The Brasserie at the Cedar Court in Harrogate

For a 4 star rated hotel, the evening menu and the service were both totally uninspiring. Luckily I only ate there on one night. I asked the server for some tartare sauce to go with the fish and chips ordered, he told me there was none left…5 minutes later, I was approached by another member of staff and asked how I was enjoying my meal. Of course I mentioned that it was pretty poor that they had run out of tartare sauce. I was told that I had been misinformed (i.e lied to) by the original server, presumably because he was to lazy to go to the kitchen to get it. Maybe my standards are a little to high and I should expect bog standard food in a 4 star hotel. Fortunately most 4 stars I have stayed at over the years have been able to serve up food of a at least a reasonable standard and with some consideration for the guest by the server. The menu prides itself with the slogan “a true taste of Yorkshire”….that I would suggest is very much a matter of opinion. My opinion, if you can, eat elsewhere, that might then force the hotel to both make the menu more inspiring and also ensure that they employ proper staff rather than uninterested kids.

We were staying at another hotel but booked to go into the teepee for a meal. I rung the hotel to book a table in the teepee about 3 weeks ago. They confirmed in the teepee on the date I asked for. We turned up to find that the teepee was booked out for santa. They said nothing about this at the time of booking & no mention of this on their website at the time of booking. Yet only says it now on their website! We booked cedar as had been in the teepee before & wanted to take our daughter to experience the teepee. Got told they should be able to fit us in the main restaurant & that they'd give us a free drink! Decided not to eat here beings we were not getting the experience we had asked for & booked. Struggled to find somewhere else as everywhere was busy. Very disappointed as came here for a break away as a family & was really looking forward to our cosy meal in a teepee, expecting it to be magical. No courtesy call to let us know or anything. Yet they took all my details!

We were invited to dine with my brother and his wife during their stay at the hotel. After studying the menu and making our choices we were told a few minutes later that two of the items were no longer available. Following some hasty choices we placed our second order. The first courses arrived and were quite simply, pretty average. Not at all what we expected from the kitchen of a hotel such as this. The second courses arrived and without going into too much detail, these were just as uninspiring. My partner tried a few mouthfuls of his meal and left the rest. When the waiter asked if the food was alright, my partner remarked that it wasn’t and asked the waiter to take it away. The waiter kindly offered to replace the meal but my partner declined. The main message here is that we have had much more enjoyable meals at much better value in many ordinary pubs.

Great dinner, well presented. Lovely comfortable dining room. Nice choice on menu. Excellent breakfast with a good choice.

Excellent qquality food.Would highly recommend the steak.Breakfast was amazing with so much choice.Staff very helpful

This was a fantastic evening in Harrogate. Pablo, our waiter was fantastic. As we ease our way out of social distancing, this structure may become the new norm of dining, I hope so. I recommend anyone who wishes a European dining experience, without having to leave our shores to book a table in the Tipi, and have a thoroughly good time. Gary

Had a pleasant meal in the outdoor Tipi and was very well looked after by Jackie who was extremely pleasant and helpful and added to our experience

We ate at the Cedar Court and really enjoyed our meal. The room is very grand with an amazing ceiling. I had a mixed grill and all the meat cooked to my liking. It included rump, lamb cutlets, pork steak, gammon and 2 very tasty sausage with chips mushroom and tomato. My wife had a flatbread with very nice chicken strops, salad and fries. Very good food quality.

Beautifully presented food, but portions were small, taking into account the price. Service is friendly. But the restaurant has a lot of tables down the middle that feel as if they are in the walk way. The booths are nice. Breakfast is buffet, a good selection, with staff who have high expectations of the service offered.

Attractively served meal. Well cooked. Service was slower and had to be summoned after the main courses.

Quite nice but nothing special, staff were lovely and the food was suitable. Doubt we’ll return anytime soon.

Plenty free tables, limited, same choice menu each evening. Could do with a few "specials" although the soup did change each evening. The fish in the "fish and chips" dish should be traditional haddock or cod not some cheaper fish.

Limited bar menu & pub style tables. Nice food but hotel prices. Polite service. (Be aware if intending to eat in bar that you might find tables reserved-even though not used throughout evening).

