Bar & Restaurant EightyEight in Harrogate

Sadly a very disappointing experience. We had the tasting menu that had very little pan Asian about it. The a la carte looked much more interesting. Service, unlike other feedback, was poor, chaotic and slow. Though we think a trainee may have been undergoing induction. Not all plates delivered were explained either. The monk fish was under for me, bordering on sushi which I love, but not in a cooked context, the wagyu lovely, whilst the chocolate dessert, even for a chocoholic, was sickeningly overpowering and needed a contrast. Sadly it just wasn’t for us. The maitre d did ask for feedback and did without asking reduce the bill, which was appreciated; however we would have preferred a fabulous dinner experience.

I enjoyed a truly exquisite dining experience at Grantley 88 . The quality of the food, the ambiance, and the exceptional service and attention we received from Ioannis, made it a truly memorable occasion

Ioannis's service is outstanding. Congratulations on his exceptional service. The restaurant is truly exceptional! The architecture of the building it occupies is exceptionally beautiful. The food is outstanding. Incredibly delicious cuisine. Ioannis's service was flawless, prompt, and cheerful, and we will certainly return!

We have been there twice as my daughter keeps insisting we take her there for her birthday diner. The place is stunning and set up in a beautiful estate. The staff is well trained, very polite and make you feel really welcome, but unfortunately this does not make up for the fact the food unfortunately completely over-priced, fussy and just does not deliver in terms of flavours or execution. It tries hard to compete with the Shaun Rankin restaurant (in the same estate) but I am afraid this miles aways from even flirting with the Michelin Star league.

This is one of the several restaurants at Grantley Hall. The place has a good atmosphere with friendly staff. We opted for the tasting menu which gave a good balance of flavours. The scallops were excellent. The sauce on the duck appeared thin but packed a lot of flavour. The chocolate desert was a bit rich. Neither of us could finish it. Overall i'd recommend a visit.

Wow! The food was absolutely amazing! We have had many tasting menus but this one topped them all. I booked last minute, there was only the bar area free, we had a lovely booth was so intimate. All the staff more amazing! Jack looked after us, what a lovely young lad! He knew his wines and all about the food ! Congratulations to the chef and team, absolutely amazing food, keep up the good work, we will definitely be back

Great ambience, modern design, delicious food - this place has it all! Scallops, dumplings and pork belly for starter were beyond expectations. Beef for main was made to perfection. We will be back!

Food, atmosphere, service. Excellent. Whilst you’d expect nothing less from a Grantley Hall restaurant, it’s easy for it to rely on exactly that fact. Everything was perfect though, and well worth a visit. Would highly recommend the Tandoori Lobster starter. A great way to celebrate my 30th. I hope to visit again soon.

This was the most amazing dining experience I have ever had. Everything from the staff when you first walked in to the meal itself was beyond exceptional. We both had the sample menu and everything was just exquisite. The staff are beyond helpful and friendly. It was just a fantastic experience from start to finish

We’ve been here before but had not previously tried the tasting menu and decided to give it a try. Wonderful meal and loved every course and we were pleasantly full at the end of it. Service was excellent and it should be when they charge you 12.5% for it. Lovely decor and setting. It’s not cheap and it was north of £600 for 4 of us, including pre dinner drinks, 2 bottles of a really nice Chablis and service charge. Would we do it again? absolutely.

Wonderful dinner experience. Beautiful restaurant atmosphere. Excellent service and wonderful food. We can’t wait to return!!

Excellent, original food and superlative service. We went to celebrate an anniversary and received a card and a special dessert. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable, food beautifully presented and delicious.

Stayed at GH for 4 days and this was probably the weakest restaurant offering - but still very enjoyable. The standout feature was definitely the cocktail selection - we spent some time at the bar after dinner trying all the funky smoking concoctions. Staff were amazing, food decent if a bit too salty. Music a touch too loud!

After a disappointing meal at Shaun Rankin the evening before this was really good. Food, service and ambience were excellent and we enjoyed a great night. Only negative is it is very punchy on price but nonetheless a really fantastic meal with some great flavours across all the dishes we had and dessert was amazing.

