Angelica in Leeds

I had a virgin experience bought for Christmas, had a great time the waitress was out of this world very friendly and had a very big smile all the time.

This is not my first visit to Angelica. But I think it needs to be addressed as this the third time the experience has been not so good and going downhill. After Ivy Asia, I have decided to take my family over to Angelica to try their quality drinks. As Angelica has a wonderful view and great drinks. Upon arrival we wait for staff to seat us which was a quick and smooth experience. We were told we can sit anywhere where not reserved. So we look around the place is half empty but a bunch of tables reserved and so we picked one near the bar side which had no reservation sticker. We sit down and wait, no one comes to serve us. So I decide to order via the app. Once I ordered about 6 minutes later, a server comes and asks us to order drinks. The music was loud and I couldn't make out what she said and I said 2 times we ordered via the app and she left. About 5 minutes later, another staff member comes and says guests arrived and table is booked! And I tell her we have ordered our drinks and she goes, "well you can sit anywhere else, it doesn't matter." And I say, "what do you mean it doesn't matter I can't change seats on my order and I've already paid?" And the staff member proceeds to evict us from the seats despite it not having a reserved sign anywhere. I tell the staff member that they are attempting to take advantage of us. What happens worse is that they move us to middle of the inside part, get a supervisor/manager to resolve our issue. While this happens another staff member brings over our drinks to someone else the exact problem I have raised. This just adds salt to injury. Our seats taken away, drinks served to someone else (they didn't take them they rejected it). This was the biggest red flag. While we waited the supervisor/manager came back in 2 minutes after investigation and offered a full refund as they were unaware if they can do it/how. The supervisor/manager has offered the drinks free of charge but we rejected as, at the time it is inappropriate to accept it as there were no guarantee the seats that will be offered will be there for us. Therefore, I have told directly the supervisor/manager that she could have the drinks herself as customer is not important or wanted. Best way to summarise it is, a good looking bar that's half empty with bookings that have no people and a place where your paid orders go to someone else but not you.

Excellent time yesterday. We were celebrating a Baby Shower. We were a small group and we were given a lovely little room all to ourselves. We had afternoon tea and I had a meal from the Al acart menu. The food was delicious and the service exceptional. It really is a fantastic place We were welcomed very warmly and the staff couldn’t do enough for us.

During the initial stop of a birthday excursion in Leeds to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, we stumbled upon a remarkable bar. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and escorted to the rooftop area by Francesca, a delightful and enthusiastic young lady who went above and beyond to ensure our day was exceptional. She thoughtfully presented a small cake and a personalized chocolate message that read "Happy Birthday, Chris." Francesca demonstrated exceptional customer service by attentively catering to our beverage needs. She is undoubtedly an asset to Angelica Craft House. We express our gratitude to Francesca and look forward to returning in the future.

Nice place to have a quiet drink on the roof top bar (Angelica)before it gets too busy later on in the day/evening . The meal was very nice in Crafthouse and the waiter (Seb) was fantastic and very knowledgeable, overall a really nice experience, just a pity they are both closing in December due to the enormous hike in lease rent.

The atmosphere is fantastic, and there are friendly people around most of the time. While the cocktails could use some improvement, the overall experience remains enjoyable. The staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and cheerful.

Lovely ambience and great food. We had the best waiter. Seb was amazing. So attentive, so helpful and made the dining experience fabulous Such a shame this bar and restaurant will be closed by Christmas

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere; scallops were delicious, nice combination of flavours

I usually hate doing reviews because I just can’t be bothered writing one, usually just never go again and leave it but this place wasn’t great at all. The food was bland and not really hot when it was served. Just the whole experience was not what we expected and for the money we spent, there are far better places to eat in the city centre.

