Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Great place to eat. Obviously skillful cooks in the kitchen and front of house are a delight. Can be busy and some of locals, encouraged by staff, can be noisy and intrusive but after all this is a pub and not a Michelin star restaurant. If you want hushed tones then look elsewhere. Recent visits have exposed a lack of knowledge of how to cook chips - sent ours back twice and at lunchtimes they clearly want you off the premises (we were not offered a sweet). But if you're looking for a really good meal and you have a hearty appetite then you cant go far wrong here

We've eaten at Beatson many times over the years. The food is quite exceptional - perhaps a little showy but never to mask a lack of taste or skill in preparation. The decor and set up is divine although i have to admit i too hate the car park. Whether its the credit crunch or maybe I'm just paranoid but i couldn't get them to bring me water to save my life - had to ask 3 times! The dining rooms are intimate and so the experience is so relaxing. I'm dying to try the private dining rooms when next we have a family celebration. But the limited space downstairs is so easily spoiled by loud diners. If you only eat one thing try rose petal ice cream - delish.

red chili is 1 off the best restaurant going. friendly staff great management. food the best in Yorkshire. Tried the rest now try the best yes red chilli2 wakefield

best in Yorkshire, lovely meal, excellent service, manager kamal the best.

I went to Sammie's for the first time last week, and I ate the best curry I have ever had in my whole life !!!! and believe me I've eaten at 1000's of Indian restaurants. FANTASTIC !!!! I'll be back for my lovely dish of CREAMY CHICKEN this week and then some !

the food was really good

Let's hope the new place in Silsden is better than the cramped bunfight that Stefano's has become! Is it any wonder Keighley/Silsden don't get any mentions in the 2010 Good Food Guide? On a very recent visit our starter arrived before we'd finished the customary gratis pizza, the starters arrived at staggered intervals, why do they insist on an "is everything all right" during, after, then several times at the end of the meal? We must have had 10-12 in total... smacks of a) wanting praise or b) insecurity, or most likely a combination of both. The food on the whole is excellent and plentiful, though why they insist in smothering the star of the show, be it fish, veal, steak, whatever in lashings of sauce is beyond comprehension. Also why serve that pathetic little side salad on a steaming hot plate when they've already asked if you'd like salad or veg? Stefano's is about as far away from fine dining as you can get with cramped tables, surroundings, helpings, in your face staff and the aforesaid mentioned takeaway collections. But if you want a free for all bun fight, fine, get stuck in... it's as rustic and as chaotic as they come, but for better value and the same atmosphere head down to the Carvary at The Beeches for a fiver! For a more discerning diner you need to cast your net a little wider... and believe me, there's plenty better, and not too far away either!

I've had some great food in Aagrah, but last time i went it was far too spicy. I like chili. But i prefer milder food so chose a 'medium' on their own 5 chili scale and it was too spicy. Even the Korma my friend chose was too hot for her. Be warned even the pilau rice is spicy! Perhaps next time i go, I'll ask them to tone it down.

went for a meal last night am going for dinner today with my family the meal was lovely the staff very friendly and helpful i would recommend it anyone -

the food is great and the staff are warm and friendly.i would recommend any day and hope you all enjoy your visit to the rustics because i did .

On a Sunday in October my wife and I decided to go for our Sunday dinner at Rinaldi's Wakefield. We were seated with menu's and our drinks order taken. The restaurant was not busy as the chefs were talking in the kitchen watching the world go by. The wrong drinks arrived quite quickly although after 15 minutes we were quite ready to order. Asking the restaurant manager idf he could take our order we were told to wait a minute. He proceeded to clear empty tables and relay them, after watching this we decided to ask again. He told us that he was not taking orders that day and we would have to wait. At this point we asked for the bill for our 2 drinks to which he did not hesitate or question our decision. We questioned his actions and the service at the restaurant as he had lost 2 customers and their families who are all local to Wakefield. The man simply replied "we lose nothing".

Eaten at China City and Eastern Court many times and China City is by far nicer. Better quality food by far. Service is equally good at either restaurant but the food at Eastern Court is occasionally of a lesser standard.

Lovely pub .. but amazingly poor service. Food was virtually thrown at us as was the cutlery. When "Seasonal Vegetables" came which we ordered as a side, they were brown and dry and un consumable. Upon asking for a help a rude so called manger advised us that "that was how they came" and basically would do nothing to amend the matter and with no apology. Although i recommend this place for a drink with great surroundings the food and customer service are extremely poor, compared to other pubs from this chain, which we often frequent.

Amazing food, really nice staff and what view over the Chevin. Highly recommend this restaurant!!

think its wonderful the food is really nice and so are the staff went in for lunch and the atmosphere was just so relaxed, decor is in need of a change but apart from that one of the best curries i have ever had

What a wonderful restaurant. My husband and I dined there on Friday 18 September 2009. We had just got married that day and the staff made us feel incredibly special. The food was fantastic and the singer sang a romantic song for us. We will most definitely be recommending the restaurant to our friends.

We have been here after a long time. The lunch - aubergine, mushrooms, tomato and basil crumble with a most delicious and yummy salad to go with it - was superb. Shan't make it that long before we are back here again.

What a treasure this place is. We spent our 4th wed anniversary there. A beautiful setting, with views to die for, really nice decor inside, super friendly staff - and that's all before I tell you about the food. It was fab!!! From start to finish, all locally sourced, good quality produce (I quizzed them), beautifully presented, and so, so tasty. We had the a la carte menu and while the food was as special as you would hope, the portions were reasonable too (never like to feel hungry when I leave a restaurant, no matter how tasty it is). Honestly couldn't fault it, will be back again with my loyalty card, with friends and family alike!
