented. The hotel is quiet and efficient, like staying in a country house. I wish we didn't live so far away or we would be there more often.

Excellent. Value for money. Good varied menu. Beer battered fish to die for . No booking a minor inconvenience but 20min wait is worth it.

Consistently good sometimes superb. Fresh takes time! Can be overstretched. It's usually well worth a wait.

Been to quiet a few of Italian restaurants in west Yorkshire recently and this is the best. The food was fantastic and we didn't have to wait long.Lovely atmosphere, great keyboard player playing background music and the staff were so nice and efficient.We visited because we bought a voucher from pulse radio offering a £40 meal for £20, but we will now definitely visit again.

Rinaldis the food is incredible and the wine is to die for best night out I've had in a long time

Excellent food....super bar staff,this pub is soo much recommended !

A fairly relaxed atmosphere, an unashamedly meaty menu and decent steaks. Does what it says on the tin.

Fish and Chips have always been the best in town. Each time I visit Leeds I stop at Nash's. For my mother's birthday, quick lunch, or just to relax and have a good meal. I know it was closed for a while and was so glad to find it open when I was in Leeds 2010. Always a good atmosphere

Best Fish & Chip shop i have ever been to! Top quality fish & chips at low prices. Delicious, fresh and mouthwatering!

great place, great food, good selection of v good wines, great atmosphere on a Friday night, and nice friendly staff..highly recommended. +++++

I have visited The Old Canteen on many occasions.It is a wonderful place to sit and have a coffee and also for Sunday lunch.There is also a market place where you can obtain the latest Superdry tee shirts.Its heaven!

Visited on three occasions - very impressed with food, friendliness and surroundings. V busy purely from word of mouth - service slightly slow as think their immediate popularity took them by surprise. No longer open Mon. Not licenced but welcome to bring your own! Super antique type 'market place' in adjacent room selling furniture, bric a brac, cosmetics, garden items, some clothing, hair & make up products and shoes, bags & boots - all at great prices and nicely laid out. Looking forward to going to the tapas eve with a dozen friends on Aug 5! Paninis highly recommended as is Sunday lunch and desserts excellent.

One to avoid these days, its gone to the dogs imo

Very disappointing!! We booked our table for 7pm, we eventually sat down at the table for 8. The food was bland and over cooked... had to send a meal back. The staff are very young and do not know what they are doing - had to ask for cutlery. Then they over charged us by £15. Would not recommend and will certainly not be going back!!

The Jewel in Crown!! Having met a friend on the worst day of the week so far weather wise and having been rather disappointed in Ripon itself....We were lucky to lunch at Lockwoods.... What can I say....? great food / good service/ and wonderful atmosphere meant we came away from Ripon thinking of it more kindly than when we arrived!! Would recommend to anyone wanting somewhere different with imaginative menus.
