Iris Restaurant

Rating: 4.7 (504) Price Level:
We received a voucher from our letting agents to try a local restaurant. We really enjoyed our meal . We had some snacks, starters, mains and an extra side . I had an aperitif drink and a wine , my husband had a cider . Without the voucher it would have been around £75. Service was good at arrival and throughout but slow in the end when wanting to pay. It’s a pretty restaurant with a nice atmosphere. I’d recommend as a good restaurant in Wakefield.

Lovely little restaurant serving top quality classics, often with a twist. Come here relatively regularly, always very good. They are very accommodating for our children, we come with a toddler to an early sitting and the staff are amazing with her.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Iris! The blue cheese arancini for starter was a standout with its well-balanced flavors and lovely texture. The confit duck leg for the main course and the golden snitch for dessert were equally delicious. The service from the staff was excellent. We will definitely be returning for more delicious meals! There was also a good atmosphere in the restaurant… it was busy but not too loud which a good selection of music playing.

Never had a bad meal here. The best Sunday roast in Yorkshire puddings to die for! Starters are a must i can never manage a pudding as well but they looks special. Staff are very attentive.

My fav place to eat out! I had my Christmas dinner here and will be my new tradition! Everytime I go whether that eat in or take out, I am never disappointed the quality is consistent every time. The food is tasty and the staff can not do enough for you!

All the staff were very welcoming. Ash was lovely, lively, welcoming and very informative. The lamb chops were excellently cooked and well seasoned and the special lamb and chicken karahi's (served in the pan after 30 mins cooking) were a taste sensation, the spicing was delicate and the meat just fell apart in the mouth. The mixed starter was also excellent quality with a variety of delectable dishes (the seekh kebab was tender and the bhaji was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle) 🤤🤤 We will definitely be back 😀😀

Probably the best curry place in Wakefield. Amazing food Great service Free car park at the rear of the restaurant or a payment car park next door. Good menu selection with lots of vegan / vegetarian options. They will also make to order Cash only, or bank transfer. Early bird menu is a good deal. Waiters Ash and “H” are very entertaining and provide good knowledge of the dishes. Food - Good flavours and decent amount of heat, lots of choice.

Rating: 4.4 (517) Price Level:
Booked here for 3 of us. The restaurant looked clean, tidy and modern. We were seated straight away. It was only a small menu but had plenty of choice. Our orders were taken and our food arrived promptly. The staff were friendly and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. They also sang “happy birthday” to my husband but I missed it as I’d nipped to the loo ha ha. But all in all we enjoyed our food and would happily return in the future. Oh I believe you can park for free in Newmilller Dam carpark after 6pm too.

Great place, the atmosphere is amazing, very modern, stylish and clean and at a great location too. There is a car park right next to the restaurant which is free after 6pm, and the entrance to the restaurant via the car park is also very stylish. The food was amazing both main course and dessert, and definitely leave feeling satisfied.The staff were lovely also. I’ll definitely will be back again. Highly recommend dining here.

The Dam Inn, Location, Location, Location! After a refreshing walk around Newmillerdam under the rare but glorious sunshine, my friend and I decided to pop into The Dam Inn for a bite to eat. Having not visited in a few years due to moving away, I was pleasantly surprised by what awaited us. From the moment we stepped inside, the warm ambiance instantly felt welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive, setting the tone for a lovely dining experience. Though we only had time for a quick snack, but the food far exceeded our expectations in both flavour and value. We ordered the Halloumi fries and the Sharing Nachos with Beef, both of which were nothing short of a taste sensation! The Halloumi fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully chewy on the inside, while the nachos were loaded with flavour and generously topped. It’s not often that you find such fantastic food at such reasonable prices, making our meal all the more enjoyable. The Dam Inn’s location is another highlight — nestled in a scenic area, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a walk around Newmillerdam. The combination of great food, value for money, and excellent service truly made for a memorable afternoon. I can't wait to return for a more substantial dinner soon. If you're looking for a place that ticks all the boxes, location, delicious food, and incredible staff The Dam Inn should be at the top of your list to visit.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nice meal, just me and my partner for my birthday. A little girl who wasn't supervised stood at the side of our table throughout the meal, asking 20 questions and asking if we had finished yet spoiled it slightly, so we skipped dessert. Not against children at all, but she was hampering diners whilst they are trying to eat and have a conversation, asking for 'coins' for the machine we were sat near to and for us to roll her yoyo back up. Maybe just a word to the caregivers from the staff would have helped.
Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely love this place, the food is always yummy and I cannot fault any of the staff. They are so attentive and even when you've only been a few times they remember your drink order and greet you like family. Also Josh always says hello and goes out of his way to make sure you have had a good time. Ive been to a few of the nights with entertainment and it's been great. Would definitely recommend. A great all round country pub with good food and excellent staff..