I’d give them 7/10. They cooked me a brilliant 8oz rib-eye steak. Medium rare, but nicely charred on the outside. Meat itself was soft, but the best part was the fat, which was tender and sweet. Chips & cheese cake were good, but not exceptional. I did witness a few people complaining about their food and the service, but we did not experience any issues.

Service great but the food on afternoon tea so bland. Like they got it all from a supermarket, nice comfortable room and views but was only just worth it at half price

It's gone and has become The Porterhouse Restaurant. This can be reviewed seperately by myself and other travellers.

See my recent review of Cedar Court Hotel. They need to get their act together. Staff (other than Steve, drafted in to improve matters) seem to have little interest in customers and the food is pretty dire.

The bar menu was fairly limited but the food was good nonetheless. Efficient service and helpful staff. Comfortable armchairs in the bar area with low tables meant the bar meals (lunch and evenings) can be eaten in comfort. Not overcrowded and all in all an ideal place for a small quick bite to eat.

We purchased afternoon tea through groupon. The bar had a nice atmosphere. The bar man provided excellent customer service & an amazing pot of coffee. The food was nice although bread was a bit dry , the cake was really nice. We loved it !

Great recommendation choice from Rosin Waldron. We had a lovely stay. The family room was perfect. We enjoyed the breakfast.Just needed to get up earlier to make the most of it all. Will be coming back again. Friendly and helpful staff. Late bar fantastic.

Sala con comedor privado para acomodar a aproximadamente 25 personas. Otras habitaciones también están disponibles y es perfecto si, como nuestro grupo hay una variedad de edades. 9 meses a 14 años y 16 adultos con un total de 21. Personal fabuloso atento comida, nada era demasiado problema. Todos disfrutamos muchísimo de nuestra estancia allí y recomiendo el lugar para todas las edades.

It had a lovely steak and the chips were properly cooked not those frozen chips or fries many places offer. They were busy but the service was friendly and helpful

Went as part of a group on a busy evening and had a very good meal, good wine and mostly excellent service. The puds are a little on the modest size (for the price) but nevertheless tasty. The only thing I found a little odd, at the end of the meal, instead of inviting us to retire to the bar area with our coffees (or even asking if we minded the working around us - which, of course, we wouldn't) the staff set about cleaning the tables and setting up for the next day, right up to where we were sitting (on a long table). It just made us feel a bit uncomfortable. OK they wanted to get sorted out, and we understand that, but there might have been a nicer way to go about it. That is just a small point though, can't fault the food, wine or the ambience - the lighting is subtle and there was relaxing live music when we arrived.

Relaxing atmosphere,brilliant service staff can't do enough for you,,excellent food well presented,dont miss this little gem of a restaurant

Called in for a few drinks before going into town for food. They had a full bar and we ordered some drinks and relaxed in the big bay windows looking out over the grass. Loved the comfy sofas and the staff where attentive and friendly.

Late booking and took this as we knew we could park on the front of the hotel - the rstaurant was a bit scruffy with tablecloths on the floor - presume from last night's banquet. Friendly staff somewhat challenged by language but we ordered from the set Sunday lunch - roast dinnes was good - - pork with large yorkshire pudding - but the seafood rissotti was boiled rice mixed with warmed prawns - and the vegetaian option was an overcooked tomato tart - not great.

Went with friends for afternoon tea had plenty of tea and coffee finger sandwiches fruit and plain Freshly baked sandwiches dainty cakes so much that our hostess was given a party bag to take home staff very friendly nothing too much bother there was a wedding on but that added to it as we could people watch would recommend !at the moment the brasserie is being refurbished plans and mood board are on display and look very contemporary !will visit again

Called here for afternoon tea , took a while for anyone to come and help us or offer drinks even though told to go and wait in the bar area for assistance,we eventually got seated and served ,the selection of sandwiches were nice the scones had been made with too much starch we mentioned and it was instantly sorted as an error had been made , they offered drinks which we declined we were sent more sandwiches as no scones ,the male and female waiter were very apologetic and helpful couldn't ask for more .