I sent this feedback to the restaurant back in April when I visited and they didn’t have the Coutesy to respond so now im posting on Tripadvisor : I just wanted to provide some feedback, as didn’t feel like I could do this at the time as was in the company on friends whom I was catching up with after a long time and it was a special occasion. Myself and my friend ordered the Hereford roast beef, mine was well done and hers pink. My friend was not able to eat more than half one piece of hers as it was a chewy- my well done beef was such poor quality - full of fat and gristle and had I not been dining on a special occasion with friends whom I had not seen in such a long time I would have sent it straight back. My 3rd friend who had the cod enjoyed hers and therefore felt obliged to leave a tip, however I want to let the kitchen know that this was not the feeling of myself and my other friend who had the beef. It certainly was not worth the price point or the 12.5% gratuity I completely appreciate you cannot do much after the event, and it was my choice at the time not to send the food back; however I won’t be returning and left the lovely setting and service hugely disappointed by the food. I hope you are able to utilise the feedback. I did give the opportunity for someone to get back to me after messaging you on Facebook but your customer relations failed on this one.

Great choice of cocktails, mix of special & classic and all the ones we had were great Nice food, too, and great service

Quick lunch before cinema on a Sunday. Excellent food, brilliant service. It was very quiet so no atmosphere but there were only 3 tables occupied! It's got a great look so I imagine when busy there's a really nice vibe

Spontaneous choice for Sunday lunch before cinema trip. Great location, tasty food (although I could have eaten more!), brilliant service. Surprisingly quiet. A nice treat.

I was there for my friends birthday dinner, I liked the restaurant and also friendly staff, but I had steak and I believe the food could be better

We had a lovely 1st wedding anniversary with a virgin gift of an afternoon tea with prosecco for 2. Jenny our server was really lovely, professional and a pleasure 👌. The food was lovely and we really enjoyed our afternoon. Thankyou.

Treated friend for her birthday, really enjoyed the alfresco dining, food was lovely, service great, we had a lovely afternoon

Some of the tapas served through the night was outstanding. Service let down by one member, but the rest were excellent. Outdoor space on rooftop was great on a summer's evening. Free bar paid for by work always helps.

Stacy was very attentive and lovely server.

Lovely ambience and quality food and drinks...free drinks for the graduation celebrations was a nice surprise

Fabulous bottomless brunch. Lots of Prosecco and delicious food. Lovely waitress called Assia. Definitely recommend

Definitely recommend! Maciej best bartender Great experience and lovely service!

One of the best places l have visited in the UK. Very stylish and classy, top notch. Have open terraced areas to sit in the sun in summer. Restaurant is on the 4th floor, above it there is a bar with a DJ. Will definetely visit it again. Regarding the booking you can book it 15 min before arrival, there are always tablets available.

Love this roof top bar, fantastic cocktails.

The food was ok the service was terrible,and it wasn’t even full, so slow then added service charge to bill🤦‍♀️

Looks like a really gorgeous place, and had a good atmosphere. The music was jumping but the staff were really rude. On arrival we were told that if a table came free outside we could sit at it, but when we sat down we were told to ‘get up’. We would’ve stayed for more drinks if we weren’t made to feel so unwelcome.

Honestly unreal food & atmosphere!! Seb was our waitress he was kind & very attentive, highly recommended. 100% worth the experience x

Sepher in particular was amazing! Really attentive, very nice to chat to and a great addition to the staff

Shepehr served us this evening and he was absolutely fantastic, genuinely nice guy, really attentive, really took the time to make conversation and make sure we had a great evening

Disappointing, not as good as the last time I was there. Food was very patchy.

Came for drinks for my mate's birthday and our server, Stacey, was amazing. We were never left without drinks and she made our experience incredibe

Fantastic vibe, Francesca our server was lovely and made the experience a really excellent birthday evening! Cocktails were top-tier and the food was delicious.

Lovely cocktails and great views from the outside area. There was a DJ playing chilled music which was nice. Drinks are quite expensive.