Went midweek, it was surprisingly quiet. Nevertheless because of the layout, lighting, and luxury decor both the bar and dining room have atmosphere. We had Korean belly pork , and Chicken starters both excellent and inserted a mid course Bau Bun ( if you have not tried one you should) which was very enjoyable. Highlight however were the main courses of spiced duck breast perfectly cooked with duck spring role. The other half had pork fillet which she hugely enjoyed. A special mention to the side KFC (Korean Fried Colliflower) which was extremely crisp and tasty- better than previously for some reason. Service was seamless and very professional throughout. Our server Maddy? was informative and charming. A lovely evening. A little expensive perhaps but very good.

Wow! What a meal. We each had the tasting menu and were blown away by it. Having a gluten and dairy allergy didn't stop the team from being incredibly accommodating and altering the dishes so that I could eat them. The biggest praise of the night goes to Wiktoria who assisted us through the night to get the most out of our tasting menu and was incredibly knowledgeable! We would come back here in a heartbeat for the divine food, excellent non-alcoholic drink options and top notch service.

A high end restaurant that won't book return transport for you so you have to leave your 8 course meal, walk outside because there is no phone reception in the restaurant, call a cab, discover they need a credit card to secure a pick up from an unreliable venue, go back to your table, grab your wallet to read out a credit card and return to your fellow guests waiting on you to return from what would have ordinarily been a request for a simple taxi booking.

This place just wonderful. Fantastic food, ambience very romantic and excellent service. Taster menus definitely worth a try

We visited for dinner for a special occasion and had a fabulous time The setting is wonderful. Contemporary, relaxed and sophisticated and you know you are in for a treat as soon as you walk through the door We were seated in a cosy booth for some pre dinner drinks and my husband had the ‘best margarita he has ever had’ and I enjoyed a lovely fresh and zingy mocktail. Great start to the evening Taken down for dinner the decor and atmosphere continues with style and sophistication into the dinning room. Initially a little disappointed not to be seated in another booth but our little table for two turned out to be just perfect We both chose the tasting menu, but with one vegan and the evening of tastes and textures began. Starting with a lovely chicken tea and vegetable broth both of which really packed a punch and beautifully presented with a beautifully decorated rice cracker. Without going through every course for you I will summarise to say we thoroughly enjoyed everything and was exciting to see each new dish arriving. As with everyone’s tastes being slightly different you may suggest little tweaks but for the menu variety and value for money there really is nothing to complain about The service was swift and attentive paying attention to wine being poured as needed and water provided throughout without needing to ask for anything. Our waitress was superb and kept us well informed on all the dishes and was genuinely interested in our comments The only slight draw back was a bit of a kitchen hick up towards the end which meant we waited a while for our final dessert and did have to leave before it arrived so didn’t get to experience the full menu. Real shame as everything was so perfect but maybe just a good reason to return Well done to all the team and sorry it’s not 5 stars but know it will be next time

The food is ok. That’s the most charitable description I can bring myself to write. Nice duck, nice chocolate desert, nice staff. Bit loud and the halibut was shamefully overcooked. Generally the dishes were a bit lacking in sophistication and flavour. The staff were very nice but it’s not enough to salvage this one. Really heavily overpriced for what they deliver. I’d give them a ‘well tried’

Poor quality food that in no way feels like something that should ever be associated with the Michelin guide, an atmosphere that feels like you’re at a cheap bar rather than a restaurant, and prices that are 4 times what they should be given the lacklustre menu put together for the taster. 2 stars because the cocktails were tasty, but that’s being generous given how unpleasant the food was. Avoid like the plague!

Travelled a long way to get here on a very wet and windy evening. First off, couldnt find it!! Better signs please but guess the weather didn't help. Decor is beautiful and wouldnt be out of place in a top London hotel / bar / restaurant. Food was served very well and excllent although quite overpriced for what we had. Poor selection of wine by the glass (partner was not driving) and atmoshpere was rather cold. Great cocktial bar area upstairs and looks like this is the place to be if you want to be seen. A bit disappointing overall for quality, service and the wow factor, particularly as this was an hour journey each way for us. I might go back if I was in the area but wouldnt make the special journey again. Good for variety if you are staying at Grantley Hall.

