Had poached eggs and smoked bacon on muffins. Waited quite a while for the meals Portion very small, hardly any bacon, which was fatty. Tiny sized eggs, and yolks too firm, Not good value for money. No-one come over to ask if our meal was OK!

Stood wait in at the ‘please wait to be seated’ sign for over 5 minutes whilst the manager just sat on her laptop facing the entrance. A couple leaving told us to just go in and take a seat as they had to do the same and no one approached to seat them. Probably shouldn’t have a sign and even if you do then you should acknowledge customers you see waiting. After ordering online the service was and food was more than satisfactory. But the welcome could do with some work.

Hmm. I double checked to.make sure the other reviews were talking about the same place I went to. They definitely are.... Maybe the venue was having a challenging evening the night I went, or maybe it was new staff. Nicely decorated inside. Clean, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. You can park directly outside. Ordering through an app. Bit clunky but works. Painfully slow service and food all came at different times, even allowing for an incorrect order. Burgers were vastly overpriced and just okay. Churros dreadful. Soggy and tasted not great. Painfully slow service. No checking back and table left uncleared. Not planning on returning.

Came to Northallerton for work, and wanted a nice restaurant to eat in, with a good solid menu, and Ontano didn't let me down. I went for the homemade lemonade, and spicy broad beans to have straight away, and ordered 3 choices from the tapas menu, and added the tenderstem broccoli on the side. I had the wings, squid, and prawns and everything was 10/10, in perfect portions. The broccoli was also well seasoned and plentiful. The lemonade was very special and has sherbet on top, which went very well with the soda - would highly recommend. Overall great experience, with lovely friendly staff, and very reasonable pricing. If you're in Northallerton looking for somewhere to eat, look no further. Cheers.

Went for lunch with a friend. She ordered from the vegan menu which had lots of options.. noticed there was also an absolutely amazing gluten free menu- my son has coeliac disease so will definitely be making a trip back with him! I’ve never seen such a good GF menu! Both our meals were delicious….staff really friendly ... also loved the decor…

On arrival we stood by the sign saying "please wait to be seated" one of the ladies behind the bar shouted across saying "sit where ever you want" We chose a table towards the back as it was quite busy in the main area. Having sat for nearly 15 mins with no one coming over we realised that ordering via the online app was probably the way forward. Having ordered the app asked if I wanted to leave a tip........ we hadn't even been greeted really let alone served!!! I reluctantly paid for the food in advance as this seems to be the only way to order here. Nearly 20 minutes later, we got our drinks and 30 minutes after ordering, we got our food. The food was very poor, both dishes were only just warm, this was quite a surprise as my wife's grilled sandwich was nearly black. The onion rings and chips were tepid at best. I got a chicken flat bread. The chicken was clearly not cooked from fresh as it was dry and tough and again the whole dish was only just warm. The table opposite us finished eating and left, the staff walked past the dirty table 4 or 5 times. About 25 minutes later, another group went to sit at the table and staff finally cleared it. Shocking service, very poor food and high prices for your trouble. Avoid and go to one of the many nice places in town.

I am from Southampton and was stopping over for the day. I can happily say that the food was good. Everything we ordered was delicious. The food was served quick and hot. The atmosphere was great. Prices were not too bad. The menu catered for all 5 of us, and the bill was 103 pounds, including drinks. No one struggled to find something on the menu. Parking on a Sunday is free, which was a bonus . I would definitely recommend this place . I can't wait to visit next time I'm in town.

Visited today for the first time for my Mum's birthday 14/3/24. We were met by a very friendly barman/waiter who let us just chose our table (it was very quiet, 9.30am). We were told we could scan the QR code or go up to the bar to order, we ordered at the bar. I had the Lounge Eggs with Smoked salmon and it was absolutely delicious! My mum had the same with the mushrooms and my sister had the full English which looked amazing and in her opinion is one of the best she's had. The decor really is stunning (hard to believe it used to be a bank)! Food is quite pricey BUT you do get what you pay for Will definitely be visiting again and have already recommended it to friends.

As a party of 8 we tried to get 2 tables outside but there was a big issue sales woman sat at one of the tables and we kindly asked her if she could move to let us all sit next to each other but she refused so we didn't end up eating here and went elsewhere, she was very annoying so we probably wouldn't want to eat there anyway

We went on a Sunday night and it was fairly quiet. The food was tasty. The tapas is competitively priced, but the portions are really small. The pulled beef chilli was particularly disappointing as it was about 80% accompaniments and 20% beef chilli.

For what looks like a sparkling dining experience from the outside, it was pretty lacklustre within. The waitress at the bar looked sick of her life, could not tell us what drinks were part of the Monday deal, "just say a drink and I'll press a button on the till to see if it's included" could have taken a while. My partner's meal of choice was out of stock along with the pasta dish. After we did order, one of our party's dishes was missed of the service, they apologised for this and prioritised the order, but even then did not have the buttered chicken included in the meal in stock, so it was just normal chicken, no complimentary offers or discount offered to make up for this, pretty poor, the food was actually tasty tho, but rather meagre portions for the price. Would not recommend, better off going to Witherspoon's.

The staff were really lovely and friendly and can't fault the service at all. Food was a little disappointing, took a while to arrive, and was only warm. Ordered 3 milkshakes which seemed vastly over priced for what tasted like store bought syrup in milk. I know well-behaved dogs are allowed, but we were seated near a group with a dog that barked at everyone who walked past, doors being opened and what seemed like every movement the owners made. Really off putting

Wavering between 3 and 4 stars, the menu and ambience promised so much however a few minor things added up to a disappointing experience for us which is a shame as we were having a small celebration. Firstly we were greeted pleasantly and told half an hour wait for food which we accepted as would have a drink; after a long wait for someone to take our order we were told to order at the bar - Yes this was on the board at the door however this was obscured as we entered (later heard other waiting staff specifically telling customers this). Therefore sat a long time with no drink or food. Upon ordering we specifically requested if the salad was made to order each time "Yes, it is", perfect - so ordered minus the red onion, also no onion in the other plate. Got to the bottom of the salad, after wondering why tasted strange, to find the missed red onion that hadn't been picked out in the kitchen ie not made fresh to order :-( . Our other plate was beetroot and feta flat bread - again this contained spring onion. Although otherwise tasty it was extremely difficult to cut the flatbread, a suggestion would be to serve the flatbread in wedges on the side to use as a scoop. No-one came to enquire, as is usual, how everything was, hence no feedback left in the Lounge. In the Ladies - one cubicle = no toilet roll available, another cubicle = seat broken - not the standard expected given the 'feel' of the place and prices paying.

An interesting place, with lots of art on the walls. Looks like replicas of famous paintings, or at least, in the same style. The high ceilings add to the open feel, however there are far too many hanging lights making the ceiling cluttered.

Really nice building, they’ve repurposed the bank really well. Staff are lovely, & the food was great. Menu is limited if you don’t like spicy food, granted it isn’t too spicy but if you’re completely intolerant like me the menu is cut down a lot by things like Spicy Rice without the option of plain. Definitely worth the visit, my favourite place to eat in Northallerton by a mile.
