Great steak but let down by the lukewarm scallops that were missing certain ingredients as advertised on the menu. Staff were friendly although not very attentive. Had to get up and ask for extra drinks after waiting some time and had to ask again for the table to be cleared. Won’t rush back.

Straight to a choice of tables - nice. The Primitivo previously on the wine list has now gone - not so nice. Food arrived on a plank which meant bits fell off as there was no lip - not nice. Coffee served in a plastic mug - weird.

First off: food and service were good-at least 4 stars. Negatives: too expensive compared to equal or better restaurants in ilkley; atmosphere was subdued; the owner or major domo (I think) struggled to appear genuinely hospitable. We left the restaurant feeling pretty sorry for the business.

Ordered the steak night deal which was for two. Waiter told us he would do something so 3 people could enjoy the deal. Paid normal restaurant price for third meal. Would have expected £25 for third steak and sauce, £50 for other two, including a bottle of wine, but no, £25.95 + £2.95 for sauce, for third person, but only one bottle of wine between three still. No flexibility there.!!!

We took our friends along for Sunday lunch and although we enjoyed it I did feel the meat (sirloin beef) wasn’t as good or plentiful as on previous occasions. Still enjoyed the trimmings though.

From start to finish a great time. The starter was excellent pulled pork scotch egg. The main course was a perfect steak for 2 people to share our host Georgia was brilliant and full of knowledge. I would not hesitate to recommend it .

Smell of disinfectant upon arriving. Weren’t shown to our table. Starter sent back because it was stone cold. Lack of atmosphere, which means you just want to eat and go. Nothing there really makes you want to linger for longer and perhaps order more coffees or drinks.

Well -have visited twice before as the moody cow & have had two very good experiences but last night was very poor - 2 of our steaks were as much fat as meat & under done - one other steak was grissly - thought £3.50 was a bit steep for 3 onion rings one of which was over cooked ! This was a birthday celebration so we were very disappointed -complained about it & were offered two free meals ....but we still had a bill of £185.00 for 5 people ! Very expensive for what it is -won’t be visiting again.