We had a great bottomless brunch last week! I had to leave a review just because every single member of staff were so great! From bar to the runner staff and management, they really made the afternoon lovely and we will definitely be returning because they were so attentive and pleasant.

Went for an afternoon tea as a Xmas present which was lovely. The location view and service are all good. The food was nice but not outstanding. The sting on the tail.... £10.50 for a rum (sailor jerry) and coke is frankly extortionate.

We are from Los Angeles visiting relatives and we booked a High Tea. Initially, we were served with nice friendly service as we sat down and placed our order. After that not one server even came back to ask if we needed refill with teas or water. While the three tables around were served with three times and they are all Caucasians. We are Asians. Please tell me there is no discrimination here in UK. Even after I had to flag down a server and her mannerisms were not quite friendly. This gave me a very bad impression with a restaurant like this.

Amanda D was incredible !! Out of all the places I have been she , by far , showed the best customer service! She was keeping an eye on every table , making sure everyone was happy , we mentioned the bar upstairs and she instantly knew we wanted to take our wine upstairs so she made sure our drinks were taken up and a table was ready for us! The food was brilliant but by far the experience was made by Amanda and her knowledge and experience!

Went for Sunday lunch with my family for a special birthday. The food was cooked perfect...we all had roast beef. The staff were all really nice and made us feel special.It is a beautiful restaurant and the atmosphere relaxed even though it was busy..Will definitely go again. Thankyou

Afternoon tea was amazing! We loved everything on it - it was delicious

We ate at Angelica's. They currently only do snacks but they were great. The staff were attentive. We sat outside and the view is lovely.

This is in the heart of Trinity. A really fancy looking restaurant for celebrations. Service was prompt. Food was a bit of a let down with the taste but the dessert was divine. Good price for a three course meal, would be nicer if a drink was added.

Eve made our bottomless brunch experience so fun and was so attentive throughout, will definitely be back!! Thank you Eve 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Lovely experience, had drinks with my friend & Jess hosted us, she was super friendly and attentive. Recommend cocktails that we would like. Thank you! Would recommend.

Just visited for drinks, served by Jess - she was a fantastic server. Drinks suggestions were fabulous, exactly what we were after for a mate date Friday night. Wonderful experience.

Came in for a quick drink… Sat for 10 minutes without being able to order a drink. A further 25 minutes later after we had finally ordered our drinks had still not arrived. I’d understand if they were busy but it was not. We asked for the bill straight away when we got our drinks as this was supposed to be a “quick” drink… First time we have been after having been told how great it is and not looking likely that we will return

We had a wonderful time there yesterday afternoon. My friend booked us in for bottomless brunch, good value and the food was delicious. A shout out to our server, Yasmin who looked after us and kept the Aperol Spritz flowing 🍹

The staff are incredibly rude. Granted it was busy, greeted with a full on look up and down and then it didn’t get any better with staff barging into us, and asking us to keep moving!

Wow.! Went to rooftop bar for a beer. The atmosphere was fabulous on a Saturday afternoon. Will return to the restaurant for sure.

Bank holiday Saturday. Not that busy. Spare tables. Still no drink service after 30 minutes so we left

Shown in, sat down and waited for 20 minutes to be served. Nothing! Left without being served

Really nice bar & resturant, and nice added bonus that there’s blankets and heaters on the terrace overlooking the cathedral. Would go again & have been quite a few times actually!

loooove this cocktail bar in leeds!! i’ve never tasted their food, but their cocktails are ABSOLUTELY devine and even better, they do a 2 for 1 deal which i always get 🤣🫶🏻 whoever serves us is ALWAYS lovely, smiley and so bloody polite which makes the experience all the nicer. there is nothing more romantic than being sat on angelica’s rooftop with your partner watching the sun go down with a lush cocktail in ya hand 🥰

Celebrated my brother graduation, the staff were very helpful and wrote a congratulations on the dish. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the coffee.