Afternoon tea very poor. Booked weeks ago as a treat. Arrived at 2.30pm for our booking and was asked by 3 different staff whether we wanted tea or coffee before it arrived. Had to ask at 3.10pm where the food was as we needed to leave at 4.00pm for our return journey. It eventually arrived! Sandwiches were dried up at edges and very obviously not freshly made. No crisps as advertised on travel zoo deal. All in all not what we were expecting as a relaxing treat. There was a wedding going on whilst we were there and staff were very stressed. Perhaps they shouldn't do afternoon tea on wedding days if they can't cope.

This was not a classy or top quality experience in terms of the hotel decor etc., and the Afternoon Tea was not 'high quality' either. However, there was plenty to eat (not usual for Afternoon Tea), and the staff were very good.

Very pleasant evening meal, food well presented, good selection on the menu to choose from, would recommend the risotto.

We did not stay at the hotel but had a meeting for our association followed by lunch from the bar . Most of the party complained that the food and soup in particular was only lukewarm . The quality of the sandwiches at £5 60 plus was not the quality one would expect from a hotel of this class and several people abandoned their fish and chips as inedible . Such a disappointment . Had we been happy with the food we might have returned for further events but I'm afraid we were thoroughly put off !

Visited here in a group of 14 friends for afternoon tea. We prebooked and they were able to cater for gluten free. I was pleasantly surprised when I was brought my own tea stand. Gf finger sandwiches is soft gf bread, 2 warm scones, chocolate brownie and a cream meringue. The top tier had an assortment of fruit.My only criticism would be I had to share jam and cream with the rest of the non gf party which wasn't great for the risk of cross contamination from crumbs. I took mine first to get around this but an individual pot of each for me would have earned 5 stars.

I have met with business colleagues here within the last week for a lunchtime meal and meet. The bar food/ snack menu is extensive and offers a wide variety. We had chicken salads, pulled pork bap and an egg cress sandwich with a selection of teas available. Sue the bar staff member was serving the whole bar area on her own which on reflection is a credit to her as a member of staff, as over lunch most of the tables were filled. Prices maybe a little steep for a topping of chicken on a salad totalling £10- so me and my college shared... but in all- a very welcoming, professional stop off, and a lovely hotel in all. Stopped here for a two week course many years ago.

Ate in the Brasserie whilst staying at the hotel on Christmas Eve. The food was really good, and good value with a reasonable choice. Staff were friendly and looked after us well.

We went there on Decembre 22 , good food specially a fish, good service , the restaurant have a big area and big windows this locate in a a building with a lot of history

The Brasserie is lovely, where the menu is always fresh and innovative offering modern and traditional dishes.The staff are always helpful and friendly.Always enjoy a meal at the Brasserie.

Very disappointed with the lack of service!!! Christmas party season 2 staff on the bar (very good) still waiting for my crab tian?! Not good. Fair enough you pay for what you get (cheap) but lots of waiters/waitress but did not get my wheat free menu I ordered months ago after ordering!!! Garbage is all I can say. Will not be returning!!!!

The menu looked lntresting , I chose the fresh plaice on the bone very disappointed after I had taken it off the bone I was left with about 3oz , not worth the price. Staff were helpful and it was taken off the bill ,it should not have been served.

We were staying at the hotel and the weather was heavy rain, so we decided to eat in and were very happy with our choice. The food was lovely, spiced cashews and olives for nibbles, duck confit scotch eggs, sea bass in a parcel, rib eye steak, crime brûlée and a wonderful raspberry and white chocolate "trifle". We are surprised that the brasserie is not more highly rated on trip advisor. Waiting staff pleasant and efficient. Recommended.

We chose to eat in the first night. Then as the food was excellent we chose to eat in the following night too. Staff were lovely too.

The Brasserie was very quiet the night we ate, which suited us well as it was our 41st Wedding Anniversary meal. The restaurant was well laid out and comfortable and the service was very good. The menu choice was sufficient for us to choose a couple of dishes, although a little more selection would have been nice. The food was well presented; hot and delicious.

