Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

We were made welcome on arrival, the service was calm and efficient, the ambience good. The food, from the chef's tit-bit of poached pear in balsamic to the desserts every thing was perfectly cooked and presented. The wine list was varied and not overpriced. The best restaurant experience we have had in many a year

Great Sunday meals!!! May be hard to get a seat, but well worth it. Value for money!:-)

Booked for our wedding anniversary having not ate there for 4 years, on the whole disappointed to say the least with my meal although my wifes was acceptable. As a main course I ordered the Rib Eye which was returned without compliment, should not have served it ! Staff seemed to have gone down hill and a mate of mine has described the cost as highway robbery which I would find an acceptable comment. Come on you can do better than that !!!!!

The best curry I've ever tasted. I am 40yrs old and I have had currys all around the world. Their currys are the best.

Food is ok (although no matter what type of curry you get they all seem to taste the same) and it's one of the cheapest restaurants I've ever been to (£78 for 13 of us!!!) but the service is horrendous. I've actually been back four or five times with friends purely to show them how bad it is - waiters literally throw plates of food onto the table, scowl at you at all times and seem to find it extraordinarily inconvenient that anyone would want to order food. A truly odd dining experience!

one of the best around been more than a dozen times ,can sometimes be quite busy but its well worth if you do have to wait a little, the Sunday lunches are spot on ,meals are always well presented, hot and plenty of it, and if you manage the main course then the sweets are of the same high standard very few in my opinion even come close to it

Great little Pub - proper home cooked food. Recently re-furbished and now has air-con, so even when busy, it's a pleasant environment. Thurday night quiz is great fun - the quizmaster should be on stage in London - he's really funny! All in all, a great place to eat, drink and be merry!

We enjoyed an excellent lunch here with our two teenage children. The service is attentive, without being intrusive. The lamb was perfectly cooked - with the waitress at pains to point out that it would be served "pink" (no problem with that)- and was served on a bed of crisp green beans, sauteed potatoes and feta cheese. The other dishes of meatballs with spaghetti and burger and chips were pedestrian but well received by the younger members of the party. An excellent lunch in relaxed surroundings.

The food was not nearly as good as the other reviews suggest. My starter was rabbit terrine served on a couple of slices of toast. The chunk of terrine was very bland - very like a bought-in commercial product. (My wife had ordered a smoked salmon pancake which turned out to be a couple of slices of smoked salmon wrapped around a sort of potato croquette!) My main course was King Scallops and Crabmeat served on over-used (blackened around the edges) clam shells topped off with cheese and grilled - for far too long. I had a strong suspicion that the scallops were frozen and the crabmeat was commercial. The cheese used for topping was far too strong and completely overpowered the taste of seafood. It was accompanied by a loose ball of salad leaves - mostly parsley and what I think was rocket. A good deal of the leaves were black and soggy - just like when you leave leave salad in the packet for far too long in the fridge at home and have to throw it away - and there was grit around the parsley leaves where they hadn't been washed properly. I drew this to the attention of the floor manager who went to speak to the chef. She came back to say that the chef had said that the appearance had something to do with pesto (I didn't understand what he was trying to say and there wasn't any pesto on the leaves). I could tell she wasn't convinced either and she did apologise - but didn't offer to change the soggy mess! We paid £2 extra (very reasonable) for two portions of vegetables. The vegetables were only briefly cooked just as I like them (except the leeks which are uneatable when only flash fried). For wine, I chose a New Zealand Pinot Gris which was very pleasant and at £20 a little dear, but par for the course. La Rue could be good if only they would use good fresh produce instead of buying in pre-made food and if they took a bit more care. Rabbit Terrine isn't difficult to make from scratch and should be very tasty. It's not difficult to wash salad properly and throw out stuff that's past it's best. And if a customer shows you a salad with black soggy lumps of rotten leaves in it - for goodness sake, don't make excuses for the chef, apologise and change it!

Fantastic food and very child friendly. we had 6 children for the Saturday lunch time menu, ranging from 2years to 14 ,the adults and children enjoyed gorgeous food in a lovely,, relaxed atmosphere, all at a reasonable price. I will be recommending it to all my friends with or without children!

Dire in most respects! The Welsh Rarebit was a joke: one piece of cheese on toast does not constitute a Welsh Rarebit! Lattes were coffee-less and the menu was stodgy, unimaginative and limited: totally boring and uninspiring in fact. A very poor experience.

Me & My Family Love Eating Here, The Food May Be Slightly Expensive However It Tastes Great And Is Great Quality! The Service Is Very Good Also & There Is A Good Ambience Whilst You Eat.

Today I visited this restaurant, for lunch, with my 5year old grandson. He was able to play in the indoor area whilst waiting for our meal. The food for both of us was well presented and very good. The staff were friendly and helpful especially Lynette who served and chattered with clients of all ages, producing a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised and will certainly be visiting again.

Not much cop to be honest - very expensive, I remember it was something like £1 for 1 popadom plus the fat git that owns it is rude and obnoxious!

We have been regularly visiting the Go-Down for a number of years. The food and service has been consistently good throughout that time beginning with its welcoming loaf of warm bread . Portions (unless you opt for the early bird menu are daunting. Even going for the early bird it is a struggle to accommodate all three courses. It would be hard to find better quality and value for money.

We travelled a fair way to this new venture and it was well worth it. The effort the owners have put in should see them reap their rewards. The wide variety of food was excellent as well was the service and surroundings. If you are passing it makes a refreshing change to the norm. Buenos Suerte! Cuckoos.

I've visited Salute a few dozen times since they relocated from Oulton. The food is consistently excellent and it is rare to be disappointed with any aspect of a visit. We often visit just for a drink, and although a little more expensive then pubs in the area, it more than makes up for this in service and ambiance. On many occasions when we have visited early in the evening for the Early Bird menu we brought our baby daughter and received a wonderful welcome from the staff. This really makes a difference. In summary: the best restaurant for miles around.

Took advantage of the early bird 3 course menu on our short break to Harrogate. Excellent value , food cooked to perfection the sweets were to die for. Would certainly recommend it.