£29 for half a chicken breast; 10 times the price of an regular sized chicken breast. I’ve never paid this price anywhere in the world let alone in Yorkshire. More understanding would’ve been afforded if the ambience was good or the plate was delicious but...

We have been there twice. The first time we went for the a la carte and the second time we went for the tasting menu. The a la carte was decent however not brilliant as we didn’t know what to order. We decided to give...

We were staying at Grantley Hall and decided on our first night to book EightyEight, the style of both the restaurant and food sounded perfect for us. The mix of local produce combined with Asian style and flavours is a great concept and one that...

We visited last night for a meal. The food, service and staff were all amazing. Would highly recommend.

Delicious 8 course meal and coupled with beautiful ambiance Loved all the course but one Staff were attentive and friendly. The drive to Grantley Hall was picturesque but unfortunately the restaurant is not on the main building. Nonetheless the grounds were a beauty to behold.

The warmest of welcomes from Callum who showed us to the bar before we headed to our table, after chatting with Morgan and frank we were well on to the cocktails with the boys recommendations being spot on for what we like, lot to be...

Lovely setting and atmosphere. Food was average and very overpriced. Staff were attentive most of the time but clearly had issues in kitchen which was reflected in the time it took to get our dishes out. We didn’t order everything at the same time but...

We had high expectations for Restaurant EightyEight but were sadly left disappointed. There was nothing wrong with our visit but everything was just “fine” and for the price, I would expect more than “fine”. On arrival, we were shown to our table and the first...

On our previous visit to Fletchers we were served warm Prosecco and cold coffee. This time, at restaurant 88, it was very cold red wine!! Very odd How can a place like this get something so basic so wrong? Food was OK if a little...

Went midweek had a relaxing drink in a booth in the luxurious bar which had a nice atmosphere with about half the tables taken. We were invited downstairs to eat but preferred to have another drink upstairs, no problem. We we did go to the...

Lovely restaurant, excellent food and service. Delicious cocktails too! We went for a birthday celebration and were so well looked after, including a card with birthday wishes which was a nice touch! Will definitely return and look forward to exploring the other restaurants at Grantley...

Went with my brother and wife to 88 for the first time. Have eaten in the Orchard restaurant a couple of occasions but our first at 88. It was a nice venue but we all felt we were hungry when leaving and my brother who...

I read some of the reviews before we went and was a bit worried but could not have been more pleasantly surprised. We were made to feel very special from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere and decor is sumptuous and very comfy. We had...

Visited with family on a Sunday for my father’s birthday. Beautiful setting and surroundings. Food very good, however let down by service. If you are paying £40 for a bottle of wine that is put in an ice bucket away from your table, you expect...

I Booked a suprise birthday meal for my wife. I got a phone call saying they are keeping the restaurant closed now on Wednesdays and Thursdays. No alternative, very little apology, like it or lump it. We are Grantley Manor we dont need your custom...

Thought pan Asian vegan menu may have fantastic flavour. Each dish tasted the same. Of nothing. Disappointing.

Since the pandemic started, I have felt a little bit nervous about sitting inside when visiting restaurants. I didn't feel that here, though, as all of the tables were well spaced out, and we were seated in a booth/alcove just for our group. We had...

Went on a busy Saturday night for a birthday celebration. Unfortunately I had made an error with the booking but the front of house guy was fantastic and got us a booth table in the bar area which was very much appreciated. The cocktails are...

I would have given this 3.5 really as there were a few things we didn't enjoy amongst some excellent cooking. The restaurant itself is set in stunning grounds, the interior and courtyard are beautiful and the staff friendly and attentive. We chose the Sunday sharing...

My husband and I were staying at the hotel and had a lovely meal here. We enjoyed the cocktails and the food was excellent. The staff were friendly and gave us good recommendations. The vibe of the restaurant was really good and I would definitely...

Had a really nice meal but the service let it down. Firstly we sat for quite a long time before our order was taken, we started to think we had been forgotten about in the corner. We ordered edamame as a snack but it never...

What a fabulous experience, we came for a family member’s big birthday. Sam, the manager, came over as he remembered us from a previous visit and just picked the conversation up where we left off months prior. We were then served by Kat who was...

We stuck to the small plates and weren't disappointed. So much choice and all delicious! I think the best was the Duck & Pancakes. So succulent and tasty!