We booked a table for a family meal on a Friday evening for 7.30pm. When we arrived, it was clear that there was a wedding on and the bar was extremely busy. We arrived a bit early, so decided to head to the bar for a drink before we sat down for our meal. As we approached the packed bar, the wedding guests/bride etc actually stopped talking and stared at us as we walked in. We felt so awkward and uncomfortable that we went to reception to double check that the bar wasn't closed for a private function and that we were allowed in. We were assured that the bar was for public use and that the wedding party would be moving back into a function room for the evening reception shortly. We still felt that the wedding guests didn't like us being there and they made us feel like gatecrashers, so we quickly got a drink then went to the restaurant area to sit down at our table.A waitress brought us some menus and as there were three children in the group we asked for the children's menu. My sister-in-law had asked on booking if there was a children's menu, and was told not as such in the restaurant, but the bar menu had children's options on it. We asked for this bar menu only to see no children's meals on there. When asked the waitress she said, we don't do children's meals. We explained that on booking we had been told children's meals were available from the bar menu and these could be eaten in the restaurant. The waitress disappeared and another girl came back and explained that the kitchen could do pizza and chips, fish fingers and chips etc.The first that struck me on looking at the menu was how limited it was. After 10/15 minutes our order was taken. Almost an hour later our meals arrived! The children had ordered pizza and chips - the pizza was bland and dry and the chips looked anaemic! I ordered chicken and leek pie. What was on my plate was like nothing I'd seen before and at best can be described as a greasy, deep fried quiche, a small potato rosti and a pile of vegetable peelings described on the menu as 'vegetable ribbon salad'. Our Guinea pigs get better veg! All I could smell was dirty chip fat like you'd find in a roadside, greasy spoon cafe. As I cut into my pie, the fat leaked out onto my plate. I was hungry so ate as much of it as I could - I wish I hadn't bothered, as my meal made a reappearance at 2am when I found myself praying at the Armitage Shanks alter! My husband had sea bass and the portion was so small that he'd eaten it within 5 minutes and asked when his main course was arriving as he'd finished his starter! My sister-in-law had ordered steak and most it was piled up half chewed at the side of her plate!We decided to order dessert as we were still hungry but no one appeared to clear our plates for a good 20 minutes or offer us a dessert menu. We all ordered a dessert each eventually but once again had a ridiculously long wait until that arrived. Even on finishing our meal, there were no staff about to ask for the bill. We finally got the bill but there was then no one about to take payment. In the end we asked to see the manager and explained to him how poor the service had been and how disappointed we were with our meal. He gave us 30% off our bill as an apology. So we will not be returning to this hotel! The wedding was clearly the priority for the staff that night and to be honest our booking should never have been taken as the staff just weren't available to give us any decent quality of service in the restaurant. The food was dreadful and overpriced - to be honest I'd have had a better meal and better service if we'd gone to McDonalds!!

We went there with a Groupon for an afternoon tea. The place was modern and tastefully decorated. We had a good selection of well prepared and tasty food. Service was professional. Really enjoyed it!

The food and the staff are excellent at this hotel. They cannot do enough to help and make sure everything is ok. The service is excellent, it is very good, clean and in a beautiful location.

great food at reasonable prices you don't need to leave the hotel for a great meal if the weather is bad

Stayed in Harrogate the end of September 2015 with another couple we went to the Brasserie on the Saturday evening for the early door menu it was beautiful food, well presented and great value.The ambience was really good and the staff were friendly.

Excellent evening meal, beautifully presented. The meal was included in our stay and I did not expect it to be that good but it was!

My friend Cathy invited me to afternoon tea, we were booked in for 2pm and arrived shortly before as we were unsure about parking, There was ample parking at the hotel so was not a problem. We were greeted at reception who offered us the brassier or the lounge to have our afternoon tea, we chose the lounge for the informal setting and was shown to our seat, we were then introduced to Sue who would take our drinks order. We were then presented with a lovely arrangement of fresh sandwiches with assorted fillings, several cakes and scones with jam and fresh cream. Sue was so lovely nothing was too much trouble for her, she was chatty and kept us topped up with refil drinks, if we needed anything she was there, and when finishing her shift came to say goodbye and directed us to the barman should we require anything else. This was a most an enjoyable afternoon in very relaxed and comfortable surroundings and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend for afternoon tea.