I received a Virgin Experience voucher for Angelica Leeds, so my partner and I went. It absolutely exceeded our expectations! The food was delicious, the staff were so lovely - there’s plenty of restaurants where the waiting staff breathe down your neck and are too attentive but this wasn’t the case here at all - I think our waitress was called Eliza and she was really sweet. We went at 5pm on a Friday and it was nice and chilled. I’d really recommend this place!

We tried here on a Monday night before a concert and it was Eat Leeds week and was £25 for 3 courses and we couldn't fault it, nice food and good staff.

Lovely little bar with great service & fab views xx

Cocktails, cocktails, cocktails, no food had on this visit but the barstaff are happy to make a multitude of deliciousness ans even tweak to requirements. Go! Enjoy! You are welcome.

Me and my partner came here for the Virgin Experience Dinner. The woman who was on the front desk wasn’t very welcoming and did not show us to our table despite showing everyone else who came in to theirs. Whether that was because we was young or because I had the pre-paid experience I’m not sure. Following this, the menu was very limited and the food we ordered did not taste like we were at a nice restaurant. I had paid for a 3 course meal and when we received the bill, they had charged us for the dessert even though it was part of the set menu. I had high expectations for Angelica’s and was left disappointed. Because of this I would only choose to drink there due to the nice drinks and views, however, I will not be eating there again.

I went for a work event. The girl on the desk (sorry didn’t get her name) was extremely rude and looked down her nose at us despite the event being paid for in full. The staff basically left us to it and didn’t serve us and when they did it was slow. The only good member of staff was the gentleman with the beard and blonde hair sorry didn’t catch his name and also the girl serving the canapés. Everyone else was extremely rude and non attentive given it’s meant to be one of the nicest bar in Leeds so disappointed won’t be coming back!!!

We went tonight as of a virgin experience Christmas present, and it was absolutely outstanding! Lin and the bartender (didn't get his name) were amazing! We didn't feel like we shouldn't be there even though we had a virgin experience day (we've had this before at other place) they were welcoming, warm and friendly. Incredibly punctual with service and OMG! THE FOOD! It was so well balanced, not tiny portions that left us starving and also not massive piles of food. Presented beautifully and just stunning I can't recommend it enough we will definitely be coming back! The cocktails were stunning I had a negroni which I like heavy on the campari and my partner had a gin martini which all were done perfectly! Amazing service, food and drinks! What a great team!

Been here a few times. Always a great place to go for a drink / food with great views of Leeds. Sometimes the security on the door can be a bit aggressive but overall, nice place.

Had the ham hock for starters and the chicken for main (the rosti was amazing) The service was really good, always checking on us. The place looked a little tired inside, looked like some work had been done but not completed. Not something I want from my experience there as I wouldn't expect it.

A lovely spot, attentive staff, wonderful city views . Drinks only - great selection and a super experience. Day out with my sister , next time we ll dine. Highly recommended.

Nice, little too pricey for my liking.

Had a few drinks here with friends 💯 recommend

I didn't eat much here as we were headed out but the drinks are phenomenal. They are expensive though but you get what you pay for.

Another great find - mum's and daughters day out (8 of us). We had the Sunday lunch with free flowing red wine/or prosecco. Fantastic decor, delicious Sunday lunch and great service by Amanda, who look after us all afternoon - such an asset to the restaurant. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Table service was slow but the old fashion was well made

Third time experience: I went here the third time for NYE and this is the last time I will go here. I called ahead asking for a cloak room which they were said to have but upon arrival they were full? Where are we supposed to hang our coats in the middle of the winter? First time experience: The view and interior on the terrace is absolutely amazing but the service does not impress me. The cocktails were ok and overall the experience was ok. Thanks to the terrace view I'd drop by one more time to see if the service is better. If not I'd probably not be coming back.