And again, another perfect meal. This was our first family outing since lockdown 3.0 eased, but was doubly special as it was any brothers 21st. Not only were we treated with complimentary fizz and canapés, but Sam, who finished work an hour earlier stayed to...

I took a friend for a birthday meal, last Friday and wow, it was exceptional. With a friendly meet and greet at the front door, we were taken to a table on the Norton Terrace, where Ant served a fabulous cocktail to us on the...

Must be my 5th visit by now and was as impressive as the first. Clearly not phased by the lockdown cos reopened with same consistent top quality. Lovely to see all the same friendly members of staff.

A lovely surprise visit to Eighty Eight @ Grantley Hall. Started off at Norton Terrace, looked after by Ant who had a great knowledge on the perfect drink too start off with! When we arrived at Eighty Eight we were wowed by their outdoor seating...

In these early days of post-lockdown dining this was a great experience. Fantastic staff with the right balance of friendliness with (in)formality. Food of the highest quality and flavour. Very effective space heaters, blankets etc. Limited, but excellent menu. Superlatives would go on forever. Great...

We booked 88 for an early evening,New year's eve meal almost two months ago and specifically asked the question about the menu on offer. I was assured it was the usual one and that a special one for hogmanay was not planned. Two weeks ago...

Another outstanding meal by the team at EightyEight; delighted to see that Sam has now been promoted to Restaurant Manager, very well deserved. Took my housemate for his first visit as was lead entirely by Sam abs he didn’t disappoint. Pork wontons and XO rice...

We visited a few weeks ago for the first time and just wow! We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who asked us to scan into track and trace, then showed us to our table. There was of course plenty of sanitizer stations...

Such a lovely experience from the moment we drove through the main Hotel entrance to leaving the spectacular grounds, Visited Restaurant Eighty Eight for lunch - Superb food and I mean "superb", authentically Asian and a total joy! Service to match! Fabulous all round :-)

Easily one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited. Been a few times and can’t wait to return, Sam and the rest of the staff go out of the way to make your experience special every time. The food is unreal and the drink goes...

Incredible from start to finish. Sam Stoddart was incredibly knowledgable, friendly and courteous and made our experience on to remember. Will definitely be coming back!!

Having heard great things regarding Grantley Hall and in particular restaurant Eighty Eight from friends and family I was eager to see what all the fuss was about. From arrival at the restaurant to departure everything was seamless, attentive but not over the top, Sam...

Eating at Restaurant EightyEight was a truly exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Sam and his team were nothing short of brilliant; very friendly, incredibly attentive and somehow able to make you feel like their only guests! Nothing was too much trouble and their...

We visited Eighty Eight as part of our 2 night Magical Moments package at Grantley Hall. We were reminded of our cocktails that were included in our package and randomly selected a couple of Asian-inspired drinks that arrived in a metal teapot and in a...

As always, the service is faultless as one has come to expect at Grantley Hall. Restaurant 88 is simply stunning inside which helps make a fantastic atmosphere in which to dine. We had the tasting menu for the first time on our last visit which...

The restaurant is in the basement of a stunning new circular building, a very short walk from the hotel, so has no natural light. The ambience is clearly aimed at a younder generation, as it is dimly lit and has noisy piped music (seems to...

We ate at 88 during a 2 night stay at Grantley Hall. I have to say that Sam and his team were fantastic - you could really sense the teamwork, ease of pace and attention to detail which all comes from great leadership in the...

Delighted to be back at eighty eight this week . Walked into a lovely welcome from Sam . Staff always seem to make you feel like your their only guest. We felt very safe & staff have obviously been well trained about social distancing but...

Cannot thank Bar88 & Norton bar for making my 21st so amazing! Cannot thank Sam enough either in bar 88 for everything he did, he couldn’t have done enough. Not the first time I’ve been and certainly won’t be the last!!

After a meal with some friends it goes without saying that Sam and his team were outstanding throughout the evening. The Tuna starter was very refreshing. Would highly recommend. An amazing restaurant ran by an amazing team.

We visited just before lockdown and simply had to return once the regulations were relaxed. We had the duck for Sunday lunch and it was terrific. All the accompanying side dishes,from the miso broth to the kimchi and the bao buns were excellent. Superb food...