We had a Living Social voucher for afternoon tea and so booked in here for today. There is plenty of parking at this hotel - although the parking for people with a blue badge is not that close to the front door. We were directed to the main reception to book in and then taken to a choice of tables in the Brasserie, we chose one by the window. A very cheerful waitress called Sue greeted us and asked us what we wanted to drink, there was a choice of teas and we chose Early Grey. After fetching the tea Sue asked if we would like iced water as well and fetched us a jug of iced water which was very welcome. The main event - the cake stand arrived, on it were eight sandwiches with six different fillings including egg mayo, beef, ham and chicken to list but a few. The sandwiches tasted fresh and were most enjoyable. there was two scones each, one fruit and one plain. The quantity of cream and jam was not really enough for four scones but I think had we asked for more it would have been provided - we actually took two scones home! There was four small cakes each including a Victoria sponge, a piece of Bakewell and two other small cakes - all very tasty. Sue came by our table to ask if everything was OK and of course it was, Sue was a delight to interact with and also very professional. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon tea - highly recommended.

We arrived and got access to our room immediately even though we were an hour and a half early! Sue was especially helpful and took some great photos in front of the fountain for us to put on Facebook etc.

we were staying in the hotel and my husband booked us a table for our 11th wedding anniversary,the meal was absolutely gorgeous and the staff were very attentive yet not intrusive,and the chef did us a little surprise arrangement of desserts with a lovely little happy wedding anniversary message on the plate in chocolate,overall lovely meal and would eat here again

We had a living social voucher for afternoon tea for two, which we used for our first ever visit to this large hotel. Situated opposite The Stray it is in a very nice location. We chose to sit by the large window in the bar area overlooking the garden/fountain area. The lady behind the bar was helpful and efficient, requesting a selection of plain sandwiches which included cheese and tomato, egg, chicken, beef, ham. Cakes included Bakewell tart, a lemon/ rice (?) cake, choc brownie, Victoria sponge, a plain scone with jam and cream and fruit scone with butter. Far too much so we packed excess up in large serviette to take away. A large, spacious bar area with comfy sofas and chairs. Extremely quiet on a hot Sunday August afternoon. Peaceful place. Tea average and nothing different but pleasant environment. Large free car park.

Four of my family recently had the best afternoon tea ever and a fun afternoon !Fresh delicate sandwiches, homemade dainty cakes and scones jam and cream at a bargain price of £15.95 pp- sometimes a 2for 1 offer ..Staff were very attentive to our needs and the hotel offers three areas to eat in being the Restaurant the lounge or outside if the sun if shining.Such value for money what more could we want☺

The staff here are always very helpful and friendly. However, the seating is not comfortable if you stay to eat. The soup left a lot to be desired. I have only been here twice to meet a friend after work, as its conveniently located. I think after the last visit we shall be looking for a new venue. Shame as the head barman is a credit to the place. The only advantage is free parking if you can find a space at 5.30 pm. Mostly used by businessmen.

The same menu every night of our stay. Service was very good but the food was disappointing and portions small (Sea Bass). Lamb shoulder was, to all intents and purposes, a lamb burger.

Food was trying to be that found in a brasserie but fell short...the head waiter was very good but seemed to be running the place almost single handed with two badly trained waitresses

Leek and potato soup that was tasteless, stodgy and undercooked 'fish fingers' and a tuna sandwich that a three year old could have executed better. Never again!

Really friendly service, they couldn't do enough to make us as comfortable as possible, in fact the hotel staff and manager's gave us everything that we asked for.

If you should stay at this hotel (recommended) try and eat in the restaurant at least once. it was a great experience. Also allow time to take a slow breakfast, truly the best

We had purchased Advanced DBB and excellent meals in the Cedar Court. The service was great and the food for dinner was excellent. I would recommend anyone eating in Harrogate to consider The Brasserie. I imagine a little expensive but well worth it

Good food but very quiet atmosphere. Service was good and we could use our Gourmet cards for 50% off food items which made our meal good value for money

Relaxing atmosphere to enjoy an evening meal. Staff very friendly. They were attentive but not intrusive. Food was lovely, well prepared and presented. Plenty of room between tables to allow for privacy. Good menu choices from both the daily menu and the A la Carte menu.