Booked a table for myself and husband for a few drinks to celebrate his birthday as we very rarely get out with having children. After having our meal we headed here, we were seated quickly and was offered a table inside or outside we said we didn’t mind. After that it all went down hill, we sat and waited and waited and waited until my husband said I may as well go to the bar to get drinks so I did. Well I tried to! When I got to the bar and stood to wait one of the superior front of house staff asked if I was ordering a drink to which I said yes but we hadn’t been seen to so was just going to order at the bar, she asked what I wanted then told me to go sit down. Which I did, twenty minutes passed and our drinks still hadn’t arrived. At this point we’d already written the place off as poorly run on this particular evening. A set of four ladies were seated next to us when somehow they managed to not only get an order in with a waitress, but managed to get 2 drinks before we had even got ours! After almost thirty minutes of waiting our drinks arrived no apology etc. My husband had had enough and I can’t say I blame him, we certainly felt singled out because how can one table seating two people wait 30 minutes for a set of drinks for a table to be sat directly next to us get seen to and have there drinks before us? We then decided to go stand in the terrace where what appeared to be the shift manager/manager was walking around when we went back in we saw him hovering over our table so paid the bill and left They want the table so badly have it. We certainly won’t be returning for over priced drinks to be looked down on!

My first visit to Angelica & it is a beautiful venue. Sat looking out over the city at dusk, just beautiful. Only downside is that it's not comfortable on the outside balcony as it's full of smokers!

Only had drinks there but was amazing 🍸

Went there for food on 20th Nov to celebrate my birthday. We both had delicious steaks. All of the staff members working that day were fabulous. The lady serving us was called Julie and she really was excellent! She was very attentive and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place. The food was of a very high standard and the service was also very very good. I’ll be returning here for sure!

Amazing rooftop bar for those sunset cocktails in Leeds. Great view over the city. Friendly staff. I would definitely consider this bar to enhance my relaxing shopping experience at Trinity Centre.

Lily served us and was amazing. was already and accommodating she made the entire place great.

Went for drinks yesterday took our dog on the terrace super friendly staff lovely drinks the weather was poor but nice an warm

Went for drinks. When presented the payment terminal the server had already typed in the amount - different prices to the printed drinks list and there was no option to accept or reject the so called 'discretionary' 12.5% service charge. If you don't give the customer choice then it's a mandatory charge and you should make it clear. Really underhand way to get more money on top of already expensive drinks. Expect to pay in the region of £15 a drink.

Quality restaurant and staff. Thank you for unexpected surprise birthday cake.

We were extremely pleased with the experience. Both Lilly and Kasia were very attentive and friendly, they made sure we were checked on throughout the night and offered us some blankets and cushions to sit outside. Service was fast and the cocktails were great. Thank you!

Very lovely staff. Great music. Had a lovely time. Beautiful place.

Amazing service from Eliza!! Fantastic drink recommendations and beautiful atmosphere, would deffo recommend ☺️xxx

Absolutely amazing service from Lilly, she does this place an absolute credit. Will definitely be returning!

Great find, food and vibe. We've looked across from the Marriott many times and thought we should try the roof garden across the road. Mission completed now we know what we've been missing! Firstly huge shout out to Zoe. Amazing and knowledgeable service. Zoe went out of her way to check how the "Stone Bass" main was cooked with the chef and gave an in depth description which sold me and my eldest son (chef/foodie). All the food was great, drinks perfect, temperature wine and the temperature on the rooftop in October was amazing! (We'd moved from the Alchemist as it was lovely but blowing a gale). When Zoe found out we were celebrating the arrival of a new member of our family she came back with glasses of fizz for us all complements of the management. Thank you for a very memorable evening!

£5.95 for 330 ml bottle of beer says it all. They brought the wrong bottles. Total rip off. I ordered two bottles, (to make a pint and a bit). That’s just short of £12 a pint. Not tight fisted but that is total rip off.

Such a gorgeous experience. Lovely drinks and the terrace was beautiful. Fran was so lovely and attentive and really made our evening.