I took my husband here for our anniversary - we had the tasting menu and weren't disappointed. Every course was delicious. Beautifully presented, and very tasty - I would definitely recommend this place. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the Spa excellent. Probably the nicest...

We had a feeling that 88 was going to be something special as soon as we entered this stunning,contemporary building,which nestles,comfortably in the perfectly manicured grounds of the classically,beautiful,Grantley Hall. All the food was devine and faultless. We had their Sunday sharing menu of bulgogi...

We were a group of 6 and had a lovely secluded booth. The service was excellent as was the food which was extremely tasty.

This restaurant will not only blow you away with its decadent decor but also it’s food. Staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and offer advice and recommendations from their own personal experience. Big thank you to Sean for his recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cauliflower and...

We went here for a meal with friends and family and everything was exceptional. we had a cocktail in the bar before going to the table, which were lovely. Downstairs where the tables are is so nice, it's a really lovely atmosphere and there was...

This was our second visit to eighty eight which did not disappoint again. We asked for the venison to exchanged for the bao buns which I was so happy we did. The best bao buns I have ever had, they are lighter than air. All...

Great spa and me my wife have been to lots but this is by far the best we have ever stayed in. The room, spa and restaurants are second to none especially Shawn rankings whose 9 course taster menu was the best we’ve ever tasted....

Very smart new surroundings. Lots of staff. Good service. Food was tasty and well presented. Wine list was generally expensive.

Amazing location, design, service and food! We were shown downstairs to one of the booths where we had some very tasty cocktails. Then had a couple of dishes to start and some mains. The duck and pulled noodles with beef were incredible. Quite expensive overall...

My second visit was even better than the first. The venue and food help create an amazing experience and excellent staff are the icing on the cake. The duck main course was a particular stand out.

Really enjoyed this restaurant the food we are not very familiar with so the six of us opted for the taster. There were eight courses and not one días appointment even for the fussy amongst our group. The service was attentive without being intrusive and...

Visited 88 for lunch having had the taster menu one evening in October. Lunch was absolutely wonderful, we opted for the three course set menu and enjoyed every dish served. This gem of a Hotel continues to impress each and every visit. Exquisite flavours throughout...

aA brief visit to a newly opened hotel that seemed to have what one would really like to find in a hotel. there was no disappointment

The overall experience was honestly amazing, from the greeting we received to the service, then from the amazing cocktails to the exquisite food everything was perfect. Firstly, the interior and feel of this place is something else the actual setting is amazing, and our welcome...

Seriously stylish inside with a vibe more akin to a trendy place in London. Cocktails good (but expensive), food prices reasonable, wine very good. Service excellent. Food good.

Our First visit to Eighty Eight at Grantley Hall. We opted for the 8 course taster menu and most certainly was not dissapointed. Each and every course had an abundance of flavour. Some stand out dishes for us was the sea trout, cauliflower, steak and...

EightyEight served genuinely interesting dishes, leaning most of the way to the Japanese originals but with a touch here and there to mix it up. The portion sizes hit the middleground nicely - big enough to share two dishes between two but small enough to...

Welcomed in the restaurant and straight to the bar where our bartender paddy advised us on which cocktails to have and his suggestion could not have been more fitting to our taste. Before going down to our table, in the beautifully decorated restaurant. We were...

We had dinner with friends. The food is unusual and absolutely excellent. It was clearly explained to us in terms of content and taste and lived up to all expectations. Be adventurous you wont regret it

On arrival we sat at the bar and was greeted by James, who was pleasant, polite and helpful. He provided us with great cocktails! P.s THANKYOU James! After a cocktail each, we decided to move downstairs to dine. A couple of minutes later we proceeded...

We enjoyed our meal at EightyEight, the Pan Asian Restaurant within Grantley Hall Hotel. It is located in an external dome shaped structure a short hop from the main building & has been beautifully fitted out. It has covers at ground & basement level plus...

One of the most incredible meals I had in a long time. Well thought out menu choices and flavour combinations, beautiful surroundings and excellent customer service - Oana was faultless in her attentiveness, rapport and customer care. The venison was particularity stand out, and the...