Friends who were staying at the hotel for a weekend break invited us to join them for dinner. The staff were friendly but very disorganised and the meal was truly dreadful. Two items on the daily 'special menu' were unavailable, as i was told they had been the previous day. Two main courses were sent back because the meat was too tough to cut let alone chew and even when they had been zapped in the microwave, or whatever, they were still impossible to cut. A 45 minute wait for the sweet menu was bad enough, but when, after a further 10 minutes the waitress came back to say that one order was 'off', our patience was wearing thin. i must give the waitress full marks for trying. Three hours after starting the meal she breezed in with the bill and hoped we had all 'enjoyed our meal' - looking at our faces she edited her comment to 'well I hope the rest of you enjoyed it'!

after hearing the advert for this on the local radio station for a couple of years I joked and said am not that special I have never been Big mistakeWas surprised and taken for lunch by my daughter Communication on arrival none Food only just warm Main course arrived warm and dry no sauce and to ask with no apology Deseret arrived uncooked raw sponge mixture which I had to send back( chief sends his apology !!)My husband contacted them and reply was should have complained at the time I was taken out by my 18 yr old daughter how would it make her feel if I sat complaining every course I work in the food industry I know you have minimum temperature which should be checked before service this wasn't done less why would I get raw sponge mixture? and I should have complained more at the timeWould not recommend the restaurant lots of other lovely in harrogate

There was nothing not to like, the food was hot and tasty and the staff very attentive. The restaurant was very full both nights we dined there.

The food is OK with some choice however the wine selection is well over priced for the poor quality served!

The starters in the restaurant were the worst I have had and not cheap either. The tomato soup tasted like a packet mix and the fishcakes (1 and a half - 3 small pieces) were no better than extremely cheap fish fingers, pretty flat and surely not homemade! The service was extremely slow- our drinks took nearly 20 mins to arrive and we had to go and ask again for them. The mains Were ok. However, we asked the waiter if it came with veg, he said yes and of course it didnt arrive.We asked him about the veg and he said he would check with the chef. He later came back to say no, it didnt come with veg. We asked him if we could have some because he had got it wrong and he said he would get it. 15 mins later after we had finished our mains, he wandered into the room to another table. We called him over and he said, oh sorry, I forgot. Deserts were running out and we had the choice of 3. 10 mins after we ordered, the waitress came back and said they had run out of the one we ordered. They were pretty average, bought in we suspect. There were no spoons either...another wait! This so far had taken 1 3/4 hours so we gave coffee a miss. The table next to us had been in 2 and a half hours! All other tables in the room had the same problems. We were all laughing in the end at how bad it was, and finally, they had all the wrong food and drink down for our table when we came to pay. It was no laughing matter considering the meal came to around £50 with only 2 drinks. Breakfast however was lovely, how could it be so different!

The food in the restaurant is the worst I have ever experienced. Staff while polite were very over stretched. We were a couple and they sat us at a long table set for four, with little cutlery. We waited for half an hour between each course after we had eaten. No one came to ask if we wanted more drinks. The couple on the next table asked to see the manager but he didn't show. The quality of the food was very poor. Wouldn't come back and wouldn't recommend.

We were disappointed with the food here. We had ordered sandwiches and were delivered food on a roll. It was accompanied with salad and coleslaw. It was around 9pm and the salad and coleslaw looked like they had been lying all day. Dried up and yucky looking.

We had high hopes for this restaurant because of the number of positive reviews. Our meal, sadly was pretty awful from start to finish. My wife's salad leaves were almost all rotten - browned and blackened all round the edges. My starter was okay...Both venison and duck were ordered medium rare but came very well done. Both dishes were covered in the same gloopy gravy (think cheap, roast dinner).Devastated that the bill came to £55 (no desserts, one glass of wine) but ended up paying much less thankfully. We discovered that the head chef was not in the kitchen that evening, but still... My wife and I are not professionally trained but would be embarrassed to serve that to our friends, let alone paying customers!