Rating: 4.4 (735) Price Level:
Robatary has always been a great spot for me and my friends. Unfortunately, the dish I always have had fallen short. The Crispy Chili Chicken with rice was just too salty for me to eat. The other food my friends had was still nice though. Don't get me wrong, the restaurant was till great, a good selection of drinks too. The place was clean and tidy. I will be back, but I hope the food is less salty!

Great service for our big party (10 people) Food was very nice. The seared tuna was incredibly tender. The Calamari was nicely spiced with a nice lemon vinaigrette. Good selection of desserts.

Second time visiting and as good as I remembered, my cousin who I I introduced it to loved it so much she went back a few days later to find there was a midweek offer on too. Food is gorgeous with loads of great options. A lovely place with nice decor and friendly staff.

Oh gosh…what a lovely place! Managed to get a table inside at lunchtime today but we hadn’t booked, but needed to eat. I had dietary needs but the lovely Liv (who was absolutely delightful and a fantastic smile) sorted it all out for me. We only had some starters as we are cooking at home tonight. Amazing place and looking forward to returning. This place is a real gem! We will be back! ❤️

Fantastic Sunday roast - beef served pink, delicious veg and yorkshire pudding all perfectly seasoned and arguably the best sticky toffee pudding I've had in years. The mister had the veggie option, which was a gorgeous mushroom nut roast - it reminded me of a tasty peppery black pudding, but obvs veggie. Yum.

A fabulous hidden gem! Having been to the Yorkshire Brasserie for a meal before, we decided to celebrate Mother’s Day here this year. The restaurant is decorated beautifully given a modern, stylish feel, perfect for smart casual outing. As we arrived to the restaurant, we were seated straight away, the staff were really friendly and made sure to cater for us promptly, keeping the busy flow of the restaurant running smoothly. There was a set menu with two courses for £27, or three courses for £33, which I think is a reasonable price for a good restaurant, especially on a Sunday. We opted for two courses, I chose the chicken roast dinner and the vanilla cheesecake. The food came really quickly and was beautifully presented, I really like that this place has an open kitchen too, always good to know that your food is being made to a high standard! The cheesecake tasted absolutely amazing! From start to finish, our experience here was brilliant, it was the perfect choice for a Mother’s Day lunch and I’m sure we will be back again soon!

Whilst a little off the beaten path, Tileyard North is a great up and coming venue for 2024. The Yorkshire Brasserie is the crowning glory! A great place for a special bite to eat, in luxurious surroundings both architecturally and decoratively. The meals served are exquisite, fresh masterpieces. The service by the team was exemplary: quick friendly and chatty without over intrusion. Very accommodating to our requirements too. My favourite so far is the Korean BBQ Crispy wrap!

Liv is an absolute gem! She was a brilliant waitress & so friendly and down to earth. Thanks so much liv & great job! The food is brilliant & a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend the mussels, buffalo wings & fish and chips!

I had the pleasure of dining at Silkwood farm, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was delicious, with every dish perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal. What truly set this visit apart, though, was the exceptional service. Lizzy, our waiter, was outstanding! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. She took the time to ensure we had everything we needed and even gave great recommendations from the menu. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely kind and dedicated to making your dining experience special. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Great food, great ambiance, and amazing service thanks to Lizzy! I’ll definitely be back soon.

Absolutely awesome beautiful food for breakfast for the price it’s amazing. Colette & sammii made feel so welcome. They could not have done anymore nothing was any trouble at all. As I have MND it means some times I’m unable to control my arms & hands. They brought me my coffee across so I didn’t end up with it all over me and the floor. I can’t thank them enough for kindness not just to me other customers as well.

