Restaurants near Newby Mill

On Saturday, we had an early evening meal at the Spinningfields restaurant prior to going to the theatre. The restaurant was absolutely packed and very noisy, but I suppose we should have anticipated this on a weekend afternoon. We invited two guests, one of whom was celebrating a special birthday. Neither had been to The Ivy before, but we'd recommended it highly based on our several previous visits. Service was of the usual high standard, professional but friendly. The food was overall delicious, though one of our guests ordered a steak medium rare and the one he received was nearly well done. He insisted on not making a fuss, so the staff weren't given a chance to rectify the situation, but it was nevertheless disappointing he didn't get what he asked for.. Unfortunately, the same guest was also seated in a chair with an arm rest that was tattered on the corner. We were a bit embarrassed as we always rave about the beautiful decor and ambience, which was a bit of a letdown on this occasion. The meal ended on a high due to the delicious desserts we all enjoyed. The birthday girl in our party loved her birthday box, and the rest of us loved our chocolate bombes. Overall, we had a nice time and a tasty meal. It's just a shame everything wasn't perfect for our guests.

A very enjoyable afternoon, good food and good and relaxed service

We had a lovely meal with friends. The service was great and everyone was extremely friendly. We took our dog with us and we felt very relaxed and welcomed

Decent overall. 2 of the 7 dishes wasn’t that good but the rest was fine. Not to bad price wise. The chicken wings on the special was the best dish.

I had stop going because I found the restaurant it self cold to sit in even though the food was great so we decided to give it another try and it was great the place was nice and warm n the food was just how I remember it the soup was piping hot and the bbq ribs were beautiful I had chicken n pineapple which was great my friend has chicken curry we will certainly be going back
