I don't think I've ever experienced a place so devoid of atmosphere. Admittedly it was lunchtime…read moreand the place was almost empty. It may be that, situated as it is, on a business park, it is just a slightly glorified take out on a lunchtime and who knows, it might be throbbing with Italian authenticity on an evening. The problem is that, for me, it's all about basics and the basics here (coffee, salads, service and hygiene) were all a bit lacking. The food was run of the mill, the coffee was further from Italy than Leeds and the staff seemed more interested in their soap opera lives than in gracing customers with a smile. Worst of all, there is no excuse for dirty tables when there are so few customers and 4 staff 'working'

The location for this restaurant was a little hard to find because it was in a business park…read more Everyone who worked there was very nice. I went with a big group of people so I think they got reservations first. The place seemed to be pretty crowded and also had large groups around. It was around dinner time so I guess that is when they get the busiest. Like I said we had a big group and they did pretty well at making sure we all had plenty of water at our tables. The food was very good also.

I kind of feel I should wear cowboy boots and rock up with a mysterious grey between my legs but I'm guessing that isn't appropriate for Garforth. However, we are talking meat here and grilled. Pure and simple. With that in mind I went for a light starter and fish and cheese feature quite highly. The main event has to be well the mains though. It's steak or meat just the way you like it. That's not excluded vegetarians. You can have a stilton and mushroom burger or try the veggie special of the day. In fact I went for the stilton and mushroom burger and it met my seal of approval. Good stuff so far. Don't forget to save some room for the sweets too but only if you like more American themed ones. How about some brownie, apple pie or New York cheese cake. I better stop dribbling now or I'll get carted away by the funny police. To add to it's appeal the price won't set you back an American airfare either so there really are plenty of reasons to have high noon here.

I am asking the reader to help me out here. I need you answer two questions in your head and hold…read moreonto those answers as you read this review. Firstly would you expect Christmas in a restaurant to be busier than normal? Secondly, what would you expect a STEAK house to specialise in and sell lots of? I attended this restaurant with some work colleagues for a Christmas meal. All was well and we were seated in reasonable time and allowed allowed time to peruse the rather satisfactory menu. The problems started when we ordered, they had been busier than usual and didn't have any steak! A member of staff explained that they had had to send a delivery of steak back because it was substandard (hang on, they boast in the menu that they source their steak from carefully approved farms to maintain a high standard). I was told that they had some fillet steak left but that it was reserved for more expensive meals so rather than just paying extra for the fillet steak I would have to order a complete set meal costing rather a lot. We settled for what ever we could find on the menu within our budgets. To be fair the staff were pleasant and helpful in most ways and were not to blame for the mismanagement. At a later date, and after further complaints, we were given vouchers to use if we would return for another meal. We did this and were able to sample the steak which was as excellent a steak as I have experienced.

The host was welcoming, friendly and informative and more than happy to talk you through the food available and I had a gorgeous mixed kebab to start with and a tagine for the main course. I thoroughly enjoyed both and the spirited conversation with the waiting staff (Hassan?) who was more than happy to accomodate any special needs by ourselves and surrounding quests. My companion ordered a dessert but couldn't eat it all so they happily wrapped it in foil for her to take home. It wasn't cheap but it was quality food, value for money and I had the feeling the table was ours for the night if we wanted it and children were happily catered for. I could envisage having a large family gathering for an alternative Sunday lunch here as it was a warm welcoming environment. Will certainly go again to try the tapas, which someone on a nearby table was tucking into and it looked really good.

Reet, now I know I have written a review for here before, but after a visit tonight with the wife…read moreagain, I felt like I had to come back on here and give it another review. I wasn't sure how I could beat my last trip there, or the 5000 trips before it, but tonight has been a blast... Let me paint you a picture (with my words of course).. As its my other half's birthday tomorrow, a few days ago I got a special offer through the post for a huge 25% off our bill, and a free bottle of house wine, clearly to encourage me to spend the her birthday there and reward me for my previous custom - but as its one of our favorite restaurants - lets just say we don't need much convincing! So we pulled up at about 5pm on a gorgeous Friday evening (tonight!) only to see the car park packed and wondered would we get seated - we goes in, and bless the girls that seated us, actually thought about where we were going to be sitting, and popped us on a table away from the other families in there with children (not that I have anything against kids at all!), but she recognized we were a couple having a meal together - so thoughtful and showed she thought about it! We sat on a table that wasn't on top of other ones and got down to ordering our food - oh and getting our complimentary bottle of wine - deeeelish!! Hmmmm, droool, the food... Chicken livers for the wife and duck spring rolls for me to start - crispy rolls, filled with duck and on an amazing sweet chilli sauce, she had livers that were meaty, cooked to perfection and almost melt in the mouth - in fact I am drooling AGAIN thinking about it now! Mains were fishcake for me, and slow roasted lamb with some ribboned pasta that has a name but I cant remember or spell it - anyway it was GAWGUS - meaty lamb, no fat, pasta cooked to perfection - oh my word I could go on but wont... Cos I will end up soaking the laptop... Service wise, very attentive, talking to us whilst taking our order but certainly not intrusive at all, knew there was a birthday when I had handed over the voucher for the free wine - I'll do anything for a free wine! - and took a real interest, asking whose birthday it was and wishing her a good un! I though this in itself was lovely but imagine my surprise when at the end of the meal the staff brought out an ice cream with a giant sparkler in it and sang Happy Birthday for her - aw it was a lovely touch and to be honest really made our night... I love this place and although people find it slightly more expensive, I don't, and I'm certainly not one to spend money without thinking about it. Its a complete you get more than what you pay for place, and for an evening meal like this I would have paid double - definitely a place to go!