Amazing service and fantastic food - thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The was a great choice of seasonal fayre and the deserts were to die for. We were even treated to a free selection recommended by the chef - would highly recommend

Had to exchange first offering of a steak on a mega break due to it being too difficult to carve.Second one only marginally better.

The food was prepared well and the presentation was lovely, it was an enjoyable meal but the thing that I will always remember was the excellent service were nothing was to much trouble, I would highly reccomend this restraunt and will visit again the next time I'm in Harrogate

The worst meal we,ve ever had anywhere. Had to be sent back, no replacement meal offered. The whole evening was a faulty towers experience. We paid top money for a special evening which we won,t forget for all the wrong reasons. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. As they say " you live and learn ".

Our meal was wonderful! The staff were excellent. Reasonable prices too. The chef sent a complimentary desert which was delicious. 5* chef at this establishment!

Really great breakfast - amazing selection of fruit, cereals, bread, pastries, Full English and could keep you fuelled for a very busy day. Staff are extremely attentive and friendly. Even if you dont stay at the Hotel this is probably the best breakfast in town.

We stayed overnight at this hotel and decided to eat there too and pleased to say we were delighted we did. Excellent meal. We chose to eat from the two course set meal and then chose our dessert from the Al a Carte menu. Our rump steak was second to none and it was only as we finished eating it did we realise that we had not been given a steak knife and fork. That was how tender it was and it cut like butter. This was the only omission and I am mentioning it in a positive not negative statement because the meal was beautifully presented and the service was excellent

In spite of a major mess-up on our booking, when the food came, it was well worth waiting for. There was no written advice as to what was g-free but the waitress seemed to know and was also happy to consult the chef. My salmon, poached at my request to be g-free, was a small portion but absolutely delicious and the salad dressing tasty and just sufficient. My husband's veg were a little too all-dente for him, but non-the-less tasty and all plates were attractively served. It was too late for eating much so he finished with a piece of apple pie whilst I watched! Eating from the set menu gave sufficient choice and the food was delicious.

Sue was attentive throughout the visual offering help to charge mobile unprompted. All team friendly including the manager who checked on me. Excellent stuff. Also took number and name as my appointment never showed. Very impressed.

Really enjoyed our food here. Good choice of food that was beautifully cooked and presented. Lovely service.

We dined at the Brasserie and all I can say is the food was cooked to perfection. Absolutely gorgeous. Very well presented too. The staff very friendly. Would definitely dine here again.

First night meal was a disappointment with wrong orders and. It mixed up.second evenings meal was splendid and faultless. Breakfast on both days was very good with lovely choice

A modern looking restaurant with lovely food and fantastic service. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the food is presented beautifully.

Booked a table for myself and a friend, the restaraunt was almost empty, yet no one there to greet us or show us to our table! We sat down and .........waited, eventually helping ourselves to menus! Limited choice of food on a lunch time, the lamb burger was totally inedible, was raw on the inside yet tough as old boots, sorry to say we won't be rushing back!

Three course meal was just too expensive for what it was, especially with the numerous options nearby.

The food was amazing. There was unfortunately no children's menu however the staff were accommodating and suggested we order a bar meal for our son and they would bring it to our table as soon as it was ready even if the adults meals weren't ready. The desserts are amazing especially the cheeseboard as you can choose how many cheeses you would like (3-5) and which ones.

excellent meal. got a bonus amouse bouche of vegetable soup with olive bread which was delicious. for starter i had cauliflower soup with wednesleydale cheese panna cotta, im a huge fan of cheede so this was ideal for me, the walnut tuiles were a little tasteless but didnt spoil the dish. for main i had seabass with baby veg and chive mash, portion was a touch small but was lovely nonetheless. i chose the cheese slate for dessert and to be honest i could of had that for my main meal, you can choose from 3 to 6 cheeses, which are all locally sourced. my favourite was the harrogate blue which i will try to buy for myself. the pinot grigo wine was also lovely. staff were very attentive and polite. superb

staying at cedar court hotel many times and eaten in the restaurant many times i knew that i was going to have a wonderful meal and i was not disapointed. the food was fresh from starters to desserts all cooked as requested, also excellent chefs and waiting staff, just waiting for you to try the excellent menu, you must give it a try on your stay or even just for a night out, you will not be disapointed

