Reviews in Skipton

Food was sensational, service was spot on Enjoyed very much

Sadly this was a disappointing experience. We were a table of 6 and were booked early when few tables were occupied. Our starters were not delivered together - about 15 minutes from the first to last being delivered. It appears that one of them had been forgotten. Main courses were delivered closer together but I reckon the quality of the cooking was medium, not high. Service was patchy. This was due in part to a very new team member (presumably not well trained), and no team work between the servers and the kitchen. The kitchen seemed to be struggling to get out food orders. One of the serving staff spent a long time chatting to a couple at a nearby table who he appeared to know well - to the detriment of the service overall. This will be our last visit!

My friend and myself had a beautiful meal yesterday Wednesday 26th November. We started with Scallops beautiful cooked and very tasty. Main course my friend had lamb chop which was delicious and very large. I had pork which melted in your mouth and beautiful cooked. For Desserts we had Crème Brûlée served with shortbread, treacle tart served with ice cream. Everything was beautifully served and delicious. Excellent value for money will be going again. I have been 4 times now and never disappointed.

Excellent

Very disappointed with 4 steak frites meals , meal very chewy and tough and two of the dishes were overcooked Starters and fish dishes were very good and have no complaints Staff very attentive and apologetic over our complaints 4 out of the party of 8 were left feeling very disappointed

We regularly visit Le Bistro on a Saturday lunch time when visiting our family and have always had excellent food and great service. However on 7/11 we visited for my partners birthday. It was much busier than usual and the staff were running all over the place trying to keep up. Yes many things about the service were not great but what I would say , for us, this was not the norm and won’t stop us coming back. The young lad in charge ( don’t know his name apologies) was doing his best and was still friendly, polite and apologetic in very challenging circumstances !

Excellent food and service, extremely patient staff while we sorted out the bill!! My only comment…….the chicken came with mash which should have been sautéed potatoes , there were 26 in our group and I couldn’t send it back and risk waiting ages for it to be corrected. Would definitely recommend.

Visited on 7th Nov with my wife. What a superb evening, restaurant was relatively full but this did not retract from service. A reasonable time between courses allowing time to enjoy the wine but not to long. Owner on hand to ensure everyone happy very affable. We had pate starters and sea bass main all perfect. Great staff, great food good value. If we come back to the area will definitely call back.

Fabulous food, wonderful atmosphere, great staff.

Myself and my wife visited your restaurant on a visit to Skipton and were very disappointed. On arrival our first choice Wine was not available, our starter choices were available, next my wife's and my first choice main course ordered not available, my second choice main ordered not available. I was very disappointed with the food but my wife enjoyed hers. £112 not value for money.

We were a table of 5. Generally everything is great but unfortunately this time we were disappointed. We arrived at 14:00 and didnt receive our starters until 15:50. When they came the.bread was wrong not gluten free for one member of the party. The starters were fine. Then came the mains. 2 x pastas, 2 x chicken and one salmon fishcakes. The pasta wasn't very hot. One of the chicken dishes was dry and my friend didnt eat it. The service was very hit and miss. My other friend had to go and requests more drinks. I will say I think the staff were run ragged as there was a large table in but this should not have effected ours experience.

This is one of our favourite restaurants but it fell short of our expectations yesterday (02/11). The food as always was lovely. The service wasn’t great. We were served our main course before our starters that went back and the starters then took another 30 minutes to arrive. No apology or explanation given. Not great and we will be back.

Unfortunately me and my friend were very disappointed we have been many times but last night was very poor. I had Steak with Frites I could not cut the meat with the steak knife it was uneatable and the sides on my friends meal were burnt so will not be returning any time soon .

Excellent food, great service with no fuss & reasonable prices.

Enjoyable evening out with my wife to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. Food was lovely, the service was good and the staff were excellent. I would have no hesitation in going back there again for a meal.

Excellent evening with my wife. The food was outstanding, the environment was relaxed and comfortable and the staff were great. Highly recomended and we will be going again.

Really lovely food, great service and a lovely atmosphere.

A most interesting menu with some traditional French dishes superbly executed. Very good and friendly service ensuring a most enjoyable dining experience
