It was the best steak that I have this year - been to the Hawksmoor in Manchester (twice) , Cibo (Manchester), San Carlo (Hale), Grande Cafe (Manchester) just to name a few restaurants that I have eaten in - but I have to say Cut and Craft Leeds was excellent steak cooked to perfection, Rib Eye and sides were very good quality, is it expensive .. yes but the food was great.

Brilliant food, 6 completely empty plates at the end and the same with desserts. Nice and airy with open doors etc. Good service maybe a little bit too long a wait before we were brought the dessert menu but that’s just a minor issue. Food excellent but a little expensive we thought. Overall we would return as the food was so very good, so thank you Salute.

We visited Smokyboys for a family meal, and I must say the service was excellent from start to finish. We requested a small setup for my son’s birthday (digger theme), and the team went above and beyond making the celebration special from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the calamari and prawns as starters, and they were impeccable. Every dish was full of flavor, and the service came with a genuine smile. Overall, the experience was *fantastic great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back! Keep up the amazing work, team! 😊👏