The food was good and the free pre-starter was a nice touch.The staff were very friendly and service was quick, Try the chick pea chips

My Partner and I ate here as we were staying in the Hotel for 2 days and dinner on our first night was included in our deal. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. We both had the chicken liver brulee to start, my partner had the rump steak which was one of the nicest steaks he had ate. I had the pork chop which was cooked to perfection. Would recommend anyone to eat here.

The food was great, what we always say is? if you go out happy and fullfrom a resterant, that is what counts and we serttenly went out both

A winter break to Harrogate meant that we selected a place to stay where we could eat in, what a superb meal on both evenings preceded by amuse bouche compliments of the chef, a lovely addition. Presentation was lovely, service with a smile and both the steak and the pork I had was delectable. Very good value for money for such execution.

Good modern menu and very imaginative well cooked and presented food. Competent waiting staff had just the right degree of friendliness and interest in the diner..No complaints at all.Seating comfortable, table space unrestricted. Relaxing interlude.Would choose to eat here if we were in Harrogate again even as non residents.

A hotel venue I know really well having been to many large functions there. The food is usually adequate and exactly what you would expect of a meal for 300 people. On a whim we visited the Brasserie as we could walk and have a drink. The ambiance is excellent....cleverly keeping you away from the functions in the other parts of the hotel. the food is a different league from elsewhere in the hotel. Our waitress Olivia was first class, a good intelligent level of conversation, attentive but not overly so. My only caveat is that a starter of scallops with only 2 scallops is a touch embarrassingly mean. They did look at bit lonely on the plate. Main course delicious. Overall a thoroughly pleasant experience and particularly good value. 3 courses £20. Well done.

3 course sun lunch was £16.95 or £14.95 for 2 courses.Enjoyed the roast beef (med rare and matured beef) +veg and lovely big proper Yorks Pud and nice gravy.Deserts were good, I had bread and butter pudding and custard, very tasty.We both had prawn cocktail as starters but it was very bland, no paprika, no chopped tomato, nothing to give it any colour or flavour.Pre starter was complimentary and it was welcome, a little scone type bread, nice.Malbec wine at £18 a bottle was very tasty and good value from a 4* hotel.We would book it again, good quality brasserie .

The tabladote was extensive & the alternative menue spolied you for choice.Service received was perfect & if she is still there it was delivered by a young lady called NICOLE..........& if you ever had a problem the manager Aimeee is always available & helpful, having said that we didn't have any issuesThe food was well presented and delicious 10/10 & certainly in our opinion vlaue for money, if there was a downside it would be the cost of the extra vegs etc, which although well presented were in our opinion a little expensive for what they were and the portion they came inHaving said that we would gladly revisit the restaurant when we next visit Harrogate & would not hesitate in taking friends with usThanks Nicole/Aimee for making our meal enjoyable & a great eveningMike T

We were staying at the hotel and our deal included a two course meal with a bottle of wine. A thoroughly good meal with amuse bouche to start - complimants of the chef.

I would never normally think of going to a hotel restaurant as a non resident diner but having my sisters wedding here we came for a pre wedding meal. It was unbelievably good food! Sarah looked after us so well, there was a lot of us so we had our own private dining room, great for the kids! All food was of the highest quality and reasonably priced, we had taste card too so even better! The 3 course for £20 was unbelievable value. Would highly recommend to all, resident or non resident!! We will be back soon!!

Excellent food and worth a visit. We stayed at the hotel and having had quite a journey the day we arrived decided to dine at the hotel that evening. A la carte reasonable hotel prices but we had a set menu of 3 courses for £20 and with a taste card this proved excellent value for money. Food was excellent, well presented and service was good. Only 1 criticism was that we were served warm white wine initially which in my mind should never happen. We complained and this was dealt with, but not all that quickly although what we had was good in the end.