We decided to visit for a nice Sunday carvery after our little boys swimming lesson. We were just about to go up to get it and then there was a power cut. We sat about for a while wondering if the power was going to come back on, it didn’t so we went up anyway and ate in the dark . The power did eventually come back on so we were able to get desserts. The staff were brilliant during the outage. It was a new experience but it hasn’t put us off from returning
Rating: 5 / 5
We all had carvery which was very decent price and great size. Meats were hit and miss gammon being excellent and beef being a little overcooked for our preference but overall very tasty. The deserts here were amazing especially for value, portions so big we had to take some home with us! Atmosphere was great really appreciated having a adult area which was quieter. All our servers were super attentive and friendly, definitely made the trip nicer. Thank you to our server Lucy for the experience.

Fantastic time at The Red Kite today. We took our 9 year old Labrador with us and the staff were so friendly and welcoming not just of us but of our dog also. They have a dog friendly area near the bar with an open fire, water bowls and blankets and a doggy menu. The food was amazing and didn't take very long to come. Great pub especially if you are looking for somewhere to come for a meal with your dog. We will be back again soon! :)
Rating: 4 / 5
The Red Kite is beautiful inside, very warming, and there are plenty of places to sit. There were 2 reasons why we only gave a 4 star, which were Service Speed and Price. Service was a little slow, and we did end up waiting for a good 20 minutes before we got any orders in and over 45 minutes for the food to arrive. We went on a Sunday (See Sunday Menu Picture) The prices are quite expensive in comparison to others around the area, you can make your own judgement. The food, though, was cracking! (See pictures) I ordered the Signature Burger with halloumi as extra. It was juicy, succulent, and mouth-watering. The plate of Sunday dinner was from the kids' menu, with a great portion size. The other meal pictured was pie of the day (ham and cheese pie) All the food was decent. You do get what you pay for here, but you will need to dig deep in your pockets. I would recommend coming here for special occasions. *Top tip* If you download the Vintage Inns app, you can get £20 off your first meal.

Andria served us, how lovely and professional she was. Made our breakfast extra special. Fires roaring. Food was good, will never give 5stars unless its outstanding, that's my opnion, and it has to reflect in price. Service makes the visit worthwhile. Well done and thank you!!!!

We heard that the pub had new ownership, so we decided to pay a visit and I have to say we were extremely impressed with the food, choices, service and the overall experience. I am a foodie and have worked in the industry for over 40years so my expectations are high, even the crockery and presentation was great. We popped in for a drink on Christmas Day and the owner, I think he was, came over and had a chat to us too, he was out cleaning the tables and that is an example of good leadership! Well done to everyone for bringing back a good friendly pub with home cooked food and excellent service. Definitely recommend you pay a visit and see for yourself.

This is our local and since it has changed hands 6 months ago we have noticed a good improvement. Food and the wine list in general is much better. The pies are really good and wine list much more appealing. I think Adam is definitely moving in the right direction to make this pub a success with the locals and the those just visiting for the day.

Stopped in for a bite to eat with my daughter and my brother for a pre-Christmas treat. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced! I had the steak, cooked a very nice medium rare in a lovely peppercorn sauce. My daughter had the kids chicken nuggets, she cleared her plate so no complaints there! In fact we all cleared our plates so we were all very happy! Definitely recommend!

An incredible meat feast! I could hardly fault a thing with my meal nor the service. The 'Full House' burger was top tier. A mouthwatering stack of chunky beef patties which had superb flavour, tasty pulled pork and bacon as well as thick wedges of brisket. The brisket was a tad dry in places so a little chewy but had amazing flavour from the smoker. The bun was sweet and nicely buttered but fell apart quite easily and was also a bit dry. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite though. The sweet potato fries were great and the coleslaw was some of best I've ever had. I also had a half rack of BBQ ribs. These were really good value for the amount I got. They were also up close to the best I've ever had. Very little fat and the meat was lean but had a nice crop coating from the grilling. It's not a cheap place to eat but you do get a lot for your money so perfect for a rare treat.

Found this place for a spot of lunch. We were the first ones in. The place was beautiful, clean, and definitely had a good feel place to it. The service was quick. The bartender and the waiter were both helpful. There were so much to choose from the menu (see photos) they gave us reccomendations on what meal was a fan favourite etc. We ordered: "Nachos" to start with then"The Full House" burger and "The Chicken and Halloumi" Burger. (See Photo's attached) Absolutely incredible!! Tender, Tasty fully stacked goodness. I was blown away with it. The portion sizes were generous for an 18 stone man it filled me really well. The price is standard, it's not cheap but it's not expensive either but the quality is definitely worth the money. I could not discredit the food here from start to finish. I would highly recommend coming here with family and friends if you fancy a meaty feast bonanza.