Absolutely amazing time, came with friends and Fran was the best server I’ve ever had 10/10 time. Spicy margs we’re so good

Fran was exceptional and made my night so special will be back and great drinks will be back for sure

Fran was amazing. So accommodating and made our experience so special. She’s an asset to the company

We have been here quite a few times now and like to visit on a Thursday or Friday afternoon before the weekend crowds descend on the City centre. On our last visit we ordered a selection of nibbles to put us on and I think the choices we made were perfect . We especially liked the cod cheeks. John doesn't like Oysters but I couldn't resist the offer that they had on of 6 Lindisfarne Oysters and 2 glasses of @nyetimber for £34. The oysters were the biggest I have ever seen and they were yummy. Angelica's has a great happy hour that is actually 4 hours long. My favourite was the frozen pina colada and John opted for the frozen strawberry daiquiri. It's so nice to sit outside on the rooftop terrace and it's not a problem if it's a little chilly as there are heaters under the parasols.

Popped in here for a drink on my birthday. Sat outside, drinks arrived and was placed on the table. After only one sip, the wind blew over the drinks menu knocking over my wife’s drink all over her. The waitress was ever so nice an attentive. She kindly asked the manager if we could get another drink and was refused as it was 2 for 1 cocktails, was told one was basically free anyway. I could have argued the fact that mine was the free one and it was there flimsy menu that knocked it over, made no sense to me. We had to buy another, so we left after that and spent our money elsewhere. Not how you should treat your customers! We were planning on staying for the whole evening so you would have made up the money anyway. We will not be returning.

A really fantastic bar, great food, and incredible service from staff. The host is always warm and welcoming, as are the wait staff. The food offerings are good, although starters were ever so slightly lacking but perfectly suitable for a bar. I highly recommend speaking to Zoe for any requirements and thank you for wonderful visits.

we booked a celebratory meal and come from sheffield ; unfortunately there had been a misunderstanding in the booking and the table was reserved inside rather then outside. It was the last Saturday of our heat wave and was so hot indoors. Unfortunately there was no outdoor tables available. However our waitress Lin who shared our disappointment made up with ice cold water.and excellent service to the point of checking and keeping an eye on the next available outdoor table. Her service, care & consideration was exemplary with a smile and appreciating unconfatability with sympathy. I hope Lin’s attention to service doesn’t go unrewarded Thank you Lin’s from the family of four that you attended to Saturday 9th in the back corner. 🙏

Nothing but fantastic service! Shout out to Julie for her great hospitality! Mojitos we’re fantastic!

It was a nice place to celebrate the birthday 🎉 the atmosphere was perfect and the food was so good. I love the steak (but I will try medium next time, I think medium rare is a little bit too raw)

Just popped in for drinks. Luke served us and was super informative and beyond helpful. A beautiful venue.for a sunny Saturday!

Great food and pleasant atmosphere

Went for a cocktail in the sun for our 20th wedding anniversary. Cocktail not made correctly tasted sickly sweet. I asked for a replacement. A blonde waitress cane back with a bottle of soda to top. I asked her to replace for a gin &...

A first visit to Angelica in Leeds and we loved it! On arrival we received a lovely and friendly welcome, and shown to our seats next to the bar. It was a gorgeous sunny day so I asked if there was any availability outside, there...

Terrible service, atmosphere and rude staff. Do not come here unless you want to have a bad time

Great drink options, including some affordable options if you want to attend for the experience of the views and atmosphere, which was truly a wonderful atmosphere and our server, Eivissa, was very attentive and cheerful. Couldn’t ask for a better first experience .

Great place to take pictures as the bar is aesthetically pleasing 👌 Drinks are great, service could be a little better as staff seem to be slow to react in providing menus. However, this is a must visit if you are Leeds for a few days. I would recommend night times for atmosphere but daytime drinks if you want to enjoy some sun and chill out.
